About taffy

APPLICATION LINK: https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application-pet-central-satx/ We must have an application to move forward. TAFFY is probably a Schnauzer mix...22#s, 3 yrs old. She is very sweet and affectionate. She loves other dogs and leaves my cats alone. We are working on house training. She loves to sleep with me...in my arms...and will roll over and look up at me with the most pleased look on her face. You can't help but love her. Taffy came to me with a limp. After x-rays of her right rear leg, the vet suspected she had been hit by a car and the femoral head fractured. We had an FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy) performed. The primary goal of an FHO is to remove bone-on-bone contact, restoring pain-free mobility. This is not an inexpensive procedure but sometimes Rescues must endure the cost to make the life better for the dog...and believe me... she is well worth it. Her recovery is complete according to the vet although she still hops. She is not in pain but she has been favoring the leg so long that she hasn't realized she can use it. We are doing some PT to strengthen the muscles and I do catch her using it when she is playing with other dogs. I have all of the medical records to support the vet's findings. Taffy is not going to be the long-distance hiker or running a mile. She will improve but it will take time... weeks/months. It will be soon. Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, health certificate, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heart worm prevention. If you have any questions or would like an e-mail from us as to how all of this works, text me (Terry); identify the dog's name and give me your email address... 210-394-6060.
