Velvet
is an 8 year old, fawn and rust, cropped and docked female whose
owner called with a lengthy list of reasons why he didn't want
her… "pees and craps all over the house", "tears
up mattresses and blinds and chews on window sills", "gets
into trash and pulls food off counters." Our intake person
suggested a sample of Velvet's urine be checked by her veterinarian
to rule out a medical problem as a possible cause for the never
before seen behaviors. She nearly fell off her chair at the man's
response: "I don't want to spend any money on her. She's
old and I have no use for her." It seems Velvet's owners
had recently divorced, and her behavior changes started soon after
her "new daddy" moved in. We couldn't get her out of
there fast enough!
It took Velvet some time to acclimate to her new
surroundings, but a little extra TLC did the trick. She has lived
with children, dogs, and cats without issue. Velvet loves to snuggle
in her dog bed and be covered with "a toasty" (a blanket
right out of the dryer). None of the destructive behavior has
been observed here. Velvet has been clean since her urinary tract
infection has been addressed. We're thinking Velvet will do just
fine in a home where she is fussed over and treated with compassion
and respect.

for? Please contact Doberman Rescue Unlimited, Inc. at Doberman@dru.org
