 My name is
Daisy and I'm 10 years old. I was taken to the shelter when my original
owner could no longer care for me. Due to having seizures and having to
be on phenobarbital daily, plus a chronic skin condition, combined with
my age, I was not deemed adoptable and was to be put down. CCDR rescued
me and I'm currently in foster care living with POMERANIANS! I was taken
to the vet the day after my shelter release and found I also have a heart
murmur. I am a good girl but have been told I have an odd odor to me. No
one wants to pick me up because they say I leave this strange scent on
them. The smell is due to the waxy residue on my skin and my allergies,
but my foster mom bathes me weekly with shampoo that helps the sebaceous
smell and also helps to relieve the constant itch that makes me want to
scratch all of the time.
If you would like to be my buddy, I'd love to hear from you. If you'd like to donate towards my medical treatments, that would be great also! I am just one of the many dogs CCDR has in foster care who needed help, got it and will be in permanent foster care. We are great dogs, we just need a little more care. Thanks for visiting. See you at the hot dog stand! --- Daisy Mae

I was doing very
well, starting to grow more coat and keeping the seizures at bay until
one day I had 4 in a row. My foster mom rushed me to the vet where I had
another one. It looks like I'm on phenobarbital daily now and permanently.
I'm also going to have to be on natural foods without corn or chemicals
and bathed in a medicated shampoo weekly. Here's a picture of my tail.
I'm not sure I'll get hair back but if I don't I'll just use it as a conversation
piece and pretend I am a smooth dachshund on the back end!
Here's
one of my favorite things to do! I love to roll in the grass! It feels
soooo good and scratches me at the same time.
