Senior poodle in urgent need of a new home


Its everyone's worst nightmare .... that something unexpected happens to us ... as guardians .... and the pets that depend on us for love and safety are left homeless and lost.
This little girl is Mindy and she's carrying a pretty big load for such a tiny girl. Mindy is a senior poodle and by everyone's best estimate she is twelve.
Her guardian passed away quite unexpectedly and now this little lady needs to get into a safe and quiet home.
Mindy has always been an only 'kid' , so the friends of her late guardian who are looking after her in the interim feel that she would be happiest in a home without other pets or small children.
More importantly, Mindy has Cushing's disease, so it will be very important for her new home to be willing and able to manage the periodic testing required to keep her levels balanced so that she can maintain a good quality of life. A vet check has been booked for tomorrow which should yield more information about that.
Our pets grieve for us .... and I believe its worse when they don't understand why we aren't there for them anymore. The friends who are looking after Mindy are hoping to settle her into a home where she will have someone home during the day for company.... and of course because with Cushings she very likely needs more frequent pee breaks.
In the interest of protecting personal privacy, if anyone is interested in opening their home and their heart to little Mindy, please send an email to webmaster@nshomelesspets.com and I will forward it on to the kind folks who have taken on the responsibility of securing a good home for this little sweetheart.
