Madison

Description

Madison is a lively, loving and fun little lady seeking her forever home.

Madison came into our care from the dog pound due to her and her friend Gigi having deformed back legs and other medical requirements. After xrays and many vet consults, specialist vet consults and even an assessment by an animal physiotherapost. sadly Madisons back leg was not fixable, as it had been left untreated for too long and the formed leg had fused solid in a bent shape. She was not able to use the bad leg and it just hung there. So she has just had her leg removed there by our vets there on the 8th of July and she hasnt looked back since. She seems so much more happy and free now, you would think she had lived her whole life on three legs. Though to a degree I suppose she had prior to the amputation, as her bad leg was not usable. :/ When she came into rescue she also had bad teeth, but our vets did a full dental and she is now up to date on all vet care and is a happy and healthy girl who is ready to start her new life. Madison is great with other dogs of all sizes, and could live with another dog pending meet and greet. She could also be rehomed with her friend Gigi the other chinese crested, but unlike Madison, Gigi was not able to have her bent bad leg removed as her other back leg also has deformaties and so the vets didnt want to risk any further weakness or instability through removing any legs. But Gigi is also super happy and can walk and run and jump just like any other dog also, she will just always have a deformed back leg that she will often just have held up and dangling. She is not in pain or anything at all, she is just special. Offcourse the girls dont have to go to a home togeather, If Gigi doesnt find a home she will be remaining here in our home. Madison is a very lively and always up for fun. She will need basic training such as house training, as i dont think they were 'pets' before we got them, they have most likely been from some kind of puppy farm or backyard breeder given their deformaties and poor health on arrival. As Madison is bouncy and lively, a home with kids over 8yrs+ would be required. She walks ok on the lead but might need some continued basic training. She would be best in a home with human or dog company most of the time. Madison is a hairy hairless chinese crested, so whilst she does require some regular baths to keep her skin clean just like us humans. And extra protection or care is required during the summer months to prevent sunburn.. :)
