CANDI who was rescued from a Dog Pound.. she was found as a stray.. CANDI was microchipped and her owner was notified.. Oddly the owners lived out of state. They never came to get CANDI or even call about her.. They said they would come.. but did not. Very sad, because CANDI is a total sweetheart. SHE was my overnight guest … so, here is what I know:
CANDI is 13 Yrs. old… She weighs 6 Lbs. She is a Maltese.. She is up to date on all vaccinations and is spayed. She does have a grade 3/6 heart murmur but was not placed on any heart medication. She has been at the Sanctuary since May 23, 2024.. NONE of us have ever heard her bark.. She is up front with the office staff and Lobby dogs.. She has been doing well and is TOTALLY potty broke..
UPON ENTERING “The Brown House” she was a little overwhelmed by all of my “well trained” HA ! doggies who met her out in the yard – sniffed her and went on their way.. CANDI proceeded to investigate the entire yard.. FOR A LONG TIME.. I finally had to go and get her inside.. She did go potty in the yard without a problem.. MY DOGS BARK – She does not. Then she navigated the entire down stairs.. THIS was good to see since all she ever does here is sit in her bed in her condo Kennel WITH THE DOOR OPEN…. She did not know how to go up or down stairs, but quickly learned and did well. AFTER A VERY LONG walk all over the house and getting into a crate (DOOR OPEN) She kept coming in & out.. as if she THOUGHT she was supposed to stay in the crate.. Up the stairs she came and found a doggie bed to her liking and plopped down… I guess the funny part is MY DOGS ability to teach CANDI to beg for food when I ate dinner.. OHHH she learned that quick.. but she is not a nuisance about it, she just stares at you with cute little needy eyes. One more potty break and then time for bed.. Again, found the bed she wanted (we have MANY).. Fell sound asleep and slept through the night. This morning bright & early – up and attum and outside she went to do her business. SHE DID! and patiently waited for her breakfast. Ate well and and off we went to the Sanctuary. She was a little more lively when here BUT, once again is spending most of the time in the condo kennel… I think CANDI needs another night with me in my home.. I am going to try to get her to sleep in a human bed (with 7 other doggies) to see if that will get her out of her shell.
She looks JUST LIKE PERFECT who also is a Maltese ( both are shaved down due to severe matting) BUT CANDI is newly shaved down & her skin is pink.. She BETTER show me soon, that she has a different trait OR I will name her “PINKY BROWN” and keep her!!!. BTW.. the dog named “PERFECT” is not so perfect as we all thought.. she is a barker.. but loves to snuggle in my bed every night.
