Meet Nanny!
Nanny came into rescue in July 2018. She is being cared for in one of our wonderful foster homes in Omaha, NE.
The story that followed her in was not pretty. She was a mill-mama, when she could no longer produce they just turned her loose. Fortunately a neighbor took her in and cared for her but ultimately she was unable to take care of Nanny’s medical needs. The neighbor estimated her age at 6 based on the number of litters they knew she had. We don’t have a firm date of birth for her.
Introducing the good life!
Nanny came in almost hairless and emaciated. Her skin, eyes, and ears were infected. The majority of her front teeth were broken right down to the gum line. Her infections were treated as was the flea infestation. She was spayed and also had 12 front teeth pulled.
I honestly didn’t think she was even a newf based upon the way she looked so we tested and have the DNA to prove she is 100% newf.
She gained weight (maybe a tad too much) and she is at 95lbs now. Her hair grew back in and she was a happy girl with the exception of still being very itchy. She is now doing immunotherapy injections for allergies, she was given a cytopoint injection for the itchiness and it has worked wonders. She also still needs weekly medicated baths.
She adapted very quickly to being an indoor pup, she is housebroken, knows how to use a doggy door, walks well on a leash, gets along with other dogs, people of all ages, she is highly motivated by food and quite trainable. She reportedly got along fine with cats but has a history of killing chickens. Her back teeth are in good shape so chomps on her kibble, bones and carrots like a champ. She is a petite/compact little girl truly a pocket newf.
Her heart and soul are characteristic of a typical newf. She does not hold her past against anyone, she is sweet and loving and seems almost grateful.
She may very well be a little higher maintenance than some folks are looking for, she repays your efforts 10-fold and someone is going to be very lucky to get her!
