My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Adoption Fee: $150.00

 

This is Powder and she's a Morkie…Maltese/Yorkie. Powder has to be the sweetest baby girl I have ever fostered. She’s a tiny little thing weighing in at 6lb. We’re not sure how old Powder is…guessing 10+.
 
She is fully house trained!!  You should see her climbing that 4” to get back in the door…her sweet little tiny legs!!!
 
Powder does have some medical issues. She has Cushings and will be onTrilostane for the rest of her life. In addition, she will need close monitoring by a veterinarian to ensure her cortisol levels remain at a healthy level.
 
Powder’s little belly is very distended due to her not receiving veterinary care for this disease prior to coming to SCMR. Hopefully we will see some improvement.  She has very little hair as a result of Cushings, but now that she’s on the correct dose of medication her hair is finally starting to grow again.
 
Powder also has a hernia on her belly, but the vet has assured us it is not cause for concern.
 
This baby will definitely need a dental. Her appointment for a consultation is coming up soon.
 
We do not feel it’s the right time for Powder to be adopted just yet, but we would be grateful for sponsors to help with Powder's veterinary and prescription needs. Powder also needs a dental which will be expensive. Won't you consider sponsoring Powder with a generous donation?

She is currently being fostered in Brunswick, GA.
