My story

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

Currently in Texas
PLEASE READ BIO CAREFULLY
Daffy is approximately two years old and 8 1/2 pounds. She is from the backyard hoarding situation here in Pleasanton. Her siblings are all the flower names 🙂
Daffy is amazing. Sweet, gentle, loving, silly, kind and adorable. She has a big heart and gets along with cats, well mannered children (no small children please due to her bad hip) and dogs , (no large hyper dogs please due to her bad hip).
Daffy unfortunately does have some bone degeneration in her left rear hip. She does not seem to be in a lot of pain, but she walks funny. Someday she will put full weight on that leg and somedays she favors it a little bit more. Daffy runs, jumps, plays, can do walks and stairs fine, at this point. We did have her at our vets office and had her x-rayed. The vet did recommend that she gets an FHO surgery.

This is a pretty invasive surgery with a long healing time. To be 110% transparent , the rescue does not have the financial freedom to get this surgery done, it’s a $2400 surgery (In Texas). We also do not have the staffing and man power to give Daffy what should require after the surgery as far as rehabilitation and rehab.
On a personal note and I am not a vet, I had this surgery done on my own personal dog many years ago and it was awful. She was in so much pain. I was crying at night listening to her cries. After months of healing she never had full range of motion of that leg, it always bothered her, and just in my personal opinion, it was not worth the cost or the pain she had to go through.
All of this being said, we do love Daffy and want to get her into a wonderful home. We are hoping we will be able to adopt her out even with her bad hip. Her new family can decide if they would like to get the surgery done at their own cost and timeframe or maybe they would prefer some other less invasive options. We are leaving it up to the person that adopts Daffy.
I am happy to send videos and xrays to potential approved adopters.
She is a darling dog and has a good quality of life.
