My personality

My story

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

Tori is being fostered in Florida.

Tori is a very laid back 10# girl who is quiet and rarely barks. She loves to be outside with her nose facing the breeze and catching the scents in the air. She lives as an only dog - but is very tolerant of the other dogs in our building. The cat in the family is not fond of Tori but Tori does not mind the cat. Tori has a favorite green blanket where she naps and sleeps at night (and is a loud snorer!). She likes frequent walks on leash and is house trained. She enjoys being on your lap or next to you while you are watching tv.

Little is known about Tori’s past except that she was taken from her elderly owner who could no longer care for her. Pictures here show her ungroomed condition when she entered the shelter and after being groomed. Tori’s right eye had been removed at some time in the past and she has no vision in her left eye. Pressure in that eye is normal and her medical vet noted a dilated pupil and asteroid hyalosis. She has an appointment to see an opthamologist next month.

She often scratches the right side of her face but no reason has been found for this. Tori does not drink from her water bowl but does drink water added to her kibble and gets four small meals a day. On arrival at her foster home in Florida, Tori was treated for worms including tapeworms. This probably contributed to her anemia and she is on lixotinic for that. She had a 4DX test and it was all negative including heartworms. A dental cleaning has been done and four teeth were removed. A benign lesion was removed from her left thigh at that time also. Tori gets very anxious with car rides, but her vet has ordered Trazodone to help her with this. Due to her size a home without young children is recommended.
BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.
