Nori is an 18 month old, about 50ish lb, sweet as can be and just beautiful female Golden Retriever who has been surrendered to GRRAND due to her medical needs. She was born with an ectopic ureter and has had surgery to help the issue and she is about 90% better now, but still has some leaking. Nori has to be let out every 4 hours during the day or she will not only have an accident, but will increase her chances of bladder infections. She has to be properly cleaned on a regular basis, to prevent bladder infection and she will likely have recurring bladder infections, but keeping them as infrequent as possible is the idea. There's still a chance she can continue to get better, and we will have her evaluated by our vet as well.
We are told by her former owner: "Nori is your classic golden! She's got basic obedience, loves water, started her on dock diving training, catching disc, no issues with kids/dogs/environments, crate trained, and a big cuddler. Honestly the best dog and a classic golden. She would do great with either dock diving, or disc, and maybe even scent work. Shes is a good thinker, very good and toy motivated. Now why she is for rehome. I got nori for a friend at about 12 weeks. She was born with a ectopic ureter which caused her to leak urine constantly. She wasn’t supposed to be my dog but I’ve paid for her vet bills and had her full time for the last 4 months to try and figure out why after surgery she was still leaking. She had her surgery at about 6 months old and has continuously gotten better after surgery and with daily proin (meds), and numerous rounds of antibiotics for bladder infections. Her leaking is 90% better than when we got her. But I don’t believe she will ever fully not leak, and she needs her meds twice a day. I’ve decided it would be best to find her someone that can understand how to manage an issue like this. And someone that is willing to do a sport or work her, because I think she would do so good with a sport! I can not keep her sadly cause I already have 3 dogs of my own that do various sports. She deserves a great home because she is an amazing dog."
Nori has just gone to a foster home, but if you have questions about her health/medical needs, or would like to meet this sweet girl, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org
