Meet Mamas! This sweet girl was found as a stray. Luckily, a Good Samaritan brought her in and she is now ready to find her furrever home! Sometimes stray dogs need a little more time and space to get accustomed to living in a home. It is always a good idea to start off your new dog in a dedicated space equipped with a bed, food, and toys. This will help them decompress and get accustomed to the new sights, smells, and sounds. Mamas is one of our Special Care pets meaning she needs a bit more love. Mamas gets chronic ear infections in both her ears and will require some special attention to treat those when they occur. Mamas has some muscle wasting on her head that is suspected to be due to nerve damage. She does not let these things get her down, but would benefit from some extra vet visits! If you have questions regarding Mamas, we encourage you to reach out to your adoption guide during your onsite visit or email adoption@anticruelty.org. With some food, play, and patience, most dogs will really enjoy being part of a family again. Interested in helping Mamas go from stray to cherished pet? Come and meet with her at Anti Cruelty today!
