Happy is one of those types of dogs that continues to view life as the glass half full. This pup joined MHCR a couple months ago at around 6-7 months of age. She found herself on death row in Texas at a high intake/high kill shelter. Once Happy got settled into foster care, it became very apparent she had sustained quite a bit of trauma in her life prior to rescue. Happy sustained a traumatic injury to her back leg as a young pup that had fully healed before she got to us. This injury possibly involved the growth plate, which has resulted in the leg being a little bit shorter than her other leg. Luckily, the orthopedic surgeons she has seen feel she is just about fully grown so this leg shouldn’t pose too large of a problem. After she had settled in for a couple of weeks, we noticed she was painful and limping on her front legs. More work up revealed she had a fractured coronoid process. What the heck is that? It’s a tiny little piece of the elbow. Happy had surgery for this and she’s recovering beautifully!
Happy has many shepherd-like characteristics and the brindle in her coat lead us to believe she is a Dutch Shepherd mix. She’s very smart, eager to please, affectionate, and loyal. Happy is petite at 42 lbs! She rides beautifully in the car, eats her meals in her crate, is house trained and enjoys days at the office with her foster mom. Happy is dog friendly after a proper intro. She particularly likes the Belgian Malinois she’s in foster with. She’s best suited with a derpy, playful, confident personality type canine companion. However, she’d be perfectly content as an only dog, as well. Happy LOVES stuffie toys and will blissfully surround herself with her favorites and quietly entertain herself. Due to her orthopedic issues since joining our care, Happy hasn’t spent much time mastering her leash skills.
Happy is in foster in Fort Collins, Colorado.
