Story
Mamacita's basic bio is below, but we maintain more detailed information about each of our animals on our website, which is also always up to date with animals removed immediately once they are adopted. Please visit Mamacita's page on our site (https://www.muddypawsrescue.org/adoptable?dog=005846) to learn even more about Mamacita!
Additionally, please note that the breed listed for Mamacita is just our best guess based on the dog's physical features. We cannot make any guarantees about the accuracy of our guesses.
PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO VOLUME, WE ARE GENERALLY UNABLE TO RESPOND TO INQUIRIES MADE USING THE 'ASK ABOUT ME' BUTTON. Please reach out to us directly using the contact information on our website: www.muddypawsrescue.org.
Mamacita is a perfect land manatee that reminds everyone that it is OK to not be in a hurry. She loves being out in the world, so much so that she will bark into the air to say "hello world!" as she is walking down the sidewalk. She loves meeting everyone, including people, kids, dogs, cats, and will even walk up to pigeons to find out what they are doing. She has a hop in her step when we are heading out for walks, but will slow down tremendously when it looks like we are headed in the direction of home, and will sometimes stall by making friends with people at outdoor cafés.
Mamacita is a whole different dog from when we first took her in, and is so very happy all the time. She takes medicine for her Addison's Disease (which will be fully covered by a grant) and monthly arthritis medication, so she is thriving and taking it all in stride. The best news? -- 15/10 Foundation is now sponsoring Mama and will cover the costs of the medication for her Addison's Disease for whoever adopts her!
Mama is still not very interested in wrestling with her foster sister, but she is a pro at unstuffing a stuffy. She initially appeared to be deaf, or very, very hard of hearing, but that makes life in a chaotic city pretty easy. However, she is now starting to respond to noises as her health has improved, so that might be remediated at some point. She knows basic commands given to her visually, is always looking at you to follow your cues, and always waits patiently for food and treats, even if others are getting them first. While she is super excited for mealtimes, she will sit and wait until given the ok to dig in. She prefers to be surrounded by people and other pets even if she's just laying down while chaos ensues.
