Brinley is an 11-month-old purebred Golden puppy whose owners did not have time for her after their third child was born and the husband had started a new job. This lovely girl had no known health problems, was already spayed, micro-chipped and up to date on all vaccines including leptospirosis. However, it was noted that she was scratching a lot, so Apoquel was prescribed. When our Transporter was scheduling delivery, the FWITA mentioned that her dogs (plural) would be very excited. As only one dog showed up in the home evaluation, the transporter called to find out how many, how old and what type. She learned they now have a Beagle mix about a year old and a 7-month-old Cattle Dog/GP mix who have both been through basic obedience. She also learned that the FWITA is a former ER vet tech, now nurse practitioner, with four teenage boys and a spouse – all camp, hike and partake in various outdoor activities in which they include their dogs. Our AGR Behaviorist saw no reason this would not be an excellent option for this previously under exercised and untrained dog. The transporter related that Brinley is doing fine in her new home. She slept all night, no accidents in the house, loves the little baby pool and gets in every time she goes out to potty – they are going to get her a bigger one. The family sent pictures of her in the pool and sleeping with one of the other dogs. Everyone seems happy. The adopter contacted us at the 3-week mark after we delivered Brinley: We love her and cannot imagine life without her! She and the other girls play together and sleep together. Brinley is still timid when going out so we are working on that – will be hard to get her out too much until it cools off more! But all is well. Oh and she loves the cats!
