Little

Little, a fifteen year old male, small, four and a half pound skinny poodle, found himself in a shelter at an advanced age and in pretty bad condition.

From his Final Refuge Foster:  He came to us as our tiny but mighty pup but was terribly incontinent, had miserable rotted teeth, a left nasal fissure which caused thick drainage, dry eyes, and a hunched arthritic spine.  We were told that Little was not a confident boy. So, on day one, he snuggled up with our eighteen year old resident shih tzu. They sleep together, play together, and Emmett, already on schedule, now has a pee partner. Stanley and Percy (ODH) are Little’s walking partners. And Satchel(ODH) is the napping partner.

Seen by our vets, Little has now the help he needs, due to ODH and donors covering meds, treatment, and procedures. Little will be seen by a cardiologist soon to okay having dental procedure done. With the pain meds on board, he is able to eat well, move better and is starting to gain some heft!

Our ‘Flying Walenda’ dances, twirls, and scampers.  Just as he should!

Update: On Friday evening Little’s fosters in Seattle very suddenly lost their toy poodle of 2 years, at ER. It was shock and a big loss to all.  He will be sorely missed.
