Sissy Alice

From Sissy Alice’s Final Refuge Mom:   Sissy Alice who is about 14 years old, made her way to her permanent Old Dog Haven foster home with us very overweight, with suspected heart problems and a history of bladder stones.  Sissy needed a new home when her owner became very sick and passed away.  It was a very sad time but Sissy must have known that she would be welcomed by all because she walked into her new home and it was like she had always lived here.  Our two other Old Dog Haven foster dogs, Noodle and Sir Buffington, and our two resident cats loved her from first sniff and the feeling was mutual.

Sissy is so sweet and quiet and very, very smart.  It is clear that other than being overfed and given too many treats she was well loved.  My husband and I are completely in love with her and she is getting plenty of belly rubs which she likes almost as much as food.

Sissy is now on a prescription diet that we hope will help control bladder stones and has a scheduled appointment with a cardiologist and with a veterinarian for a complete exam to determine if there are other issues that we do not know about at this time.  She has lost a little bit of weight and is now able to take productive walks which will help with her health overall.  Sissy was listed as a Yorkie but it’s clear that she is a mix of some other breed, we think Shih Tzu, a friend said she must be a Shorkie (I like that).

Thanks to Old Dog Haven Sissy Alice will receive the medical care that she needs and we, as her forever foster family, will provide the love and care that she so deserves.
