Dolly is new to the Rescue. She comes to us from the shelter in Suffolk, Virginia. She is estimated to be 6 years old and weighs about 7 pounds.

Dolly saw the vet last week. As a result she is now in medical hold. She has skin allergies affecting her ears so badly they are almost swollen shut. This comes from a lifetime of neglect of her allergies. It may result in a surgery to remove the ear canal causing permanent deafness. We also learned she had a mass that needed removing and spaying.

Dolly had her spay and tumor removal surgery on Wednesday and despite all she is going through, remains a sweet little girl who just wants love and attention. She’s a very easy-going little dog and gets along well with her resident foster sibling. So far her potty manners are good (but we never guarantee a dog is fully house trained). She walks well on leash and likes to snooze in the sunlight. She is a delight but anyone interested in adopting should know she will need management of her allergies for the remainder of her life. Currently, we are trying to save her ears with aggressive treatment to get the swelling down.

If you are interested in adopting her please consider the following:

She will need to have her allergies managed with Cytopoint injections, allergy medication and possibly prescription food and anything else the vet/dermatologist recommends.
She may need surgery on her ear canals, which causes deafness, if we cannot get her allergies under control.
These issues will need life long management.
We will not be ready to adopt her out until we have a handle on her skin issues/allergies. Possibly 6 weeks or longer.
