ad the vet xray her back legs. It appears that both back legs (femurs) were broken awhile back in exactly the same spot as if she was stuck with an object (vet guessed baseball bat). If she was hit intentionally, I hope that person gets what they deserve (KARMA!). We will be talking with a specialist to see what we can do other than joint supplements. Zoey was found as a stray and taken to a local shelter near Springfield MO. When no one claimed her, we were asked to take her into rescue. Zoey appears to be a young adult (3-4 years) and looks border collie but does not have a tail. She is up to date on vaccinations and has been heartworm tested. She will be spayed and microchipped soon. Here's what her foster mom has to say about her: "Zoey has started to come out of her shell. She loves being outside. She is like a compeletely different dog compared to inside and outside. Inside she lays by the door on the dog bed. She is starting to gain confidence and walk around the living room and dining room. She does not walk up the stairs. She is nervous around sudden moves or if you come at her from above. She does well when you come at her level. She is house trained. She will go into her kennel with a little coaxing. We have been working the kennel command and she is nervous around the kennel. She sleeps in the kennel at night but we are going to try her without the kennel this week. She really likes my fiancee and will follow him around. When she wants attention she will come sit in front if him. Outside, she has recently been off leash and stays in the yard. She will go out and potty and then run back and sit by the door. As of right now we are outside with her. Just the other day she was rolling in the grass and running around chasing my other dogs. She even picked up a ball the other day. She loved it but doesn't understand fetch quite yet. She does get sick in the car so will need minimal food before traveling." To help pay for vet bills and care (transportation, food, toys, etc..) a $250 donation is requested at the time of adoption. All of our adoptions are contingent upon an approved application, home visit, reference check, obedience training agreement, and signing of adoption contract. All our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before adoption. Our dogs are companion animals that live indoors as part of your family. Please do not apply if your plan is to have them as outside dogs, garage dogs, porch dogs or outside kennel dogs. We do not ship dogs. All of our dogs are in private foster homes. We are not a shelter with hours. A visit can be arranaged after an adoption questionnaire has been filled out and sent in. Please try email first. We are all volunteers that work so we can not easily take or make phone calls.
