CADDIE - BASSET HOUND / TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Basset Hound / Terrier / Mixed. Caddie is the happiest little puppy with the sweetest personality, but you’d never guess the dark secret she was hiding when she arrived to us skin and bones. When she first reached her foster home, this poor girl regurgitated every single meal. At first it looked like a simple stomach bug… but further testing revealed the real issue: megaesophagus - a dilated, inflamed esophagus that makes food come right back up. Scary? It sounds it. But here’s the truth: for Caddie, thankfully it’s totally manageable. No surgery. No complicated meds. Just a simple updated feeding routine, and she’s already thriving on it! She eats blended meals from a raised bowl, takes one easy liquid med, then relaxes in her crate to let her food settle (usually while sleeping ). That’s literally it. What breaks our hearts is imagining how long she struggled before anyone noticed. She’s still skinny, but she’s finally gaining weight, and her confidence is blossoming every single day in her busy foster home . Caddie is truly one of a kind! She’s friendly with everyone (people, kids, cats, dogs), gentle, submissive, potty trained, belly-rub obsessed, routine-loving, and just 28 lbs with ears that absolutely deserve their own fan club. Yes, she needs a little extra care. But she gives back so much extra joy back and she serves the chance to have her very own forever home. Caddie is easy to manage, easy to love, and ready for the person or family who sees how special she really is.
