ADOPT/RESCUE- NODAS MED - Needs placement by 11/4 at 11am CST Vett A1302503 3 years old Unaltered Female 32.4 lbs Heartworm: High Positive Intake Type: STRAY found on GALLOWAY AVE, DALLAS TX Adopets Link: https://adopt.adopets.com/pet/5a512427-0f83-4127-9f43-e1de1482e825 Bio This 3‑year‑old girl is at risk for euthanasia due to severe constipation and an inability to defecate on her own, requiring medical care that we are unable to provide. She appears very shut down and overwhelmed in the shelter environment, often remaining curled up quietly in her kennel and showing little interest in interacting. When approached, she avoids eye contact and can be too nervous to engage or even get up to go outside. Beneath her fearful demeanor is a dog who needs patience, understanding, and a safe place to decompress. A rescue or experienced adopter willing to give her the medical and emotional support she needs could make all the difference in her future. Medical Observation 10/28: Pet has been prescribed Doxycycline for 28 days as part of our new heartworm therapy. Pet is to go home with remaining Doxycycline prescribed.
