BOO!! 👻 Did I scare you?! Sorry, that's just my name!!
Or maybe it's my legs that scare you?
I'm a 17-week-old Treeing Walker Coonhound puppy, and my two brothers and I had a pretty frightening start to life.
We weren't given the nutrition we needed as babies, and all three of us developed rickets. Our little front legs and feet became weak and deformed, and something as simple as walking was really difficult.
I know that sounds scary. And looking at pictures of our legs when we first came into rescue might be a little shocking...
But here's where the story gets a lot less frightening!
With proper nutrition, supplements, and specially fitted braces, our bones are getting stronger and our legs are improving! We're expected to make a full recovery, and PAWS has even offered to cover the cost of braces and other care we might need in the near future.
So please don't let that scare you off!!
And now, can I tell you about the REAL Boo?!
I'm a very friendly little girl who LOVES people, other dogs, and kids. I've never met a stranger! Not even a spooky one!
I'm smart, sweet, playful, and a serious snuggler. I sleep through the night, preferably snuggled up next to my people, and I'm good in my crate during the day too.
I've also mastered the doggie door, and I'm getting really close to being fully house-trained. Pretty impressive considering I've been busy growing new, stronger bones, don't you think?!
I'd love a home with another playful dog or some kids. And yes, I'll need someone willing to keep up with my medical care and help me continue getting stronger.
But here's the best part... I'm already in RHODE ISLAND! You can actually come meet me and see how wonderful I am for yourself.
So this Halloween, I'm asking you to be brave!
Please don't let my rickets scare you away. I'm just a little puppy who had a scary beginning, and I have a whole lifetime of fun, adventures, and love ahead of me.
I promise, the only thing spooky about me is my name!
