Outcome Type: ADOPTED RESCUE
Samantha Urgent Rescue Pickup Needed by Saturday, June 21st @ 5:00 p.m.
Intake Info: A source reported finding a senior female canine running loose in the Loxahatchee area. PBSO advised that she has an injury to her ear. Once our officer arrived at the scene, he observed that the canine either had an ear infection or a hematoma. He then scanned her for a microchip and found a registered owner; the canine’s name was Samantha. The officer contacted the owner, who advised that she rehomed Samantha several years ago because she had to move. She stated she did not remember who she rehomed Samantha to. The officer asked if she wanted Samantha back, and she said no, as she was living in an apartment in a different county. The officer then transported Samantha to ACC.
Medical: Samantha is a nine-year-old spayed canine who has severe left ear disease. Her ulcerated otitis externa was noted, and she is unable to view the canal. There is severe edematous left pinna and surrounding tissues. Calcified otic cartilages and edematous pinna have cracked open at the point of the bend with thick mucus and colored otic discharge.
Samantha is heartworm-negative and vaccinated.
Volunteer Notes: volunteers noted that they did not have any issues leashing or walking Samantha through the kennel; she did not react to other dogs when they walked past her. She allowed our volunteers to pet her all over and also allowed them to use a washcloth on her face to remove all the crusty debris. She is a sweet lady; she would sit for treats, did well during baths, and was quiet and mellow.
Request to Rescues: A sweet and mellow senior gem, Samantha, urgently needs rescue help.
She needs to visit a private vet for her severe, painful, end-stage otic disease that requires surgical correction.
