Katy is a very special 10 week old puppy with special needs. She was born with Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD).  VSD is a congenital heart defect in which a small hole remains between the two ventricles of the heart.  Katy has been seen by a Cardiologist who performed an echocardiogram. The cardiologist feels like she has a good chance at a normal life span with her quality of life  not being significantly affected.   Although Katy’s prognosis seems good right now, a definitive prognosis cannot be determined until she is fully grown.  There is always a possibility of heart failure which may need to be treated with medication as she ages.  Katy will need to have another echo done at 6 months, 12 months of age then yearly after that.   At this time she is not having any symptoms and is a VERY happy and playful puppy who would love to have a home to call her home.  Katy is a spaniel mix (Mama is a cocker spaniel) and weighs 4lbs.  She has been microchipped and her adoption will include all vaccinations and spay.  If you are interested in giving this special girl a home please apply at tireddogrescue.com.

We at Tired Dog Rescue strive to find homes for dogs in need, build quality relationships with responsible owners, and preserve current dog-family homes by seeking solutions to financial, behavioral, and situational dog problems. We believe the lives of homeless, abandoned and abused dogs are just as precious as dogs that currently have a loving home. We believe that all dogs deserve a loving home despite their age, medical condition and/or disabilities. We provide whatever medical care is needed regardless of cost. All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and current on vaccinations before being placed.
