Laighla gets along with dogs, cats kids, birds, everything! She is grateful to be out of the shelter and ALIVE! Since we have had her in foster care she has become rehousebroken and accustomed to being part of a family again. She 'talks' to her people when she wants something. So you can have a real conversation with this beauty! You will never meet a dog as sweet as our Leighla. She was taken to a shelter in OH where she tested positive for heartworms. They out her in the back, out of public eye, for 7 long lonely months. Some new rescue associates started working at the shelter and contacted MTM. We took her into rescue and treated her or her heartworms. Three months later her vet gave the okay to have the entropian eyes repaired. The vet does not feel she has recovered enough from her heartworm treatment for spay surgery. We feel like she has waited so long for a home of her own, that we want to pursue that now. Whomever is lucky enough to adopt this girl, will be required, with our assistance, to spay her before the end of the year.
