Oreo (FL)

*ADOPT ME!* Oreo - 2-3 years old, located in Florida Dog ID#: 211194-P-B-FL Intake Date: 8/2/2021 Available Date: 9/25/2021 Meet Oreo (Female) ! Oreo was on Death Row in a high kill shelter in Florida when PRO found out about her. The shelter veterinarian asked the rescue coordinators to blast her for rescue because she had very badly infected eyes. She needed diagnosis and treatment asap. Shelter notes said they were unsure if she was even able to see, which made us want to help her even more. Once we got her to safety, we found that Oreo had bilateral Entropian which basically means her eyelashes turned inward so they were rubbing against her eyes, causing extreme discomfort and infection. She had an ulcer in one eye but with proper medication that went away easily. Oreo had Entropian surgery within days of being pulled from the shelter and her eyes looked much better. She still has some healing to do, and we have a recheck coming up soon to see if we need to do anything else for her. Oreo came to us with reddened skin, and an unkempt coat. Her fur looks much better now with good diet and regular bathing. She likely lived outside or on concrete only as she has some callused elbows. Oreo now knows the comfort of soft blankies, and the big bed ( humans bed ). She loves walks and tries her hardest to not pull too much. She responds when verbally corrected and really just wants love and affection. When we first met Oreo, she barked and lunged at cats, as well as dogs. In time, she has started to accept kitty friends and she is working on her manners with other dogs. She can politely meet and greet dogs on lead without barking and lunging, and we are working on more interaction with canines since we have the cat thang figured out. Oreo likes to stand up on her hind legs and bat at things with her front legs, as well as give hugs. She settles nicely in her crate and keeps it clean. Oreo is like a hoover vacuum when it comes to food, so a slow feeder bowl is best for her, until she realizes her meals come twice a day on the regular.
