Adopt Moon a White Bichon Frise / Mixed (short coat) dog in Malvern

Location:

Malvern, PA

Description:

Moon is a 5.5 year old spayed female Bichon Frise who weighs 14 lbs. She came to All 4 Paws from a breeding kennel after she was no longer wanted for breeding purposes. Moon is lucky to be alive. The moment she was handed over to us by the breeding kennel we knew she needed medical care. She had a large inguinal hernia and pyometra. Her uterus was filled with fluid and completely entrapped in the hernia. Pyometra is a serious and life-threatening infection of the uterus in dogs caused by bacteria and hormonal changes. She also had a mammary mass that needed to be removed and sent for biopsy. Our friends at East Bradford Vet Hospital performed life-saving surgery and she has recovered nicely. The biopsy was benign! Now, Moon is ready to start the next chapter of her life as a cherished pet! This little girl is still very timid and unsure of her new surroundings. She has started to explore at her foster home with the help of the other dogs she is living with. She will need a confident canine companion in her forever home to help her learn the ropes and feel safe. Moon didn't seem to mind the cats she was introduced to. Normal things involved with being a dog like going for leash walks and being inside are all new to Moon. She panics and wants to hide when she is afraid. A home with a yard in a quiet environment will be important to her progress. It breaks our hearts to see her so unsure, but it's clear she really wants to trust! Despite being afraid, Moon has been nothing but sweet! We have really enjoyed watching her slowly come out of her shell and can tell she is a total sweetheart! She is starting to beg for food and has even settled into the routine of the home, though she is still wary of being petted or picked up. With time and patience Moon will surely blossom into a devoted companion - all she needs is a chance. Please help us find Moon the forever family she's been dreaming of!Help us continue to step up for dogs like Moon and consider donating towards their medical care: https://secure.givelively.org/donate/all-4-paws-rescueInterested in adopting?
