Reina, Labrador Retriever For Adoption In Gillsville, Georgia

Location:

Gillsville, GA

Description:

We were so shocked and confused the morning we woke up to find 4 week old Reina had abruptly lost use of her rear legs. One of our Vets met us outside to exam her, fearing a highly contagious puppy disease. Multiple test were performed. We were being prepared for the worst while we waited for results. As test results came in negative the doctors remained perplexed and confused. Especially when her sister Cheyenne presented the same symptoms except much milder (she is expected to make a full recovery). Reina started to withdraw and tried to hide. Her body becoming more rigid as she became inactive. Her Vet discussed quality of life with us. Saying they would support our decisions every step of her journey. Reina did not appear to be in physical pain. Her appetite was always good and she is not incontinent. The rescue agreed we should enroll the girls in Rehabilitation therapy. To give them an opportunity to learn early in life to manage their unique abilities. After 5 full day therapy sessions Reina is moving her body much more freely. She loves playing in leaves and chewing pine cones. Sitting on the raised ground under the trees playing queen of the hill with her siblings. Her name means Queen and is very appropriate for her. Everyday she becomes more content and relaxed. Getting stronger, confident, more affectionate and sassy. Her brothers and sisters do not push her around one little bit! We are hoping for an adopter that has experience with paralyzed dogs and wheelchair training. Dirt Road Doggie's Rescue will remain available to assist in helping meet Reina's needs. This precious soul is displaying the strength, spirit and spunk needed to do remarkable things and achieve incredible results! Reina is Lab/Golden Retriever/Shepherd(?)mix.
