We asked her to pose for a picture for her big debut, but she was too busy exploring all the new toys in her foster home to stop and say cheese (but something tells us if we asked her to EAT cheese, it would be a different story!).
This 7-year-old girl is as adorable as her name (chosen by her tiny human sibling). Stick’s family experienced an unexpected change in life circumstances, and she was left alone for longer periods than her family thought was fair. With the hope of finding a home where she wouldn’t be on her own so frequently, BTRC was contacted to help.
Stick has Addison’s disease, which means her body doesn’t produce enough of the hormones cortisol and aldosterone. This might also be contributing to her skin issues. We look forward to her first vet appointment so we can learn how to best manage her health, as we know when properly treated, dogs with Addison’s can live normal lives.
With a foster family that is home often, Stick is enjoying lots of attention, and her BT foster sister is showing her the ropes. So far, Stick knows where the best pee spots are in the yard and where the sweet spot is on the couch – the one that gets the most sun rays.
We look forward to learning more about this sweet girl and will be sure to update you soon!
Stick is being fostered in Fall River, NS, and is not ready for adoption.
