Eden 0479

Photos of Momma dog:

Poor little Eden went out for her morning play session with the rest of her litter on 6/19, and came back limping. Her foster mom took her to the vet, and it turns out Eden *somehow* (we will never know how) fractured her right hind leg. The vet reports that it is a simple non-displaced green stick fracture just above the hock. She put a padded splint on Eden, which needs to stay on for 4-6 weeks to keep the leg protected. During her healing time, Eden will not be playing with the puppy pack, but she can get around pretty well; the splint seems to be uncomfortable, but not painful.

We have a couple of short videos here:

to show the splint and how it affects her mobility. Eden is not expected to suffer any lasting effects from this fracture, and the leg bone should heal even stronger, as it is a fracture in a growing bone. We don't mind keeping Eden until she has fully recovered, but we also know what would be best for her would be for her to begin bonding with her forever person as soon as possible, giving her the ability to heal in the comfort of her family, rather than in a shelter foster home from which it will only grow harder and harder for Eden to leave. If you feel confident that you can give Eden the safe and secure home she needs to have a calm and loving environment while her leg heals, we will be happy to place her with you at a reduced adoption fee and no transport fee; we want what is best for Eden. Do you have a warm cuddle and no stairs for her to navigate until August? If so, Eden needs you!

Eden (female) and seven siblings came to us under our Stop the Cycle program, where we take in unwanted litters of pups and spay the mother dog at our expense before returning her to her owner.

These pups have a border collie cross mother and a suspected German shorthair pointer father. They have all been very well socialized, were kept with their mother until weaned, and are now being kept together in a foster home until they head out for their new families. They are sharing the foster home with several adult dogs and two cats, so should fit in quite well in just about any household.

These pups are smart, playful and very sweet; they should all grow up to be lovely family dogs, and would appreciate a home where they can receive lots of exercise and play time. We expect them to be around 40 pounds when fully grown. Thus far, the pups haven't really started developing different personalities; they all seem to take turns being the bold adventurer or the wallflower, depending on how sleepy or curious they are! Their foster mom says they are just a joy to have around.

Spay and all age-appropriate shots are always completed before placement, and are included in the adoption donation (suggested minimum $70; more gratefully accepted!) Can't come to Republic? Don't let that stop you! If you find the pet of your dreams, Forget-Me-Not will find a way to connect you! Puppies under 6 months of age can transport to the Seattle area (usually North Bend or Monroe) or to Spokane for an additional $45 transport fee (to help reimburse our volunteer drivers for the gas used on the 700 mile round trip). (NOTE: REDUCED ADOPTION FEE AND NO TRANSPORT FEE IF EDEN IS ADOPTED WHILE STILL RECOVERING FROM HER LEG FRACTURE)
