DALMATIAN

 Foster dog "Jolene"  will be arriving at my house soon.

Here is what her owner has to say about her; I will add more as I get to know her:

Jolene is a personable four-year-old who loves cuddling, playing in the house and staying close by the people she knows. Her favorite part of the day is greeting the people she knows - which she does without jumping! She has very nice house manners, is happy to sleep in on a lazy weekend and gets along well with cats inside the house - she evens lets them clean her! Though she is fiercely loyal to people she sees every day, she does best with a familiar set of faces and a constant routine each day. Loves to be outside if it is a space she knows and doesn't have strangers in it! Up-to-date on all her shots, and is on monthly heartworm medication. 

UPDATE 8/21:

Jolene has been here since 8/11.  Bloodwork has shown that Jolene is diabetic! (all of her other organ function was right on target though). She also came to me with a mild skin infection and mild urinary tract infection. She has been put on antibiotics for the infections and has started twice daily insulin injections (Vetsulin brand). Her blood sugar will be retested in about a week to see if her initial insulin dosage is correct for her.

 She does not like dogs trying to mount her (she will snap at them) but has not shown any true dog aggression.  I have had 8 dogs in my home this week and not one dog fight, not even over food!

 She is very shy around new people but has not tried to bite anyone, not even the vet or technicians poking, prodding & needle sticking her.She will take a treat from anyone who offers.

Only one of my cats will venture downstairs; she has shown no interest in him, nor in the birds or reptiles.

 She is very good in the house, rides great in the car, and walks nicely on a leash.

Anyone looking for pretty dog who is calm, quiet and well-mannered should consider Jolene. She will need more veterinary care than other dogs, but canine diabetes can usually be managed very well with consistent meals, simple subcutaneous injections, and regular veterinary visits. There is no reason to believe that Jolene can't live a normal, happy life with a full lifespan!

black mama cat

Mama was found as a stray, and her finder has been fostering her and her kittens; there were 3, but all have now found new homes, leaving just Mama. Mama has been spayed and vaccinated and is a very sweet and affectionate kitty estimated by the vet to about 2 years old.  Sorry, I don't have pictures, but if you stop by Arnold Pet Station, there is a flier with photos. Interested persons can email me & I will get you contact information.
