Oh, what a difference a little TLC can do!

PandaBear was a ‘street dog’ and (apparently) had been for quite some time.  When found by a Good Sam at the beginning of June, 2012, she looked like this:

Allergic to fleas, she had been left medically untreated for probably years.   Biting at the fleas on her itchy butt, little by little the healthy tissue stopped re-growing back.  PandaBear developed a condition commonly called “walrusing” --- the skin tissue builds up almost like a callus and loses blood flow, causing it to become like shoe leather and dark grey to black in color.  Around her eyes, PandaBear had lost most of her coat, including her eyelashes.

Two months later, with the proper vet care and a lot of TLC, her eyelashes are growing back in and her coat has taken on a thick luscious feel to it.  

PandaBear has now been spayed.  She’s no longer mistrustful of strangers and looks forward to cuddles and attention!  She has learned to walk well on a leash and is potty trained – preferring to go grass hands down!

Ms. PandaBear is now looking for her new forever home.  Are you the one?
