Name: Mitzy
Sex: Female (altered)
Breed: Terrier Mix
Age: 8 years
Location: Utica, NY
Vet/Medical Info: Mitzy had her first lepto vaccine, distemper, bordatella and lyme vaccines 4/20/2011. She was tested for heartworm (negative) and stool sample was also negative. She is up to date on rabies until 12/10/2013. She is spayed, 8 years old, terrier mix, also has chronic ear problems (otitis externa). She was last seen in February 2010 for that.
Owner Info: Mitzy does not feel comfortable around small children. When she was rescued (she was found wandering the streets when 6-8 weeks old) her owner didn't have children, now that they do, she gets aggressive when children are active or loud. She has on three occassions charged/chased/snapped at children when they were running and playing. They try to remove her from the situation but when put her in her crate or left in a room, she gets very upset. If she was in a situation that was calm she would be fine. She is like a cat and likes to sit on your lap and be petted. Mitzy was born with a congenital eye defect most likely caused by a virus her mother had while pregnant. If you throw a ball to her, she will not see it and it will hit her. If she is outside on a bright day she can track a bird in the sky. It seems like she has some vision, but up close she really is limited. She is a little overweight. Mitzy is an indoor dog with the run of the house, she is housebroken and leash trained, she knows sit, lay down and stay. She is good with people, teenagers, other dogs and cats. Mitzy's owner loves her to bits and she used to be a perfect fit for her family. She would be a great dog for someone who is ill, she is very loving and devoted to her owners and has brought them much joy. The instances where she charges children have happened repeatedly and her owner is afraid she will bite someone. They don't want to put Mitzy in a position where she will fail.
