Helen - In Foster Care

Name: Helen

Sex: Female (spay not verified although owner believes she is spayed)

Age: 9+ years

Breed: Schnauzer/Poodle

Location: Louisville, KY

  

Vet Info: Helen weighs 30 pounds.  It is unknown if Helen is up to date on vaccines but if Helen has rescue/adoption, her owner will have her vaccinated.  It is unknown if Helen is spayed. 

Owner Info: Helen's caregiver took Helen from a local shelter when she took 4 other dogs, as Helen would have been pts. The other 4 have been placed with local rescues. Helen is still in need of a rescue/adopter or foster home. Helen has limited vision and is 90% deaf...She can see about 15 ft. in front of her in strong daylight but after that, it's questionable. She is about 30lbs and 9 + years old. Somebody had her shaved approximately 8 to 10 weeks ago, but Helen's caregiver has searched the local paper and contacted groomers in the area where Helen was picked up, with no luck.  Helen is an outdoor dog with a fenced yard, she is housebroken and leash trained.  She also has access to her caregiver's garage.  Her caregiver's other dogs are too fast for her, and one of bigger dogs doesn't like Helen.  Helen has never bitten or snapped, and has never shown any aggression.  Her caregiver notes that sudden movements close to her face startle her.  Her teeth are dirty BUT not rotting or absessed.  She believes Helen's eye issues are from cataracts.
