Aggie - In BDRA Foster Care



Name: Aggie
Sex: Female (altered)
Age: 10 years
Breed: Boston Terrier
Location: Houston, TX

Vet Info: Aggie had a three year rabies on 9/14/11 along with a distemper shot. She is HW negative. She has been spayed. The vet did not have a diagnosis for her vision issues and recommended a visit to an ophthalmologist which, as far as this vet knows, has not been done. When last seen on 3/15/12, Aggie had three masses and mast cells were detected. The vet recommended immediate removal and, as far as the vet knows, this has not been done. Otherwise, Aggie is healthy (good heart, lungs, teeth). 

Owner Info: Aggie's owner is in a nursing home and won't be able to return to Aggie, so the owner's daughter is desperately looking for a new home for Aggie. Her dad had Aggie for five years. Aggie is a ten year old Boston Terrier who weighs about 30 pounds. She is an indoor dog who is house trained and leash trained, and knows the following commands: stay, sit, come. She is good with adults and with female dogs. As far as the daughter knows, Aggie has never snapped or bitten anyone. When asked about the tumors, the daughter said she recently followed up with the vet, and the vet said that removal is still recommended but it would be OK if they weren't removed. She also said that now that Aggie's eyesight has changed (they think it is glaucoma), she is more timid and sleeps a lot, although eats well and loves to be around people, and has a loving disposition. She would make a great companion for someone who is home a lot!
