Louise - Adopted

Name: Louise (Weezie)
Breed: Poodle
Sex: Female (unknown if altered)
Age: Senior
Location: Between Nashville and Knoxville, TN

Vet Info: Louise's (Weezie) spay status is not known, and her caretaker notes, "It does not look as if she has had any puppies in the past so she could be".  Weezie has not had a recent heartworm test.  She has bilateral cataracts (completely blind) and peridontal disease, but otherwise seems healthy for an older girl!  She is not up to date on vaccines, and her current caretaker and vet agreed to take a wait and see approach before vaccinating her.  She is currently being treated for ear infections.  Weezie weighs 9 pounds.

Owner Info: Weezie's and Thelma's owner passed away and a relative brought them to a local shelter.  Their caretaker saw them scared and shivering in the shelter, knew they wouldn't make it, and pulled them both.  She is now hoping for rescue placement for both as she has several dogs and is unable to keep them.  Weezie is a very sweet little girl!  When she was pulled from the shelter, she was severely matted, but her caretaker has had her groomed.  She is an indoor dog with run of the house, she is housebroken and leash trained.  She is good with both men and women, although due to her age and size, she may do better in a home without younger children.  She is also great with other dogs and cats!  She is not possessive of toys, treats, or food, and has never shown any aggression.  Her caretaker says, "Personality is also excellent. Very friendly, happy and lovable girl, gets along with other dogs and cats and also does not bark. Neither dog demands anything of you. They seem so happy to have a warm dry bed and some food." This is what their caretaker said when I asked about placing them together:  "Placing them together would surely be preferred. They seem bonded but only as far as being familiar. I can imagine being blind that it helps to have a familiar friend in strange surroundings. But they do not appear to be so bonded to the point that I feel they would not adjust if separated. I watched as the two began playing last evening and it was right comical to see two old blind lady's trying to find each other for a wrestle on there bed lol. I think they enjoyed there spa day backed up with a good meal and a warm bed. The groomer said they were both absolute dolls and gave not one ounce of grief with their grooming and all day stay. She said they were very cooperative and quiet but I knew that already :)"
