Spotacus

A lovely dog was dumped in our neighborhood a few weeks ago. Reticent at first, she soon learned the neighborhood was full of friendly people and dogs. And she got treats.

Spotacus, as she is now known, soon became excited to see us, rolled on her back for pets and followed us down to the lake when we walked our dogs. One day she followed us all the way back to our house.

After three weeks of this I decided she needed to be rescued so she could have a home of her own. While everyone here thinks she's just great, no one is really in a position to adopt her.

Last week we took her to the Animal Shelter. There was concern that she may have mange, but the vet said no, it's just ear mites and fleas. She was quickly given ear drops, a de-worming pill, a shot and sprayed for fleas. She's definitely in good hands.

We've been back three times so far to walk Spotacus. I discovered that she is not only sweet but very smart. She learned to walk on a leash very quickly.

The vet says that Spotacus is 10 months old and is a Pointer/Setter/Border Collie mix.

She can be adopted here.
