Jessica Sable and White Rough Female 11 months Adopted!

Jessica is a 11 month old sable and white rough coated Collie / Sheltie mix pup. She came to us from a shelter. She is all puppy, full energy and loves to play -- play -- play. This girl is also all personality, which is amazing considering her condition when she was picked up. She had to have a lymph node removed, Kennel Cough, and her hips, well they were just lopsided. Once she had x-rays, it was obvious she had been in a car accident, or something equally traumatic. Yet in spite of this, she ran and played like any puppy would. If her hips were not crooked, you would have never known. In reviewing the injuries, it was decided that her right leg was causing her pain. The great Dr Schlapp removed the Femoral Head in her right leg, which is now allowing her to walk pain free. She still needs in home therapy, but it is easily done with every day activity. For example, when she goes for a walk, we sometimes find a hill to walk up and down, or side to side. When we work on her leash training, we do figure 8's. Even just going up and down the stairs is good activity for her. Jessica has been released from restricted activity and now attends Maddies Doggy Day Care in Huntley IL. She is having a blast playing all day with her new friends. She gets along with the small and large dogs.
