Update: Aliana Baton is healing from her hernia and eye enucleation
This little girl is so precious. Her incision is healing well and she is coming out of her puppymill “stupor” – you know, that vacant, lifeless look so often found in the eyes of a puppymill dog.
Now that she and her sister are running and playing in the daycare – still a tad shy of people, but getting along well. It’s interesting to watch a puppymill dog blossom – they start out terrified of all people. For the first month we had these kids, they were in one of the private boarding rooms (they had all kinds of worms so had to stay away from the other dogs). They hid behind the chair the entire time, hardly peeking around the edge to see who came into the room. So sad.
Slowly, they became curious about us and started coming out but couldn’t decide whether it was a good idea to stay out. They would flit back and forth behind the chair. Once their medical was done, we decided they needed a lot more exposure and put them into one of the playrooms. At first, they hid in a crate in the back, but now they come out to see what’s going on. They stand at the gate while we’re making the dinners and just wag their little tails.
They are also getting very playful now.
These sisters are going to make someone a wonderful pet. This is Annamarie in the front and Aliana behind. The little head just peeking in to the left of the picture is Flora and behind Aliana, walking out of sight is Connie.
But, Aliana still needs a tiny bit of funding for her huge hernia repair and eye enucleation.
Aliana Baton – $700 for the hernia repair, removal of her shrunken, damaged eye and her pyometria. So far, Aliana, the adorable, has $170 in her fund, but still needs $530.
