This is the most horrific case of animal neglect and abuse that I have seen in my eighteen years as Rescue Chair for the SFBWHWTC!  If anyone cared about any living creature, they would not have let her get into this condition!  Tiffany’s reason for surrender was that her owners could not afford the cost of her vet care. Tiffany was turned into our Rescue program from a family that had her from puppy hood but she came into rescue with nothing more than a collar, leash and a small baggie of kibble. I find it totally unacceptable that they didn’t call me sooner.

On the Medical and Personality Profile, her previous owners filled out, they did not indicate any favorite toys. At my house, she goes through the toy basket and picks out her favorites then carries them, pushes them with her nose and licks them. She will fetch them and return them to you. She has a bark like a walrus or a seal (pretty mighty for such a petite girl). I guess it’s that “Westitude” and not wanting to be ignored.

Tiffany, who will be 9 years old, has a skin condition, Malassezia, on the inside of her thigh http://www.westiemed.org/health/malassezia/.

She also has Dry Eye. She will require medication and treatment for her eyes for the rest of her life.  Read about caring for a dog with Dry Eye… http://www.sfbaywestieclub.com/dryeye.htm http://www.veterinaryvision.com/public_forum/DryEye.htm.

She is totally sweet and allows you to perform all procedures to her.

Tiffany will be in foster care and require extensive medical treatment and medication for some time. Until her skin clears up, she cannot be spayed. At that time her teeth will also be cleaned.

It is because of Westies like Tiffany that our Rescue program exists. It is because of people like you that we can continue to do so.

We are also looking for a Foster Care home for Tiffany. Foster care volunteers are not compensated for the time or energies they put into caring for our Westies but all medical and food expenses are reimbursed from our Rescue Fund. If you are interested in Tiffany, please contact me at Padiwak@msn.com.

Below is a list of Tiffany's medications and treatment for the next month:

We will keep you updated with Tiffany’s progress.

As always for the Love of Westies.

Thank You,
