Description
Sadly Daina's family turned her into a shelter as she was experiencing digestive issues and weight loss. Such a friendly, loving and sweet girl, she did not deserve to be abandoned especially in her time of need. Now that Daina is with us she is receiving the care she needs and deserves. She has been seen by our vet and is undergoing testing to determine why she is so emaciated. She is receiving high quality nutrition and supplements and extra meals. Daina deserves to know the love of a real family, one that will care for her no matter what. Please consider Daina when looking for your next BFF.
Updates
Daina's test results revealed that she has EPI, Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency. This is caused when the pancreas does not produce enough enzymes to properly digest food. This is very easily treated by adding enzymes to each meal which helps the body digest food. More information can be found at epi4dogs.com along with before and after pictures of dogs that have EPI.
Daina is now receiving the enzymes she needs and will begin to gain weight. Please do not let EPI deter you from considering Daina, she deserves a family to love and care for her and in return she will give you her devotion.
,Daina is doing so very well in her foster home and is definitely stronger and putting on weight now that she has the enzymes she needs for her food. Daina is a smart, playful, active, curious and fun girl. Her playful personality is really emerging now that she feels better. Daina loves to play tug and will also retrieve a ball thrown for her and will sit immediately when waiting for it to be thrown again. She is friendly but alert and will alert her foster mom when she hears unexpected noises, but Daina is a pretty quiet dog in general. Daina is very well behaved and housebroken. She is learning obedience commands and leash manners and takes easy corrections well - some training will help quickly teach her the skills she needs to be a good canine citizen. Daina is just a wonderful, sweet, playful young girl waiting to make some family very happy!
,Hi - I’m Daina! I’m a little over 1 year old, past the puppy days but so full of fun! I sit, walk well on a leash, play with other dogs and kids very nicely, love my crate, and am a really happy dog. I do have one easily managed issue: I need to have enzymes sprinkled on all my food 20 minutes before I eat, to help me digest it and stay healthy. It’s called EPI, or exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, (which you can look up online very easily), but other than that, I’m a normal, happy, fun young girl looking for my forever home. I’ve met other dogs, horses, and kids here on my foster’s farm, and I’m friendly but alert. I don’t bark much at all, unless I hear something that just doesn’t sound right - then I’ll let you know. I like to play ball and tug, and go for walks anywhere you want to take me! Please consider me when you are looking for a dog you can love forever - I’m kind of a sweetheart!
