Meet Peaches- our newest SSMR rescue Mastiff., who was just
rescued from an animal shelter. You can still see the
suffering in her eyes in the last
photo which was taken when she was brought into SSMR foster
care- though she is safe now and life has been so much
better for Peaches since that day!
Good
food, lots of love will undoubtedly transform her into
a very beautiful Mastiff in no time. Peaches' large frame is
completely emaciated at 115 pounds. Note: Peaches has already gone from 115
lbs to 125 lbs in only a week of foster care! She is really
blossoming with good food and love. Her hip bones and ribs
jut out-
sadly it appears that Peaches has become used to living with
the gnawing pains of hunger for some time now. You can see
by the shaved areas that she has had her spay surgery
recently- and is recovering from the surgery. She is tired
and rests a lot- likes to steal the foster family's
pomeranian's bed for some reason! She thinks she is a little
lap dog!
In spite of how people have treated her- Peaches
greets everyone like an old friend! She has been very sweet
with the foster family's other dogs. So far she is showing
classic Mastiff temperament. Peaches loves all people, dogs,
cats and children and so far has been a very
low-maintenance and laid back Mastiff. The vet estimated her to be no older than 5 yrs of age.
She has been brought up to date on vaccinations, is
heartworm negative and is now at a safe haven finally- a
caring SSMR foster home.
The vet who examined her says that has some mild arthritis
and thought he picked up a heart murmur when he listened to
her chest. With the quality care she is now receiving, the
vet says that her heart should not be a problem to her
health.
Updates will be posted Peaches when she has been
with her foster family longer.
