Hi my name is Phoebe
Phoebe came to us from a puppymill. The miller took her into the vet
because she was a week overdue with pups. The vet did an ultrasound, learned the pups were
probably all dead and scheduled an emergency spay and removal of the pups. The pups were
deformed and not alive. That was kind of a lucky thing for Phoebe since the miller
agreed to give her up to rescue because we offered to pay for all her surgery costs, he just wanted her
euthanized since she wasn't a good producer. She was in horrible condition, it was no wonder
she couldn't support puppies. I have never seen a skinnier dog, she had an awful skin
infection which made her hair very oily. She also had all kinds of worms, eye infection and a
horrible bladder infection. We found out that she has a crooked spine and elbow dysplasia which may cause her problems
in the future. She also still has a recurrent urinary tract problem and may always have
them. These are all ailments that she would pass along to any progeny. Phoebe has since found a
wonderful home where she keeps her owners on their toes and in stitches with her crazy
antics, a true Boston Terrier.
