Our lovely lady dog,
Daytona,
is back with us, after being adopted through DAWG five years ago! We
were greatly dismayed that her adopters no longer wished to include her
in their lives now that they have children and travel. We didn't see
that coming when we selected them and trusted them to take care of her
for her whole life.
Daytona is a perfect dog! Her manners are wonderful, and she is gentle
and funny, like a typical Doberman. Daytona could
have 1% of another breed in her, but Daytona is as "Dobie" as you can
get! That's a compliment, as Dobermans are known for being focused and a
whole lot more. Plus we saw Daytona do a few "dancy, prancy" steps in
the vet's lobby, so we think she is going to be "one of those" who can
pirouette and do little playbows on command. Daytona's a fun dog! But
for now, she is still trying to figure out where she is and what
happened to her.
The adopters didn't mention to us that Daytona has Addison's Disease,
which is an adrenal gland malfunction traditionally managed by a monthly
shot and one common medication. We know that will deter most people from
applying for Daytona, but we are hoping that a "perceptive someone" will
look past Daytona's medical situation. DAWG will cover medical expenses
related to her condition, if necessary, so that someone who doesn't have
the means to care for Daytona will still have the opportunity to invite
her into his/her life. It's the least we can do for this very special,
incredible dog.
