Meet Missy-Hospice Foster Needed

Meet Missy she was rescued from a high intake Texas shelter recently. She was scheduled to be euthanized. She is around 3 years of age. Unfortunately she is not available for adoption.  We are in need of a Hospice/Pallative care Foster. Missy has very severe hip dysplasia and osteoarthritis. Her knees are bone on bone. Inspite of her hip and knees.... she is a happy, loveable dog and she still gets around well. Surgery is not an option, her knees would also need surgery along with her hips. The pain she would incur with multiple surgeries done at different times was not recommended by our vet. The plan is to keep her on anti-inflammatories, pain meds, and Glucosamine and Chondroitin right now. We will be implementing a hip brace that has helped other dogs we rescued that had hip dysplasia.We are hoping we will be able to find a foster who can give her the loving care that she never ever had. A quiet home where she can take short walks, sun bathe in the back yard ( she loves that ) , lay on a cozy bed and cuddle with her foster. We are glad we rescued her so that she can experience love and care she has never had in her life. As long as she has a good quality of life we will not euthanize. It's hard to know when that time will come. It could be years or months from now. If you can not be her foster for her lifetime, that's okay. Please just give us time to find another. Missy is a sweet pittie that loves belly rubs. She is a couch potato. She is calm and well behaved. Housetrained. She gets along well with low key submissive dogs, however because of her condition we are looking for a home with no other animals. She can free roam without getting into things.We will provide all of her medications , food and anything else that she needs. You provide the love.She must have a fenced in yard, and would do best in a home where someone is home more. Although she is good with children, she must go to a home with older children. No other dogs in the home is preferred. We are located in Northwest Indiana and a foster home should be within a 1 hr drive.
