Please contact JoEllen (sagdinfo@aol.com) for more information about this pet.Please apply online at http://texasgreatdane.org/adoption-application/ ** This dog is in a foster home in San Antonio, TX. Prospective adopters must be able to travel to San Antonio to complete the adoption process. ** Caliope is a 2-year-old Basenji blend who weighs 13.2 pounds. She is a friendly girl and would make a delightful companion. Caliope was one of 270 dogs seized from a horrific hoarding case that made national news. The dogs were imprisoned in filthy crates in a hot warehouse where they suffered from extreme neglect, parasitic infestations, dehydration, and malnourishment. After receiving intensive veterinarian care to include a dental prophylaxis and a quality diet, Caliope is now a healthy girl! Since the dogs from this cruelty case experienced various degrees of trauma, adopters should be prepared to exercise patience as their new dog adjusts to a home environment. These dogs may initially present a high escape risk - adopters must utilize extreme caution when opening outside doors or traveling in a car. The dogs must never be left outside unattended. All the dogs from this cruelty case received a SNAP 4DX which tests for anaplasmosis, ehrlichia, heartworms, and lyme disease; however, there are multiple tick-borne diseases so please advise your veterinarian that your dog may have been exposed to ticks in the warehouse environment. You can read about the seizure here: https://time.com/5685811/texas-missouri-animal-rescue-operators-charged-cruelty/ Please understand you are commiting to providing a good home for her entire life (up to 15+ years or more.)
