Story
Name: Delilah
Breeds: Border Collie Mix
Age: Young Adult
Gender: Female
Meet Delilah. Delilah is a special girl who has had a rough start to life. When she arrived in rescue she was a tiny, sickly little pup who fought hard to survive. Thankfully, she fought hard, and she quickly became a happy, healthy, normal pup. As she aged, it was apparent something else was going on with her. Delilah has what is called Congenital Kidney Displaysia. This means one of her kidneys is about 1/2 the size of the other, along with some other abnormalities. As a result, Delilah has increased thirst and urination. Unfortunately, there is no way to truly know what the future holds for her. We cannot predict her lifespan or how long her kidneys will continue to function at the rate they do now. Managing the symptoms by not restricting water, and frequent trips outside are what she needs. Currently by doing these things she lives a normal life. Because of all this, Delilah needs a home where her people are home often. As long as she gets out every couple of hours during waking hours, she does relatively well. Despite all of this, Delilah is a normal, happy, energetic puppy who loves to play. She is fostered with other dogs, kids, and cats (though she will chase them if they run). Delilah is an incredibly sweet girl who loves attention, loves to cuddle, and loves to wrestle. Her ideal home is one that can provide her with a lot of attention, a lot of exercise, and has someone home with her more often than not, so that she can get out potty often. She currently is able to make it through the night in her kennel. Unfortunately, she would not do well in an apartment as she will bark if she hears people talking, but cannot see them.
