Story
Adeline is a 1.5 year old beagle that has special needs. She was surrendered to us when she developed hind end paralysis. The vet does not believe Addy, as we call her, will recover fully from this, though she has shown some improved ability to stand infrequently since she came to us. Addy can defecate on her own, but needs her bladder expressed multiple times a day. We have a wheelchair for Addy that she enjoys using. With room to run, she can really move! Addy’s other challenge is that due to a painful skin issue, she developed some biting behaviors. We’re hopeful with her feeling better that these behaviors will go away, but we don’t feel comfortable sending her to a hime with children. Addy bonds hard with her people and will scoot around to reach them and do those excited beagle bays! She does well with other dogs and we believe she would do well with cats too. Adeline’s ideal home would be with someone who is retired or works from home; once you get a routine established, her care is really not that time consuming. Addy is also available for fostering if you would like to see if she’s a good fit for your household.
All of our animals are examined by a veterinarian, given age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, spayed or neutered, heartworm tested and treated if necessary.
Please realize that many of our animals are kept in foster homes. Please complete an adoption application at http://itvrescue.org/adoption-application/ in order to meet with one of our animals. There is no obligation in completing the application, but it helps us find an animal that is most appropriate for your family. The ITV Rescue Center is open Tuesdays 12-5; Wednesdays 12-7; Thursdays 12-5; Fridays 12-5 and Saturdays 10-5. The Rescue Center is located at 1417 N. Stockwell Road. You are welcome to come to our rescue center during open hours to see all of our great adoptable animals. Thank you for your interest in our animals!
NOTE: Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
