Meet Sponge

About Sponge She's come a long way, baby! Talk about a transformation! Let us introduce you to the new, healthy, improved Sponge! For those of you who follow our animals, you may remember Sponge (picture two), who came into UPAWS as a stray in October. To say she was in a bad state is an understatement! Her face was swollen and infected; she had ear infections and hematomas. She had wounds and deep bites on her face. A puncture inside her had air under it, so she crackled, plus she was emaciated. This gal was defeated mentally and physically and in need, desperately, of help! On top of it, our vet had no idea if she had a rabies vaccine, being a stray. Her bites most likely came from a wild animal. So, per protocol, she was placed on a 4-month rabies hold. During those four months, our caring staff and vets tended to her physical needs and, as they healed, her mental needs to keep her mind working and happy. Our team gives her plenty of TLC! She has learned basics like sit, stay, leave it, drop it, come, go to your spot, and shake. SMART GIRL!! She loves her time in the plays pens, where she runs at high speed and gets her Ya-Ya's out! Sponge loves frozen kongs and walks on the hiking trails. She loves her toys (the more, the merrier). Plus, Sponge is super clean in her kennel. It's been a long 4-months, and now our beautiful girl is finally ready for adoption! And she is so looking forward to meeting you! Look at her bright-eyed, sweet face, and her head held up high. She's a trooper, and we all love her to the moon and back! Sign up for a Meet & Greet appointment today, then head out to UPAWS to meet our girl Sponge.
