Hannah (and several other dogs, including Honey) were surrendered to Hamilton Animal Services when their owner became homeless.
When they first arrived, the dogs were in rough shape. They had fleas and other various issues. Hannah gave birth in the shelter, but her puppies were not fully formed and they unfortunately didn’t make it.
Before Hannah’s scheduled rescue day, the shelter contacted us to let us know that Hannah wasn’t doing well. She was lethargic, vomiting, and not wanting to get up or leave her bed to go outside, which was very unusual. Because there is no full time vet at HAS, we had Hannah sent from the shelter straight to Glanbrook Animal Hospital where they welcomed her emergency situation with open arms. (Thank you Glanbrook!)
Multiple tests were done, and the vet put Hannah on medication to bring down her fever. Though there wasn’t a definitive answer as to her illness/infection, it was likely a combination of losing her puppies, the stress of being in the shelter and her spay surgery.
Hannah stayed at the clinic for a few days, and when she was feeling better she was transferred to her foster home. She did great there, but had a little set back in her journey when she had a fall and broke her leg. She’s all healed now and ready to find her forever home!
Here’s a note from Hannah’s foster home:
“Hannah is extremely affectionate, and loves cuddles. She loves to run and be active and can comfortably walk/hike for hours. Hannah is on a strict prescription organic diet, so you need to be mindful about leaving easy to reach human food as she is very curious and intelligent and quick to try and eat anything left out.
Hannah does well with female dogs, but can get a little territorial around male dogs, though not aggressive. She does not seem to mind cats.
Children and adults need to be respectful of her personal space and let her warm up to you, as she can get spooked easily.
Hannah loves mental stimulation like learning tricks and playing games, and like many dogs if she becomes bored, will result to chewing things like shoes and clothing, or getting into the trash.
Hannah gets extremely nervous around vehicles and busy streets and needs extra attention walking near lots of traffic. When in the car, care needs to be taken to make sure no windows are down for her to escape through.”
