(Sept. 30, 2020) — Adriana is looking for her forever home!
Adriana came into the rescue in May from a local animal control. She had come in roaming, and when Furry Friends met her, they knew that they weren’t leaving without her.
When they first met her, Adriana was so thin you could see her ribs. She had a pot belly that was worrisome. And she was as sweet as sweet could be.
At their vet, it became clear that the only reason her belly was distended was because she had overeaten – by quite a bit! She also was diagnosed with a severe infection in her genital area. Because it can be dangerous for an emaciated dog to ingest too much food too quickly, and because of the infection, Adriana needed to stay at their vet for about a week. And, when one foster home fell through at the last minute (they decided they didn’t want the breed) she ended up staying there for quite a while longer.
Thankfully, Andrea Goldstein and James Anouna stepped up to foster Adriana.
Out of the kennel – finally! – she relaxed and settled in happily to her foster home. As she relaxed, her true personality emerged. As well as being an absolute sweetheart, as she grew more relaxed and healthier (she began gaining weight and, finally, ended up having to lose some!) her playful, happy side began to show itself more and more.
As soon as she gained enough weight for it to be safe to do so she was spayed.
Now, fully recovered from the spay, she is finally ready to find a fantastic forever home.
So … who is Adriana? She is a Boston terrier/bully breed mix, about 4 years old.
She absolutely loves people.
Although she was reactive to other dogs when she was in boarding, she has been able more recently to be near other dogs without reacting. Still, we feel she will do best in a home as an only pet.
She would be happy to live with respectful children.
Adriana would love a family where someone is home at least part of the time – however she will be fine living with a family that works regular hours.
A fenced yard would be wonderful for her but is not a requirement.
Adriana loves going on walks and adventures, but is also happy to cuddle up and watch TV with you.
She will make an absolutely terrific family member!
