Puftaloon! Since the day this little chonky girl arrived into care at Life of Pikelet rescue people from around the world have admired her model good looks and baby blue eyes.
BEFORE you read Puftaloon’s adoption criteria it is extremely important that potential adopters give great thought and communicate in their adoption application as to what their home set up and routine plan is for the first few weeks/months if they are the successful adopter of this most precious pupper. Puftaloon cannot be settled in over just a weekend and then left on a Monday home alone while you return to work… There needs to be a plan outlined so that her foster family can feel assured she is going to be set up for success in her new home.
ADOPTION CRITERIA
Deal breakers:
– Puftaloon’s new family must be committed to ongoing training to ensure she grows to be the best doggo she can be.
– Caring for Puftaloon’s incontinence will be a lifelong task for her new family, washable nappies and daily baths.
– Daily walks and outings are a must, a girl must keep up with the neighbourhood news.
– A specific balanced, healthy diet is very important for Puftaloon to ensure her digestive health.
– Puftaloon must be truly part of the family and that means access inside as she pleases.
Non deal breakers:
– Puftaloon has grown up with many foster siblings and is used to their constant companionship so a home with a friend or 2 is preferred.
HEALTH
– Puftaloon has a spinal abnormality called Spina Bifida which is why she can’t regulate her bladder and bowel on her own. Puftaloon will need a forever family that understands and is capable of changing doggo nappies and happy to give her a regular daily bath. Like many bulldogs, skin issues and allergies have been a minor issue for Puftaloon. However she is now on a great balanced diet that keeps this at bay. After an adoption trial and the change over from her balanced raw diet mixed with a high quality kibble was changed to just kibble, Puftaloon had quite the runny bottom. When this happens with spina bifida pups it can usually cause the anus to prolapse. This is exactly what has happened now with Puftaloon. It’s very possible that she may need surgery for her prolapsed anus, as soon as she comes back into our care we will have her assessed with our vets for possible surgery.
