Meet Waffles, the brave little warrior who has triumphed over adversity! 🎉 This lovely lady landed at the Arizona Humane Society after being found roaming as a stray, showcasing strength and resilience that can only inspire. It was apparent that there was something not quite right with her hind limbs; a thorough examination revealed severe patellar luxations that were making her life quite difficult, causing her painful, hunched walks. Though the AHS faced a tough decision regarding her surgery, they knew that this delightful soul needed a miracle, and boy, did she ever receive one! Thanks to a compassionate foster family, this petite, three-year-old girl got a chance she truly deserved! Waffles’s past came with more challenges than most could bear, including the discovery of two BB pellets nestled near her spine. Yet, through it all, she has remained the picture of sweetness and friendliness. 🌟 With just a sprinkle of patience and time, she warms up to new people, blossoming with affection as she does. Entering foster care in August led to her having corrective knee surgeries in September. Now, although recovery put her through the wringer, she’s doing better than ever, strutting around with newfound grace! With her sparkling personality fully on display, Waffles is a happy, playful, high-energy girl who loves being part of the action! 🎾 She plays well with other large dogs and, once she gets to know you, is incredibly affectionate. But beware! Like most young pups, she has a mischievous streak and cannot resist counter surfing if left unchecked! Plus, she does experience some separation anxiety, so a home that provides structure and enrichment will work wonders for this vibrant gal. Now that Waffles is ready to explore the great outdoors, she’s excited to discover the world—one paw at a time! 🌏 Waffles is like the perfect recipe for a great home; adaptable, loving, and ready for adventure! She'd do splendidly in a variety of households, whether it’s a bustling family with children aged three and up or a peaceful home with older guardians. A canine buddy to romp around with would definitely add to her happiness. And fear not—this delightful girl is here to serve up an abundance of unconditional love in her forever home—no syrup required! 💖 Don’t miss the chance to make Waffles part of your life! **Apply to adopt her through the Buddy App today!**
