Meet Nascar, the 2-year-old, 12-pound pup who's got a name as speedy as her glorious spirit! 🏎️✨ But don't let her petite frame fool you, darling—this little girl is a fighter! Having already triumphed over challenges that would make anyone's heart race, Nascar's journey to recovery has been a testament to her strength and resilience. When she first arrived, she was a mess: severely emaciated, covered in ticks, and battling painful eye conditions. But thanks to her superhero medical team, Nascar is now tick-free, gaining weight like a champ, and receiving the much-needed treatment for dry eye and a healing corneal ulcer. 🍽️ She’s even wolfing down her meals with gusto, proving every single day just how tough she truly is! But let's talk emotions for a moment! This sweet girl is still on a journey. She's quite under-socialized and understandably fearful, especially when it comes to leashes and new faces in her world. 😢 Right now, she can show a bit of defensiveness when scared—think growling, snapping, or even trying to pull a disappearing act. But the beauty of it is, there's a glimmer of hope! 🌈 She’s incredibly food-motivated and has already taken baby steps forward. Can you believe she’s learned to take treats gently from our hands? That’s a win in her book! Nascar also finds comfort in the company of other dogs, so a home with a furry friend could be just what she needs to show her that humans and this big ol' world aren’t so scary after all! 💕 We know the road ahead won’t be a walk in the park, but oh—the rewards of patience, structure, and tons of love (and tasty treats!) will be nothing short of magnificent. This little fighter has the potential to not just survive but thrive! So, if you’re ready to open your heart and home to an extraordinary girl, apply to adopt Nascar through the Buddy App today! 🌟
