About Biscuit

Biscuit came into local animal control in March 2026, struggling with an entropion in her right eye—an eyelid issue that makes eyelashes turn inward, causing chronic pain. She moved to rescue care in early April where she had corrective eye surgery and was spayed the same day. Although still new to rescue life, Biscuit has shown herself to be gentle, easy-going, and other dog friendly. It’s impressive how sweet and trusting she remains after everything. She’s estimated to be about 6 or 7 months old, fully vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative, and now finally comfortable after her eye operation. Biscuit is eager for a new home where she can just be a happy, healthy young dog. She gets along with cats, other dogs, and children. Now all she needs is a chance.
