Deepali needed a miracle, a mama dog on a border town in south Texas - she was skinny with skin infections, heartworms and a bouncy twitch to her walk. Once in Houston, she learned her foster home routine quickly and enjoys snuggling into a donut dog bed in her crate along with a big bucket for nibbling on kibble when she wants. Deepali resource guards food and has a fierce growl over food but is only 42 lbs and panics if dogs challenger her. { She's all bark, no Fight } Based on history of the region, X-Rays and observed coordination - Our team and Vet partners suspect; she is a survivor of distemper. A virus that leaves dogs with permanent nervous system damage if they survive. We did X-Rays to rule out wobblers and traumatic injury. Deepali has full use of her head, neck, front limbs - her back feet 'dance' even when she is standing still. She is unbothered by her twitches and RUNS when she needs to be first in line for a treat or to go see her dog friends. Deepali loves human attention and petting. She could easily be an only dog in a small space - going on leashed walks for exercise. Guessed to be between 4-6 years old. Mature but not showing signs of aging. Current weight 42 lbs. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines and on prevention (treated and now negative for heartworms). Housetrained, crate trained and part of a suburban foster home with other dogs. Deepali does NOT have any special needs* Intake Video: https://youtube.com/shorts/iajmW_gNjrs?si=5-dp93lDnMEzye3h FOSTERED IN TEXAS. *Adoption Fee ($400.00) includes transport options to PNW (WA, UT, ID), Midwest (MN, WI, MI, OH, IL, IN) or select New England States (NY-NJ-CT-VA-VT) by pet transport partners.
