Age: Young Gender: Spayed Female Color: Liver/White Weight: 40 lbs Variety: Bench/Show Bred 11/04/06: It's our pleasure to announce that Ervin & Deborah have adopted Tulip. Best wishes and a big Thank you from ESRA! 5/02/06: Tulip is not the dog I brought home two and a half weeks ago. She was officially discharged from vet care yesterday. Her Sarcoptic Mange is gone and peach fuzz is clearly evident. Her Yeast Infection is gone and she no longer smells or feels greasy. Her worms are gone. We now have a puppy on our hands! Tulip has a delightful personality, but many habits that come with being a stray. She is doing extremely well with her potty training - no accidents for the past 2 weeks, and she now goes to the door and sits until you notice her. When she realizes you are noticing, she will get up and go to her leash which I have hanging on the door knob. She loves people affection, but in her excitement she playfully takes your hand in her mouth. Like so many puppies, she is a chewer. We have purchased numerous chew toys which she loves, however, she also still loves a good piece of sofa or carpet or quilt or shoes, etc. She has tremendous energy and prefers to be outside all the time. She likes all other dogs - runs right up to them, tail wagging and wanting to play. She has never met a dog she didn't like. She likes other animals as well. She has made friends with the resident pet pig, Elvis, at my vets office. Bottom line - she is now healthy, but still needs to put on about 10 lbs. She will be needing a home where she will have access to the outside. She will require a tall fence. I saw her jump a 4 foot fence like it was nothing. She would love a home with young, energetic, active people-- but probably not young children-- and other dogs that want to play. This family needs to understand, she is a puppy full of puppy behaviors, and will require training to become a house pet. She is loaded with potential. She is happy and wants to please, but has never been taught any manners. She is also beautiful now that we can see a healthier Tulip.
