Rosie a Rescue Puppy in California
| Click on photos for full sized view. |
| This dear sweet little girl is the product of a bad breeder located in Courtland, CA. Fortunately she was rescued by some caring people before the "breeder" had her put to sleep because he was unable to sell her. This "breeder" sold the rest of the puppies on Craig's List for $500 each and changed his number after all puppies were sold. I am trying to help with the welfare of this puppy in finding her a home as well as gathering information that might be useful for her treatment and other breeders of the Dogue De Bordeaux. I have video of the puppy I can forward on to you if you are interested in her or her condition. She is currently being fed a RAW diet is not spayed and has not yet been vaccinated. Her right front leg is severely deformed, a portion of her paw is growing from her elbow. She will need to have the leg amputated at a later date, but for now she is building her strength up getting her "happy puppy" back in action in a loving environment. If you are aware of any DDB with a similar deformity or who has had a front leg amputated I would be most grateful if you could contact me so that we can put our heads together about what might be best for this girl. Some information has been gathered on the puppy and we are working on picking up more. There are no papers on these puppies unfortunately to attempt to track lineage. Dam is supposed to weigh 120# Sire 140# Rosie was 17lbs at 8/9 weeks old compared to a brother who is reported to be 24lbs. Generally females are within 5lbs of their mothers weight at maturity but due to her issues Rosie may be smaller than her mother when full grown. Hopefully she will be closer to 100lbs so it will be easier live on 3 legs :) She was born on either September 20th or the 25th, rescue was given both dates? She is currently with a foster in Sacramento, CA Her surgery will be expensive and the rescue has several other dogs to care for as well. If you have any helpful information, or could make a tax deductible donation for her care and future surgery or are interested in adopting this sweet darling, please contact me or the rescue directly.
