About Doll (Poodle) in Shermans Dale, PA 17090

Doll is waiting for you at Nirvana Animal Rescue in Shermans Dale, PA 17090. Age: 2 years Size: 38 lbs Estimated breed: Poodle mix Lives with: Older kids, dogs Doll is quite the survivor! She was surrendered to ACCT Philly when she suddenly lost the ability to walk. She went from a completely normal and mobile dog one day, to losing all feeling in her back end overnight. Instead of receiving love and support from her family, they called animal control and requested they come pick her up to euthanize. Fortunately, the shelter did not do that, and instead requested a rescue step in to try and save Doll's life. We immediately took her to a specialist vet for diagnostics - x-rays, bloodwork, MRI, neuro assessment. Surprisingly, everything came back clear, leaving us without answers on why she suddenly lost mobility. We decided to monitor her for a few months to see if her condition changed, and keep a close eye on her quality of life. We're happy to report that Doll has adjusted well to her new lifestyle, lives a joyful and full life, and is finally ready to begin her search for a special forever family! Doll is 2 years old and weighs 38 lbs. She is quite thin, but our vet believes this is due to muscle loss in her hind quarters. She doesn't have a huge appetite but eats as much high-quality food as we can get into her every day! Doll gets exercise by zooming in her custom wheelchair, which will go with her when she's adopted. She loves running around the yard and creek in her wheels! She also enjoys walks in her wheelchair or in her stroller when she's feeling lazy. Inside, she's able to scoot herself around the lower level of the home, and naps on orthopedic dog beds or even area rugs. She loves toys and will happily play with them on her own inside, too. Doll lives with several small dogs and is gentle and sweet with them. She's also met a cat and was non-reactive, so she could likely live with them, too! Doll lives with older children and is great with t
