The current blood results for her kidneys are showing abnormalities but we are hoping that the monthly shot will reverse these issues.Housebroken: They are let out regularly every 2-3 hours but if this is not always an option they are fully pee pad trained.

Dotty and Daisy are a gorgeous bonded pair consisting of mother and daughter. Dotty is the mother and Daisy is her darling daughter. They are deeply bonded and love each other very much as they have spent their lives together, so we are looking for a home that will adopt both of them and keep these two together. Both these girls love their walks and they would gladly sell their souls for some chicken. These two sweethearts love people and are super affectionate. They are always belly up ready for more belly rubs. They also love sleeping with their fosters and cuddling up with them. This adorable duo will make two very wonderful companions to their adopters. Dotty, the mother, has a mild and sweet demeanour. She is the perfect lap buddy and likes to follow Daisy’s lead. Daisy, the daughter, is a playful pup with a vibrant personality. She loves snuggling and will attack you with kisses. She can also be the more independent of the two. Dotty is a food connoisseur (a.k.a picky eater) and loves fresh protein (though not eggs!) and in true picky eater fashion, she does not like veggies. Daisy is definitely a big foodie. At mealtimes, she is interested in Dotty’s bowl after finishing her own, so their adopters must keep an eye on her at feeding time so Dotty gets all her meal. Previously they were free feeders but are now getting used to their scheduled mealtimes. Daisy is a real chowhound and has previously counter surfed on one occasion when her fosters were not home. This duo’s adopters should make sure to keep all food out of reach and stored securely, especially when they are not home. The girls’ forever home should also be puppy-proofed throughout for when they are left alone. Both girls are mostly housebroken though they also need the support of pee pads. Dotty needs access to pee pads as her Prednisone makes her drink lots of water and in turn she has to pee often, so sometimes accidents do happen. If kept to a routine where they are let out first thing in the morning and then regularly every 2-3 hours when someone is home they seem to do well. They also need to be let out right after naps. Daisy will sometimes have accidents off the pee pads due to separation anxiety. Their lovely fosters have started introducing them to enrichment, though so far they have not been interested in toys if food is not involved. They do love sniffing in the yard though! These two besties play very well together and enjoy regular playtime in the backyard. If they were given the opportunity, they would happily play together in the yard 24/7 - we’re not kidding! They are both working on their recall while out in the yard and can be lured by treats depending on their mood. Their fosters have been working on this and Dotty has begun responding to coming inside if followed up. Daisy is more playful and will intermittently come inside when followed up with. She enjoys playing hard to get when it’s time to go inside. Since these girls love their time in the yard so much, we are looking for a forever home that will give them their very own securely fenced backyard to play in to their heart’s content. This gorgeous duo would do best as the only pets in their forever home. Daisy and Dotty have both been fine with other dogs inside the house with proper introductions and supervision for shorter periods though. Daisy is playful and curious while Dotty may be a little protective at first but has shown improvement with time. She needs assurance that friends of all sizes are okay! Daisy has shown some reactivity towards other dogs on walks. She can bark and lunge when she sees another pup out and will also bark when she hears another dog barking. Her fosters have found that distraction has worked well for addressing Daisy’s reactivity. Daisy and her adopters could also benefit from working with a professional positive-reinforcement based trainer to set them up on the right foot for dealing with her reactivity. This beautiful mother and daughter pair will surely brighten up each and every day for their future adopters with their sweet personalities and adorable antics. They are lovely companions both to each other and the people in their lives. If you are ready to bring oh so much love into your life with this darling duo, please fill out a Canine Adoption Application on our website at: covetedcanines.org/applicationAdoption processCoveted Canines and Creatures Rescue has a rigorous, tiered, application process to ensure that each pet is matched with the home that best meets its needs. 1. If you see a pet that you are interested in adopting, please submit an adoption application on our website. We have 2 separate adoption applications - a Canine Application for our adoptable dogs and a Creatures Application for our adoptable pets of other species (such as cats, rabbits, small domestics.) 2. Once Coveted Canines and Creatures receives your application and reviews it to be an appropriate match for the pet you are interested in, a member of the Adoption Team will be in touch with you via e-mail to review your application and answer any questions you may have about the process or the animal - remember to check your spam/junk folders for a response from our team. Please allow 48 hours for us to respond to your application. Being an entirely volunteer-run organization, we are only able to respond to those applicants selected to proceed. We only process a maximum of 3 applications per pet simultaneously. 3. Our adoption process requires a home visit and 3 completed personal references (plus a vet reference if you have had previous or current pets) prior to adoption. We will also set up a meet and greet between you and the pet during your application process. Adoption events are a great place to meet our dogs (and the CCCR team)! 4. If you are the successful applicant you will be notified by our Adoption Team via email and you will be connected with the foster parent to take home your new family member. The adoption contract, medical waiver and adoption fee must be paid/completed before your new family member is picked up. 5. If you are not the successful applicant but are pre-approved to adopt from us you will be notified by our Adoption Team via email and encouraged to continue to look on our social media feeds (www.facebook.com/covetedcanines and @covetedcanines on Instagram) for the next pet that interests you. You will already have completed a home visit and references so your application will be ready to go for the next one.Please note that being pre-approved does not mean you'll automatically get to adopt the next animal that interests you. Pre-approved means we recognize you’d be a good pet guardian, however we need to ensure that the animal is the right fit for you and your family. Please note: we do not call applicants to discuss why they did not get chosen for a particular pet.
