Haley was found as a stray and had obviously been on her own for quite some time.  She was horribly matted and covered with hundreds of fleas.  Haley weighs 7.6 pounds and the vet estimates her age at 5-1/2 years.  She has been spayed, had her teeth cleaned and been brought up to date on her vaccinations, tested negative for heartworms and started on preventative.  However, Haley has some health problems that will require a very special family.  She has the beginnings of cataracts on both eyes even though she is really not old enough for this problem, according to the vet.  She has fairly severe luxating patellas on both sides, a problem not terribly rare in small dogs.  We are looking for a family for Haley who is either financially able and willing to see her through surgeries to correct her problems (assuming a vet thinks it appropriate) OR who is willing to manage her conditions with understanding and medication on a vet’s advice.  Her adoption donation will be negotiated or waived based on the circumstances. 

Haley is a little skittish around other dogs, leading us to believe she might have been hurt by another dog.  She would probably do best as an "only dog" and will definitely not be placed in a home with one much larger than her or one that is very active.  She will need a quiet, adult only home without a great deal of activity in order to feel safe.  On the plus side, Haley is a friendly little dog and likes stuffed toys.  She is marvelously well housetrained and will go outside or use pads if you prefer.  Haley is being fostered in Birmingham , Alabama .  We do approve out of state adoptions, but only if the adopter is willing to drive to the foster home to "fetch" the new family member.  We do not ship or transport our dogs.  If you are interested in adopting this sweet baby, please email info@amyzark.org for an application.
