Candee

Candee was adopted by Susan and Luigi from Pittsburgh Pa. They drove to meet Candee in Milton, De. They were familiar with the area and stayed at a local hotel. They had dinner on arrival Monday evening and visited and met Candee so they could see Candee's evening insulin preparation and injection. Candee was able to briefly meet them and give some cuddles. Susan had tears in her eyes when the left but knew she would be back in the morning to complete the adoption. Candee has come a long way from a very thin, weak newly diagnosed diabetic. Her sweet and loving personality were always present. Lynda Caridy was her foster to begin with but had plans and needed to have someone continue with managing her diabetes. That's when Candee came to me. She learned to potty outside and pads at night. We learned she loves people more than anything, she has joy in being outside and exploring with her person. As soon as the diabetes was controlled Candee had her surgery for a dental cleaning with several extractions, her microchip was placed and because she was diabetic her dewclaws were removed this way there will be no infections if one was torn during grooming or play. When the cone came off we went to the groomers. The Veterinarian, staff, groomers and everyone who met Candee wanted to adopt her. I am so grateful to the volunteers who do the home visits, call the Veterinarian s and phone interviews! Candee went to the perfect home! Susan told me she hasn't stopped smiling. At some point Susan spoke to Donna about Candee. We all knew the fit was perfect. Susan told me she couldn't meet Candee fast enough. She said having a diabetic dog in the past made the decision easy. Susan wanted a sweet companion, to be at her side Susan and Luigi text me daily to ask questions and to share happy moments. They are a perfect match! Congratulations Candee!
