If you find that you cannot help at this time please share and pass her information on. Thank you. Read more about her below.

This is a 4 yr old female shih tzu. She does have a luxating patella and is blind. She is a very sweet girl that is terrified being in her kennel. We are not yet able to dog test her yet due to having parvo in the room last week and have to keep everyone in their cages until this Tuesday, May 29^th.

We are not sure if she is housebroken due to being on Parvo lockdown so she has been in her cage since she has gotten here. Since she came in as a stray, she does not have a name. She is super sweet with people and have not had shown any signs of aggression. We can dog test her and I can let you know what the status is. She is 13lbs. She also has a medical note listed below when she went to the vets and they discovered she was blind.

Complaint- Favors left leg-equilibrium problem- stumbles- cries out - brought straight off street

Diagnosis- Luxating patella on left knee. No discomfort on manipulation of limb. No menace OU PLR- weak on consult then immediately dialated os or will not follow objects. Blind.
