Meet Miley!  She is a slightly overweight, 2 year old girl, who has had an upheaval in her life.  She is now looking for a very special “forever” home.  Here is Miley’s story:

Life was perfectly normal for Miley, who was living with the same family since she was a tiny puppy; however, she had some allergies, which caused her to bite and scratch at her skin, making sores.  Again, this is not at all unusual in Goldens, and once a proper food is discovered, the allergies are under control and the skin problems disappear.  Unfortunately for Miley, her skin sores became infected with MRSI bacteria.  (This is the canine version of MRSA.)  Under normal circumstances, this infection does not cross species, but Miley’s dad was on a form of chemo, which suppressed his immune system, and his oncologist was fearful that he would pick up Miley’s infection before she was cured.

 Miley’s tearful mom surrendered her to EGRR, and we promised to find her the perfect “forever” home.  Dr. Butzer told us that this infection is curable, but it does take time, and there are only a limited number of antibiotics that work on it.  Miley is on one of them now and ready to go to a foster-to-adopt home.  Although we have been told she can live with any dog, just to be on the safe side, we feel she should not live with a puppy or a senior dog, due to their weaker immune systems.  If you feel you are that special family to become Miley’s “forever” home contact EGRR and ask to meet her.  She really is a love.
