I am a playful, almost 3 year old little girl. I like to chase squeaker toys and zoom around with my foster sisters. I am the best lap dog ever and take every chance I get to cuddle in a ball on a lap. I am very welcoming of strangers and have never been abused. I have great recall to my name and love to be greeted with a nice head scratch. I have a restricted diet because I have a problem with my pancreas.

I came to Lucky Star at 7.5lbs, from another rescue who recognized that I was going to need some extended care and special attention would be needed for me to gain weight I’ve been very spoiled ever since I came to Lucky Star. My condition is called EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency)   . It’s more common than you’d think and there are many support groups to help with questions about the care of an EPI dog (www.wpi4dogs.com). I currently weigh over 12 lbs and I am very fast and agile. I do not have any other health issues at all. This EPI thing is pretty cool for me because I have been getting 3 meals per day. The only trick to my meals is that I need to have powdered enzymes mixed with warm water and my food for 20 minutes before I can eat it. I am very patient while waiting for my timer to go off. I sit very pretty (if not sort of pathetic) in the spot where I eat. I eat very eagerly and am willing to eat anything, even if it’s in my sister’s bowl. I will need this enzyme for my entire life.   My pancreas does not produce the enzyme on its own so I need to have it.   It’s a fairly simple process, once it becomes part of the routine and Lucky Star has information about where to obtain the enzyme at a price that is much more reasonable than most vet practices.  

Thanks to the loving care I’ve gotten so far, I now have fur everywhere and I’m just starting to get some feathering around my paws and my tail. I am always happy, even if you tell me to go in my crate. I am allowed to wander loose during the day here but at night I still go in my crate to sleep. I have never had an accident in the house. I am looking for a home with other dogs of any size and a fenced yard. I still need training with basic obedience and walking but I do love to walk and I am a perfect travel dog.

My foster dad says that I’m so friendly that I would be a great therapy dog because I love to meet new people
