Rescue Efforts for Miss Floppy










Miss Floppy got her name when a large tick attached itself to her right ear when she was a pup. The ear flopped over from the weight of it. She was still living out in the woods and would not allow me to touch her so I could not remove it. By the time she was letting me pet her, the tick was gone. The ear took a while but it recovered and no longer flops over.




Her fur is not as long and thick as her brother's and her coat is whiter. She also walks with her tail curled over her back. She loves to play and will nip at me when I go into the pen to get me to play with her. She likes to play "can't get me" with her brother and sister.




She is not available for adoption at this time because she has a heart murmur which requires further evaluation. The vet feels that she was probably born with it. She has an appointment at the specialist next week for an ultrasound. If it is not life threatening, she can then be spayed and will be made available for adoption. The family that is interested in Red, is also interested in adopting her when she becomes available.
