Brooklyn

My story

Meet Brooklyn..... Brooklyn is 3 years old and one very special girl who has had a long journey to get to where she is today. She was a cruelty case confiscate by Animal Control. She has back-leg weakness due to a possible spinal injury as well as being confined in a kennel at Animal Control for several months, with very little opportunity to get out and stretch her legs. Once joining BAARK, through consistent chiropractic care, a good diet and strength building exercises, Brooklyn can now walk on her own, though sometimes she may be a bit wobbly or drag her back legs. She does need to have her bladder expressed but it is a very simple procedure (her foster has never done this before and it truly is no big deal at all). Brooklyn goes outside with all the other dogs and simply waits for her bladder to be expressed. Brooklyn is able to walk up and down steps and enjoys walking around the yard with the other dogs in the foster home on her own. There are times that her legs are a little weaker, possibly due to too much walking and standing as she joins in with other dogs in her foster home. In order to avoid scrapes on her feet, her foster mom uses vet wrap to protect her rear paws. Brooklyn recently enjoyed a trip to a lake and had a blast running with her dog friends. She’s a sweet, happy girl who has overcome so much. She deserves a chance at a family to love and take care of her forever. Brooklyn seems to prefer women vs men but has warmed up quickly to her foster dad. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative and on year-round heartworm prevention. Brooklyn is a petite girl, weighing in at about 40 lbs If you are interested in adding this precious young girl to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895
