Dede
is a large hound who was found wandering just up the road from Journey's
End. She started to follow a man who was out walking, and he asked us if
she was our dog. She wasn't, but Florence agreed to take her in.
She was thin and her feet were blistered, and within a day of arriving
she started to get tick paralysis and was unable to move. Our vet tech Lou Ann bathed her and
removed 100-200 ticks. We estimate Dede had been wandering on her own
for at least 5 to 7 days, because it takes that long for tick paralysis
to set in. We estimate she was around 8 years old when she arrived. She
had no tags or microchip, and had probably been abandoned.
Dede is very sweet and outgoing, and instantly makes friends with any
people or dogs she meets. She is very active and loves to run and play
and follow her nose outside.
