MIGHTY – A1085161

A volunteer writes:

Mighty is right behind her arrival kennel door. Her eyes do not leave me. She dances a little. Your tun will come, little one…Mighty is really cute, a Poodle who does not look at all her stated age. She is well groomed beside a large amount of staining on her legs and romp. I proceed to wash her when I realize that she in fact suffers from pyometra. Mighty who just arrived is then taken into the medical room and treated to her needs, antibiotics for now.  Although eager to go out, Mighty was a little shy once I opened her den. A leash, she was not too sure she wanted it…but accepted it any way. She just needed a slow approach. What a great walker she is , even doing her business on the way. Caresses, bring them on… Mighty wants to make friends. She is just a bit lost with all those changes in her life and that ailment she really did not need…Mighty is as cute as can be… Our veterinarians are helping her overcome a big bump on the road. She will soon need you to continue the good work and welcome her into your home and heart. Mighty is at the Manhattan Care Center.
