"Bloom was found as a stray in Huntington (QC) in September 2011. The couple who found her were not able to keep her so her now temp foster home offered to take her in and take on the task of finding her a good h…ome.… Upon meeting Bloom, she discovered that it might be harder to find her a home than she originally thought. It was obvious that something was wrong with her so she took her to see an orthopedist and it was confirmed that she suffers from Radius Curvus Syndrome and will need a $3,800 surgery plus need to be spay for another $150-$200 for a total of $4,000 required."

BHRR was contacted to assist and she was then signed over to BHRR's authority in October 2011.

November 8th, 2011 UPDATE:

"Bloom is doing well. We are still working on getting her house trained. It has been difficult since she we had to scratch the crate idea because of her anxiety. She is now good when left alone, I guess it's hard to complain when you're sleeping on a bed! 🙂 Also, she is very pushy and tends to keep trying until she gets what she wants. We are trying very hard to set limits but I'm thinking it might take a while as she is a very determined gal!'"
