esme

Female - Dutch Shepherd

Age: TBD | Weight:12 kg on intake

We were alerted about Esme from someone who saw her wandering in a horrible state. She was found in Valle Esmeralda, an area of San Vicente, Nayarit. She immediately went to our vet. She was covered in ticks, tested positive for erlichea, was very underweight and severely anemic. So anemic in fact, the first week of rescue she needed to be monitored to determine if she might need a blood transfusion. After about 5 days in our care, with food, rest and love, she really started perking up! She has a bit of a long road ahead of her but we can’t wait to see the transformation.

Once healthy and fully vetted, Esme will be making her way to Ottawa to be trained by Shield K9 Ottawa/Beds for Tails kennels. They are previous adopters and amazing supporters who have graciously offered to take her in when ready, train her and help us find her the most loving forever home. She will be available for adoption in the Ottawa, ON area. We can’t yet predict when she will be able to travel but we’re hoping by February/March.
