Sweet Sugar

This little girl is as sweet as her name. We aren't fostering her but I wanted to get the word out about her since Ratbone Rescues needs an extra special home for this fragile baby.

Sugar was surrendered to a California shelter because she had a badly broken leg and they wanted her put down to avoid the expensive vet bills of having her leg set and cared for. She was also extremely underweight. Luckily, the shelter decided to see if Ratbone was willing to take her and get her the vet care she needed. Her leg was set and she was flown to an open foster home in Auburn, Washington, where she has slowly been gaining weight and coming out of her shell.


The leg has healed but x-rays show a large lump of calcification around the break site. It isn't causing her any pain and blood flow to her leg is good. However, she's only 14-16 weeks and is a growing girl. Her new family will need to be willing to have their vet watch her leg as she grows to make sure the blood flow isn't cut off. It's most likely that there won't be an issue, but we want to make sure that her new family is willing to take on the responsibility of her care.



As I said, she is a very sweet little gal who loves giving kisses and curling up in any open laps. One look at those sweet little eyes will melt your heart. If you know of anyone who is looking for a new family member be sure to let them know about little Sugar.
