Hi my name is Tucker and I have had a rough couple of weeks in Sheltie rescue.  I was an owner surrender to the Indianapolis Humane Society.  They tried to help me but were unsuccessful and thought they would give me to the experts at Sheltie rescue.  I came in with sever upper respiratory problems and food allergies.  I also had a very bad ear infection.  My ears are now better.  My skin is healing and I am beginning to play with toys.  I have to wait until Thanksgiving to go back to the doctor to see if I am strong enough to begin the Heartworm treatment.

Hi everyone,

I have had the first two months of my Heartworm treatment. I am feeling much better and have found me voice. I didn't bark or show any expressions except sadness until the end of December. The skin allergies are bad. Just about the time you think we have it whipped, I have another outbreak. Some of the meds make me sick to my stomach so I have to take another pill. Mom gives me weekly baths to soothe my skin and make it less itchy. I am growing new hair in my bald spots. I will get retested for Heartworms in about 6 weeks to see if we are over that.

I will be rechecked for Heartworm in another week and I my be good to go and taken off the medical hold.

Tucker here. I beat Heartworms and I am only going to get stronger. I still need special baths for my skin but I am healing and getting much better. I am ready to find that special person that will love me and continue my spa treatments. I am completely housebroken and quite the gentleman. I am not a barker except when needed. I will bark at you when you fall asleep and forget to feed me or when the time changes but my stomach time doesn't. And when someone rings the doorbell. I just want to make sure you heard it. If you tell me you heard it, I stop barking.
