special
notes: currently in foster care |

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Buka is a 2-year-old black lab who isn’t looking her best right
at the moment, but will be a stunner once she gets her health and her
coat back. She was certainly having a bad hair day when she arrived here
two weeks ago with a longstanding case of demodex mange, and she still
has the oily, flaky coat and hairless patches that are characteristic
of the condition. She’s been receiving medical treatment and special
baths for the mange. We’ve also put her on a limited ingredient
diet specifically for allergic dogs, since a low immune system due to
allergies often allows other conditions to get a foot in the door. Buka
didn’t find herself in this condition overnight, so it will take
a little more time to set her right again, but once her mange is gone
and her new hypoallergenic diet established she’ll soon be the
gorgeous girl she was meant to be. Buka’s former owner tells us
that she loves other dogs, slept in a pile with the family cats, and
adored the child she lived with. She’s a high-energy, friendly,
eager girl, and all she wants is an active family so she can once more
be a loving, and loved, pet.
