Basset Hound / Dachshund / Mixed (short coat) Dog

Mya the Dog needs a home

Please contact Pet ([email protected]) for more information about this pet.

 



This is Mya, one of our special needs/medical cases. Mya was adopted as a pup from us about 3-1/2 years ago. In March 2016 she suffered a severe herniated disk in her spine. Her adoptive family didn't think they could handle the issues involved with surgery and potential physical therapy that might be required, so Mya came back to us. She underwent surgery but hasn't yet fully regained the use of her hindquarters. Therefore, Mya has been attending physical therapy once a week to enable her to be able to walk independently where she receives laser therapy and stretching, manual nerve stimulation of her paws/pads, has to walk/lift her feet over 4" high bars, do figure-eights around cones for balance, stretch and stand on 2 legs, then underwater treadmill for 3 sets of 4 minutes each. Mya does not have bowel/bladder control, so wears a diaper. She often lifts her hindquarters, assumes a wide stance and walks/runs now ! She currently weighs about 30 pounds which is just about a perfect weight for her. We believe she is a Basset hound/Dachshund mix. Mya is full of love and life and would dearly love to have her own family once again. She is fostered in Fairmont, WV. If you are that special kind of person that would continue to help Mya become independently mobile while sharing your life with her, please complete an adoption application at

Pet Helpers is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foster based volunteer rescue located in Fairmont, WV.  We do adopt out of state to approved applicants, if you are willing to drive to WV to pick up your pet.  We do not fly or use transport companies.  Our adoption fee is $150.00 for mixed breed puppies and adult dogs, $225.00 for full blooded puppies and adult dogs and $50.00 for cats and kittens.  Regardless if the animal is a mixed breed or full blooded they are spayed/neutered prior to adoption IF they are old enough.  If they are too young at the time of adoption, then it is your financial responsibility to spay/neuter the pet by the age of 6 months and you must provide proof for our files that it has been done.  All of our pets are checked by a vet, given the shots appropriate for their age and any other treatment deemed necessary by the vet.  All of our pets are adopted as indoor pets and are not be outdoors tied to a box 24/7.  The pet you are adopting has been living in a home with a foster family.  You are expected to take possession of the pet you are applying for within a few days of application approval.  This will enable us to accept another pet into that home.  Because we are a rescue, and believe that spaying and neutering is crucial in stopping the reproduction of unwanted puppies/kittens and massive amounts of animals dying daily in shelters across the country, we expect any animal already in your home to be spayed/neutered. If for any reason you are unable to keep the pet you have adopted you are required to return them to Pet Helpers, Inc.  They are not to be sold or given away.
