::: Seeking a Medical Foster Home for Jenga :::
Jenga is a one-year-old, spayed female Rottweiler who came to WAIF with several other dogs that hadn’t had much socialization. Thanks to daily training and attention from our staff and volunteers, she’s become much more confident and now enjoys playing with other dogs. We think she could also live with cats who are used to dogs, as long as introductions are slow and supervised. When Jenga first arrived, she loved playing in the kiddie pool and chasing the hose. Now that the weather is colder, she enjoys going for walks or chewing on a stick.
Starting this month, on November 18th, Jenga will receive her first surgery; she requires three ligament surgeries due to an inherited condition, and she will need to recover from one surgery before undergoing another one. Because recovering in a shelter can be challenging, we’re looking for a medical foster home where she can heal in comfort. The ideal foster will help with her physical therapy and may be asked to take her to follow-up appointments so she can recover in good health and enjoy a long, pain-free life. Interested fosters can expect Jenga’s recovery to take 3 to 6 months in the home.
Jenga is ready for someone to make a difference in her life! If you are interested in learning how to become her foster, please email us at 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝗳𝘃𝗰@𝘄𝗮𝗶𝗳𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹𝘀.𝗼𝗿𝗴
If you're not able to foster, but would like to contribute to her surgery and recovery costs, please consider making a donation at waifanimals.org/donate/jengasurgery
