While we do our best with matching up dog to adopters, sometimes it just doesn't work out. That was the case with Suri who's New Rattitude name is Tina Fey (Tina).
For ease of tracking, I will refer to her as her New Rattitude name but, on video you will hear me call her Suri since that's the name she know so, that's what we call her at home.
Tina was fostered by a different foster parent back in 2012 and then adopted by a family during the summer of 2012. Tina started off great in her new home but, started struggling in December. Despite everything her family tried, Tina just wasn't doing well. Tina has been having a number of seizure and despite being on medication, seizure breakthroughs were still occurring. The thing with seizures, you want to get them managed as each seizure impacts the brain.
So, after much deliberation the decision was made to return Tina to New Rattitude. This wasn't about this family not loving Tina, it was a case of just not a good environmental fit. Tina's family household was very active and everyone agrees she needs a quiet home. Our household is quiet and predictable so with K (now June) being adopted, it was decided that Tina would come to us. We picked up Tina this past Saturday and she's doing well!
In the coming weeks we will let Tina settle in, work on calming her brain with exercise, TTouch and general quiet time. We also have a scheduled appointment with a well respected holistic vet to go over Tina's medications and get a treatment plan in place.
I will tell you Tina is a funny little gal - she's about 9lbs and a pistol! She has a huge personality and I bet you fall in love with her so beware.
