GEORGIA
You will have GEORGIA on your mind from the minute you meet this darling Wire Fox girl. She is genuinely sweet and gentle and everyone wants to be her friend. She is laid back, always on her best behavior and well-mannered. Aside from her wonderful personality, what a pretty girl with her expressive face and lovely marked coat. She weighs 19.6 pounds and is 3.5 years old – born on September 3, 2021. Georgia is a girl who will make you smile – when she heads outside she immediately does a little back feet dance. I have a feeling she is a water girl and would love a beach or pool – she dunks her entire face in the water bowl! Loves exploring the yard, lounging on the furniture and enjoying the sunshine. Georgia is a cuddler and adores her human, snuggling in tight and close. Being with you is her favorite thing, going in the car, going for a walk or hike. You get an instant head tilt with the mention “go for a walk”? Georgia was a bit timid on arrival as expected, having known only her first home and then a big move to Chicago with a house full of terriers. But she loves it here and is very good with all the other dogs and has so much fun outside with everyone, playing and hanging out. Well except for the puppy who is annoying she heads for the hills when she sees Beatrix coming. Georgia is such a fabulous girl with a perfect temperament, loving, friendly, and beautiful. She is just peachy and will bring so much love and sweetness to her lucky Forever Home.

Georgia is an owner surrender who had been managing an incontinent issue with diapers which they thought started after her spay at 6 months old. Initially the vet put her on proin for a year with no results, then a urinalysis to rule out infection and suggested a visit to the University Hospital to evaluate for ectopic ureters. A growth was discovered in her vulva in January of 2023 and surgery to remove was declined. It was financial reasons that had them table further vet work since. She was loved in her home and they chose to reach out to WFTRM for help. Georgia arrived at WFTRM Chicago and was very itchy, had a sore inside her ear from scratching and the polyp had grown considerably in her vulva. She had a CBC blood panel done, Bordatella, 4DX Heartworm test, nail trim, Cytology on the Ears which returned negative, and a Cytopoint injection which immediately worked it’s magic. She also had her backside clippered, cleaned and the growth examined and thought it might be a polyp. It is very irritating, painful and sore and needs to be addressed along with her urinary issues.
As many already have assumed or know, the sweet adorable blind boy from a Las Vegas shelter who was one day from being euthanized - will be staying permanently at WFTRM Chicago. After all his many surgeries along with eye issues have been remediated, he became such an anchor here and so loved by everyone. Zazu feels safe here, knows the house and terrain and walks around all confident and in charge like his predecessor - the original blind boy Zazoo. Thank you for loving him as much as we do. He is a very special senior boy.

Georgia had her appointment at Veterinary Specialty Center in Bannockburn, Illinois on June 4th for her workup with internal medicine nephrology and urology department. I felt so bad she had to fast before our appointment. This appointment included ultrasound, bloodwork, Urinalysis, Cultures and examination. The findings indicate a right ectopic ureter and the left ectopic ureter also cannot be ruled out. She has a very bad urinary tract infection with bladder cystitis. The backside issue is an anatomical abnormality and is suspected to be an overdeveloped clitoral anatomy. This would be surgically removed as it likely contributes to urinary tract infection and irritation. She is such a good girl, so friendly and loves meeting new people and places. The plan moving forward is to address the UTI with antibiotics and she will also be on extended release Proin. Once the cultures return, we may need to switch out the antibiotic depending on the results. Georgia would get a urinalysis in two weeks and if the infection was clear, she would continue the meds for another week. The surgery is tentatively scheduled for June 25th for the laser ablation and ectopic ureter correction. They advised against removal of the clitoral anomaly in the same session due to the complexity. Georgia is the sweetest and most loving little girl and it will be such a blessing and celebration to see her conditions taken care of and her pain and discomfort gone.
