UPDATE 3/22/10: Bootsie's treatment is a success, she feels so much better, and a happy bounding puppy has emerged! she's ready for playing, socializing at dog parks, and curling up next to you for a nap. Booboo is playful with other dogs, and sweet at socializing with kitties. this sweet dog ADORES everyone, and would love a home where she has a cat and maybe even a dog to play with.... Please email for info on Mz. Bootsie!

Bootsie is amazing - what a gentle and sweet personality! Boots had been dumped on a road in Modesto and was found by a cat rescue person. She had a horrible case of Demodex (non-contagious version of Mange mites) but has been on meds for a while and well on the way to recovery! we've been calling her "Dusty Sox" or "Bootsie" as not only does she have little white feet (and chest) but she lets us put socks on her back feet to help her not scratch. she is still so itchy, but the Demodex is cured and mostly cleared up - yay! a week or two and this beautiful girl has more hair fluff growing in, and is more comfortable in this cold weather.

Miss Bootsie is just over a year old now, and she has a great trainable personality. her coat is a rich black, and is filling in nicely and Boots has the most beautiful Shar Pei wrinkles all around her face and neck, and paws - so cute! she loves to snuggle and is right at my feet when i go to bed at night. she is totally non-reactive to cats (i have three) and would love another dog to play with. her little brown eyes shine with love, and that tail just wags and wags (has a cute little white tip too!)

the vet says she may have a few bald patches left when her hair grows in, but such is the way with Demodex. already with fuzz she is so snuggly and super beautiful! they suffer so much with Demodex (so itchy!) and this girl is young, it is likely she's had it her whole life. Bootsie Sox deserves a great home full of love - this pup would truly be a treasure to any family, and would be a great dog park and companion dog. won't you consider this doll? she really IS adorable, and SO playful too!

she is up-to-date on shots.
