Periwinkle's story is a sad one but we are doing everything we can to give her the life she deserves going forward. Periwinkle was found after many days alone in a home with her owner who had passed away. "Winks" was near to slipping away herself. After intensive care at the city animal care service, Winks was able to come into our care at Diamond Dachshund Rescue. Once in our care, Periwinkle was diagnosed with bladder stones, mammary tumors, malnutrition, hair loss, anxiety, flea infestation, and much more-- but her spirit and heart were not broken. Once Winks was comfortable in her foster home and gaining weight, we immediately needed to tackle her bladder stone problem-- some of her stones were the size of pecans! Winks came through surgery very well and is working on relearning her body's signals that tell her when she needs to go outside to potty now. She is on a special, easy to find dog food to keep the stones from ever recurring. She knows how to use a doggie door and potty pads when needed. Our next big step in her care was 2 mammary tumor surgeries. Periwinkle had many tumors that could not be removed all at once due to how spread out they were. The plan was for her was t undergo 2 separate surgeries to remove everything in the safest way possible. Xrays show that these tumors have not spread and were safe to remove. During her second surgery, our trusted vet plans also cleaned her teeth.

Winks has run into a few tough spots with allergies and incontinence along the way, xrays showing that in her past she's had a broken pelvis and femur, and is already dealing with arthritis.... but she is one of the sweetest, most even-tempered dogs you'll ever meet. When she looks at you with her unusual, half periwinkle-colored, half brown eyes, you just known she's been through more than her share of hardship. Winks loves to cuddle, follows you everywhere, loves toys, is friendly with other dogs, is interested in children, previously lived with cats, will wear a diaper, uses a doggy door, loves going in the car, and is just generally easy going and calm. She's a kind soul who connects with people at a deeper level than many dogs.

Perwinkle has now had all her surgeries and dental.  She has come through a lot and is now been cleared for adoption.  It has taken almost 6 months but she was worth the wait!  She deserves a wonderful, safe and loving home for her future!  Won't you be the home to give her that?
