Needs to have a fenced environment and would benefit from obedience training. 

Suki is an adorable pup! She has been vetted and is being treated with antibiotics for a UTI, as well as skin irritation that is caused by possible urine leakage. At this point it isn't clear if the leaking urine is caused by the infection or if it is an ectopic ureter. A culture has been sent out to help ascertain the cause. She is headed to her foster home for TLC and good nutrition. Stay tuned for follow up details on her health and developing personality. 

Foster Update: 4/25/24

Suki is settling in very well to a new foster home and is recovering nicely since her surgery on 4/2! At her recent follow-up appointment at OSU, she was given the all-clear to go on walks and stop wearing a cone as her incision has healed well.  Her urine leaking has improved with each surgery and now, dribbling is only noticed when she gets excited, surprised, or scared.

Suki and her foster sister have become fast friends! They spend their days together, sitting at foster mom’s feet while she works, coming up often for hand-holding and kisses. She has learned to share toys and although she might try to collect all of them for herself, she can just as quickly give a toy up to her sister and find a new one to play with.

She does very well riding in the car and on a leash, sniffing everything she can on walks. She’s always happy to meet a new friend, human or four-legged and knows to have a calmer approach when meeting smaller dogs. She is house trained and knows to go potty outside and is now learning that she can go potty specifically while on a leash when on walks.

Suki is a loving, playful girl who would love to settle into a family of her very own for good!

Update: 4/4/24

On April 2 this beautiful girl had what we hope will be her final surgery. Suki was spayed and while anesthetized had a procedure to help alleviate her urine spotting. Suki will need to remain quiet with restricted activity for 4-6 weeks.  Following her recovery period, we hope she will be ready for her forever home.

Meet Suki!  Could the luck of the Irish work in her favor and help her find a forever home? Suki, who has adopted the name Peach since living with us, will be one year old on Saint Patrick’s Day.  She first came into our home at 8 weeks old in bad shape from a puppy mill.  With the help of the vets at OSU her urinary incontinence has improved greatly.   She has undergone two surgeries for an ectopic ureter and has her last one scheduled April 1st.  Currently she wears a diaper for the small amount of leaking that occurs.  We are hopefully this last surgery will do the trick and she will be diaper free!
 

As she’s grown older she’s learned a few tricks including sit and paw. She is potty and crate trained.  She does beautifully on a leash and loves to go for a walk or a car ride! She’s dog and cat friendly. She loves to play with her foster sisters and won’t ever turn down a game of fetch. We are working on resource guarding with her when it comes to her favorite toys and food.   She absolutely adores children and the company of humans.   Pictures don’t do this beautiful girl justice. She is so friendly, sweet, and has a great personality! Come and meet her today!

Hard to believe this sweet girl will be a year old in March!   She is having a repeat procedure February 6th at OSU in hopes it will correct her leaking caused by the etopic ureter.   Suki is currently taking two medications that have  helped with her urine leaking.   She absolutely loves walks, kids, and other dogs.  She is fully potty trained and has mastered “sit”, “paw” and “down.”

Suki is a 6-month-old happy and energetic golden.   Kids and dogs are her favorite playmates.   She does great walking on a leash and can easily walk a few miles.  Suki can play for hours with toys and loves chewing on bones.   At night once she’s all tuckered out she walks right in her crate where she sleeps through the night without any issues.   Suki had surgery to repair an ectopic ureter at OSU last month.   While this greatly reduced her urinary leaking, she still needs to wear a diaper, which she wears without complaints.

Hi my name is Suki.  I’m a 9-week-old golden retriever with a suspected ectopic ureter. My foster home is taking me to OSU for further evaluation and treatment.  My favorite thing to do is play with my foster sisters and getting lots of cuddles.  I enjoy running around outside and chewing on toys.  I’ve already mastered potty training and have learned to sit on cue.  I even sleep through the night with no accidents!  My foster moms say I’m the best puppy they’ve met and have a great temperament. I love other pets and am always up for going on an adventure.
