Sapphire

My name is Sapphire and I came to the shelter as a stray in January 2012. I am a 1 year old female with beautiful blue eyes! When the shelter people first saw me, they were amazed at how blue they were! I have a very shy personality, so I would do best in a quieter home. It can be very noisy and overwhelming here at the shleter, so with a little patience and socialization, I'll be well on my way to coming out of my shell. I'm very sweet and I feel the safest when you hold me close to you. With the right home, I will make the purr-fect companion!

You can tell that your dog has an earache by the way he is acting. One thing the dog will do is scratch his ear and whine, or will turn his head sideways. If this happens there could be something in his ear. Do not try to get the thing out of your dog's ear; instead call your veterinarian to treat your dogs ear.
