Jerica
In-Take Date of December 2015
Animal ID# 11956
My name is Jerica and I am a 7 year old spayed female of the mixed breed Shar Pei variety. I came to Sedona via Kingman and am lucky to have been transferred to the Humane Society of Sedona. I understand that their Transfer Methodology is very successful and this is a good place to find a forever home. I miss having a real home.
My breed type is considered independent, loyal and calm in our nature. I would say that is very true of my personality. I am a sweet lady who enjoys my outdoor excursions and cuddling on my couch with my warm and fuzzy blankets. I like taking naps after a nice walk.
I have been diagnosed with Pannus which is a condition in which a layer of vascular fibrous tissue extends over the surface of an organ or other specialized anatomical structure, especially the cornea. This is thought to be a hereditary condition that develops as I age and grow older. As an older lady I am determined to have attitude in facing the challenges of getting older and will “put my face to the wind” and deal with it! Attitude and grace is everything.
I understand that predisposing factors such as increased exposure to sunlight, high altitudes and smoke may contribute to the development of Pannus so a shaded yard would be most appreciated. My current medical protocol is that I get a topical corticosteroid and medicated eye drop daily. Dr. Metcalf says that most cases respond well with this treatment but will not cure the condition, though it will halt the progression and could reverse some of the changes within my body … so I am very hopeful.
Think we sound like a match? Would you like a Shar Pei mixed breed dog that is full of heart? Please be my Valentine? I promise you a loyal and faithful love forever.
