History: McKenna is a beautiful gal who needed help from an unfortunate situation who arrived to rescue scared and unsure of that around her. She does best with another confident dog around and will thrive with a patient environment as she continues to grow her confidence!
McKenna underwent ectopic ureter surgery at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to address issues with urine leakage. During this procedure, she was also diagnosed with a rare condition of having two vaginas. Fortunately, McKenna is currently symptom-free regarding her urinary and reproductive systems, and her recent bloodwork shows all results within normal limits.
A Note from the Foster: McKenna is a sweet, calm girl who we love having in our home. She’s happy when meeting any person, and also does great at the groomers and vet. She hasn’t been around very small kids, but would do fine with older kids.
She likes being around all dogs, big/small, male/female. She loves to play with dogs if they want to play. She would probably love a doggy companion. She has been introduced to a cat and well.
McKenna has wonderful manners. She sits for food and treats. She takes treats very gently. She’s quiet and rarely barks. She likes stuffed animals and chewing on a Benebone.
She is used to having a fenced yard and loves running around, especially in the snow. She does not do well on a tie out so she would need a fenced in yard. She enjoys going for walks and we use a harness with her.
At night, she sleeps in a kennel in our room with the door open. We’re home most of the day so if we need to be gone for short periods, we’ll leave her out with our dogs. If it’s for a long time, we’ll put her in a kennel with the door closed.
McKenna is not a lap dog, but she has discovered that people give amazing scratchies and sometimes will ask for some. She likes being in the same area as you, on the couch with you or in a dog bed nearby.
McKenna’s going to love having her own family. If you think she might be a fit for you please apply!
Adoption Fee: $560 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
