Ciara and her five littermates came to our rescue as owner surrenders. As a requirement of us accepting these pups, the owner agreed to have the mom spay and was able to do so through a grant made available through Fix GA Pets. We were told that the mom was a Border Collie mix, but we're not positive of their breed.

Ciara's start to life was pretty rough. She suffered some sort of injury that left her with two large raw spots on her back and also had an eye issue (Entropion). Her wounds have been treated but she's not yet regrown all of her fur. Her case of Entropion has also corrected itself and while she is able to see, she may have life-long vision problems. Despite her afflictions, Ciara is an extremely loving and friendly pup who plays very well with other pups. She is well-socialized and bonds very quickly with people.

Ciara will have received 2/3 of her first year "puppy" vaccines with her final round due on April 14th. She's also been de-wormed at proper intervals and started on their monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. She'll need to receive her rabies vaccination after the age of 12 weeks. Her adopter must agree to having Ciara spay once she reaches 6 months of age and provide verification of such to our rescue. Ciara will require all of her basic training.
