SAFE!! XXX URGENT!! TN, Maryville "Beetie" Blind & Diabetic Jack Russel Terrier

This adorable girl is Beetie.... Please read about Beetie below.

Beetie is a very sweet and cuddly JRT who is in urgent need of rescue. She is blind and diabetic...

Beetie would prefer to be the only dog in the home. She is rescue only...

My name is Amy...I am a volunteer foster parent for my local animal

shelter and I am also a veterinary technician. The shelter is the

Blount County Animal Center in Maryville, TN. I need help...

Almost a month ago I received an email from the shelter's foster

coordinator about a dog who is at the vet office they work with.

Beetie is an 8 year old female Jack Russell Terrier. Beetie is very

special needs and because of this she will be put down if I can't find

a rescue for her ASAP. I have permission for

the shelter to locate a rescue for Beetie, I am determined not to let

this wonderful girl be put down. Beetie was just a bag of bones when

I picked her up from the vet office. She is mostly blind due to

having diabetes. She can see shadows, but that is it. Her diabetes

is regulated, and she can live her full life span with 2 insulin shots

per day (1.5 units). The shots are very easy to give, they are so

tiny, and I give them while she is eating and she never even notices.

Beetie is a couch potato, she would like to live somewhere where she

is the only dog in the house. Beetie is crate trained and spayed.

She attaches very easily to every person she meets! She follows me

around (she might run in to the couch, but she has learned her way

around the house easily!) She is a very quiet dog who just wants to

sleep and be lazy on the couch all day long. She loves to be walked

outside to do her business. This absolutely wonderful girl deserves

for the second half of her life to be a happy one!!

I really need to get her somewhere asap. The shelter may put her down

because she is deemed "not adoptable", but she is adoptable!!

How can a sweet girl who just wants to be a couch potato and follow

you around not be adoptable?! The reason the shelter sees her this way

is because of her diabetes with the fact that she does not like other

dogs.

I think a good home for her would be one where she is the only inside

dog and no small children (simply because she is too old to be rough

housed with).

Beetie is rescue only.

I was told that if I can find a group to help that I would need a copy of their

501C3 and a vet reference.
