Laci was surrendered by her family to the Boulder, Colo., humane society in 2013. She had been with them since puppyhood, but had started nipping at their 6-year-old child. Sadly, Laci spent most of her life in the backyard being ignored until her family took her to the shelter, where she was for several weeks. She had a severe infection in both ears and was in very poor coat condition. The shelter did a full body clip and began treatment on her ears. Laci had to be sedated to work with them; it was felt that the problem with her ears was part of the reason that she was nippy with the child. Apparently, she had infections through the years and the owners were not diligent at following up with ear care.
PBGVCA member Leone Coryell received a call from PBGVCA Rescue’s Julie Shannon, telling her about Laci, and asking her to pick her up at the shelter. Leone was going to foster Laci, but she had five dogs of her own at the time and a sick Bouvier, so Leone brought Laci to Liz Whitney DVM. Liz fostered Laci for a time and helped her out so much.
