Chloe is a 12 year old, Dachshund/Beagle Mix.
Her human dad had to go into an assisted living facility and is no longer able to care for her. The family reached out to us to take her in and provide her a safe place to live out her golden years. Chloe is a little timid right now but we think she will be just fine. She has a lot to take in with her new Serenity family, a new schedule and she’s trying to get to know her new stepsiblings (Pork Chop and Remy).
We will do everything we can to help her acclimate as soon as possible. Her previous veterinarian noted that she has a stage 3-heart murmur and stage 3-dental/periodontal disease.
Update 2024-01-10: Sweet Chloe went to her own foster home on Monday! She gets to be the queen of her own castle. Nancy’s granddaughter contacted us about Chloe. They came and met her and immediately fell in love. Nancy lives in a senior apartment complex. We are happy our Seniors Helping Seniors program works! Chloe deserves to be the only pet getting all the attention. A big thank you to Nancy for giving Chloe a chance. We love you, Chloe!!!
Update 2024-02-20: We are so sad we lost Chloe on Sunday morning. Her foster mom called us to let us know Chloe was having a hard time breathing, her belly was huge and she couldn’t lie down. We got to her as fast as we could and rushed her to IndyVet. Chloe was in congestive heart failure and there was nothing we could do. She also had a large mass in her stomach. Dr. Williams and his team were kind and compassionate and eased Chloe’s suffering.
Chloe was such a sweetheart! She was gentle, quiet and loved people. She and her foster mom became attached at the hip very quickly. We are so thankful to Nancy for giving Chloe her own home for a few months. Chloe had 24/7 love and attention. Chloe got along with Pork Chop, Remy, Bella, Max, Lilo and Stitch when she was living at the sanctuary. She also did an excellent job when we took her to PrimeLife Enrichment, Inc. for a presentation.
We all loved Chloe very much. She was a special, old lady. We miss her!
