Meet Thora.

Meet Thora. {UPDATE: Thora was adopted almost immediately after our photo shoot!}

This tiny little 6 month old wiggle machine is quite a sweetheart. She was a little scared of the camera at first, but once she had a good sniff of it, she settled right in. Eager for treats Thora was a very pliable portrait subject...



We don't know much about Thora because she was a stray... But she was recently diagnosed with Demodectic Mange. Demodectic mange is caused by a microscopic mite that is present in most puppies. Mites are transferred from mother to pup. For most dogs, this condition is gone after their immune system strengthens (between 6-18 months). Because of her skin condition, Thora has some hair loss around her eyes, but all in all the naked eye would never know that she had any abnormality.



Thora responds well to commands like "sit" and "off" and is eager to play. She has a tiny frame that will likely become a perfect mid-size dog. She is thought to be a lab-pit bull mix. Her big brown puppy eyes are deep, alert and begging. I hope dearly for this little one that we can find someone out there who can care for her skin disease until she grows out of it and show her the warmth and love of family.
