Meet Schaubau
Her name is a term of endearment: Xiaobao means «little treasure» or «little darling». And that is exactly what she is. Schaubau is a two-year-old Siberian Husky girl with a black-and-white coat and two bright blue eyes – and with a heart that has stayed wide open despite everything.
Anyone who meets her is greeted like an old friend. She seeks people’s company, loves a good scratch and gives her trust without hesitation.
Schaubau’s story
Schaubau was badly injured in a car accident: a bone in her front leg was broken. The vets first tried to save the leg with surgery. But because the injury had gone untreated for some time, the muscles could no longer be saved and the leg had lost its blood supply. When an infection set in, amputation was the only option.
What happened next touches everyone who knows her: Schaubau adapted to life on three legs remarkably quickly. Shortly after the operation she found a new balance and was moving confidently again. Throughout all her treatments she was patient and cooperative – an incredibly brave dog.
Character & personality
Schaubau is calm, joyful, intelligent and keen to learn. She is very people-oriented, cuddly and friendly and adapts remarkably well to new situations.
With other dogs she is social, curious and loves to play. She finds cats interesting but has shown no marked hunting instinct so far and can be called off. She has no experience with small children yet; her friendly nature suggests that, with a gentle introduction, she could also be a wonderful family dog.
She is house-trained, walks on a lead and only occasionally pulls a little – with some training this will surely improve. She knows car rides and stays relaxed.
Health
Schaubau is microchipped, vaccinated (including rabies), dewormed and spayed. She eats normally and is generally fit and healthy.
Schaubau’s dream home
Schaubau doesn’t need luxury. She is looking for people who understand her special situation, meet her with patience and welcome her as a full member of the family despite her missing leg.
A house or flat with access to a securely fenced garden would be ideal. The home should have as few obstacles as possible: few stairs, no slippery floors – or rugs and runners that give her grip.
Do you have room in your heart for our little treasure? Then get in touch – Schaubau is waiting for her chance.
