\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I need to get Arizona to a good, loving home. I am truly heart-broken having to make this decision. And I hate asking for assistance especially when I made a commitment to be Arizona’s forever mom but my health is seriously poor right now…<\/p>\n

After four months of anxiety, Arizona finally arrived in Texas in October, 2005. Her birthdate is late May, 2005. Arizona is crate-trained. She has never chewed up anything. She has never had any accidents in the house. She is a pushy broad, exerting her alpha female role by trying to be the boss. She will back-off tho when warned by the males. She is deaf and she may see faint light & shadows. I have always tied a couple of sleigh bells to door knob so fur kids can ring letting me know they need to go out. Arizona has learned to nose these jingle bells, too. She will automatically sit for treats. She obeys hand-commands such as fingers under her chin to come forward, pat on behind to sit, palm at her nose to stay.<\/p>\n

Arizona is frequently running into me and almost knocking me down. My bones are so porous right now that I cannot risk being injured again from the slightest provocation.<\/p>\n

I am very grateful to all of you that are helping me and Arizona.<\/p>\n
