Breed: Vizsla (Hungarian Pointer)
Sex: Female
Age Diagnosed w/Addison's: 5 months old
Comments: Mocha was born on Dec 30th, 1999. We brought her home when she was 8 weeks old & fell in love with her. She immediately became a part of our family. When she was in the hospital for two weeks before she was diagnosed, my husband or myself would stop by to spend time with her everyday. One time my husband was able to visit before work and called me at work to brag about how he got to have some "Mocha Love" today.
Because she is a growing puppy, we're still dealing with side effects and modifying the medication. She still likes to play, fetch, chase the birds, eat, go on walks, drink, snuggle and eat.

Breed: Scottish Terrier
Sex: Male
Age Diagnosed w/Addison's: 2 years old
Comments: Say "hello" to Rex - my new "boyfriend". Born in Wales, he arrived in Canada 3 1/2 yrs ago with his original owner. When returning to England, the decision was made to leave this happy, energetic 1 1/2 yr old behind to avoid the mandatory 6 month quarantine. Homeless, Rex was headed to a shelter via my cousin's Pet Taxi service, and my 2nd rescue had arrived!! Fate stepped in, for within 4 months he was quickly diagnosed with Addison's.
He surely would have gone undiagnosed in quarantine.

Breed: Chow Chow
Sex: Female
Age Diagnosed w/Addison's: 8 months old
Comments: Moo is a female red rough chow of course, she
was diagnosed at 8 months, but I suspect she had it longer than that in retrospect.
She takes 2mg of pred/day and that's all.
Her mom and dad love their special needs Chow!

Breed: Labrador Retriever
Sex: Female
Age Diagnosed w/Addison's: 9 years, 3 months (August 11, 2000)
Comments: My husband and I adopted Kelsey from the APS when she was just 10 weeks old and since that time, our lives have changed dramatically. Kelsey is just so much fun! Her favorite things to do include her nightly "walkie," swimming
over the waves in the ocean, chasing squirrels, playing with any of her cuddly toys and snuggling up to Mom at night. Oh, yes, and she just loves it when she can get to the tennis ball before her little sister (also a rescue pup - Border Collie/lab mix) Molly can. Kelsey is very appreciative of all of the information she's getting from this caring support group!
