Sami Maltese & Poodle Mix Oakville, ON

Hello, my name is Sami, I'm a Maltipoo, I'm apricot and white 10.8lbs of love and energy. I recently became diabetic which was too much for my original people to handle but my wonderful vet refused to end my life and I have joined the foster program to look for a forever family that will feed me a veterinary prescribed low fat diet and give me a shot of insulin every 12 hours. My nickname is Sami the Lamby. I like to cuddle, go for walks and of course eat! My foster folks think I am a Lab in training! I am a gorgeous apricot and white colour, very curly and I don't shed. My legs are long and I race around and gambol like the lamb I am named after. Caring for a diabetic dog just requires that I be fed a measured amount of food every 12 hours. Treats are just a couple of pieces of kibble occasionally. Insulin is given as a needle and I crouch down and accept the needle with stoicism but not pleasure. I can't have scrap food or pieces of bread and crackers that I find on the ground. I would be best suited to a family with children over the age of 10, who will understand that despite my diabetes I'm absolutely fabulous!
