Myrtle Provac is a 9-year-old Jack Russel terrier in Providence, RI, who needs $500 for Dental .

Myrtle is a special rescue senior that was pulled from local animal control. She is currently living in a foster home with RHR as a "sanctuary dog" through the rescue. Being a senior, she has had a variety of vetting needs such as dental work, cataract care as well as ongoing incontinence issues.

Myrtle is as quiet as a mouse but so loving and really appreciates having a safe space to call her own in her "golden years". She is patient with the foster puppies and loves lounging with the other elderly dogs in the home. She often gets very excited for food and gets a cute little pep in her step when the food bowl comes out!

Rhode Home Rescue is a 501(c)3 all volunteer and foster based rescue that works to save local dogs from neglect, abuse or abandonment here in RI and in partnering States/Rescues. Many of the dogs in our care are medically needy and donations are what keeps us afloat.

Myrtle desperately needs dental work. She has had a substantial issue with rotten teeth that have caused abscesses in the past and make it difficult for her to chew. This dental work would be completed by Warwick Animal Hospital in Warwick, RI. This would clear up the issues she's been having for good and help her live a happy and healthy life.

Myrtle was cast aside like so many other senior dogs. She quickly became lost in a sea of applications for other younger dogs in the rescue. It has been months, and still no adopter is able to make the commitment for this senior gal. Her current foster mom loves her little quirks and she still manages to wag that little nub tail in delight whenever her foster momma comes home from a long day.
