Thistle does have a skin allergy that will need to be evaluated by an outside veterinarian after adoption a new adopter will want to follow up with their vet to get her the proper diagnosis and care plan so she can be as comfortable as possible.

There is a particular injustice in a ten-year-old dog sitting in a shelter kennel. Senior dogs feel uncertainty deeply, and Thistle has already been through enough.
