Elodie

About Elodie (ADOPTED)

Female, Pointer Mix, 8 months old, 11kg

Elodie is 8 months old, weighs around 11 kilos and is a mix of Lab and Pointer. She was heartlessly dumped in a cardboard box outside the shelter with her siblings early this year. She’s the last puppy from the cardboard box litter to find a home. She is utterly gorgeous, affectionate, happy and playful. She has been thriving in her foster home, loves everyone she meets and enjoys playing with other dogs.

Elodie has unfortunately been diagnosed with a rare condition called Dandy Walker Syndrome after an MRI scan (see last photo). This is an inherited neurological disease. Dogs with this condition show signs of non-progressive (will not worsen with age) neurological dysfunction. This is due to an undevelopment of the cellebrum, which is the part of the brain used for coordinated movement.


The symptoms include tremors, reduced or absent reflexes, a unique gait, abnormal eye movements, and leaning to one side. Despite these challenges, dogs with Dandy Walker Syndrome can still learn and behave normally. As they grow older, they tend to improve and adapt to their condition.

Elodie is a delightful puppy who doesn’t let this syndrome hold her back. She may be a little wobbly and special, but she’s still full of life and enjoys doing all the things that any other pup would do. We are looking for a 5* home for Elodie who will love her for the gorgeous pup that she is.
