RRUFF was very proud that this sweet girl was the first recipient of funds from Sienna's Fund. On November 30, 2006 Keena had a Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) surgery to repair her torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).

Keena had to be kept quiet for several weeks after her surgery to ensure proper healing. Once the bones have healed TPLO patients begin rehabilitation. Rehabilitation activities build gradually and are focused on stretching surgery scar tissue and rebuilding muscle. 

Since entering foster care Keena has proved to be a loving companion who is happiest when close to her family. Keena is being fostered in MA with her 2 female dog siblings and 4 older human siblings.   

Keena and her foster parents were interviewed for their local newspaper.  Click on the link below to read the article.  

It's a RRUFF life for rottweilers

Keena completed her rehabilitation and is making up for lost time and enjoying life! She can now romp and play with her foster siblings. Keena especially enjoyed playing in the snow.

Keena graduated Beginner Obedience, at Progressive Canine in March 2007, with her foster parents. She does well with her basic commands: sit, down, stay, heel and come. She crates wonderfully, is housetrained and is up to date on vaccines. 

From the very beginning, Keena melted the hearts of our volunteers and everyone who came in contact with her.  She is an amazing girl and a true testament to the ability dogs have of moving forward regardless of what happened in the past.  

Keena's foster parents asked to officially adopt Keena in May of 2007.  They said she became such a big part of their family that they couldn't even think of letting her go.
