Escape artist pup transforms into ‘brave little warrior’ in SC. She needs a home

A puppy in South Carolina is making waves again after she accidentally became famous thanks to her mother, who hatched an escape plan that fell a little bit short.

But this time, the focus is on the pup’s health, rather than how diligently she follows mom’s orders.

“Meet Crepe – our brave little warrior,” the Greenville Humane Society said in an Oct. 21 Facebook post.

“Remember Tupelo, our infamous escape-artist mama who proudly unleashed all 13 of her puppies into our Medical Center? Each one of those little fluffballs has grown into their own unique personality – but one puppy in particular has had a tougher journey than the rest.”

And that would be Crepe, one of the mischievous little babies who once tried to crawl her way out of the shelter during the famous “midnight romp” as it was called by the shelter.

Crepe is facing a medical issue that can possibly have an effect on her as she ages. The shelter refers to her as a “bright, affectionate girl with a heart that’s both brave and fragile.”

“When Crepe was just a few weeks old, our medical team discovered she had been born with a condition called pulmonic stenosis – a congenital heart disease where the valve that controls blood flow from the heart to the lungs doesn’t open all the way,” the shelter said.

“That means Crepe’s heart has to work overtime to pump blood, and as a result, her heart muscle thickens to keep up. In severe cases, this condition can lead to complications later in life,” the shelter said.

Due to Crepe’s young age, the shelter doesn’t know if or when her delicate condition will change.

“She’ll need to visit a cardiologist in 6–12 months for another echocardiogram to reassess her heart. The best-case scenario? Her condition stays stable, and she lives a normal, happy life without any medical intervention,” the shelter said. “If her heart worsens, she may need medication or even a specialized surgery.”

The shelter is calling out for potential adopters who will love and cherish Crepe no matter what and said that her personality and love will not be overshadowed by her condition.

“Despite her diagnosis, you’d never know there’s anything different about her,” the shelter said. “Crepe is a joyful, silly, snuggly pup who adores attention, plays like any other puppy, and wins over every person she meets. She’s proof that even the smallest hearts can hold the most love.”
