Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This northern beauty has a personality that shines through. She loves other dogs and humans alike and has gotten along well with everyone she's met. She walks fairly well on her leash and is good in the car. She likes to go into the local pet shop and walk the aisles - I think we have a shopper on our hands! She has not exhibited any signs of separation anxiety when left alone with her fur siblings and seems to not be the least bit concerned with loud noises like thunder or the vacuum cleaner. She loves stuffed kongs, chew toys and playing outside in her fenced backyard. Oh and did someone say food? That's one of her favourite things which is part of the reason we think she's likely part lab (and part husky). A true northern, she likes to dig and lay in the 'ditch' she is so proud of making. She does mouth a bit but never to bite. This is something that her adopter will need to continue to work on though she's improving already.
Daughter would love another dog in the family she could play with. She does love to engage and has even been able to rouse one of her current fur siblings who wasn't so sure at the beginning. They are often seen playing in the yard or curled up beside each other.
Upon examination by our veterinarian upon intake, they noticed an abnormality in her left leg. X-rays were conducted and it was concluded that as a puppy she clearly had experienced some kind of trauma. As a result, she sustained a fracture to the growth plate of her femur that was not tended to and her left femur is a bit shorter than the right. Her kneecap also appears permanently displaced laterally. She does not experience any pain at all and is compensating extremely well. To ensure she remains pain free she will need to remain on joint supplements for the balance of her life to prevent and manage any arthritis that could potentially come her way.
If you think you would like to welcome this angel into your family, please complete and submit our adoption application.
