Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Are you senior dog savvy? Home most of them time? Curly Jane, or Carly as her foster family calls her, may be the girl for you! 12-year-old Carly is friendly girl that loves her people so much she prefers to be with them as much as possible. If you work from home or are retired, she would love to be your companion.
She came to us after her elderly owners went into a nursing home, and she faced euthanasia as there was no one else to take her. A concerned acquittance intervened and reached out to us, and we took her into the rescue.
Curly Jane's owners loved her dearly - we have vet paperwork from her exams every year, and she is getting the best kind of dog food. We believe she also got some table scraps and a bit too much food, so she ended up very overweight. Weighing in on 25 pounds, he needs to lose at least 7 more pounds, so we are looking for an adopter that can take her on several small walks a day as she builds up endurance. She also needs her food measured out, and her foster family has worked to stop her begging for table scraps. An adopter absolutely must commit to continue her weight loss journey with her - all that extra weight is making her arthritis worse and making her heart have to work extra hard. She is eager to exercise - she wants to go on walks and even runs sometimes! We want her to live the best quality of life possible.
She is fixed, microchipped, current on vaccinations, had full bloodwork, and will have a dental cleaning done by our vet prior to adoption.
For more information on Carly, please email tysonsplacerescue@gmail.com.
