Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Sky is estimated to be about a 2 year old lab mix who was found as a stray in Texas with a bullet above her wrist. Once the bullet was removed, she was sent to us where she was in a split for a couple weeks to try to help her leg heal, but ultimately the vets decided amputation was best.
Sky is doing great after her surgery. We actually can’t believe how well she is getting along on three legs! She loves going for walks, belly scratches, and sleeping in bed. She is your typical lab, very playful and energetic at times (you would never know she was missing a limb) and then she crashes and likes to nap on blankets and the couch. She is kennel trained, and mostly potty trained. She does great with other dogs all sizes, and is learning to be around cats. She is very smart and trainable. We can tell she has once had an owner because she gets very excited when we get the leash out to go for walks.
Sky does need a few minutes to warm up to humans, she’s timid at first but then she will love you. She could benefit from basic training but she deserves the best home where people will show her love and attention she deserves.
If you’re looking for a best friend who won’t leave your side, follow you to the bathroom, and sleep right next to you, Sky is your girl.
Sky will do best with older calm kids.All adoptions are $300 per dog for puppies under 1 year, $250 for adults 1 - 9 years old and $150 for senior dogs which include spay/neuter, micro-chipped and up-to-date on required shots.
Senior dogs, at our discretion, are adopted out at $150 per dog because we know they will have less time with your family and may eventually have more needs as they get older. But we feel these dogs deserve to live out the rest of their lives as part of a loving family.
