Story
Pamela is ready to begin the search for her forever home! Pamela was surrendered to us when her owner became worried she was too old to be on the ranch anymore. We would love to tell you how old she is, but we are unsure. The person who surrendered her said she was 14. The vet records that came with her say 17. And our vet who examined her says somewhere around 10-12. After getting to know her, we agree with the vet. This girl has life to live and love to give. During her intake exam we discovered that Pamela was heartworm positive. (Please make sure your pets are on preventives. Mosquitos do get inside.) She has received treatment and has tested negative! Pamela requests that her next home have outdoor space where she can lounge all day. We do not know if it's from the ranch life, but this girl LOVES to be outside. For the first 2 months in her foster home, her mom had to pick her up and bring her inside at the end of day. While she now knows that inside is comfortable, most days she hangs out in the yard in her chair. Pamela loves to snuggle and will sometimes surprise you by jumping right up in your lap without warning. We think she would do fine as an only pup or with one or 2 pups for company. If she does go to a home with other pups, they will need to be confident and not startled by Pamela sitting and watching them eat. For some reason she will often just sit very close to one of the other dogs and just watch them eat (picture included). She has never tried to take the food and she's not overbearing about it, but we could see where a pup might not be comfortable being watched? If you are interested in adding Pamela to your family and you have ample outdoor space for lounging?, please fill out an application on our website. Learn more about me and fill out an online adoption application on the From the Heart Rescue website at: www.fthar.org. My requested adoption donation includes my spay/neuter, age appropriate vaccinations and medical care to date, microchip implantation and registration, collar, leash, and ID tag. If Im not exactly what you want, please visit my other friends in rescue at From The Heart Rescue on our website at www.fthar.org.
