Tessa, 3 years Female Labrador Retriever
|
|
Update: it's hard to believe, but Tessa has an adoption in progress. A woman who had a dog with the same health issues is going to adopt her! Woo Hoo! We are still doing a fund raiser for Tessa as her latest tests were very expensive.
Tessa is a young purebred yellow lab who was given up by her owner
because of her history with skin problems resulting from allergies. They
worked with a vet who never told them about the corn allergies to which
labs are prone and she was on a corn-based diet. She may have some other
allergies as well, but we're working to figure out a diet that works
well for her. We're looking for a forever home for her where the owner
will keep a close eye on her and keep her on the diet that works for her.
She is such a sweet Lab who just loves to play and romp. She's not
overly physical with people because being held makes her scratch right
now, but she has a sweet disposition and loves people. Just being in the
same room with you or lying at your feet makes her a very content dog.
She's completely housetrained, with no destructive behavior and no
counter surfing or going into the trash. She stays near you when you are
outdoors and just loves to play ball. She also loves playing with her
foster mom's dogs, and does not seem to be dog or cat aggressive. She
does have some separation anxiety issues though, and would probably do
best in a home with people around who'll give her the love and attention
she craves.
