Look at this adorable face!!!  I would like to introduce a sweetheart of a dog to you....her name is RED.  She is approximately 8 years old and such a wonderful dog.  She was given up by her owner as he had to move into an apartment.  She came from a home where she was living with another dog and a cat. 

RED went to the vet yesterday and had the "Top Dog" special.  She got fully vaccinated and even got a bath.  She weighed in at 56 pounds and could probably stand to lose about 5 pounds.  Everyone at the vet clinic said she was such a sweetie and has such a great disposition.  The vet did tell me that she has 2 mammory tumors that need to be removed (he doesn't think they are cancerous).  They will be removed when she goes in for her surgery to get spayed.  She also has a pretty nasty ear infection that we are treating pretty aggressively.

She met our 4 resident dogs with no problems whatsoever.  She is almost always wagging her tail.  She also met my 3 year old daughter and she has been officially "kid tested" as she has been hugged several times by my daughter and she just soaks up the attention. 

RED is truly a wonderful dog.  She will go to another foster home on Easter so look for more updates on what a terrific dog she is.  She won't be available for adoption until she recovers from getting the tumors removed and getting spayed.

Red arrived last night after a short transport from her first foster. Thank you KM!   

Today we took Red to the vet and had an Xray done to make sure that if the tumors are cancerous that it had no spread.  The Xray does not show any concern at all.  Thursday Red will go into to be spayed and have the tumors removed.  I will update on her condition when I hear from the vet after her surgery. 

A few more things on Red.  Red has been here for one day and I can tell you she is one of the sweetest dogs I have ever met.  She is very laid back an slept in a kennel in my room last night with no problem.  She is having a little trouble eating hard dog food, but will eat soft food.  This could be from not having eaten hard dog food before, or from simply eating table scraps.  We are working on mixing her food to get her to enjoy hard dog food.  She walks WONDERFULLY on a leash.  She does not pull, and if she gets to the end of a long leash she will sit down and wait patiently for you to catch up.  She was not housebroken when she came into foster care but she has not had a single accident since she got here.  She is for sure a smart girl who loves attention and will make one lucky family very happy.  She may be 8 years old and classified as senior but she has the spirit of a young dog and always will!  If you are looking for a young at heart dog with a great disposition who is happy snuggling and taking a long walk then this is the girl for you!  

 
A big smile for my new family - I am waiting!
