Poco !
(Female,
2 - 3 yrs, med-large)
Poco
came into the care of Big Heart Rescue after being hit by a car in a remote
community. Thankfully when she arrived into our arms and was taken to the vets
there was no major damage and no bones were broken. She is now on antibiotics
for "road rash", has been de-wormed and de-fleaed. At her next vet visit she
will have her vaccinations and microchip inserted.
We estimate that Poco is between 2 and 3 years of age, is spayed and simply a delightful girl. She is thought to be a mixture of German Shepherd and Husky who is slightly smaller than an average Shepherd.
This is what Poco's foster Mom has to say about her:
At
home here she is great, today she wanted to play with the other dogs, we all
went on a walk together, she's wonderful on leash, and knows her name, will come
when called sometimes. She will sit and wait to have her leash put on and taken
off, hasn't had any accidents in the house. She loves to be brushed and is very
talkative, and grumbles in her sleep quite a bit. She is learning "leave it"
but that's a tough one when there's something to roll in!
I think the ideal home for her would have some kids, she loves them, and another dog to play with and help boost her confidence in new situations. She'll be fine with cats as long as they don't run! She is a super sweet and gentle and affectionate dog, and we're starting to see some goofiness.
Someone is going to be very lucky to add her to their family.
Update: May 28th
Poco is adjusting so well to her new life in her foster home we just can't believe it!
She is a kind and gentle dog with children as you can see by her picture.
This beautiful girl has a ton of energy and would like an active family who will take her to training classes so she can learn excellent recall and then run the beaches, trails and streams.
