My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Lady is a happy, 10 1/2 year old Dobie. She's black/rust with cropped ears. She's friendly, outgoing, gets along well with most other dogs and loves people. She's also very housetrained, knows basic obedience and is very well behaved in the house (other than an occasional checking out of what goodies might lie on the kitchen counter... ) Lady came to DAR&E the product of divorce. According to her records she's been overweight most her life, even topping out at 95 pounds at one time!!!! She's on a diet/exercise program and is losing weight and feeling much better, but the resulting damage of carrying that excess weight has been done to Lady's joints. She has arthritis, the worst of which is in her knees. As the weight comes off and the joint supplements kick in, along with regular gentle exercise, you can see her moving/getting up much better, but care to manage her arthritic aches and pains will be necessary. Right now a buffered aspirin seems to really be helping. Lady is very affectionate, loving and loves to cuddle! She's looking for a retirement home with someone who will love her and enjoy this happy senior in her golden years.
