Here's what the humans have to say about me:
SQUEAKY is a 1 year old spayed black female Lab who weighs 33 pounds. Squeaky is good with other dogs. Squeaky has always lived with other dogs so she must be placed in a home with another experienced dog to guide her and give her confidence. Squeaky needs a patient family to slowly introduce her to new things and provide loving, gentle encouragement. She's a very sweet, petite, shy girl. Cats are unknown. Squeaky comes from the country and has no exposure to big cities. Placement is limited to single family stand alone homes in suburban neighborhoods or rural areas. We have no history of Squeaky living with children, Squeaky is approved for kids ages 10+.
Update : Squeaky continues to do great in her foster home. Squeaky walks around with a smile on her face and her tail is constantly wagging. She loves to snuggle and be petted. She enjoys the company of our two labs. They are often romping around or sleeping next to each other. She is calm and not a "barker". Squeaky is good on the leash and is easy to walk. We can't believe she has not been adopted yet! She is such a sweetie!
Update: Squeaky continues to do well. She has a WONDERFUl temperament. Very happy , gentle, and sweet. She is s very easy dog to foster. Her tail is always wagging whether she is with my family or just hanging out with our dogs. Squeaky is doing great walking on her leash. She doesn't pull and is very comfortable walking around the neighborhood. She barely barks. We finally heard some squeaks from her on Saturday. Squeaky loves romping in the snow, too!
Update: Squeaky is doing well. She was hesitant at first to interact with anyone in our home, but she has definitely warmed up. She did a lot of hiding in her crate for most of yesterday but is now more comfortable in the house. We gave her a bath and she loved the attention.
From the evaluator: "Squeaky was nervous, tail-wagging most of the time but not sure what activity or commotion to pay attention to moment to moment. I went in the cage with her, knelt down, and she made several approaches to me with only a little reservation, allowed me to pet her no problem, then returned to the far side of the cage. She is friendly, did not cower or crouch at all, just a bit overwhelmed."
From the transporter: Squeaky was very timid and a bit overwhelmed with all the new and scary things she experienced today. She rode very quietly in the crate. Even though she was clearly stressed, she was such a sweetheart, and very courageous. Squeaky is a cute, petite girl with very soft fur. With a patient and loving family, she will blossom!
Squeaky was surrendered with Solo and another dog from a hoarding situation. The ACO believes the couple had about 15 dogs. The ACO was not legally able to confiscate the dogs because they outwardly appeared "healthy", had access to food and water, and had "the best dog house in Pocahontas County". The dogs lived inside a dilapidated school house with the couple and, therefore, had the required "3 walls and a roof" for shelter. Despite the extremely unsanitary conditions (feces covering the floors, stench, debris), no other agencies (human welfare) took action because it was deemed the couple "were of their right mind" and not endangering any other humans. The man previously surrendered dogs who were very timid and not socialized but quite sweet.
