Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Fancy has had a horrible life, chained in a abandon home in Flint for the first four years of her life. Bred over and over, no one home to comfort her or put heat in the house. No lights or electricity, long dark winter days alone, long hot summer days alone in a boarded up house. Food often out of reach as water often frozen. It took the nerve of a 68 year old woman who caught sight of what was going on. She waited in her car to catch the man who would come unbolt the door, throw in food and leave again, sometimes taking out young pups with him. She approached him, he was four times her size. Confronted him, gave him $100 bill and convinced him to let her go in the back door and save this nameless girl from her misery. She had to scale a fence in the back of the home, only to find her chained to a wall with a thick chain and wire wrapped around her neck. She had to leave her there go find someone brave enough to go in with a wire cutters and cut her free. This dog came out with wires, chains and all since it couldn't be removed from her neck. That was last fall. We've had her since. She's had heartworm and unfortunately irresponsible fosters who have not followed through with her scheduled surgeries and she's finally well enough and long past due to get fixed. She desperately needs a family who will love her, let her be the only dog in the home because she wasn't really socialized with other pets in her long brush with loneliness but she's on the mend. Now accustom to having someone home most of the time, she's a snuggler, loves running in the yard and going for long walks. She needs someone with a nice even keeled aura and she's been crate trained in case you have to go out shopping she doesn't mind being in the crate for a few hours. She'd be fine with a underground fence or radio fence outside as well. We named her Fancy, because she came from nothing, not even a name, and she's been abused and bred and her young pups stolen away from her time and time again. And all she wants is to love you and receive that love back. She'd be best with someone who has some experience handling dogs and needs a best friend in this cold, often cruel world. Call or text me at 517 294 4514 if you think Fancy sounds like the kind of soul you could lose your heart to. She's not a bad drooler either. email me at marlas2468@yahoo.com She can deal with kids as far as visiting like grand kids but she's not going to be great living with little kids. Older kids, no problem.
