Here's what the humans have to say about me:
LOOKING FOR FOSTER HOME OR ADOPTER
Hi. My name is Rachel, and I am in search of my perfect fit of a human or family. You see, I have been let down over and over again. I was one of three sisters that were dumped at a rural high kill shelter. My sisters, Phoebe and Monica, have been adopted now, and I am awaiting my turn. Because I am a beautiful dog, many say that they want to adopt me, but I need more than a person that likes to look at how pretty I am. I am looking for a human that knows that every relationship is a work in progress, and because of my harsh start to life, I have some trust and confidence issues.
While I want love, I also need a strong leader. I get nervous in new situations, meeting new dogs and people, but if my human helps me with slow introductions, I do great once I know that new people coming into my house and other dogs are not going to cause me or my human harm. That is probably why I love kids so much....I feel like I can trust them from the start. My forever human will be able to provide structure and consistency and be my advocate by not throwing me into situations that I am uncomfortable in.
I walk well on leash, and I do sit and shake....in fact, I do love to use by paws to communicate. I am not a fan of the crate...at all. My ideal home would probably be someone who is a home body, where I can lay contently by their side, go on walks or runs, or lay by their feet while they work from home. I would make an excellent constant companion for someone that desires that closeness. Because I can be protective over my human and my human's home, I wouldn't fit in well with a social butterfly that likes to have lots of new people coming to the house all the time. Some steady friends coming over is fine....in fact, I actually love humans...just need to be comfortable with them first.
I am searching for my forever family...one that will accept and love me, and help me be the best dog I can be with something that I haven't had in my young life...security. They say that anything worthwhile is worth the wait.....I am waiting...are you the family I am destined to be with? Will you find me soon?
Rachel is a lab mix, estimated DOB is 10/3/15 and weighs 60 pounds. She has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed.
For more information on our adoption process, please visit our website at www.youluckydogrescue.org and read our Adoption FAQ's and Before You Adopt documents. In addition you can complete an online adoption application from our website. You can also email info@youluckydogrescue.org for additional details.
Our adoption fee is $300 and includes all age appropriate vaccines, spay or neuter and microchipping. The breed and age included in this listing is based upon the opinion of a vet that has examined the dog. We cannot confirm the age of the dog unless the dog was born in the care of the rescue. We are located in the metro Atlanta area. We currently do not allow out of state adoptions as a home check is required as part of the adoption process
