Story
Lady Bird is a four-year-old, 55-pound lab mix that deserved better than she got. She lived with her owner inside the home for her first year, but someone with cats moved in, and Lady Bird began to chase and play with them. They bought a 10' x 10' kennel for the yard, and she has been there for the last three years. To make matters worse, she had no shelter other than a piece of blue tarp tied in the corner that didn't even block the rain, much less protect her from the cold, until a couple of months ago, the neighbor begged animal control to make them get a dog house for her. One of the neighbors decided they wanted to adopt her and took her to the vet, but when they found out she had heartworms, they no longer wanted her. The vet called us to see if we could help her. We thought we had a foster for her, but they fell through, so her big rescue turned into a small kennel at the vet, where she had been for two weeks. She is understandably nervous about all the scary new things, and we would love to find a quiet foster home where we can learn more about her and hopefully find a forever home. We promised her a better life when we took her in. Can someone step up to foster her so that we can find her a forever home? If you can help, please email info@atlantalabrescue.com.
FROM THE FOSTER: The foster said Lady Bird is her "heart dog." She has fostered 34 dogs in the past year, and said that she "loves more" than any dog that she has had. She is also super smart, loves prancing in the backyard and sitting in the sun. During the day, while she is working, Lady Bird lies on the couch or at her feet and doesn't make a peep. She will tell you when she needs to go out, snores at night and walks well with a harness. There is a home out there somewhere for Lady Bird and if not the foster said she would take her back to foster in a couple of weeks, if needed. If you would like to foster to adopt, please go to www.atlantalabrescue.com to fill out an application, or to foster, even just for a couple of weeks, please email us at info@atlantalabrescue.com
