var switchTo5x=false;stLight.options({publisher:'56e40c2a-2928-4a92-9903-c88366473aa8'}); If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a pre-adoption application.  Have a question? Please read our Frequently Asked Questions and Adoption Processed Explained documentation. _________ B I O ______________  Name: Karlach Size: Large range: 61-100 lbs  Adoption Donation:&#226&#128&#175$250 (applicable sales tax included) &#226&#128&#175Adoption fees may be paid by cash or check.&#226&#128&#175  Other:&#226&#128&#175&#226&#128&#175Spayed Female, Vaccinations current, Microchip, Dog-Selective  **  Karlach qualifies for our Seniors for Seniors Program. This program places senior dogs (age 8 or older) with senior citizens (age 65 or older) at a reduced adoption fee of $65.00. If you qualify and are interested in participating in this program, please fill out an application online and type "SENIOR" after your name.   **   Karlach has been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is a common hormone imbalance in dogs and is usually caused by inflammation or shrinkage of the thyroid gland. This progressive destruction of the gland leads to diminished thyroid function and insufficient levels of thyroid hormones. She is on daily medication to manage this. The cost is about $23 a month. **   Because of her history of being untreated, she would benefit from a daily skin support supplement, like a fish oil and super EPA. This is over the counter. She is a senior lady, and a large breed dog, she would benefit from a joint supplement daily, like Dasaquin. This is over the counter. **  Karlach has lenticular sclerosis. Lenticular sclerosis is the medical term for a bluish/white, transparent haze that develops in the lens of the eye in middle-aged to senior dogs. It is considered a normal change in the lens associated with aging and is observed as a cloudiness or bluish discoloration on the pupil. Vision does not appear to be significantly affected in dogs diagnosed with lenticular sclerosis. This condition is not the same as cataracts. Cataracts are  opaque white and represent a change in the ability of light to penetrate to the retina causing diminished vision. **  Dog Selective (liking some dogs but not others) Karlach is waiting for someone to take her home to make their home a better place   Foster Home Feedback  ** Dog Selective 06/22/2024 Foster Feedback: Karlach is doing great! With her diet, medications and supplements, she is down 15lbs, her thyroid levels are great, her skin is looking great, fur is regrowing, and she's even feeling good enough to run. We found this old lady loves fetch! We have a bin full of tennis balls that she loves to dig through to find just the right one. She even sleeps with her tennis ball. She walks great on a leash with an EZ harness. We're still working on riding in the car nicely, but she enjoys the fresh air when she does. She does take medicated baths every two weeks for her skin. We've got a lickmat suctioned to the bathtub wall that keeps her happy and occupied while we wash and scrub her. She's even started hopping in the tub willingly because she knows it's treat time! A bonus to her thin fur is that she dries quickly!   Karlach is still very much a trash dog, so we are working on getting her kennel trained. We have learned to lock up the dog food, as she has figured out how to open doors with door knobs. Smart girl! If anything, she's trained US to keep our house tidy, so there's nothing to get into.  She gets along with with our feral chihuahuas, and smaller dogs haven't been an issue. But she would benefit from slow intros to new dogs, especially at her own house. Most of the time, she doesn't care about the dogs, only the new people!   She is very much enjoying her retirement life, and really loves a comfy dog bed or couch to lounge on. She loves stuffed toys and attacking the squeaker. She would make a great companion for someone looking for a lower-energy pal, who still enjoys walks and throwing a ball for her to casually fetch. She loves just hanging out in the backyard with us and loves basking in the sun.   Overall, she's a great old lady. Apply today for your new best pal!  3/15/24 Foster Feedback: Meet Karlach (car-lack)! She's a senior lab who, like most of us who are aging, has some thyroid issues. Because of this, she has an almost completely bare belly and tail, and thinning hair. She has it well managed with a reasonable-cost medication. She also takes skin and joint supplements, as she is aging gracefully. It doesn't make her any less lovable though! She is also currently overweight, but we are working hard to get her to a healthy weight.  Karlach is a big lover and has discovered the benefits of couch snuggles. She is potty trained, and knows sit, stay, and shake. We're still working on leash skills and traveling in the car, but a little patience and routine will definitely help. She loves being outside. We have a large, fenced-in backyard that she loves to run around and frolic in the snow. We have not kenneled her, but she does fine in a closed bedroom while we're gone. We have discovered she is a trash dog and loves to counter-surf, which is why she is contained while we're gone. Karlach sleeps on a dog bed in our bedroom at night, and does just fine! She has an adorable howl she lets out when she's excited. I love coming home and being greeted this way.    Karlach would love a comfy retirement home. She mostly sleeps all day, but has her moments of energy. She does great with our small dogs, and has been iffy with bigger dogs. She lived with cats before coming into rescue. She's a great old gal who will be a great dog for someone looking for a calmer companion. To view additional dogs available for adoption, please see our website: www.4luvofdog.org October 4, 2024, 11:19 pm

A Guide to Resource Guarding in Dogs."   Rigatoni is on a weight loss journey   Foster Home Feedback  9/27/24 Foster Feedback: Rigatoni has been doing great on his weight loss journey. We know he is under 100 lbs. He is such a happy tail-wagger that it was hard to get him to sit for long on the scale, but when he did, we only saw two numbers! Rigatoni recently had a birthday, turning 7 years old! On his most recent outing he walked down the runway at the Blu Water Creek Bash. He did an excellent job and enjoyed receiving loads of attention from the models!  Rigatoni hasn’t shown any resource guarding incidents lately. He does really well with redirection.  He is still is a cuddle bug and couch potato!  Foster Feedback 5/10/24: We’ve had Rigatoni since 3/24 and he’s adjusted well to our household - still working on shedding some weight. He is a silly, goofy boy with perpetual happy tail. Rigatoni loves attention & pets.  He knows sit and come and is working on stay.  He kennels well, and loves his ball or any toy he can hold in his mouth. Rigatoni is the Goodest boy! Foster Feedback 3/23/24:  Big Rig!  Such a lovely dog.  He is cat, big, and little dog friendly.  He is crated trained and didn’t have one accident.  He doesn’t jump, but he is overweight right now, so not sure if that will change.  He is so sweet, just followed me around. He went out by himself to go potty in my fenced yard.   We went for a walk and he is a big pup, so he can be strong, but with a front hook harness, he did well.  I have not heard him bark, but he gets these little mumbles when he is excited to see you. Rigatoni is a gem, if you are looking for a happy black bear, he is your pup.  **   Rigatoni is anaplasmosis and lyme positive. These are tick-borne illnesses, and he is currently being treated with Doxycycline.
