Vetting: Beauty is in perfect health! She was in heat when caught, so we will need to wait 6-8 weeks to have her spayed. Otherwise, she is up to date on her vetting. **She has not yet been heartworm tested**
Beauty is being fostered in Delhi Ontario.
Beauty
Adoption Pending
Sex: Female
Birthdate: April, 2022
Breed: Shepherd Mix
Weight: 75lbs
Beauty was running at large for at least 3 months before being caught. Although she does not seem like it, she is a flight risk since coming in care. We are being cautious and not giving her opportunities where she could get off leash.
We are fairly confident that with time, training and relationship building, this girl could be an off leash candidate however, unless she sticks around in rescue for a long time, we will not be testing this.
First impressions:
Dogs: Needs proper intros still working on building up confidence and socialization, but can co-exist with patience and time.
