When they first noticed the pregnant black Lab, a married couple was very concerned about how thin the mom-to-be appeared. The Lab was also very apprehensive of the couple, even tho they began to leave her bowls of food. They also provided the expecting mom a safe, comfortable place to deliver her litter of nine puppies. The couple then contacted our rescue and offered to foster the pups if we could find them homes. We gladly agreed but first had to administer the required vaccinations and de-wormings to the puppies.
While the pups had a nice, safe place to stay, a medical issue arose with the woman at the home that required surgery and limited the time that the couple could interact with the puppies. Potential adopters should understand that this litter may need a little additional adjustment time once in a home.
Rita may be the most reserved and timid of this litter, but that doesn't mean she won't bond very well with you and become much more outgoing. She does love playing with other dogs and getting belly rubs, which is how our staff was able to win her over. She's truly a great pup who just needs a little patience and understanding to become one very exceptional dog. The presence of another dog in the home and having limited commotion will greatly benefit Rita in her transition into her new home.
Rita has now received all three of her first year "puppy" vaccinations, including her rabires and Bordetella vaccinations. She's also been de-wormed at proper intervals and has been started on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. Her adopter must agree to having Rita spay once she reaches 6 months old and provide verification to SoCo Rescue. Rita will require all of her basic training.
