Lacy 06-289 [1]

6/27/06: Lacy has made the long journey to northern Minnesota. She was an owner surrender to the shelter in Rapid City, SD. She will stay here until she has had her pups and they are old enough to leave their Mom. She is a beautiful little Golden Retriever, that on some days looks like she is all Golden and on other days looks like she could have a little bit of Spaniel in her. Lacy is somewhat shy and timid, she closes her eyes and lowers her head when you reach to pet her - which is usually an indication of being hit by a human. Lacy was surrendered by her owner but her owner only had her for a few months and then had to give her up because she was moving and could not take her along. Her owner thought she had come from an abusive situation.

I don't know how anyone could be cruel to this sweet, gentle, little girl. She will soon be a mama - the vet expects her to deliver in the next week or two. Lacy is going on 6 years old, too old to be having puppies. Lacy has not disclosed who her boyfriend was so we will just have to wait and see what the puppies look like. After Lacy has her pups, she will need to be spayed and have one of her teeth pulled, then she will be looking for a home where she will be loved and cared for the rest of her years.
