Meet Lucky.
Lucky is a 10-year-old female Golden Retriever, who comes from a loving home that found the cost of a senior dog with some health problems to be more than they could afford.
Lucky has allergies and a thyroid condition that requires medications, special food and veterinary monitoring. Right now she has a skin and ear infections that require antibiotics, a medicated ear wash and a medicated shampoo to clear up, along with her thyroid medication and diphenhydramine she takes every day. Lucky also weighs 88 pounds which is about 20 pounds overweight so we are giving her daily walks and have her on a diet.
That being said, Lucky is a pure “Love Bug” who loves everyone she meets. She immediately fit into our daily routine and gets along great with our two resident dogs. She likes humans of all ages and will seek them out for attention. We have had her almost 2 weeks and she has been a perfect houseguest. She has a laid-back energy level but when on her walks will pull hard when using a flat collar. She walks perfectly on a Gentle Leader Harness once she got used to it. She sleeps on the floor in our bedroom or in the hallway right outside of it. She has no problems being left for the work day and respects baby gates we use to keep the dogs in areas we want them to be in.
Lucky’s needs in a forever home:
- A fenced yard, Lucky has always lived in a fenced yard and we feel that would be best for her.
- Lucky could live in a home with or without other dogs.
- Lucky should not live with cats. We where told that she was OK with cats, but she has chased and barked at our neighbor’s cats when they have ventured into our yard.
- Lucky loves humans of all sizes but because of her size we would recommend children be over the age of 5.
- Someone willing to make sure she gets her daily medications and sees the veterinarian regularly to monitor her thyroid levels.
- Lucky needs her daily walks to help her regain her girlish figure so she can live out her golden years as healthy and comfortably as possible.
