SEE ME SUNDAY ~ OVER 2 years in rescue 💔 Lois.
3.5 year old shepherd cross lab
Lois is a dog who has been through more then she should have in her 3.5 years of life. We gave her a few months to settle in and decompress after where she came from. Shes been posted as available for over 2 years now.
But not one application :(
Lois is one of the dogs that Sato Saved End of the Line, got through the help of Mattie's Place after they convinced owner Shawn Bacher to surrender most of his dogs from "all for the dogs rescue".
Shawn was severely neglecting her and brother Clark along with many other dogs 💔 animal welfare did nothing. Property owners were shocked by what he was doing. Dogs living in cages for weeks. Sleeping in their own urine and f***s. Non stop barking for weeks. Dog fights. Being starved and dehydrated.
Clark had a lot more baggage and Sato had to separate them ultimately for Lois to have the best chance at adoption.
They were originally adooted out as a bonded littermate pair from hillside kennels that were struggling to get adopted due to no leash skills and unruly puppy behaviors like jumping up. They grew up on a farm being taken care of by immigrants who left in the fall leaving them scrounging for food.
They never fought, were very cuddly with each other and were almost chubby when they left the kennel.
The farmer called them in as strays but they were very affectionate for strays. Finding out the story after the fact. They loved each other.
Until Shawn got them...
When they returned they faught over food and wouldn't sleep on the same bed. Lois was skittish and hiding. Evidence of being attacked, scars all around her ears and neck..
Clark almost cost Lois an eye the 2nd day back.. They clearly weren't bonded anymore.
After all she had been through the last thing Sato Saved wanted was for her to end up back in a shelter, so she joined the rescue just before Christmas.. She has been in paid boarding then foster homes since then.
Lois is a very sweet dog who leans in for pets and wants to be with her person.
She is dog selective and can be reactive on her lead. Shes nervous more then anything.
She is not good with cats. If they're super dog savvy she will tolerate them under supervision.
She is good with children who are respectful. Suggested age 10+ just because she is a larger dog that jumps up when excited.
Her ideal home has a fenced yard. She would do best with an assertive but more laid back male dog. She has made friends with playful young females too. No small breeds or pocket pets.
She's a little nervous in the vehicle, she is fine for bathing but doesn't enjoy her nails clipped and needs a muzzle to keep it smooth. She can resource guard toys with other dogs which is why she's likely best on her own- or a dog savvy owner.
Lois would thrive on a farm or in a country home. City hussle and bussle isn't really her thing- that said she is really adaptable.
She doesn't "need" leash walks or dog friends. She's happy to live in a home that throws the ball for her in the yard everyday
She needs someone devoted to her forever- she doesn't ever want to bounce around again!
Her last foster tried setting her up for success but then bailed on her after forming a bond and it took her a good 3 weeks to adjust to her current foster home 😞
Lois is heartworm tested negative, on prevention, fully vaccinated, microchipped, Spayed, crate trained. House broken. She needs work on heeling and would benefit greatly from an obedience course if expected to walk on leash walks regularly.
Her adoption fee is $350.
If you sign up for post adoption training they will lower her adoption fee to $200
She comes with a leash and martingale collar, harness, food and some toys. Can provide a crate if needed as well.
