Ivy Holiday *LOCAL* needs a caretaker or foster! Won't you consider helping her get a new start?
Age: 5 Months (as of 3/13/18)
Weight: 28 lbs (as of 4/6/18)
Location: RI
This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Ivy Holiday is a friendly, playful little girl, with the sweetest-looking face! She is the only girl of the three pups in this beautiful Holiday litter! They appear to be a Labrador Retriever mix about 5 months old. They have not been house trained, are working on crate training, and need more work on leash walking since in their eagerness, they tend to pull. They are each eager to please and treat motivated, so obedience classes will be great fun! Besides getting in some quality bonding time together, you'll get to learn lots of cool stuff and your pup will continue her socialization with new dogs and people, and build more confidence. Ivy tends to be a little nervous in new places so this would help her. She would love a yard to run and play in, but if that's not in the cards then daily leash walks and opportunities to play off-leash in a dog park will do just fine. And to exercise that puppy brain, think puzzle toys and games. These three are typical puppies - they love toys, attention, wrestling with each other and playing, playing, playing! They're great with other dogs, have not been introduced to kitty cats, and have been interested and friendly with the children they've met. Puppies are a big commitment, but with time, patience and consistency, they grow into wonderful best friends forever.
Ivy can't wait to find her very own forever humans to play and pal around with. If you're looking for a super best friend, fill out an application today! Don't keep this beautiful young lady waiting!
The Holiday Litter Backstory: Mom and her 4-day-old litter were rescued from a poverty situation where there were over 40 dogs.
Medical Note: This litter is "visually suspected" of being positive for demodectic mange and has been preventatively treated and currently shows no symptoms of demodectic mange. Please note that demodex can have a hereditary component and/or flare up in any dog in times of stress (e.g., transport, transition to a new home, change in food, etc.). As such, the adopter is advised to discuss this condition and best next steps with their veterinarian. SOS recommends that dogs with a personal or family history of demodectic mange be kept on regular NexGard or Bravecto for flea/tick prevention for at least 3 months after adoption or until 18 months of age. Please see here for more information on demodectic mange: http://www.vcahospitals.com/main/pet-health-information/article/animal-health/mange-demodectic-in-dogs/741 . Please check with your vet if you should have any questions or concerns about this condition, and discuss any concerns you may have with your SOS Adoption Counselor. Adoption Fee: $550
