SWEETPEA & BRITT - URGENT 6 MTHS IN BOARDING! - BULLMASTIFF / LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Bullmastiff / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). The dogs Arcadia Animal Rescue saves are mainly located in southern states, such as NC, SC, TN and TX. We can transport to most states, through partner networks. Virtual meet n greets can be arranged for all non-local adopters. **Urgent - In Boarding now for 6 mths, need loving home ASAP!** Meet Britt & Sweetpea! These sweet dogs were both in imminent danger, for no reason other than they hadn’t found homes and had been boarding at a vet’s office for MONTHS. They were about to be sent to the local shelter (overcrowded kill-shelter) because the vet couldn’t keep them there indefinitely. That would have been a tragedy and we couldn’t let that happen, so we stepped in. They are both WONDERFUL, SWEET dogs and must be adopted out together. Sweetpea (dark), believed to be at least 5 y/o, has had a very rough life. She was found wandering through a mall parking lot in really bad shape. She was emaciated and heartworm positive, really beaten up. It’s easy to tell that she’s been bred many times. Her right eye is defective but does not need to be removed as per the vet. We think she does not have vision out of the eye, but it is not bothering her medically. SweetPea may be a homely-looking girl but is VERY loving and gentle and great with all dogs and people! Sweetpea might be a Lab/Staff mix. She met and bonded with another girl at the vet named Britt, about the same size and another GREAT dog, like Sweetpea. Britt (tan), believed to be about 3 yrs old, has also had a rough life. Found wandering along the side of a road, the vet took her in, nursed her back to health. Possibly a mastiff/bully mix. Sweetpea and Britt had been waiting at the vet's clinic together for months and became quite bonded. They are both VERY LAID BACK, gentle, loving, good with everyone and everything (although Britt does not seem fond of very, very small dogs). Both have tested well with cats! They may not be much to look at, though we think they are both absolutely gorgeous and very special. This bonded pair will give you no problems and lots of joy!! PLEASE consider opening your heart and home to these two that have had such a rough life and have fought so hard to survive the horrors they have faced, yet are still so incredibly loving. WE CANNOT LET THEM DOWN! To apply to adopt, click on .arcadiarescue/application. If the pet you applied for is no longer available, .arcadiarescue/adopt to see all of our available pets. Note: Some pups are in boarding facilities in order to save their lives. This is far from ideal, they really need to be in loving homes. Due to record number owner surrenders this year, we have zero foster homes available. Fostering helps save another pup from euthanasia in an overcrowded kill shelter needing to free up a kennel. If you can foster, go to .arcadiarescue/foster and fill out a foster application. Thank you!
