FEATHER - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / ANATOLIAN SHEPHERD / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Anatolian Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat). Forever home wanted, meet beautiful Feather. Feather was brought into the Lancaster shelter on April 4th as a stray with 6 puppies that appeared to be about a week old. In her intake exam she received the best possible score for fear, anxiety and stress which is a 1 out of 5. She was very calm and quiet during her exam. They gave her a body score of 4 out of 9, she was pretty emaciated. The shelter made sure she received extra feedings. Even though the shelter did what they could to care for Feather and her babies, shelters are not a healthy environment for most dogs let alone week-old puppies. Unfortunately, by the time the shelter sent out a plea for a rescue to pull Feather and her babies, one had passed. Due to the overcrowding and risk in the puppy's health, they needed to exit by 5 PM on April 14th. We raced up to the shelter and got them out of there and into a foster home. Feather was extremely underweight; she wasn't well and was trying to care for her babies. She did an amazing job, and all the babies would survive. We believe Feather was once a loved family member. Who knows what life events happen that would cause someone to abandon such a loving dog. She is very affectionate, and house trained. Feather does need some confidence building after what she's been through. We know in a patient and loving home, she will blossom and be a wonderful companion.
