SITKA - HOUND / LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Hound / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). All Southern Crescent Canine Rescue pets are spayed or neutered, all vaccinations are up to date, heartworm negative, and microchipped. We suggest follow-up intestinal worming two weeks after adoption. We require monthly heartworm preventive after adoption! Are you looking for a protector? A one-person/family dog? Sitka just might be the one you're looking for. We've had Sitka since he was 5 weeks old, so we know he has not been treated badly. He was the shy, stand-offish one of his litter. He grew into a fearful adult. He is bonded strongly to his foster family and loves intensely, and we know this bond is transferable with patience and gentle handling. He is suspicious of strangers and will bark and retreat. He has NO bite history, but we are cautious with him. He will alert to any activity that is different in his home. Once he's comfortable with his surroundings, he is silly, affectionate, and playful. We love Sitka, and want the best for him. The best for him is a secure, stable home with a canine companion and a patient owner. "We Are Rescue" Until you have held a tiny puppy in your arms as it kissed your face with slobbery puppy breath and felt the love, Until you have held an injured or severely ill dog in your arms and felt their pain, Until you have looked into the eyes of a tired aging senior dog and felt their wisdom, And until you have seen and understood the look in your dogs eyes that tell you their time on earth with you is over .... and you humanely let them go, You will never understand the life of a rescuer. We find beauty in the most incomprehensible places and the otherwise homely faces. It is our gift to see beyond the dirt, terror, sadness and defeat and find the true soul that lies within.
