Rescue dog seeking permanent home

Janesville WI

Description

She belonged to someone that passed away from cancer and has had little training in her young life. Shortly after her owner got her as a pup he was diagnosed with cancer. The cancer quickly went to stage four and hospice was in and out leaving her without much attention. We believe during this time she was most likely crated and not much attention paid to her. After his passing the family did not want her and was going to dispose of her(euthanize). That's when we came in. This is what we have learned so far. Ideally she would do best in a home with someone that is home all day to work with her. She loves to run and do zoomies, play with stuffed toys and tussle with dogs her size. She is about 90% housebroken when on a regular schedule, does sleep quietly throughout the night in a crate, knows sit, shake, lay down and is getting better at not pulling on the leash when walked. She probably would be best in a home without little kids at this time because she would knock them over when she gets excited. She is okay with cats but can play rough. She is good with other dogs but doesn't understand when they want their space(is getting better though!). She has a boat load of energy and would be an ideal running partner. She eats fast and I purchased a slow feeder bowl that has helped some. Rides well in the car. I am asking for a rehoming fee of $200 which is quite reasonable as I just had her fully vetted and spayed as of two weeks ago(this alone was over $500, but it's the right thing to do so we doesn't have puppies in an already overpopulated world) She will be able to go to a new home now and is fully healed from surgery. She will come with toys, treats, leash, collar, slow feeder bowl, flea and tick drops and food she is currently eating to give enough to adjust to different food if you choose to change it. She weighs about 40 pounds currently and is a little over knee high. I am sure she will fill out some as she gets older. She is mostly black with reddish tint and some white markings. Face looks mostly boxer and long and lean like a lab. Serious inquiries only, I will not respond to anyone just asking is she available, please tell me why you think you would be best for her as I have given the most information possible. Homeowner only, no renters, I may do a home visit before placement as I want to ensure she is going to be taken care of because I want what is best for her. I will provide pictures when I know that someone is serious and not impulsive based on her looks. We already have three dogs and cannot keep her, but we couldn't see her being euthanized.
