CANDY is a 7 year old Sable & White female. She came to us through
an animal shelter on the west side of the state, where she was picked up
as a stray. She came in with her 7 year old Golden Retriever
housemate/sister. The two of them were picked up and tagged the year
before and returned to their owners. When they were found this time,
the shelter knew who the owners were and tried to contact them but got
no response. Of course the owners didn’t want them back, they were both
heartworm positive! Candy has completed her heartworm treatment and
has tested negative. Her Golden housemate was adopted, the family whom
we met by accident on our first vet visit. Candy is a push-button dog
who absolutely adores attention. If you start petting her, she will
nudge your hand if you stop! She is completely housetrained and has the
run of the place if we are away. We have three other collies in the
house, Candy gets along fine with them. It took her awhile, but she has
finally learned to play with the youngest one. Candy would do best in a
home with children. When our grandkids come for a visit she wants to
be wherever they are. She gives up her place on the floor on my side of
the bed at night to be by their side. When she sees (or hears) the
leash, she wants to go with me, beats me to the door. Walks or rides in
the car, doesn’t matter as long as she can go! |
