Sunflower

My story

Approximate Age: 3 years Approximate Weight: 50 lbs Meet Sunflower – Your New Best Friend! ● Sweet, affectionate girl who just wants to be loved ● Spayed after raising her final litter of puppies—now it’s her turn to be spoiled ● Walks beautifully on a leash and enjoys time by your side ● Loves people and is eager to find “her person” ● Gentle, loyal, and ready to give her whole heart ● Doesn’t understand why she’s at the shelter—she just wants a forever home ● Requires other dogs in the household to be present at any meet and greets as she has can be selective about her dog friends. ● Ehrlichia positive. Treatment is typically 28 days of doxycycline (an inexpensive antibiotic). With this disease, a dog may always test positive even if treated. The adopter is responsible for treatment, including cost. It’s always a good idea to plan to keep your dog on a joint supplement for life.
