AUDREY

Description

Audrey is a three year old female Beagle mixed with.....maybe German Shepherd? Bigger than a beagle, not nearly as big as a Shepherd, our Audrey weighs in at about 32 pounds, full grown! Audrey was dumped at some point along with her 5 pups who were about 5 months old. Audrey did everything she could to keep her little family alive, and somehow, while doing that, gave those babies some of the best sweetest temperaments on earth. Raised by a strong loving single mom! The whole family was safe but had no place to go due to overcrowding at the county facility - an immediate request for rescue commitment was sent out and we decided quickly to help and welcome them to our Angels family.Audrey is honestly one of the sweetest little dogs ever. She is seemingly always joyful, always happy to see EVERYONE, gentle, wonderful on a leash, outgoing with friends and strangers alike. She loves love and doesn't seem to have a cranky bone in her body! Sort of a basic beagle temperament! What makes her excellent temperament and lovely nature even more incredible, is the fact that when one of her caretakers noticed an intermittent limp, our dedicated Doc took an x-ray and found that Audrey had, at some time in the past, suffered a fracture of her leg. It is an old injury, but one that didn't heal as well as it would have if someone had actually treated it. This special girl had dealt with a broken leg, the time it took to heal, and the discomfort afterwards, without ever showing more than an occasional limp. She has never been grumpy a day since we have known her! Thankfully, the leg did heal, and Audrey will live a normal happy life. She will likely suffer some arthritis in that leg, and to that end we have been giving her joint supplements, and will require her new home to do the same, helping to build up and strengthen that area. We don't know a lot about Audrey's past, but since she seems to do a good job keeping her kennel clean, we believe she has a basic understanding of house training and will quickly learn what its all about. She has been introduced to a crate, seems to like other dogs, and would likely be a good match for a family with kids (pending a meet and greet with any resident canines or children).Audrey is smart, receptive to learning, loves treats, loves attention, needs to snuggle and needs a soft bed and lots of pets. It really isn't too much to ask! Audrey is available for adoption.
