This gorgeous gray girl is Remmy. Remmy was surrendered to the shelter along with another dog after the owners were no longer able to keep them in their home. Remmy may be 9 years old, but watch out, this girl has some spunk. Remmy loves to go on walks, play with toys and is very vocal when she wants something. An ideal home for this senior girl would be one where her people are home more often than not and one with no small children. Remmy can be enthusiastic when taking treats and toys and this may be too rough for little ones. She is active and likes to bark for attention. She would not be ideal for apartments. This lady loves to snuggle in a warm cozy bed and cannot get enough blankets, the more the better. When Remmy first came to us she was missing a lot of fur, she was very red and itchy and has ear infections. You could tell this was something she struggled with for a while. Our vets started her on medications and immediately we began to see results. Remmy’s new family will need to keep an eye on her skin sensitivities to ensure her comfort and take her to the vet when needed. Remmy has a lot of lumps and bumps that come with old age and we think this makes her more beautiful than ever. If you think Remmy is the one for you and your family, contact the shelter to schedule your appointment.
