If you care anything about dogs, you know all about the evils of puppy mills. I agree – they are horrible places. I didn’t come from a puppy mill – but for three years I was used by a backyard breeder in GA to push out puppies. Don’t get me wrong – I loved my puppies and raised them right. But it wasn’t a great life for me. And then I was dumped at a shelter – my buddies there said it was “high kill” Yikes. I was never so scared in my whole life – all 3 years of it.
Then some really nice people from K9 Lifesavers saved me and brought me to DC for a whole new life. In a home where I’ll be loved and cared for just because I’m me -Susie Q.
I’ve got a lot of good years ahead and would love love love to be your companion. I’m affectionate, loyal, and have a really sweet personality Just like a black lab is supposed to but…my ideal home is one where I get lots of belly rubs. After everything I’ve gone through, I am OK with most dogs, but prefers people companionship.
Now all I need is for someone to love me and share their home with me. So who out there wants a BFF? I was told that means Best Friend Forever. Sounds perfect.
We fostered Susie Q from October 2010 to May 2011. She arrived with an active pup, and boarded with her. One morning we noticed a bite mark on the pup’s muzzle. We assume Susie Q just had to put the pup in its place after pestering her too much. Since then, she has boarded by herself, but we have had her go out with selected other dogs.
The reason I write this is because I saw her description on the website, and think she would be fine with another dog in the house, as long as they are tested together first. Susie Q seems to prefer mature dogs, playful, but not in-your-face playful. I think editing her bio would greatly increase her chances of being adopted.
My wife and I have fostered Susie Q the last 3 weeks and she has been a complete joy! She is best buds with her foster sister Ophelia, and does very well at the dog park. She is a little shy, and sometimes more aggressive dogs do make her nervous, but she is more outgoing every time we go! We also recently foudn out that she LOVES the water. We took her to a stream and couldn’t keep her from jumping right in and splashing around like a puppy. It made us so happy to see her exuberance in the water!
