Summer 1-year-old 55-lb female, black Lab mix, spayed
Background: Summer languished at a central valley shelter for 9 weeks (after being found as a stray) and was scheduled to be euthanized on Monday. {She was originally named "Welsummer" by the shelter staff.) A good Samaritan in San Jose notified us of the situation and we worked with the shelter to pull the dog on Tuesday and get the dog to the good Sam for emergency fostering. Unfortunately, Summer was so stressed out at this new foster home that she gotten into an immediate scuffle with the foster's own dogs -- totally unexpected but not surprising giving the conditions and stress that Summer had been living in for more than two months at the shelter. We were able to shift Summer to another nearby home for safe-keeping and now we seek to find her a new foster that does not have any dogs. Can you help Summer?
What Summer's Rescue Rep Says: Summer needs to time to decompress and recover from her traumatic shelter time. We need to get her into a new foster home with no other dogs (or cats). Needs a secure backyard where she can run and relax and re-learn how to play and enjoy life. She is crate trained. Loves to play with plush toys. Loves to be petted and given affection by her humans. Nice leash-walks in the neighborhood will be awesome for her. We will provide all of the needed supplies to care for her.
Medical: Summer is in fine health. Spayed, microchipped, vaccinated. Summer is missing her tail -- not sure how that happened.
Located In: San Jose
