1-year-old 50-lb spayed female black Lab mix "Summer"

Background: Summer languished at a central valley shelter for 9 weeks (after being found as a stray) and was scheduled to be euthanized.  We got her out of there just in time.  {She was originally named "Welsummer" by the shelter staff.)  

What Summer's Current Foster Says: Summer is a sweet, affectionate girl with a big heart who’s eager to show her family just how wonderful she is. She’s energetic, playful, loves mealtime, and enjoys fetch, walks, and training—she’s crate-trained, responds well to treats, knows several commands, and is working on her leash manners. Summer will thrive with an owner who has plenty of time to bond with her and should be in a cat-free home, with slow introductions recommended for small dogs or children. A securely fenced yard and two daily walks will help her burn off energy, and indoors she’s calm, loving, and eager for the consistency and encouragement that will help her settle in. She’s ready for a stable, patient home where she can finally relax and become someone’s loyal forever friend.

What Summer's Rescue Rep Says: Summer would thrive in a secure backyard where she can run and relax and re-learn how to play and enjoy life.  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.  Summer will need slow and steady introductions to other dogs as she is quite excited when she sees another dog. 

Medical: Summer is in fine health.  Spayed, microchipped, vaccinated.  Summer is missing her tail -- not sure how that happened.   

Located In: Vallejo.

Our volunteers donate their personal time phones so please only call during reasonable hours (8am - 8pm). The Rescue Rep identified in the dog posting is the only person with information about the dog - please only contact the designated volunteer. We do call everyone back within 2-3 days so please be patient. We work very hard to make the right matches for the dogs and for the new owners. We get 3-5 dogs per week; we do not have a facility where the dogs are housed, they are in foster homes throughout the Bay Area.
