Hannah--Available in Pittsburgh area

Hi, my name is Hannah and I'm an 8 1/2- year- old Chocolate Female Lab and I am a typical, happy, loving, sweet girl--just like a Labrador should be!<br/><br/>I had a rough start to life--I was born to a breeder and was adopted at the age of 1 by a nice older couple. I lived with them for 7 years and they loved me very much. They spent lots of time me and I was very happy with them until my dad died this spring and my mom had to go to live in a memory care facility.<br/><br/>All of a sudden, I didn't have a home or anyone to care for me, so the nice people at LELRR took me in and I'm living in a foster home with a doggie sister outside of Pittsburgh in McMurray, PA. At first I was a little unsure of things, but after a day or so, I realized that I'm going to be okay. I would likely settle in quickly at any home that provides me with love and a nice routine. <br/><br/>I am trustworthy in the house and go outside to potty. I'm not destructive--and I enjoy playing ball and with toys. I LOVE my foster sister. In fact, I've met other dogs and I have liked all of them,<br/><br/>I would probably be fine with a cat that wasn't afraid of me. And I bet I would like children, too. As long as they were polite and respectful. Like I said, I really like everyone. I'm a sweet, gentle soul. <br/><br/>Unfortunately, my previous owners fed me all sorts of food--pretty much whatever they ate and a little bit of kibble and I'm a full figured girl at about 87 pounds. Now I am on strictly dog food--1 cup 2x a day and I've already lost some weight. I'm increasing my stamina every day by going on increasingly longer walks. <br/><br/>It's very important that I get down to a good weight for me--probably about 75 pounds, because I have an old ACL injury from when I lived with the breeders. I am now on a joint supplement and some medicine (carprofen) and I feel so much better. I can go up and down stairs instead of struggling like I did before.<br/><br/>Small, low calorie treats are ok for me, but I'm probably not the girl for you if you aren't able to commit to helping me get to a healthy weight that I can maintain--I'm feeling so much better and I want it to continue. <br/><br/>I'm heartworm and lyme disease negative and the vet said my bloodwork is great even though I'm 8! My gums, teeth and ears look good too!<br/><br/>While I don't have separation anxiety, my foster mom thinks I should go to a home where there are people home a good amount of the time---that's what I'm used to and even though I can be left alone for extended periods of time, I would be sad if that were the case every day. <br/><br/>If you are looking for a sweet girl to be your companion, one you can hang with for most of the day (I'm okay if you leave me for a bit though)--one you can take leisurely walks with, throw a ball for, and are committed to helping me get down to a good weight so that I feel my absolute best, we might be a match. <br/><br/>You might have a partner, kids or grandkids or a doggie or kitty friend for me, or maybe it's just you---I'm flexible. <br/><br/>To find out more about me, please fill out an application at www.lelrr.org, or refer to the instructions on your approval letter. Can't wait to meet you!
