Lorabelle

Lorabelle is a beautiful 2 year old Patterdale/Wired Hair Terrier mix who weighs about 35 lbs. She is a soulful girl who has overcome a difficult beginning and is now looking for something every dog deserves-a home committed to her for life. <br/><br/>Lorabelle was rescued as a young puppy after being found living tethered outside with little to no food, water, or proper care. She came into rescue, blossomed in foster care, and eventually found what everyone hoped would be her forever home.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, after nearly a year in her adopted home, Lorabelle was returned following a serious incident involving one of the family's small dogs. The home had multiple dogs freely roaming throughout the house, and the incident occurred when the dogs were unsupervised. Lorabelle has a strong prey drive, so she must never live with small animals. This is a very important part of her adoption requirements.<br/><br/>We believe Lorabelle may live successfully with one compatible, submissive dog who enjoys playing a little rough and is not reactive. However, a home with multiple dogs may cause her to become overstimulated and increase her reactivity. She will need thoughtful introductions, close supervision, structure, and an adopter who understands dog behavior and is committed to managing her safely. <br/><br/>Lorabelle is a high-energy young dog who still has plenty of puppy left in her! She would thrive with an active family who enjoys walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, and keeping a busy dog mentally and physically engaged. A securely fenced yard is a must.<br/><br/>She is a sweet girl who wants to be loved, but she does need continued work and training. She can get overly excited and jumpy, so no small children. Older, dog-savvy kids who can help her burn off some of that youthful energy may be a good fit.<br/><br/>Lorabelle is smart and eager to please, and with consistency, positive reinforcement, and an active lifestyle, we believe she can continue to become the wonderful companion we know she can be.<br/><br/>One other important update: after adoption, Lorabelle tested lightly heartworm positive. She has started slow-kill treatment and will be retested in approximately six months to monitor her progress.<br/><br/>Lorabelle is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations.<br/><br/>This girl doesn't need someone looking for a perfect dog. She needs someone willing to see the good dog underneath the overexcited, energetic exterior and give her the structure, training, exercise, and patience she needs to succeed.<br/><br/>If you're an active household looking for a loyal, fun-loving terrier mix and you're ready to put in the work, Lorabelle may be the girl you've been waiting for. <br/><br/>PLEASE READ BELOW:<br/><br/>If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, the first step is to complete an application and read all of our FAQs: <br/><br/>https://www.takepawsrescue.org/adopt<br/><br/>Please note: Information to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. <br/>*An inquiry, questions or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application* <br/>All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info will be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the high volume of introductions/questions received we ask you to submit an application (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue).<br/><br/>The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet. All dogs in our care are also kept up-to-date on HW/Flea Prevention.<br/>For more on this, or for additional information, including the adoption process and our adoption fee scale for all our adoptable pets (including an explanation about Benefactor Dogs), please see our FAQs page: <br/><br/>https://www.takepawsrescue.org/faq<br/><br/>Any breed labels used by Take Paws Rescue, its employees/volunteers, or on vet records provided cannot be guaranteed. Breed labels are given based on information obtained during intake and/or best guesses based on appearance and/or temperament of the dogs and Take Paws Rescue gives no assurance to the accuracy of these labels. Labels are necessary for postings to many animal networking sites, such as our website, Chewy, Pet Finder, and others. These are in no way a guarantee. Additionally, exact age and potential size cannot be guaranteed.<br/><br/>***Take Paws Rescue, based in New Orleans, saves dogs from high-kill shelters across the South, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures. All of our animals live in foster homes where they are socialized and well cared for. An application will be required to make sure it's the perfect match!
