Summer's Story

Summer is a beautiful 4 ½-year-old Labrador Retriever mix weighing around 56 pounds. This medium-sized girl is active, playful, and always ready for fun with the people she loves. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply spending time together, Summer is happiest when she’s included.<br/><br/>Summer has previously lived in a home with cats and young children. With the right fit, she may even enjoy having a canine companion in her new home. However, Summer should not live with farm animals.<br/><br/>She was originally adopted from the shelter in February 2023, but unfortunately found herself back in our care when her family moved.<br/><br/>When Summer returned to the shelter, we sadly discovered that she is now heartworm positive and Lyme positive. She is currently undergoing treatment and will need a calmer home environment while she recovers. Because of this, Summer would be available as a foster-to-adopt placement until her heartworm treatment is completed.<br/><br/>Despite everything, Summer remains a loving, happy girl who deserves another chance at a forever home. If you’re looking for a sweet companion and are able to give her a quiet place to heal, Summer may be the perfect fit for your family.
