Kiley

This is Kiley... She is a 2.5 year old, about 72ish lb, beautiful Labrador Retriever that has had a rough start to her short life. We know little about Kiley other than what is speculated by our vets and learned from her foster mom. She will not be ready for adoption until about mid-September as she is having ACL surgery on July 16 and it will be 6-8 weeks before she is ready to move to her... FOREVER FAMILY!!!! WE ARE HOPEFUL! She also has had a couple of litters (as the vet reports) and had lumps on 2 of her nipples... and they, and the tumors have since been removed, went to the lab, and have just come back today (July 8) from biopsy as benign!!! YAY!!! Kiley was also spayed a few weeks ago. We are so happy to be here for Kiley, but as you can see, the bills keep coming and GRRAND is asking for help on this sweet girls surmounting vet care. Kiley, when ready for her forever family, is NOT a candidate for apartment living, so will need to go to a home where if she barks because her people left, won't be a problem, and she needs to have a fenced in yard. She gets along with other dogs, and does fine with kids. She spent lots of time with her foster mom's 6 year old grandchild and she had no issues whatsoever. She also lives with a cat that she was curious about at first but only in the sense of " hey... what's that"? But now, they coexist just fine... hang out in the same room, sniff each other, and even drink out of the same water bowl! She does not mind the crate, except when left home. When her foster mom is home, she will occasionally sleep in it, but when her foster mom leaves, she coaxes her with a good treat, and gives her a little "love nudge" to go in. It is thought early on, that she is more attached to her people than her 4-legged friends, and if you are home more than not, THAT'S a PERFECT thing for Kiley! We are still learning about Kiley, but if you would like to help GRRAND with her vet bills, please visit the critical care page on grrand.org. We will update on her recovery, and appreciate any help you can give!
