Libby- Foster to Adopt

7-14-2024: Libby is doing incredibly well, 6 weeks into our program as I just added brand new photos of our happy girl today. Libby has gained nearly 10lbs and her hair that was cut off by the shelter due to terrible mats, is starting to grow back. She is loving being able to explore a fenced in yard and she is also so happy to be in air conditioning too. Libby is now pretty reliably house trained and the plan right now is just to help her gain a little more weight and also continue with our heartworm treatment plan. She would be a super easy dog for someone wanting a more mellow middle aged Setter. We are still looking for a foster to adopt home in the Chicago area. 6-20-2024: This is our new Lemon and White English Setter rescue- Libby's Recovery Album. I was contacted about her needing a rescue on May 30th and luckily we were able to move her to foster care the following Sunday. Libby was confiscated by the local animal control when a neighbor noticed she was being starved in an outdoor kennel. In spite of her neglect, Libby is a very loving Setter. We started her on a 3 time a day feeding routine, and we also did some worming and got her started on antibiotics for suspicion of tick borne disease and possible heart worms. She also had a bladder infection that is so much better. Blood work did confirm heart worms and she is now in our slow-kill treatment program. Libby will also need a dental in a few months when we do her spay. She is gaining weight slowly and learning how to be a proper house dog. Cage and house training is much better after a few weeks and she is especially loving with her foster daddy. We are looking for a Foster to Adopt home in the Chicago area so that we can get her full blood panel done and supervise her care.
