Latisha

PLEASE READ THE COMPLETE BIO BEFORE CONTACTING US. If you would like to be considered to adopt Latisha, please email us at [email protected] and we will send you our adoption application. Latisha came to us after spending her life as a puppy mill dog used to generate money. She never knew about sleeping in a house on a nice dog bed or sofa. She never knew what it is like to be cherished part of the family. But she does now. She has been doted on and loved by her foster family and she is ready for her forever home. Latisha is a very sweet girl, the true definition of a Velcro dog. She adores a close cuddle on the couch with her humans. She will follow her people around the house all day, happy to stop and nap by them or receive belly rubs and snacks. She likes her crate and will settle down easily with a bone or toy. She is eager to learn and please, enjoying short training sessions where she can earn treats or excited affection. Latisha’s favorite day would be spent snuggling on the sofa with her people, taking naps in between chewing, taking a walk to explore her environment, and petting sessions. She will be your steady companion in the kitchen. She enjoys her role as Chief Floor Inspector for the Department of Dropped Food. In the evening, she would love a short walk or a bit of training and just hanging out with her family. Latisha would do well in a low energy home with no other dogs as other dogs make her nervous and she has no interest in playing or interacting with other dogs. A quiet neighborhood or the country where she can enjoy some time outdoors in a fenced yard exploring would be ideal. Latisha’s has been gentle with older kids. However, she is a big girl and doesn’t always know her own size and strength. She may climb over them or bump them in her hurry to go somewhere, knocking them over or stepping on tender body parts. A special note about puppy mill survivors: Puppy mill survivors often come with “baggage” that needs to be unpacked which takes time. This baggage is fear – fear of loud noises, quick movements, vehicles, stairs, even a fear of leashes, etc., The fears can be deep seated and may not ever be completely overcome. Adopters of puppy mill survivors need to be gentle and patient. We require a donation ranging from $100 to $600 for each adoption. The donation is based on the age and health of the dog being adopted as well as its level of training. 100% of donations are directed to the veterinary expenses of the dogs in our care. Latisha is being fostered in Maryland; however, don’t let location be a barrier, BRI can arrange transport to many states east of the Mississippi!
