Jersey Girl - Staying With Owner

Name: Jersey Girl

Sex: Female (not altered)

Age: 8 years

Breed: Labrador Retriever

Location: New Jersey

Vet Info: No vet information listed. 

Owner Info: Jersey is a 53 pound Lab who recently went blind and her owners can no longer care for her. She has been with her current owners for a few years. She is not housebroken or leashtrained. She has not been spayed, is not up to date on her shots, and has not had a HW test. When asked about whether Jersey has been to a vet, the owner wrote: "Jersey was originally taken to a vet when she was first born and then when she was three months old, and after that, we took her to the free rabies clinics that our county offers its residents. I plan on getting her vaccinated during the free clinics this month or next month, as I recently lost my job and cannot afford much else."  Jersey Girl is an outdoor dog who is good with people of all ages and with other dogs, but not with cats. She has snapped at a young child once; perhaps, the owner thinks, the child was trying to bother Jersey's food. The owner wrote: "Jersey Girl is a sweet, happy-go-lucky dog. She is a blessing to my wife and I, and it pains us to let her go, but we feel it is in her best interest (because of her blindness) to be under professional care."
