ADOPTED ON 07-07-14 – Ally is a small girl but full of love! She watches you very closely and always come over for a reassuring hug. She is extremely sweet and loves kids. She loves sleeping on someone. She has been learning the crate and has been receptive to potty training. She gets along well with her siblings and kids love her!

Through no fault of their own, dogs in the south are left by the road to make it on their own, over and over again.  Ally and her 9 siblings were victims of being born in a place where there are many dogs and no solutions. Ally’s story is heartfelt, she was found by a stranger who could not take care of the pups herself but stopped anyways and got them to someone who could. The remarkable people who make rescue achievable could not walk away from Ally and her 9 siblings even though she had 10 dogs herself—now she has 20. We can’t ever envision having 20 dogs in our own home, nerveless, puppies but a rescuer’s spirit is pure and giving.

Puppies come into this world with a clean slate. Ally’s life is full of play, good food, afternoon naps in the sun and kisses daily from her rescuer that examines every spot on her. Ally is in a northern foster home and we will begin to know who what she is like soon. However, Labs are healthy dogs and generally will live long lives of 10 to 14 years and are one of the most popular breeds in the USA because they are loyal, loving, affectionate and patient, making great family dogs.  They are highly intelligent, good-natured, very willing and eager to please; they are among the top choices for service dog work. They love to play, especially in water, never wanting to pass up the opportunity for a good swim.

These lively dogs have an excellent, reliable, temperament and are friendly, superb with children and equable with other dogs. They crave human leadership and need to feel as though they are part of the family and are easily trained. This breed of dog is wonderful with people of all ages, interact well with children.

Ally is in excellent health, ready to leap into your heart and go to her FUR-ever home. If you are the type that want to make a difference this year to a deserving dog in need, Ally will thank you every day and fill your life with laughter and licks. Our adopters are the most wonderful people who stand to be the last chapter of their rescue story, and the first chapter of their new forever lives!

 PUPPIES BEHAVIOR, GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT

Each stage of Puppy Growth and development is fascinating; by the time it reaches its first birthday a puppy is considered a mature, adult dog. Puppy Growth rate is fast compared to humans, just compare a puppy of 8 weeks to a baby of the same age.

One of the most common questions asked about a puppy’s growth and development rate refers to the eventual size of the puppy. How big will the puppy grow? How can you determine the adult size of a puppy? A young puppy is tiny and cute – everyone loves puppies! But will the puppy be suited to your environment? How much exercise will be required for a full grown dog? Will the puppy be a suitable pet for children? The breed of the puppy will determine the answers to these questions. A general response to the size and growth rate of a puppy and the adult size of a puppy is therefore not possible – it needs to be specific to the puppy’s breed.

PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO CHECK OUT THE SECTION BELOW

RDVG wants to provide you with as much information as we can because some of our mix breeds you might not be familiar with. The below section on “About the Breed” offers information on some of the Breed Characteristics, Children & Pets, Behavior and Personality, Temperament and more.

It is important to point out that in addition to the breed, there is an enormous variety in the way a dog acts and reacts to the world around him. In the end, your dog’s preferences and personality are as individual as you are–and if you can accept that– then you’re bound to enjoy each other.

Children & Pets

Animal Behavior Guidelines

Many children, especially very young ones, do not realize that pets are living animals and not toys. Failing to teach a child how to handle pets properly can result in suffering on the part of the pet and, in some cases, injury to the child. Taking introductions slowly will allow you to introduce family dogs and your children safely
