ADOPTED ON 12-30-22 Growing consumer prices are spilling over to everything and everyone. This is causing dog ownership to be part of a list of choices people have to make in order for their survival. Dog owners have no rescue to help them with their obligations and they are forced to making a very difficult decision–they cannot afford to keep their dog.
Rescues are a resource for dog owners, they love their animals and hope that the rescues can find a loving home for their dog. Consequently, rescues deal with a huge amount of dogs that need to be rescued and deciding what dog to take into rescue is very challenging. Unfortunately, Lauralee’s owners had to make that difficult decision and she needs to be rehomed.
Laurelei is 11 pounds and she is more of a leader. She is always up front checking things out for herself. She has a take charge kind of personality but in a cute way. She is the one who always wants to be first in line and the first the see what is going on. But she is an adorable charming and loveable girl.
Laurelei is a very social and sweet-tempered with other dogs. She will run around and play all day. She would enjoy an active home as well as other dogs to play with. She does not have an aggressive bone in her body. She enjoys exploring and has and outgoing fun personality. She can be super sweet, funny and charming.
Laurelei is a female Schnauzer mix and was born in 2017. She is fixed and fully vaccinated. She is with a foster in Louisiana and has just been turned into rescue. She will need time to adjust to her new foster home and her foster family and her foster will need to assess her personality for some of the following reasons:
Dog behavior sometimes change when dogs move into a new place. The can:
- Pick up and reflect their humans behavior
- Adjust to a new space and routine.
- Smell everything, the dog’s noses are how they will become familiar with the new place and feel at home.
Our foster is helping her by
- Keeping her on a routine
- Providing some items with scents that she is are already familiar with her previous home, for example: an old t-shirt
- Making sure she spends extra time with her so she can feel safe and secure.
The most important thing is to be patient as she we adjusts and to keep loving her. In fact, she will get extra loving. We will keep the website updated as we get to know her better.
