Hope is a lovely, female, black Labrador with a big heart and waggy tail. She is a sweet girl that loves a gentle walk and lots of fuss. Hope’s owner passed away and she’s hoping to find her forever home soon with the help of Chilterns Dog Rescue in Tring, Herts.
Hope is 8 years old (DOB: 6.3.2018) and weighs 22.6kg. She is looking for a quiet home with someone who is around most of the time. Someone who understands her initial nervousness while she settles in and builds a bond. Due to a leg injury when she was a puppy, Hope will need gentle walks. There is no history of Hope’s travel experience.
Hope needs a home where there are no children, she but could cope with older visiting, calm children (12 years upwards). She is house-trained and clean in the home. Hope can also be left alone for short periods. Hope is good with other gentle dogs but would prefer to be the only dog in the home and it’s not known if she could live with cats.
Hope had a fracture to her right front leg as a puppy and has some arthritis; she is currently on Metacam to help with this and is benefitting from having a joint supplement. Hope has a history of recurrent ear infections although there has not been any evidence of this since she has been in rescue. A hypoallergenic diet as a preventative measure is recommended.
Hope recently had a dental and had five teeth removed but has recovered well. Prior to her dental, she had a routine blood test which came back as normal.
