Babs

Update: 4/10/11





Breed:  American Staffordshire Terrier/Dalmatian Mix:

Age/Sex:  Young/Female

This is beautiful Babs. Dumped at a shelter at 3 months old on Valentine’s day in 2010! Almost 14 months in a shelter! When whoever had her discovered she was deaf they didn't want her so they left her to die. Days turned into weeks then months, then a year.......Babs didn't deserve that so we got her out and found a foster mom for her. Babs will need an owner experienced with her breed and deaf dog training. She is very social - loves all people, dogs and cats. She is very strong so small children may not be ideal as she plays gentle but could knock them over. She has decided she’d be the little min pins mom and sometimes knocks him over. She never hurts him though. Babs must stay nearby so that we can monitor her and make sure she is safe. She will only be placed with the BEST candidate for her. If you think that is you please email us.

 

She was in a different home after being pulled from the shelter…

 

“She has been with me for two days prior to foster.  She is a delicious mush pot. I have a senior chi that I'm fostering and a senior min pin (foster too) who she has decided she is their Mommy. Babs truly does not have an aggressive bone in her body, just sheer joy at each new sight, smell and gentle touch. She is a very strong girl who walks beautifully on leash with her new harness (she's very proud of that harness).

 

Her first night out of the shelter was hard for her. She wouldn’t go to sleep for fear of waking up to it having been nothing but a dream, but when she finally drifted off, she slept well and when I woke her in the am she smiled at me and gave me a big kiss as if to say OMG its real!”
