This sweet old girl was found running on 4th St near NP High School by a NPPD officer on Tuesday morning at midnight. We assumed someone would be frantically calling for her by Tuesday Morning when we opened. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Days have gone by now with not a word on who she belongs to. It's always hard to see stray dogs go unclaimed, but it's absolutely heartbreaking to see a senior dog go through this. We don't know her name. We don't know her age or her breed mix. We don't know what her life was like before or what her preferences are. Someone loved and cared for this girl, and then just let her end up a nameless stray senior in an already overwhelmed shelter system. We are still holding out hope that someone may call for her, but it's looking like precious Gram Gram will be looking for a retirement home.
Gram Gram is probably around 12 years old. She is a medium sized brown mutt with the sweetest frosted face. She is about the size and build of a beagle. Gram Gram appears to be already spayed. She had a few fleas, but we have taken care of those. It seems her skin is sensitive to fleas, so she saw a vet today to get some meds to help her skin heal. We will do whatever vaccines the vet recommends for an old girl like her.
What does her perfect home look like? Gram wants a calm and quiet home. We don't think she would enjoy a young dog bouncing all over her, but she has been fine with dogs at the shelter and the vet. She doesn't know a stranger and has wanted attention from every person she has met. She has not met any children. Older children would probably be fine. Gram is slow to get off the floor, but once she is up, she gets around pretty well. We feel she would do best in a home with limited steps or with someone who is capable of picking her up and carrying her up and down steps. She does not mind being picked up. She loves a fluffy dog bed. She moves from bed to bed depending on where we are. She just wants to hang out quietly with her people. She is calm, quiet and well behaved. We have not heard her bark. She takes treats very nicely. She has not pottied inside this building at all...not even in the back kennel area. She holds it all night and waits for us to get her out in the morning. She is not picky about her food. She eats both dry and canned here.
Gram is looking for a loving retirement home. If you are interested in her, please reach out to us. 330-339-2616. Her adoption fee will be $70 and includes a license.
