Description:

Ivy is now with one of our fosters and she is said to be a very good girl. She is sweet and affectionate, and gets along with all the other cats and dogs in the house. She is about 10 lbs overweight but that is likely from lack of exercise. She will likely drop that quickly now that she has a fenced yard and other doggies to play with. She will make a wonderful family pet!! 4/7/2010

Ivy's owners sadly could not keep her anymore and needed to surrender her. Their lives have changed so they can't take care of her any longer so we are trying to help them place her into a loving home. She is a medium size girl who is used to being around children and other dogs. We are trying to prevent her from going to a shelter so please help. Ivy is 35-40 lbs, she could stand to lose a few of those pounds! She is very playful and loving, and loves to receive kisses! She gets along with cats, she grew up with one but still likes to play with them. She likes to bark at other dogs when she sees them but not in an aggressive manner, larger dogs can intimidate her at first but after she gets used to them she is fine. She needs lots of exercise (also to lose those pounds!) and she does like to run when given the chance, so a fenced in yard is a MUST! She is currently wearing a bark collar to reduce how much she barks, but with the proper training she would easily catch on and would not need the collar anymore. She would also need to go to a home with older kids, due to her jumping, she could also benefit from training on that aspect as well. She is housetrained and uses a bell to let you know when she wants out.

Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal.

Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed.

The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label.

Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first. We appreciate you stopping by.
