Sugar

A145772
43 lb. spayed female, approx. 11 yrs old

Sugar (Sugarbear as we call her) is a delightful 11-year old soul with a sharp mind and bum hips. She LOVES life and people. She is eager to be part of everything. Eager for walks, curious about dogs, cats, and anyone capable of giving attention. She needs to be loved and absolutely deserves it.
Her body holds her back right now, and she pays it little mind. She has severe arthritis in her hips and knees, which at the moment effectively renders her a tripod. As she recovers strength and health (incl. from kennel cough), she is regaining a little movement in her bum leg. She still wants to go for fast walks and she's still strong enough to pull you along if needed! Physical therapy might help, plus joint supplements and pain meds. She will likely need a place with a ramp or no stairs to hop over in order to go potty, but she's handling our 2 steps well so far. A house with mostly carpet/rugs would be beneficial for her to get around.
She's potty trained on a schedule. Sugar is uninterested in toys, untrained in commands, and is reluctantly tolerant of bathtime. I suspect she isn't crate trained; we haven't used one except for car rides because it's awkward for her to get in and out of. We've only left her alone once and she did great uncrated.
Once we slowly introduced our dog, and she realized dogs didn't have to sleep in their own rooms, she absolutely refused to be separated from us! So now she sleeps in our room. She's happy as long as she is fully welcomed and with the family.
She's alert and mentally stellar. Once, she was sleeping by the couch, then shot up like a cannon and stood at the door for a full minute before the mail carrier appeared. She'd heard him a whole house away, even while resting.
She's great with the kids and wishes my dog would play, but he's an old curmudgeon. She loves to engage with any living thing around her, from animal to toddler, to big kid, to shelter staff (she seems to have been a volunteer favorite). She naps well and sleeps late in the morning. She adapts to our 'small children family' energy well but wishes we could go out more.
Sugar is looking for someone with a big stretchy heart who loves life. Someone who loves just sitting with a dog, who loves going for a walk just 'cause it's sunny, and who will monitor her body as much as possible. This girl has had it rough and come out of it pure light and love, with some Velcro and clever stubbornness (it's served her well so far!). She just wants you (and food!) and she just needs love back.
