Adopt Sookie a Black Labrador Retriever / Mixed dog in St.
Location:
Saint Augustine, FL
Description:
When we found Sookie, she was tucked away in the corner of an overcrowded animal shelter. We weren’t even supposed to be in the area we spotted her in, but made eye contact with her soulful eyes and just had to take a peek. She was skin and bones. She was infested with numerous skin infections that left her body covered in more scabs than fur. She was riddled with heartworms and untreated kidney disease. She would have likely been one of the first dogs to be euthanized because she was a senior in despicable shape. Sookie was an owner surrender. She wasn’t a stray that was searching for food and shelter on the streets, but someone’s dog that went uncared for and neglected for far too long until she was finally tossed away like garbage. We don’t know much about her life before coming to Swamp Haven but we do know she has no reason to be the perfect angel that she is. In boarding, Sookie let us know that she didn’t want anything to do with other dogs and we didn’t blame her given everything she’s been through. Turns out she just needed to be in a comfortable, calm environment in order to let her guard down and start to truly heal emotionally. She went from being recommended as an only pet to a gal that seems to enjoy the company of feline friends and dogs that match her temperament level! We have learned so much about Sookie since she went to a temporary foster home but most of all we learned that more than anything, she simply longs for a home. A REAL home that will treat her like the queen she is, like she’s always deserved to be treated. Sookie is in need of a longterm foster, or better yet, adopter. Her time in this temporary foster home will soon come to an end and the thought of her going back to boarding where her guard is constantly up breaks our hearts. Sookie is about 12-13 years young, she is perfectly frosted, she cares about snuggles, snacks, and sunbathing exclusively, and is dreaming of a forever home to spend the rest of her golden years in.
