Daughter getting dog...what do you think? *UPDATE*

[happylabs]

Rach and her boyfriend ended up adopting a 3-month old black Lab puppy yesterday. The boyfriend found the pup on Craigslist. (I have never been to Craiglist so I didn't know if this was an appropriate place to get a dog or now) My daughter called me last night to say they had rescued the pup from the current owners. She said it was a horrible living situation and they felt good about taking the pup. The pup slept the whole way home (about a 2 hours drive), settled right in at the boyfriend's house and is getting along well with the other dog there. She said the 2 dogs played and played and the older dog even let the pup get a drink out of her bowl and stood behind the pup waiting for her to be done.

I do have to say that my daughter is very good with animals. She always bathed Casey for me, cleaned her ears without me asking and loved her beyond words. Whenever I talk to her on the phone she always tells me about the other dog the boyfriend has. The boyfriend says the dog is Rachael's "daughter". They are sort of homebodies when they aren't at school or work which is a good thing.

If I can get photos I'll post them here. She wanted me to come over after work and see the pup.

Rescue dogs are always good. Sounds like the two dogs will be getting
along just fine. Does the pup have a name yet?

They named her Zoey.

Congrats on your grand furkid, Zoey!

They should have her to the vet for a "wellness" check right away. Craigslist has all sorts on there.

Now charge up the camera batteries and get photos!

They took her to the vet on Saturday. She has fleas AND ringworm. I guess the place they rescued her from was not good. I haven't met the pup yet. I didn't want my daughter bringing her over this weekend until the fleas and ringworm are cleared up.

Here are some photos of the sweet baby girl.

Zoey is adorable! I hope they get the fleas and ringworm cleared up quickly. Good for your daughter and her boyfriend for taking this puppy from a 'not so nice' situation.

Sweetheart!
Sorry to read about flea and ringworm.

Zoey is precious! What a lucky pup! 3 months isn't too bad of an age.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Zoey sure is adorable. I hope that her ringworm and fleas go away quickly and that the other dog won't get them either. I'm so glad that she's now in a loving caring forever home that she deserves.

Zoey is adorable. Reminds me of my Maggie (black lab mix). I adopted
her at 3 mos too. That's a good age. Not a tiny puppy, but still baby enough
to enjoy their play with a older dog.

With treatment, those fleas won't last long and the same for the ringworm.

Holy ears! Perhaps she's part hound or spaniel. I hope they didn't pay for her. Usually when they're that young, at least in our area, its the breeder selling them. You can't sell dogs on craigslist so they pretend they are owners who can't keep them and are asking a small "rehoming" fee.

I am not sure if Rachael's boyfriend paid anything for the dog or not. It should be interesting to see her grow up and find out if she is mostly Lab.

All I know is my daughter is totally in love with this pup. She is constantly calling me with questions of what to do which I gladly answer for her. I wish the pup the best, unfortunately, I am not willing to keep the dog at my house if she and her boyfriend every break up. They think they are in love. Oh to be young again......
