Hello, all of you wonderful, scary people! My name is Lemon Drop. I'm not just named that for my lemon color, I'm also a lot like a lemondrop candy, a little bitter until you get to the sweet candy center. I'm 4 years old and lived my life producing babies for a breeder before I was rescued. I haven't had a lot of experience with people but due to my sweet nature, I really want to like and trust people! The hardest part about being rescued isn't just all the people, it's all of the other odd experiences that I'm going through at the same time. Carpet, hardwood floors, tile, linoleum, grass, sand, dirt, gravel, it's all been new to my little feet. Then there are the weird noises. I've never heard so many different noises before. Sometimes just the sound of my nails on hard floors is scary. With that being said, I am learning that not everything is scary! For example, treats aren't scary! I'd never had a treat before, but my foster mom holds it out and patiently waits for me to smell it and take it. My pesky foster fur siblings aren't always as patient and try to snatch them for themselves! Foster mom must then move quickly, so no one else takes it, and that can be a little scary, too. I haven't gotten used to treats being tossed or rolled to me, I tend to run from them. Those little things can move fast. I'm also learning that I like pets. I'll run up to my foster mom and start licking her hand to let her know it's okay to pet me. She starts with chin scratches and slowly pets around my ears. I do really enjoy it. There is always a lot of commotion with all the foster fur siblings and this little thing, foster mom calls her grandson that moves around, so I have to be on my guard. I do find that when things get to be a little too much, I retreat to a kennel. I also sleep in one next to my foster mom's bed. Since I've been doing great on my potty training and using the doggie door, foster mom doesn't close me in the kennel when she leaves anymore. I still have a lot of learning to do and trust to build, but that can all happen with the right family to love me. Are you my forever family? Lemon Drop weighs 15 pounds, is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, heartworm negative, and on preventatives. Unfortunately, Lemon Drop does have a genetic heart condition that will keep her on lifelong meds. Her medication is approximately $15 a month and will require yearly follow-ups with a cardiologist. The cardiologist say they can't guarantee anything, but they don’t believe it will shorten her life span. She does well with other dogs but can give a warning growl to correct them if they get in her face. She currently lives with 9 other dogs ranging in ages from senior to puppy. Lemon Drop has not yet met a cat, but with her temperament, it's guessed that she'd be fine with them. Her adoption fee is $400. If you're interested in meeting her or would like more information, please apply to adopt at Www.bassetandbeagle.org.
