Hope is a 9 yr old (DOB:11/24/11), beautiful, mahogany sable female that came in to rescue with her sheltie companion, Joy as owner surrenders.  Hope was allowed to become really obese and will need to lose a lot of weight.  She's recently had a dental, updated vaccinations and  tested heart worm negative.  She lived in a home with a older, single woman and would most likely prefer to live in another quieter home.  She is completely house trained. She is fine with other dogs, but will not want to subject her to an annoying younger aged dog in the home.  She has not been cat tested; however, I can't imagine she'd mind a cat sharing her space.  Due to her age and size, a home without many stairs is needed.
