Cash is a 1 year old purebred lab who is big and handsome.  He loves swimming, walking, playing fetch, and car rides.  Cash gets along with everyone and other dogs.  He should be taken to obedience class because of his age he needs to work on his manners.  He has a very sweet and goofy personality that will make you laugh with some of his antics.

Cash also has hip dysplasia so he cannot jump off docks or jump for a Frisbee.  He was brought to several surgeon and they all agreed that surgery was not the best option at this time.  With proper nutrition and exercise he may never need surgery.  He has full mobility of his hips and is not in pain.  Due to his hip dysplasia he will need to be exercised everyday either by walks or swimming therapy and be kept on a grain free diet with supplements.  His mobility has increased greatly with daily exercise and he loves doing it.  Cash will give his forever family unconditional love and laughter for the rest of his life.

10/12/11 Sammy the Survivor! ~ Completely recovered from Parvo, Sam is now gnoshing away to get rid of his puppy teeth. Being a puppy, he is happily exploring his environment and growing like a weed.

Update ~
Sam seems to be doing better – he is eating more and was willing to get up and move around.

Hi everyone,
This is Sam. We took him in from a shelter last week. He spent a long day making the transport up to us. The volunteer who was helping with the transport called to let us know that he was very sick. She quickly got him to a ER vet. Sadly, he has Parvo and is fighting for his life right now. He has been at the emergency vet clinic since last Sat. getting IV fluids, meds to help with nausea and antibotics. Please say a prayer for Sad Sam and keep him in your thoughts. 

My name is Jessie.

I am a 5 1/2 year old girl. I was surrendered by my owner because I am no longer able to hunt due to an injury. I have torn tendons in my back knees. Despite that, I get around really well, and am going to have surgery next month to correct the problem. I love to play and run, so I can’t wait to get this over with. I am housebroken, settle well in the house, get along with other dogs and I am still trying to figure out the small animal my foster family calls a cat. I am crate trained, know my basic commands and just love to retrieve! I really like to have my belly rubbed and my ears scratched, too. I will send an update after my surgery, because I am really looking forward to meeting my new forever family as soon as possible.

UPDATE: I had my first knee surgery last week, and as you can see, I have a beautiful cast to wear! I am getting around really well, actually walking on that leg already. I am already scheduled to have my next knee surgery next month. Labby kisses to all.

UPDATE
Midnight came into LEARN mid-June as an owner-surrender to an emergency clinic in Chicago.  She had been hit by a car and suffered 5 pelvic fractures.  LEARN paid for a left pelvic implant to help the worst of the fractures.  Unfortunately, her recent x-rays show that she needs more surgery.  Her right hip socket fracture didn’t heal as expected and her vet thinks she’ll experience significant pain within a year if it is not correct.  As well, the vet found a luxating left patella.  The plan is to repair the left knee first in order to stabilize her left pelvic area, 4-6 weeks recovery, then the femoral head surgery followed by another 4-6 weeks recovery.  She’s almost full grown at a whopping 33 pounds (10 months old) and it’ll be important that she maintain normal weight throughout her life to save on her rear joints.  The fact that she’s slim now is a bonus for her recovery.  She is a lovely, funny girl with a very cool personality.  If you could hear her bark with a toy in her mouth, you’d fall in love.
