RETTA is a 4 year old female mastiff mix that weighs 83 lbs. She came to us as a shelter stray and in her case, we know the backstory. It's sad.
She belonged to a gentleman who took good care of her. But he passed away and not long after, RETTA found herself alone and running. Her refuge? The median of I71. During this time, she must have been hit as there is an old break in her back leg. After months, she was trapped by animal control.
It doesn't take dogs long to revert to a feral state. Fortunately for RETTA, her years as being a loyal companion were not completely forgotten. That said, dogs never jump right back to happy and wagging. It's taken us another couple months to find a glimmer in her eye and a wag to her nubbins of a tail. She is relearning how to play with other dogs (which she can do!) go through doorways without hesitation, and gain the trust of a human. At this point, she warms up to women quickly.
She is a wonderful, beautiful dog that never counted on her life being turned upside down. She is healing inside and out but will need a special home.
If interested in adopting, our process begins with submission of our application. Please visit our website at www.adoptmebluegrasspetrescue.com and click on RETTA's picture in "Adoptable Dogs". Additional adoption FAQ's can be found here also. Meets will be set with approved applicants based on our "best family fit" approach.
Thank you!
