KARLA'S KIDS
On Christmas Day, Miss Karla collapsed in her yard and passed away in her neighbor's arms. Miss Karla lived in a rural, swampy area of Louisiana. Her home was surrounded by wetlands, marshes, bayous, pampas grass, and alligators. She had no children, was not married, and her brother wanted no part of the 20+ dogs she left behind. SGRR took in 6 dogs from this rescue endeavor. These sweet souls are Goldens, Golden mixes, Bassett Hounds, Dachshunds, and combinations of all the aforementioned. They range in ages from 1 to 8 years. We have named them Jesse, Gus, Pam, Jeffrey, Martha, and Danny.

Martha - Happily Adopted!
Martha is thought to be about 1.5 years-old and we believe she is a Golden Retriever mix. She is a petite girl, weighing about 34 lbs and could use another 10 lbs or so on her frame. She is a very sweet girl with a lovely personality. She is happy to take treats from your hand, be it a cheeseburger or a yummy dog biscuit!
Martha is good with other dogs and was fine when she met the cat at the vet's office. She walks fairly well on the leash with a harness and our trainer, Mary Jane is working with Martha to turn her into a pro! This pretty girl has a beautiful deep red coat and fluffy plume of a tail. She has the cutest way of holding up one front paw as if she is a hunting dog, pointing at something.
Martha has been spayed, brought up-to-date on vaccinations, and is micro-chipped. Because her former owner did not keep her on heartworm prevention, she tested positive for heartworm and is currently under treatment. She should be ready to be adopted in early-to-mid-March. If your specialty is TLC and you are approved to adopt through SGRR, contact Donna to be considered to adopt this pretty lady. If not yet approved, please fill out an application to be considered. A physically fenced yard is required for all of Karla's Kids and a canine companion in her adoptive home is also needed.
Rescued dogs come with a range of needs - from behavioral to emotional to medical. When approved applicants adopt such dogs, they agree to take on whatever comes with the dog. It is up to YOU to continue the rehabilitation we have begun. This is what it means to rescue.
