Reba is a beautiful 40 pound English pointer with snow white fur and liver face and ears. Poor Reba has already suffered more in her 4 years than most animals have in their lives, but she remains completely sweet, trusting and grateful for every kindness shown to her.
Reba started her life in the state of Georgia. We don't know anything about her life prior to rescue, except that she was found as a stray, extremely thin, covered in fleas and ticks. Her spay surgery revealed the remnants of a long-past incomplete pregnancy attached to her intestines that must have been causing her a lot of pain, and she lost a lot of blood during that surgery. After a cancerous tumor was found in a mammary gland, she had another big surgery to remove all her mammary glands to prevent future cancer risks to her. In spite of all the pain she had endured, sweet Reba remained completely loving and wagged her tail in gratitude no matter how bad she felt! That's our special girl.
Reba is now completely mended and has learned to love the good life as an indoor dog at her foster home in
She is completely housebroken, gets along with the standard poodle and English setter in her foster home, and is well-behaved while her foster mom is at work. She spends every evening on the couch watching TV with her humans, and sleeps on the bed when it's time for "lights out."
One of Reba's most wonderful traits is her special doggie smile. When she is happy or wants human approval she lifts up her upper lip and gives a special vampire-like smile that always gets her some laughs and hugs. Reba also likes to give doggie kisses
The right home for Reba will have a fenced yard to keep her from following her nose to chase birds or squirrels, but other than that the most important need Reba has is for a home that will make her feel loved, wanted and important for the rest of her life. She has many years ahead of her and it will be such a pleasure for some lucky home to have such a constant tail-wagger in their family. Please let us know if you think you have the love and affection to give this sweet survivor her happily-ever-after home.
