Yellow Labrador Retriever - Velma Aka Vivi - Large - Adult in Marion, Indiana For Sale

Yellow Labrador Retriever - Velma Aka Vivi - Large - Adult
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME!
12/25/12: VELMA AKA VIVI IS APPROXIMATELY 9.5 YEARS OLD AND ORIGINALLY CAME TO US THIN, PREGNANT AND HEARTWORM POSITIVE IN MARCH '05. SHE HAD 8 PUPPIES AND WAS TREATED FOR HER HEARTWORM AND IS COMPLETELY HEALTHY AND ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL NOW.
WE HAVE TAKEN OUR TIME TRYING TO ADOPT VELMA BASED ON HER SITUATION. SHE IS INITIALLY SHY BUT IS SO LOVABLE ONCE SHE FEELS SAFE WITH YOU. SHE LOVES TO GIVE "ESKIMO KISSES" AND JUST LOVES ATTENTION. WE ARE CURRENTLY JUST WORKING ON HER BASIC OBEDIENCE AS SHE WAS TOO TIMID BEFORE. SHE HAS BEEN HOUSETRAINED AND WILL SIT IMMEDIATELY FOR A BONE! SHE LOVES TO GET TREATS!!
SHE HAD BEEN OUTDOORS HER ENTIRE LIFE AND HAD TO LEARN HOW NICE LIFE CAN BE IN A PAMPERED HOME. SHE STILL LOVES TO BE OUTDOORS BUT LOVES TO LIE ON THE SOFA AND BE CUDDLED. SHE ALSO LOVES TO PLAY OUTSIDE WITH ALL THE OTHER DOGS.
FOR SOME REASON, ALL NEW DOGS AND ALL PUPPIES IN THE RESCUE IMMEDIATELY MIGRATE TOWARD HER. PUPPIES MUST SEE HER AS MAMA TO THEM ALSO AND SHE IS VERY SWEET TO THEM.
SHE IS SMART, BEAUTIFUL, AND SWEET AS EVER. SHE ALSO IF PROTECTIVE--NOT AGGRESSIVE--OF THE YARD AND WILL BARK WHEN SOMEONE NEW COMES UP TO FENCE OR INSIDE THE HOUSE.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN POTENTIALLY ADOPTING VELMA, PLEASE CONTACT KIM AT [email removed] FOR AN APPLICATION.
GRACIE'S HEART OF GOLD DOES NOT SHIP OUR DOGS - WE REQUIRE A FACE TO FACE MEETING. WE ALSO DO NOT ADOPT OUR DOGS AS GIFTS UNLESS THE RECIPIENT MEETS WITH THE DOG PRIOR TO ADOPTION.
Our adoption fees average $150-400 for dogs and puppies. This is due to the rising costs of veterinary care, gasoline prices, and boarding fees which are paid for out of our own pockets. As we are not funded by anyone - adoption donations help to offset only a part of our cost of getting the dog ready for adoption. All dogs > 6months are vetted, up to date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested and wormed. Puppies < 6 months will have at least 2 puppy vaccinations, microchipped, and wormed. If age appropriate, will potentially also be spayed/neutered and have rabies vaccination also. You will be required to provide proof of spaying/neutering after adoption along with a rabies vaccination, if necessary. Kittens and Cats are typically $35-75 based on the vet care. If mature enough all will be spayed/neutered.
