Akita / Mixed (medium coat) : : Female (spayed) : : Senior : : Large
SACRAMENTO - This is a VERY SPECIAL GIRL, so PLEASE READ about her, comment, and share - and if you can, ADOPT! Blanche Devereaux is an old lady, maybe 12 or 13 years old, but we aren't really sure. She is sweet and easy going, but she is a senior and a large breed, so she is always overlooked. She has been in foster for TWO AND A HALF YEARS and yet still, here she waits. She came to Recycled Pets with a sister who has since passed away, yet still, here she waits (and she i s the older of the two!). She doesn't ask for much. Just a relaxing home of her own, with food, treats, and occasional pets/massages - oh, and A/C and a fan as she tends to run hot. She is pretty much the most low maintenance dog ever. She does have a nice thick coat you'll need to brush, but she will let you. Just grab your fave adult beverage, turn on your favorite show, and give her a good brushing while you just relax together. We have no way of knowing how long she will be around, but as of right now, she takes a thyroid pill and an anti-inflammatory (which are super cheap and will send some home with her) that she easily eats in a piece of cheese with breakfast, and that's it. And she doesn't run or play any high impact sports; she prefers the waddle slowly into the yard in the cooler morning and hang out on the cool pavement and chew on a bone. Then shes right back inside, on a dog bed in front of a fan. Easy peasy. She doesn't need to be crated, as she doesn't destroy anything. She is potty trained, although occasionally a (very solid) poop might squeeze out when she groans to stand up. I mean, happens to the best of us yah? But it's a very rare occurrence. She is grey in the face and slow, and so sweet and so easy. She is about 90 lbs, so shes a big girl. She has met all sizes of dogs and while she has no interest in playing, she easily co-habitates with them and basically ignores them. Like I said, easy peasy. So, have a soft spot for this girl to land? She is ready for a home of her own, and will come with plenty of her meds, a large bed of her own, and all the gratitude she can muster. Her adoption fee is waived for the right family.
