10/30 Update from Kendra........It's everyone's best guess that I am really about 3 years old given my activity & energy levels.  I am recovered from heartworm and have no restrictions.  I will probably do best without a cat.  I currently live with 3 of them.  I haven't hurt them; I just lick them & chase them if they run. I get along well with the dogs & people in my foster home.  I met some young kids recently and that went really well. Contact LEARN if you'd like to know more about me! Happy Halloween!

10/23/13 Update:  Foster Mom has decided that I would be best in a home without a cat.

Hi Everyone,
I’m Kendra.  I’ve been on medical hold due to heartworm disease.  I’ve had my treatment, and I’m in my recovery period for another 4 weeks, but I am ready to look for my forever family. 
 
I am 4-5 years old, about 70 pounds, and I’m an active girl.  I am tall & lean.  I LOVE my people and snuggling and food.

There are several other dogs in my foster home, & I get along well with them overall.  I play and run with the youngest ones because they can keep up with me.  There are also cats in my foster home, & I like to say hello to them with a big sniff of their heads.  If they run, I sometimes run after them, but I have never hurt them.  I’m just curious about them.
 
I am crate-trained & house-trained.  I used to live outside, but I have gotten the hang of indoor life, and I really like it!  It’s so much more comfortable to sleep on a soft dog bed!  
 
I am looking for a family who will exercise me daily and take me to classes to learn how to be the best that I can be.  I will do best with kids over 10 years old. Another dog or a cat would be nice but not required.

Most of all, I am looking for love & attention as that was lacking in my previous life.  I will sit by your side forever if you pet me & talk to me.
 
If you've already been approved to adopt, please let LEARN know if you’d like to meet me.

Special Needs: Kendra is reportedly heartworm positive. She will be tested 7/5/13 at which time we will also discuss getting her spayed. She is doing well in a foster home with several dogs & several cats. She will chase the cats if they run, but leaves them alone if they don't. She is learning to play with other dogs & seems to have some interest in retrieving a tennis ball. She likes the doggie pool. She is doing well with her housetraining. 7/8/13 Kendra did test positive for heartworm. We have begun the treatment as of 7/7/13 with monthly medication for two months to be followed by injections early to mid September. She will be spayed in 6-8 weeks after her heat cycle is finished. 9/10/13 We changed the treatment plan. Kendra was spayed mid-August and she had heartworm treatment 9/3-9/4/13. She is on crate rest for 6-8 weeks. She is doing well & wanting to play, but she has to be kept calm until mid-October.
