Meet Kelley, a heart of gold and a true beacon of resilience! 🌟 This sweet 2.5-year-old Labrador Retriever/Staffordshire Terrier mix has a story that will tug at anyone's heartstrings. Picture this: Kelley was found bravely camping out at an abandoned hospital with her beloved 'boyfriend' and a crew of about 40 other dogs. 🌧️ Just imagine the scene! But when the demolition team discovered she was pregnant, they kindly set aside a safe space for her to give birth. Tragically, before rescuers could reach her, a fierce storm descended upon Houston. The outcome? A heartbreaking loss of all but one of her puppies. 💔 Through all of this, Kelley has emerged with her sweet and loving spirit intact. At first, she may be a bit shy—who wouldn’t be after all she’s been through?—but with just a touch of kindness, she quickly warms up and reveals her nurturing instincts. This is a dog that exudes love, gently weaving her way into the hearts of anyone who gives her a chance. 🥰 Now let’s talk about Kelley’s personality! This true sweetheart thrives on affection and is more than ready to shower her adoptive family with love. She does just fine in a crate and has shown she can adjust well to a home environment. She’s perfect for those families or individuals who are eager to offer her a little time to come out of her shell. In terms of health, Kelley is currently heartworm positive and is set to receive her heartworm shots in June. But don’t let that deter you! With your steadfast love and care, she’s destined for a bright, healthy future. ❤ Heartworm is unfortunately common in stray dogs in Houston, all thanks to those pesky mosquitoes that love the warm, humid climate. When you adopt a heartworm positive dog like Kelley, you’re not just giving them a second chance at life; you’re joining them on an emotional journey. You will witness firsthand how she blossoms into a happy, healthy companion! 🌼 By embracing this opportunity, you’ll gain a loyal friend who will endlessly reciprocate your affection and gratitude.
