Genesis has handled more hardship than most dogs see in a lifetime, yet she's met every challenge with steady gentleness and open-hearted affection. At four years old, this Labrador mix was rescued while pregnant, dangerously underweight, and fending for herself. Her journey took a difficult turn—she underwent an emergency C-section to save both her and her litter of 16. While a bottle feeder took care of her puppies, Genesis slowly rebuilt her strength and spirit at the SPCA of East Texas. Now weighing in at 47 lbs and continuing to regain lost weight, Genesis is back to enjoying life. She's affectionate, eager to make connections with people, and learning the ropes of being a beloved companion—including mastering her basic commands. Despite her rocky past, she’s loving, patient, and determined to thrive. She's currently heartworm positive; her treatment will be fully covered by the SPCA of East Texas. Genesis does best as the only dog in the household but gets along well with children. She just needs a stable, patient family to build the life she deserves. Ready to meet your new best friend?
