More about the shelter
Lost Dogs Run was formed to promote fostering by individuals who find or have unwanted animals while they are being adopted. Depending upon funding, we provide food and medical assistance during the foster period which can last up to a year.
adoption references are needed and must pass a house visit showing a safe and loving environment for the animal, a one week pre-adoption stay at new home is used to determine compatibility, $150 adoption donation if the family can afford it, must have a fenced yard and pet must have access to the house, all 6 month and older animals being adopted must be fixed and house-trained prior to adoption.
About Sugar
Distance: 760 Miles
Sugar looks like a white 45 lb Kimmer Cur & possible Am. Bulldog mix, very shy and sweet, about 3 years old. She was found in Wildcat Subdivision in Murphy, NC in late July and brought to nearby Lost Dogs Run, so weak from starvation, that she could hardly move. Sugar recovered rapidly and now is a very quiet and calm dog who just likes to hang around, following her foster mom. She was obviously used as a breeding dog in the past. She is now totally vetted, house trained, and heart worm negative. However, in mid August she had three 2 minute seizures within 24 hours and was immediately put on levetiracetam (initially 3 500 mg tablet a day and now a month later 1 tablet a day) which totally stopped the seizures. Her medicine is not expensive and her dosage is 1/3rd the normal dose and has no bad side effects. We will soon try with no tablets to see if there are still no seizures. Her low energy nature would make her a great pet for a retired couple. She is just so sweet and wants to stay near home. Each morning, she is let out to explore in the neighboring woods and is back within a half hour, eager to go back in the house. Call Ron Stoessell (985-630-1613) or email him at ronstoessell@gmail.com if you can provide a great home for her.
