Purdy’s Story

Purty is a beautiful 10-year-old bassador who spent her first nine years living as an only dog with a yard to play in and her human mom to love. When her mom could no longer care for her, Purty’s peaceful life was upended. She has landed on her feet with SBR and is thriving with her foster family but, as they say, it’s all just been a lot.

Purty is very smart and has adapted quickly to a totally different lifestyle by watching and learning. She’s quite expressive, with a cute grumble that she uses to ask to go out. Purty loves to play ball and catch with her toys and is a quick study for basic instructions. 

As the queen of her prior castle, Purty never really had to learn the give and take of getting along with other dogs – or men, for that matter. She is doing great with her foster sibling, Elvis and even got upset being separated from him when Elvis needed to spend the day at the vet. Love and patience will go far in allowing this sweet girl’s personality to shine. We have decided that it is in Purty’s best interest to make her part of our Forever Foster program due to how difficult it is for her when things change in her life and because of how well she has adjusted to life with her foster family.
