Kylie Chocolate Labrador Retriever Female 9 Months Old ID #3373

August 17, 2023

Meet Kylie!

Kylie is a 9 month old chocolate lab who weighs 55 pounds. She is long and lanky with big paws and sweet as can be.

Kylie was brought to a vet in Lancaster for a partial obstruction. Her owner could not afford surgery and wanted to euthanize her but the vet contacted Brookline and the owner surrendered her. Kylie spent almost a week in the hospital – several days of observation, surgery Saturday to remove the obstruction, and was finally discharged on Monday. Kylie is doing very well in her foster home and trying to stay calm while she heals for the next 10-12 days. This could prove to be a challenge as she is very interested in playing with the other pups in the house.

Kylie is super sweet and affectionate. She knows her name and “sit”. She understands the word “no” although we try to say “ahh ahh’ instead and she is easily redirected. She is curious and a little bit Velcro but getting more independent by the hour. As you can see from the pictures, she is a beautiful girl!

Kylie is doing great going outside to potty – no accidents! She is sleeping in a crate through the night and is agreeable when we say “crate up”. She has been happy to meet new people and is well behaved for a 9 month old although she is starting to show a little more of her silly puppy personality every day.

We are currently transitioning her from canned sensitive stomach food to regular dry food and she has been eating fine with no more stomach issues.

Kylie tested Lyme positive when she came into the vet and is on antibiotics for a few weeks.

Kylie will have her staples removed 8/23. She can’t wait!!
