Hi everyone I'm Rhea's new foster Mom. I first met Rhea at our BC picnic last Saturday and everyone including me was surprised at how little and cute she was. Digital cameras don't always do you justice. She is only 18 inches at the withers and approximately 32 pounds and has a shiny beautiful smooth coat. She is very affectionate and loves to cuddle and is well mannered. It had only been a few days but she plays well with her foster brother and sister's. She has met several small animals who also reside with her including rabbits and birds and she is very appropriate with them. She is totally house, crate trained , and walks great on a regular leash. She is very friendly and walks up and wags her tail to everyone and likes children. Rhea is NOT a diamond in the rough she is already buffed.

Background:

Rhea was picked up as a stray in January 2008. She was extremely pregnant and gave birth to ten very happy, healthy BC/Lab mix puppies on Monday February 11. Rhea was fostered in Kentucky until a foster switch was needed. Rhea, being a very easy foster, very sweet and good natured, was moved to IL where she is now currently fostered and her previous foster home took in a foster that needed a working home. The puppies are still being fostered on the farm in Kentucky.
