Meet Gypsy, Meadowlake's newest candidate in the New Leash on Life program. 
Meadowlake Pet Resort is proud to announce a new candidate into their “New Leash on Life” program.  Gypsy from Friends of Montgomery County Texas Animal Shelter (FMCTAS) will begin her free training and board on Monday, January 24.  She will undergo daily socialization, as well as learning basic commands and skills during her free 30 day stay.  Meadowlake’s Trainer, Tori Hankey states “I am extremely excited that this program is becoming such a success.  Meadowlake is so proud that we can help a less than perfect dog find its forever home.”  For more information on the “New Leash on Life” program, visit www.meadowlakepetresort.com/training/new-leash-on-life.php. 

About Gypsy:  Gypsy was found as a stray and was picked up by Montgomery County Texas Animal Shelter.  She entered the shelter with signs of extreme abuse.  Her jaw was shattered; she was extremely underweight, with an upper respiratory infection, worms, and kennel cough.  Friends of Montgomery County Texas Animal Shelter (FMCTAS) saw this beauty broken and absolutely terrified.  They pulled her from the shelter and nursed her back to health.  This stunning Catahoula is now staying at Meadowlake Pet Resort free of charge and working on her communication with humans.  She will be working on learning basic commands and socializing with people.  She is about1 year old, spayed, updated on vaccinations, crate-trained and is friendly with other dogs, but terrified around people.  She is also partially deaf, so she is sensitive to loud noises.  Jessica from FMCAS and temporary foster for Gypsy, informs Meadowlake, “I want to help Gypsy so badly.  She is such a sweet girl and has had a horrible life.  She deserves a chance at a new life.” 

We will keep you updated on her progress through this blog.
