Sissy is an 8-9 year old lab who is up to date on vaccines and heartworm/Lyme negative. She is overweight at 87 lbs which strains her left knee and causes lameness, making long walks difficult. She will likely need orthopedic surgery on her left knee. Sissy is house trained, quiet, calm, and loves people but would prefer to be the only dog. She needs to lose weight, continue pain medication, and have her knee evaluated to determine if surgery can help repair it. Sissy would benefit from a quiet indoor home with love and attention where she can relax.
