FRIDA & GALA - LABRADOR RETRIEVER (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Labrador Retriever (short coat). About Me Frida and Gala are a super sweet bonded pair. If you’re looking for some buddies to keep you company while you work from home or do laundry, these gals will be your best friends. Frida and Gala are approximately six year old, yellow labs with the most mellow temperament. They were turned in together at a shelter. At first we thought they were litter mates, but Frida seems a bit older, perhaps up to 8, and could possibly be Gala’s mother. It seems both dogs were used for breeding which is not surprising given their extra sweet demeanor. Frida and Gala want nothing more than to be reassured you will give them lots of pets and love every day. They spend most of the day cuddling on their dog bed or following their foster mom from room to room. They will nudge your hand for lots of pets or patiently sleep by your feet waiting for belly rubs. At the end of a long day, they will snore loudly to let you know they’re totally relaxed! They love their humans and get very excited when visitors come over. They also enjoy walks and walk well on a leash. See the video of them enjoying their walk. Gala loves stuffed animals and socks. She will pile them all on her bed and not share. Frida is highly food motivated and will steal food off the counter or table if you’re not watching. Thankfully she can be redirected easily. The pups get overly excited for treats and sometimes nibble your hand by mistake. Their fosters have been working on teaching them to take treats gently and they will need someone who can keep up this training. But they can both catch a treat from an impressive distance! Frida has had a few accidents in the home. She was likely raised in a concrete kennel and is still learning that grass is the right place to potty. She would do great with a dog door or regular access to a yard to continue this reinforcement. Gala is completely house broken. They are both crate trained and sleep through the night with no issues. They also seem to be content left alone for a few hours because they have each other. Like true SoCal residents, they are not fans of the rain and much prefer to stay cuddled up indoors. Maybe their new family can test out water again during the summer. My Ideal Home Frida and Gala are currently living with kids and a small dog in their foster home. They are dog and child friendly but don’t pay a lot of attention to either. Their ideal home would have no other dogs or dogs who are also really mellow. The home would definitely have a yard for them to lounge in the sun. They’d love someone who is home most of the time, but would do fine left alone for a few hours each day, especially if they have a warm, dry place to sleep. Primarily they just want a home with humans ready to give them pets, love and some delicious treats. In return they’ll give companionship, a few laughs, plenty of snuggles back and some great exercise as you enjoy daily walks together. Want to Adopt me?
