LULU - TERRIER / LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Terrier / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: $350. My name is Lulu and I am looking for my forever family! I’m roughly 10 months old, a terrier mix, nearly 37 lbs, I came from Mississippi, but my southern roots haven’t stopped me from falling in love with the Northeast! I’m being fostered in Collingwood, NJ - therefore interested adopters have to come meet me at my foster’s home. I’m a super sweet, gentle, well-behaved, active, and curious girl. I already have a good handle on potty training at my foster mom's house, where I follow the lead of her other dogs. I am very good about going into my crate at naptime and for breaks when my foster mom has to leave the house. At bedtime, I sleep through the night for an average of 8 hours. Because I am young and still teething, I absolutely love to chew things, so you need to keep an eye on me and give me appropriate chew toys, bones, etc. On car rides, I’m good once I’m in the car, but I am initially nervous about getting in, so I need encouragement, patience, and a lift up. With practice and by going to some fun places, instead of just the vet, I’ll learn to hop into a car on my own, because I do love going on adventures! My favorite thing in the world is spending time with people. I enjoy chasing balls that are thrown for me and playing tug, and I love to snuggle with my foster mom. Being a medium-sized pup, a small spot on the couch right next to you will be perfect! I love kids almost as much as I love food! I know the command “sit” and I take treats very gently. I also understand and obey “leave it,” even when I would love to have the thing I’m supposed to leave. I get along with all of the dogs that I’ve met so far, AND I love cats! My foster mom has 4 dogs and 4 cats of her own. She also fosters other dogs AND she dog-sits, so there are all shapes and sizes of dogs here every single day! I absolutely LOVE to play … inside or outside, rain or shine! If the other dogs won’t play with me, I will get a toy and throw it for myself, chew on a bone, or just hang out and watch what’s going on around me. If I sound like your kind of dog, and you’re ready to spend time teaching me new things, taking me places, and generally loving me to pieces, please apply for me today! I’m not getting any younger, and I can’t wait to shower my forever humans with abundant love and affection! ● Approximate Age: 10 months● Weight: 36.8 Pounds ● Physical fence required ● Exercise needs: Moderate ● Activity level: Moderate ● Shedding amount: Moderate ● Grooming needs: Low ● Reaction to new people: Friendly, but timid ● Another dog in the home is recommended ● Good with dogs AND cats ● Good with people, including children Please email us at AlmostHome4Dogsyahoo is the right one for you!
