MARY - BLACK LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Black Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Mary. This sweet girl was surrendered to a local shelter just days before Christmas, very pregnant, and with a large chain around her neck, indicating the quality of life she came from. Their facility was already over capacity, so they set up a temporary spot in their bathroom and put out a plea to the rescue community for help. The next morning, Mary gave birth to 12 puppies, and thankfully, Worthy Dog was able to find a fabulous foster home for Mary to care for her pups. She did an excellent job nursing her large brood and all of her puppies are safely in rescue. Now it’s Mary’s turn to be the priority and find her forever home. Mary is still in her foster home living with a mom, dad, another dog, and two kitties. She has been puppy-free for a few weeks and is learning what it’s like to be a family dog. Since the puppies have left, she’s become more curious and playful. When left alone, she can get into things, so her foster parents have worked on her crate training and giving high-value treats when it’s crate time. She will now go in on her own to nap...Good girl Mary! She’s housetrained and will let you know when she needs to go out. She has learned some basic commands, like “sit,” “down,” and “come.” Mary has proven to be a very sweet, gentle soul who loves to be around people and makes friendly quickly. She greets new people with a wagging tail, loves to snuggle, and will lean into you for pets. She is very gentle and has been around kids ages 1 to 10 years old with no issues. She doesn’t jump on them and is very respectful. She’s also good with both cats and dogs of all sizes. Mary's favorite things include: romping around the yard with her pack and she's a big fan of treats too! This pretty pup is ready to start her new life and will make an excellent family dog. She will do best with an engaged family with a flexible schedule, and a dog buddy in the home will be key. Mary has been spayed and fully vetted. She will be coming to the DC metro area in late March/early April and is ready to take the next step in her journey home. Apply today!
