ROBERTA - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: $300.00. Hey, new besties! I am Roberta! I give off Dug from “Up” vibes, the quote that best embodies me is “My name is Bertie. I have just met you, and I love you.” I adore just about everyone I meet at first sight and I love kids too! Right now I would probably be best around older kids as I have a wiggly body when I am really happy and may bump over smaller children, I am a good girl about not jumping up though. I am 1 year old and 58 pounds but am a bit underweight, I shouldn’t grow any bigger but I should fill out a bit more. I am the happiest gal around, even after I was abandoned by my former owners at a dog sitter’s home, my light can’t be dimmed! I love to play with people and other dogs! When I came into my new foster home from the shelter I took a little time to warm up to my foster siblings (there be some big dogs in this place!) This is likely also due to the new home jitters, and perhaps a little lack of confidence. With a structure, a routine, and a solid human leader to love me, I will thrive when meeting new dogs. Now that I am comfortable and adjusted in my foster home I love to bounce around and play! I love to wrestle and play tug of war with a stick with my foster siblings. After some fun exercise and mental stimulation I am ready for a good nap and boy do I have some creative sleeping positions. I have really mellowed out since being in my foster home, not being stuck in a kennel 24/7 like I was at the shelter has really helped with that. One of my favorite things to do is to find my foster mom when she is working in her office and I sweetly come up for some pets and then I like to sleep in the fluffy bed next to her until she is done. I am very curious in cats but, the amazing trainer that has consulted on me thinks with a little work I could learn to live in harmony with them. I am great in the crate! I sleep all night long without whining. I have learned to sit and stay in the crate after my foster mom opens the door and I don't come out until she gives the "okay". I haven't been destructive in the house. As long as I am let out regularly I don't have accidents in the house or my crate, I am such a good girl about using the doggy door and going potty outside. I love to cuddle humans! I could sleep in your lap for hours and my ears are as soft as the Velveteen Rabbit. I am so great in the car, I ride quietly (except you can sometimes hear my snoring from the backseat) and I don’t get car sick. I do need some fine tuning on the leash but I love to go for walks! Are you looking for the sweetest companion that will love you to the moon and back and is down for every adventure? Apply to meet Roberta today bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication
