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

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Shepherd / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 350. This beautiful 3-year-old Lab/Shepherd mix is about 60 lbs of pure love and loyalty—and she's ready to find her perfect forever home. Martha is a sweet, affectionate girl who’s truly thriving in her foster home. She loves to cuddle up on the couch (no crate needed—she’s perfectly behaved!), and she’s completely housebroken. She gets along well with her foster dog sibling, Ollie, and enjoys both playtime and chill time. She’ll make an incredible companion for someone looking for a smart, loving dog with a great indoor temperament. That said, Martha is working on her leash manners. She can be reactive to some dogs and has a high prey drive for small wildlife. This can definitely be worked on! RIght now, Marths would do best in a home with a securely fenced-in yard where she can enjoy outdoor time without the stress of neighborhood walks. A quieter area with less foot and dog traffic would be ideal for Martha, along with an adopter who is patient, experienced, or willing to work with a trainer to help her continue to grow. Martha is a total lovebug in the home and has so much to offer—she just needs the right environment to shine. If you have a calm home, a fenced yard, and room in your heart for a wonderful companion, Martha may be the perfect pup for you! If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: .starfishanimalrescue/adopt/dog-adoption-application . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet! The adoption fee of $350 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.
