DREAM GIRL!Hi, I’m Doreen!I may not have had the easiest start, but I’ve got a heart full of love and so much joy to give! I’m a one-year-old Lab mix, and I’ve been through a lot—rescued from an abusive situation where I was kept in a tiny, confined space. I was meant to be a breeder, but I’m so thankful to have found my way to safety, where I can finally feel somewhat safe!Despite my rough start, I’m the dream dog! I love, love, love people of all ages, other dogs, and even cats. I’m the kind of dog who just wants to be around everyone, share my love, and make new furry friends. I enjoy playing, going for walks, and meeting new people—I’m always excited to make someone’s day brighter!I dream of having a family to call my own, a soft bed to sleep in, and toys to play with. But more than anything, I dream of cuddling with my family and getting all the belly rubs I can handle! I am a very smart girl and eager to learn. I have been told that I have very good manners, no resource guarding, no agression, just a loving girl, searching for my happy ending.If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion to fill your life with joy, look no further.

Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems.Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you.The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs.Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live.Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.
