Oh, darlings, let me introduce you to the beautiful **Mary**! This delightful one-year-old Lab/Terrier mix is not only spunky but also brimming with sweetness! Weighing in at 30 pounds of pure joy, she has her eyes set on finding her forever family. 🎉❤️ Mary is the epitome of playfulness! She just loves to frolic and romp around her foster home, having a blast with the resident dog. Whether they’re wrestling or engaging in a fun game of tug, her spirit is simply infectious! A friendly canine sibling who can match her energy would be a fabulous fit, as she thrives in a playful environment. 🐾 Now, let’s talk about Mary’s charming quirks! While she is house-trained (hooray!) and crate-trained, she does have some funny tendencies when it comes to her crate. It seems our girl can be a bit protective of her snuggly space—she's not too keen on anyone getting too close unless she’s ready to come out. However, outside of the crate, Mary’s a social butterfly! She adores both adults and children aged 10 and up, and she’s always ready for some loving cuddles. 🤗💞 Being the young pup that she is, Mary is still polishing up on her manners. She’s learning that all four paws should stay on the floor when greeting her humans (it’s a working progress, bless her heart) and she has quite the talent for sneakily “surfing” the table for snacks! But worry not, she knows “sit,” comes when called (most of the time!), and is also picking up the trick of ringing the bells to go outside. Sometimes, she uses it to cleverly distract her foster brother, all in good fun of course! 😜🐶 She may bark a little when new visitors arrive, but this smart girl is on a journey to gain her confidence with the right training and consistency. If you’re searching for a fun, affectionate, and clever young lady to share adventures with, then Mary might just be the perfect match for you! ❤️✨ Ideal adopters would be those ready to help her continue her training and provide structure—bonus points if you have a friendly dog who can join the frolic! Mary is part of a dedicated foster home-based rescue that prioritizes loving homes. Please note that they conduct home visits as part of the adoption process, and we can only adopt to families within the Chicago area and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for understanding!
