Introducing Velvet! 💖 This big, beautiful black Lab mix has a heart as vast as Texas and is ready to find her forever home! 🌟 Velvet, estimated to be around 3–4 years old, has quite the story to tell. She came to the Lucky Lab team after enduring some tough times, including recently having a litter of puppies. But whoa, that’s in the past! Thanks to loads of loving care, she’s healed and is now spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, ready for the good life! Currently, Velvet resides with a lively foster family in the Lone Star State, where she shares her space with two energetic teenage boys and three fabulous female dog pals. She absolutely flourishes in a pack and is always eager to spend time with her humans. Velvet’s days are filled with her two favorite activities: snuggling and adventuring. Oh, does this girl LOVE to snuggle! 🛋️ Couch cuddles, bed hugs, and side-by-side snuggles—Velvet is a professional at making you feel all warm and fuzzy. If you’re seeking a true cuddle buddy, look no further because she brings the 'paw-sitive' vibes! But wait, there’s more! This delightful girl is all about that outdoor life too. 🐾 Whether it’s a morning hike or a leisurely stroll, Velvet walks like a champ on a leash and is eager to explore the great outdoors beside her favorite humans. She’s also quite the water enthusiast! 🌊 While retrieving may not be her forte, she loves to splash around and enjoy the company of other dogs—even joining them for some epic swims. Just picture the joy! Now, let’s talk about her progress: When Velvet first arrived at Lucky Lab, car rides were a little intimidating for her. 😨 But with time and gentle encouragement, she’s become quite the traveler! Pop her in the car, and she’s ready for adventure, curling up and snoozing her way to new places (even getting cozy on camping trips! 🏕️). Velvet is kennel trained and can easily rest in her crate when her family is out, making her a trustworthy companion at home. When she meets new folks, she’s sweet and gentle, even a bit shy at first—anxiety is a thing of the past, but a patient adopter will be perfect for her transition into new experiences. In return for your love, Velvet offers loyalty that knows no bounds, endless affection, and a replete reservoir of love to give! 🖤 She’s just waiting for someone who will cherish her as much as she will cherish them.
