About Naomi

They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply? Meet Naomi, a lovely black Labrador Retriever mix with a heart as big as her personality. At around one year old, Naomi is a medium-energy pup weighing about 40 lbs.

She adores playing with other dogs, delights in spending time with kids, and is thought to get along well with cats—she’ll be cat tested soon to confirm. Naomi’s resilience is matched only by her gentle, affectionate nature. She is eager to snuggle, lay her head in your lap, and is always game for a walk or belly rub. Despite her past mistreatment, Naomi’s playful spirit and loyalty shine through, making her a wonderful companion for any loving family. She’s looking for a forever home where she’ll be cherished—and where she’ll undoubtedly become the heart of the household. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
