Sunflower is a gentle, soft-natured 3-year-old Labrador Retriever with a delicate spirit. She arrived after bravely seeking shelter for herself and her puppies, and since then she’s slowly been discovering that people can be kind. Still, she’s extremely shy and needs time to feel comfortable in new environments. Sunflower finds reassurance in the company of other dogs, so a home with canine companions will help her confidence. She isn’t quick to trust, but once she feels safe, her true affectionate side starts to show. Because of her timid personality, Sunflower will do best in a calm, low-key home where any children are older and understand how to be gentle and patient. She needs a securely fenced yard—for now, that’s her safe space, and she’s not ready to be a walking buddy yet. If you’re someone willing to move slow and let Sunflower set the pace, the reward will be a one-of-a-kind bond. Sunflower is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and protected with preventatives. She’s searching for a patient family who appreciates the quiet beauty of gaining a shy dog’s trust. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
