Cara is a 1.5 year old, 25 lb Lab mix. She was rescued, along with several other dogs, from a horrible situation where she was literally living in a trash heap. She was underweight when she arrived but is steadily gaining weight, now that she is getting plenty of yummy food. Foster mom says, despite her past, she is sweet, affectionate and playful! She enjoys fetch, tug, and chase, and is always up for a good sniffy walk (her harness works great!). She's eager to learn, potty trained, crate-friendly, and comes when called - especially to whistles, lip smacks, or "Skip", which is the resident dog's name. She's very social and enjoys the company of other dogs and is also happy hanging around nearby when foster mom is working. She's never been separated during the day more than 4 hours for potty training reasons, and she does not have "accidents". Cuddly and with happy energy, a good mix of fun and snuggles. Just keep shoes tucked away - she's a curious girl and still mastering her puppy manners. She'll make a great Best Friend for a lucky someone! Cara has heartworms because she was not kept on heartworm prevention, but Humane Tomorrow will pay for her treatment with our partner vet, and the treatments are very successful. Please submit your application, and an adoption counselor will contact you.
