Umbreon is thriving in her foster home, and it’s clear she’s something special. This striking 3-year-old Labrador Retriever mix arrived as a stray, a bit hesitant at first, but she quickly reveals her warm side once she trusts you. Beneath her shy introduction is a true velcro dog who craves closeness—snuggles, kisses, and belly rubs seem to be her love language. She’s adapted quickly to home routines: housebroken, quiet, non-destructive, and comfortable being left alone during the workday. While she’s still brushing up on leash manners, her foster notes that a few rounds of fetch and short walks make her plenty content; marathons aren’t her thing. Soft plush toys don’t last long with her, but squeakier, tougher toys are always a hit. Umbreon is making real progress with positive reinforcement and responds to patience and gentle encouragement. She’d do best with adopters willing to help her keep building confidence. With the right introductions, she may get along with other animals and can live with respectful children ages 3 and up while she settles in. Fun fact: Umbreon was born under the sign of Aries—no wonder she’s so lively and determined once she feels comfortable. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
