Meet Thia, a lively 1-year-old Lab/Retriever mix with a heart full of love and a personality that shines. Although she has spent many tough months in a kennel, she remains affectionate and eager for attention. Thia thrives on human interaction and is happiest when included in daily activities. Her intelligence is evident as she eagerly learns new commands and enjoys playtime, especially with water and her stuffed toys. Thia has been working hard with her trainer to tackle her reactivity towards other dogs and passing cars. While she may bark or lunge at these distractions, she simply needs a patient adopter ready to continue training and help her navigate the world confidently. Currently, her potty training is in progress, and a supportive home routine will aid her development. Her ideal home would include an adopter committed to her training, a space for her to run and explore, and a family that can appreciate her strong, active nature. Thia would do best as the only pet in a household with older, dog-savvy children. Despite her past, she is full of hope and eager for a loving family. If you're ready for a loyal companion who just needs someone to believe in her, Thia is waiting to meet you. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
