About Ma'am

Meet Ma'am, a playful and loving Labrador Retriever and Shepherd mix who's looking for her forever home. At just under two and a half years old, she’s ready for exciting adventures and cozy cuddle sessions. Ma'am loves her walks, enjoys making new pup pals, and is always up for a romp in the park. Currently in a foster home in the DC area, she gets along wonderfully with other dogs and is eager to learn more commands. Ma'am has already picked up on 'sit' and 'come here', and she's very food motivated. Her playful spirit is matched by her ability to settle down for a good snooze after a day of fun. Though she tested positive for heartworms, Ma'am has successfully completed her treatment and is ready for a vibrant life filled with love and care. She’s still in the process of crate training, but so far, she has shown no separation anxiety or house accidents. Can you offer Ma'am the safety and love she is seeking? Give her the home she deserves! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
