About Maru D

Maru D is a wonderful yellow Labrador Retriever who embodies friendliness and warmth. This outgoing girl has spent her life with a loving family but must now find a new home due to unforeseen changes. She adores everyone, from adults to kids, and greets them joyfully on walks. Maru shows little interest in small critters like squirrels and rabbits, focusing instead on enjoying the world around her. During her walks, she behaves well around other dogs, demonstrating kindness and no aggression, even when encountering deer along the way. In her previous home, Maru adapted well to a collar and wireless dog fence. She enjoys outdoor time, whether in a fenced yard or on-leash walks. While she loves treats and toys, she remains polite and not possessive. Training has been a fun experience for her; she eagerly learns commands like sit, down, and come. Though she can be a bit excitable when meeting new faces, she is making progress with her manners. Maru is a completely house-trained and calm presence in her foster home. She enjoys being by her family’s side, whether they’re working, cooking, or relaxing. Regular exercise is essential for her, and she thrives with play, fetch games, and long walks. Car rides and swimming add joy to her life, but a cozy nap is never far behind. Maru is ready for a family that can share an active lifestyle filled with love and companionship.
