About Hope soulful

Hope Soulful is a lovely three-year-old Labrador mix who found her way from the streets to a warm, loving environment. Having faced hardships, she is still discovering her rightful place in a home. She weighs around 35 pounds and has a short coat that highlights her unique white eyelashes, giving her a soulful appearance. While she does great indoors, it's best that she goes to a family that understands she may still be working through her past experiences. She is crate trained, fully house trained, and loves being a part of the family. Hope prefers the company of male dogs and can feel a bit insecure around more dominant ones. Finding her home was serendipitous; she jumped over the fence and made her way back to connect with some puppies she had met before, showing her gentle yet courageous spirit. She's now looking for a loving family that will allow her to blossom at her own pace. If you feel you can provide that understanding environment, fill out an application at upshotdogrescue.org.
