About Tala

Meet Tala, an 8-year-old female Labrador Retriever with a sunny yellow coat. Weighing in at 65 lbs, she has endured quite a lot but is now thriving in care after being rescued from a hoarding situation. Tala arrived in rough shape and is now regaining her health with some much-needed TLC. This friendly girl has a classic Lab temperament—gentle and loving. She’s house-trained, walks easily on a leash, and loves to be part of your activities. Tala settles down nicely on her dog bed and sleeps soundly through the night. She takes treats gently, adding to her charm. Tala is ready for her forever home, ideally one with minimal steps and where she can enjoy the royal treatment. She gets along well with other dogs and children who respect her space. While she has a sweet demeanor, she deserves to be treated like the lovely queen she is. Tala is up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and heartworm negative. She will be spayed in the future and may need a visit to the dermatologist.
