Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Aeryn! Aeryn is a sweet 8 month old black lab. She was once an LFS puppy and got adopted, but unforeseen circumstances have caused her owners to have to give her up. Aeryn would make an awesome addition to any family. Keep checking back as we find out more information about Aeryn now that she is all grown up.
UPDATE FROM FOSTER MOM:Aeryn is the easiest and sweetest foster I had. She follows me around all the time. She is so well behaved, and once told "no" once for something, she doesn't repeat it. She is not a chewer and she only plays with her toys. She likes to go for walks and runs. She is a little afraid of men but we are working on this and she is getting better. She sleeps the entire night on a dog bed next to my bed and she waits until the alarm clock goes off before saying hi. She is so absolutely precious and so easy - I hate that she has had a rough start to life, but know that she will make the best companion for someone out there - male or female.
UPDATE: Aeryn is such a sweet, easy, loving, dog...of course, unfortunately still a little scared of males. I have noticed though slight improvements - this afternoon I coaxed her into the chair with my dad and she actually licked his face! She regresses though when she first sees any male that she may have shown improvements with prior - she will bark and back away from them. She does better once they are sitting down. She knows a few tricks - "sit" and "down" and we are currently working on "stay," which she is pretty good at. She is also extremely well behaved - once I tell her no one time, she generally will remember it in the future. For example, she knows she isn't allowed on my couches, and I never have to remind her of that. I also leave her uncrated now, and she is perfect - she's never had an accident in my apartment, knock on wood ;) Also, she gets along fabulously with other dogs - loves to play, run, jump, and tackle. She loves to sniff cats, chase squirrels, and run with dogs. She's my little companion, best friend, and we go everywhere together. Aeryn would make a wonderful addition to the right family who can understand and work on her fears. She had a difficult start of life, lets make sure the rest of her life will be easy!
UPDATE ON AERYN/AKA HARRIET: Harriet is the most perfect, loving, and loyal companion to have. She would be the perfect addition to any family looking for a partner to play with, cuddle with, or laugh with. Having had a rough start in life, Harriet is afraid of males, however with the proper amount of patience and persistence, she does come around and will never forget who her family is. Her best friend is her tennis ball, and absolutely loves to show off at the dog park how she can outrun any other dog that attempts to compete. She gallops in the woods like a kangaroo after squirrels, and is always ready to go for a walk. She knows sit, stay, and down, and we are currently working on shake. She is one dog that will grab your heart and never let go
