Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Betsy is a 1.5-year-old spayed female fox red lab. Betsy weighs 60 pounds and is up to date on shots. This dog is approved for homes with children ages 10 and up.
DESCRIPTION Betsy is a very friendly girl. She will have a training addendum, and if Betsy's new family has a fence, it needs to be a physical fence (not an invisible fence). Betsy was tested on lead with several dogs at the shelter and was excellent. (Betsy just had a neutral reaction.) Betsy was picked up as a stray but was microchipped. The shelter contacted Betsy's owner, but he never picked her up.
Adopters must meet these requirements:
Setting: Rural, Suburban
Dwelling: Single Family Home
Fencing: No Fence Required But If Home Has A Fence, It Must Be A Physical Fence (Not An Invisible Fence)
Betsy is from a rural area and has not been exposed to traffic, noise, or groups of people. If dogs are overwhelmed by their environment, they can exhibit behaviors like excessive barking. For now, to avoid this, we are limiting placement to standalone, single family homes in a suburban neighborhood or rural area. After Betsy has been in a foster home for at least a week or two, we will evaluate if placement can be expanded to include a more urban environment and will send out an update.
This dog is available for adoption from Lab Rescue LRCP. Lab Rescue LRCP rescues and places dogs in Maryland, Virginia, Washington DC, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware and northeast North Carolina (30 miles east of I-95 and north of the Pamlico Sound.) Adopters must travel to Maryland, or Virginia with their family - human and canine - to meet the dog they want to adopt.
Lab Rescue LRCP has between 40 - 80 dogs available for adoption from foster homes across Maryland and Virginia, and at monthly adoption events. The adoption event dates and locations are listed at www.lab-rescue.org.
If you are interested in adopting, please visit www.lab-rescue.org and complete an adoption application. After you submit an application, you will hear from an Adoption Coordinator who will guide you through the adoption process.
An adoption fee is charged to cover the cost of veterinary care and a home visit is required.
