My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

If you're a Labrador lover, you're in luck! This blonde bombshell is Tonya!

Tonya and her buddy Tori (also available!) were found as strays and were never reclaimed by their family. They are possibly littermates and are estimated to be a little younger than a year old. Because she's still a pup, Tonya is fairly energetic and will need a little brushing up on training. 

She LOVES to go on walks with the volunteers and enjoys any one-on-one time she gets with the humans. Be warned, Tonya has been known to cut her walks short and would rather roll around in the grass and be princess-carried back to the shelter. She does really well with other dogs and would likely thrive in a home with a middle-aged dog to help show her the ropes. 

Tonya did briefly meet our office cats (who can be less than welcoming to dogs!) and did show a little reactivity. She will likely need worked with and have a few slow introductions to any potential feline siblings. There isn't a human that Tonya doesn't love, so joining a home with children isn't too much of a concern. 

This pretty Lab girl is truly the whole package and is going to grow into the perfect girl. Whoever ends up adopting her is going to have many years with a wonderful companion.
