My story

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

🚨 URGENT ADOPTION NEEDED — Meet Lark! 🐾

Lark is a 6-month-old Labrador mix with the sweetest heart and the brightest future — he just needs a family to share it with. 💛

Recently, we discovered that Lark has a healing fracture in his right hind leg. Douglas Animal Welfare Group has officially approved and covered the cost of his surgery, and he is scheduled for Monday, December 1st.

💔 Here’s the urgent part:
The shelter is not an ideal place for him to recover from such a major surgery. Lark needs a quiet, loving home where he can heal safely and comfortably.

Despite everything he’s been through, Lark is the biggest lovebug — playful, affectionate, and happiest when he’s with his people. He came to us as a stray, so we don’t know much about his past, but we do know his future will be amazing with the right family.

🏡 Lark is looking for a forever home.
If you can open your heart and home to help him heal, please reach out. You’ll be giving a wonderful dog the chance he deserves.

Please share to help Lark find his home! 💕🐶
