My story

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

*** AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION, FOSTER, or FOSTER TO ADOPT ***

Meet Kuma! She is a brand new graduate of our P.A.C.K. Program, a 9-week intensive program for routine obedience, agility, and handling training with a prison inmate trainer and she is ready to show off her new skills! Her new abilities include 'sit', 'down', 'shake' and more! New adopters should realize that PACK Program graduates will require regular, ongoing reinforcement of learned behaviors in order for them to become permanent.

Kuma is like the Energizer Bunny in Labrador form. True to the breed, she’s delightfully puppy-ish and full of life—and that description fits her perfectly! This girl lives for fetch, playtime, and exercise.

Kuma is friendly with every dog she’s met and does well sharing her toys. She’s affectionate too, especially when it comes to neck scratches and belly rubs. Once her exercise needs are met, she knows how to relax and chill in the house—but getting that energy out first is key!

She is currently on medication to help manage anxiety related to insufficient exercise. We recommend continuing this medication for at least a couple of months after adoption, though it may also be beneficial long-term.

Kuma hasn’t always loved her kennel, but she’s made great progress at PACK and has learned that it’s a safe, comfortable space.

She has been introduced to cats and seemed to do okay. With proper supervision and continued training, she may be able to live successfully in a home with cats.

If you’re looking for an active, loving companion who will keep you moving and then happily snuggle once the day is done, Kuma could be your perfect match! She'll graduate towards the end of January. Apply to meet her today!
