Marla is a wonderful lab 9 year old lab. Buddy is an equally sweet 8 year old Australian cattle dog mix. They are great with other dogs and people. When not out on a walk they love to lounge around and cuddle up on the couch. The two are great with kids including toddlers and babies. Only rehoming because my family is moving overseas.

Story
River joined our family 4 years ago after we found in a local animal shelter. There wasn't much of a history from before. Since that time and now, she is an amazing dog. She is great with our kids even with them jumping all over them. She is good with our cats but mostly has to ignore them because they are not fond of her. We do not know exactly how old she is, but I would guess no younger than 8 or older than 10. She is a low energy dog and goes on a walk a day. Though she would go more if we took her. She is pretty good on the leash when it comes to pulling; however, she does get excited to meet dogs along the way and does pull then. We put unknown on if she is good with dogs because she is in a one dog family. What we do know is this: 1) she does well with most dogs her size and larger, 2) smaller dogs that bark a lot get her way excited, and 3) she loves to bark to let dogs know it is her house. We wouldn't be rehoming her except for military orders overseas.

Luna is great dog!!! She is very smart!! Typical hyper young lab that needs more attention than we give her. She does “bully” our older dog and doesn’t let her eat or drink ( this is why she needs a new home ) She would be a perfect only dog !
