Story
💛 Meet Lacey: Gorgeous, Goofy & Full of Love!
Foster Mom says Lacey is a really special girl. This 4 year old, 47lb Labrador Retriever has the looks, the brains, and a heart overflowing with sweetness.
Lacey is housebroken, crate trained, treat motivated, and eager to please. She knows her sit and recall (most of the time—she's still a work in progress!), and she has pretty good leash manners when she isn't overcome with excitement. She's got medium-high energy, so a fenced yard, daily exercise, and some fun activities will help keep her inner puppy happily occupied. Think hikes, adventures, and car rides—not a life of couch potato auditions.
🐶 Other dogs? Friends! Lacey has done well with her smaller canine foster siblings and others she's met. Cats are a bit more complicated: she's exuberant, playful, and occasionally forgets she's 47 pounds of enthusiasm in a fur coat. She's not prey-driven, but a cat household would need confident cats and experienced, dog-savvy humans who can carefully manage their interactions.
❤️ Strangers? Give her a minute. Lacey can be fearful when meeting new people, and her first instinct is to retreat rather than confront. But once she realizes she's safe, the magic happens! She transforms into a playful, gentle, affectionate, silly, snuggly, fiercely loyal lovebug. She has so much love to give once you're in her inner circle.
She's generally a quiet girl, too, with just a little commentary at the door or when you first leave. She settles quickly.
Lacey's ideal match? Someone patient enough to let her warm up at her own pace, active enough to share her adventures, and ready to discover what a wonderful dog she is beneath that initial shyness.
Busy brewery? Sidelines at a youth soccer game? Thanks, but no thanks. A peaceful home, outdoor adventures, and quality time with her favorite humans? ABSOLUTELY YES!

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
