India is a precious puppy who looks like a mini-Lab. This baby was surrendered to Animal Control by her owner. We suspect a financial crisis caused this decision because she is very sweet, a little shy, but a doll. The administrator was so enthralled with India that she called Judy and asked if there was anyway we could take her. Happy to do so!

India was adopted back in January but a change in the owner situation has caused him to bring her back to us. India was enrolled in a puppy training class and she has learned many tricks including sit, laydown, wait, up, etc. She is also fully housetrained and is excellent with all people and other dogs. India is a very energetic dog who loves her people and would do well in a home with someone whom is active and home often. She loves her people so much she can be whinny if left alone for a long time. Her previous owner was very upset about giving her up and says, "really there is nothing I can say bad about her!"

*** According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Labrador Retriever is a loving, affectionate, lovable, patient dog. Once known as the "St John's Dogs," the Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. Originally from Newfoundland, Canada the Labrador was trained to jump overboard into the icy waters to haul fisherman's nets to shore. Specimens were brought to England in the 1800's by English ships coming from Labrador, where the dog's fine retrieving instincts were honed and developed. One of the best family dogs and canine companions because of their gentle, loving disposition, the highly trainable Labrador also excels in drug detection, as a guide for the blind, and service dog for the disabled. The breed is also an outstanding obedience and field trial competitor. Highly intelligent, loyal, willing, and high-spirited. Lively and good-natured, they love to play, especially in water - for they love to swim. They have an excellent, reliable, temperament and are friendly, superb with children and equable with other dogs. They crave human attention and need to feel as though they are part of the family. Labs are easily trained. These dogs are watchdogs, not guard dogs, although some have been known to guard. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
