Description:
Sadie's name should be boomerang - she was adopted from us a while back, got lost and was picked up again, but we haven't been able to find her home. That's so sad. You can't imagine how sweet she is, and sooo playful. Do you have kids? She'll love them and they'll love her! At 60 pounds, she is big enough to handle it!!!! Not ready to adopt? Perhaps you will consider fostering Sadie. As a foster home, we provide the food and vet services, you provide the love and care! Whether for a week or until final adoption, we welcome whatever foster care you can provide!!!


*** How familiar are you with the Labrador Retriever? According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Labrador Retriever is a loving, affectionate, lovable, patient dog. 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. Some may be reserved with strangers unless very well socialized as puppies. These dogs are watchdogs, not guard dogs, although some have been known to guard. They can become destructive if left too much to their own devices. 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. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
