Hi Friends
I'm Darby, a 1.5 year old dark yellow female, some might even call me a "red" Lab. I'm coming to Lab Rescue in search of a quiet home with children over the age of 12. I'm great with all ages but I do not appreciate the high pitched screaming of the wee ones and will run and hide.
In the house I am quiet and always by your side. I would like a tidy home to limit my temptation to investigate the garbage and counters. With that said, my daily exercise and mental stimulation has been lacking and we all know a tired dog is a happy dog. I would love a large fenced yard and long walks or hikes every day where I can smell all the things and burn some energy. Admittedly, my leash skills could use some work since I mainly go out on a really long leash in a country field. Going to training classes with my new family would be a great way to showcase how smart I am and help me learn a few new things as well.
I'm super friendly with all new people and take no time at all to warm up. I know this is not polite but I get so excited that I jump up to say hello. Perhaps my new family can help with this.
I've never met a cat per say but I really like to chase squirrels and chipmunks so its probably best I don't live with a cat. I'm great with my bff who is roughly my age and size. We rough house and run for hours until we drop. I love to play fetch and tug but I have never tried swimming, although I do like to splash in the water.
My ideal family would be outgoing and outdoorsy like me but also love to snuggle on the couch at the end of the day. I would make a great addition to any family who has time for exercise, attention and guidance to help me be the best me I can be. A quiet home with older children (if any) and a fenced yard are required. Do I sound like your match?
Love Darby
