Labrador Retriever

Meet Missy, Missy and Charlie will be going into their 5th month at the shelter. We have had zero interest in adopting them together. We have reached out to try and find them a foster together, but again had no interest. We did however have a foster home reach out interested in fostering Missy. After much discussions and consideration, we decided that trying Missy in a foster without Charlie would be a good choice, it would give us a chance to truly see how she did without him, with the ability to bring her back if she was not thriving. It has been a month now and MIssy has thrived in her foster home, and Charlies dog reactivity at the shelter has actually improved. We are now confident in our decision to offer them for adoption seperately. Missy's foster family has been truly amazing in helping us figure out the ideal home for her. Missy is a senior black lab, she is around 9yrs old. She is quiet and easy going, but she does still love her long walks and even a moderate run. So would do best in a moderatly active home. She would also do well in a home with another male dog, with a similar temperment to her, but NO female dogs, she has been tested with a few females and it was a no for her. She lived with a cat in her past life, so with proper introductions she would likely be fine with cats. She is good with kids, but may be overhwlmed in a large, loud family. If she was to be adopted into a home with no other dog, she would be fine, but we suspect there would be some anxiety to work on if she was left on her own. So her ideal home - one other male dog with a similar personality and activity level as her, possibly cats and kids. Moderatly active, and willing to put time and work in if she needs some help adjusting. We have supports with trainers here to get her new home started as well.
