Bama's Story

This gorgeous girl is a Lab (or maybe a mix), about 2 years old with a shiny black coat. Sadly, her life before us wasn’t great. She probably lived outside, tied up or in a pen, having litter after litter. She’s already had two or three. And yes, she’s heartworm positive, but we’ve got that covered!<br/><br/>Bama, formerly known as Confetti, spent over two months in an overcrowded shelter, and she was likely close to being on the dreaded list. But we couldn’t let that happen. We said, “She’s coming with us!”<br/><br/>During Bonding Week, we gave her toys, and she didn’t know what to do with them at first.<br/><br/>But she’s learning, gaining confidence each day, and bonding with the men. She was a bit unsure about them when they first met, but now she’s warming up, and already has some favorites! She even had her first little bounce chasing a ball!<br/><br/>At 68 pounds, Bama is going to make a wonderful family dog by the time she graduates. She might find young kids a bit overwhelming, but some older kids to play with and snuggle up to? That sounds perfect for her.
