Ember Labrador Retriever Mix New Orleans, LA

Meet Ember - the cutest mini lab around! This one is special and is on the hunt for a forever family to match.

Ember came from an outside hoarding situation with little to no human contact. She was surrendered to the shelter with her two puppies, swarming with fleas, and missing a lot of her hair. She was absolutely frozen in fear. We crossed our fingers and took a chance. Her puppies have found their forever homes and with time and patience, Ember has opened up and blossomed in her foster home. Now it’s her turn to find her people.

Ember is a little over one-year-old, 45 pounds, and best guess is a small lab mix with big round eyes, a shimmering, gorgeous coat, and speckled chest. She is now caught up on all of her vetting, is microchipped, spayed, has completed all of her heartworm treatment, and is just waiting on that final negative test result. She is potty trained/pad trained but is nervous with the kennel so she hangs out in the living room in her foster home. She will need some more leash training, loves the couch, her dog bed, other dog friends, and dog toys.

We aren’t looking for a quick fit, but the perfect fit for this deserving girl. Her ideal family will be patient with her timidness, have at least one other dog, and no small children. She is a flight risk until she feels safe so a secure yard and AirTag is a requirement. Whether it’s hours or days before she opens up, there is nothing better than having earned that big smile, a nose boop, and pawing for pets from this sweet girl. She is worth every minute of patience and she will be so grateful and adore you for the rest of her life once she decides you are hers.
