Happy 's Story
Meet Happy — The Name Says It All<br/><br/>Happy is a 47‑lb lab mix who truly lives up to her name. She’s a joyful, playful girl who can entertain herself by tossing toys in the air and chasing them, but she’s even happier when she has a dog friend her size to romp with. She loves other dogs, though her enthusiasm can be a bit much for smaller or more timid pups.<br/><br/>Happy is also a big fan of people. She currently lives with teenagers and adores them and their friends. Because she’s energetic and still learning not to jump, we recommend a home without small children.<br/><br/>Personality & Play Style<br/>- Very playful and energetic <br/>- Gets mouthy when excited — her “play biting” is improving but still present <br/>- Startles at unexpected noises <br/>- Can be possessive of her food <br/><br/>Training & Activity Needs<br/>Happy is a smart girl who’s working on her basic commands like “sit” and “touch.” She enjoys her daily walks and is always ready to chase anything that moves — rabbits, birds, leaves, you name it. She currently walks 2–3 miles a day across 3–4 outings. Because of her prey drive and energy level, a fenced yard is strongly recommended.<br/><br/>Health & House Manners<br/>Happy completed treatment for heartworm in October and has successfully been weaned off her post‑treatment heart medication. At this time, she does not appear to need further heartworm treatment. <br/><br/>She is housebroken, though while on a diuretic she needed to go out every 1.5–2 hours during the day. She sleeps in a crate at night and can hold it for a full 8 hours without accidents.<br/><br/>Who She’s Looking For<br/>Happy is a very sweet, affectionate dog who will thrive with someone willing to continue her training, help her channel her energy, and provide plenty of toys and enrichment. She would love a home with a playful dog her size and an adopter who appreciates her joyful, goofy spirit!
