LOANIE Labrador Retriever Mix Dedham, MA

MEET LOANIE! Loanie is one of the dogs who came to us directly from a shelter in the Bahamas. She is a shy but very sweet and playful girl who is new to life here in New England. She started her life at a shelter in the Bahamas living with a bunch of other dogs and being well cared for by the caretakers at the sanctuary. She has learned so much in just the last few weeks here including walking on leash, being comfortable indoors and interacting with many different staff. We are starting to get an idea of her likes/dislikes and have come to realize she really is still very much a puppy at heart! To set her up for success she would do best in a home with another friendly/social dog or even a multi-dog household since she finds comfort in the company of other dogs. A quiet/rural environment is best as she has no experience living in an urban environment and can be fearful of lots of noises, cars and bicycles. A fenced yard is a requirement due to her still learning to be on leash. If she has an opportunity to run, play and use the bathroom in a yard situation she can then slowly acclimate to leash walks at her own pace. Though she has her quirks, Loanie truly is a sweetheart. Due to her fear we are requiring multiple visits so she has a chance to spend time with you before the big adventure of going to her new home. Loanie is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed/neutered, microchipped and been seen by our vet team.
