Maribel's Story

Maribel — The Happiest 55‑Pound Lab Mix You’ll Ever Meet<br/><br/>Meet Maribel! This sweet, wiggly, sunshine‑in‑dog‑form girl is about 55 pounds of pure joy. Her foster mom calls her a “fat, happy girl,” and while the vet may agree on the fluffy part, Maribel proudly agrees on the happy part. Truly, everything makes this girl smile — new dog friends, new people, things with wings, and even those fluffy‑tailed squirrels she tries so hard to befriend.<br/><br/>Maribel’s past is a bit of a mystery. She was adopted as a puppy in 2023, then returned to the shelter by her former family. But she didn’t let that dim her spirit. The moment her foster mom opened her kennel, Maribel zoomed out with the speed of a squirrel on the run, ready to start fresh.<br/><br/>She’s friendly with dogs, great with people of all ages, and loves being part of the action. She does get excited and may jump when she’s happy, but she’s working hard on her manners. She’s also a quiet girl — not a barker — though she may whimper a little when her humans leave because she loves them so much.<br/><br/>Maribel is:<br/><br/>- Dog friendly <br/>- Kid friendly <br/>- Fully potty trained <br/>- Fully vetted <br/>- Sweet, social, and endlessly cheerful<br/><br/>She’d thrive in almost any home, from active families to laid‑back households. She just wants love, companionship, and a place to call her forever.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal, goofy, heart‑melting companion, Maribel is ready to meet you.<br/><br/>Apply today to bring this happy girl home.
