I am being rehomed because both my parents are first responders and they want me to have more attention than what I get now. They're hoping I have a big house and a fenced yard to play in. I am housebroken and crate trained. I don't have to be crated when they're not home. I live with two other dogs that are much older. I'm great with kids. I'm a little scared of cats.

Adult (1 year 1 month) · Female · Black Labrador Retriever / Mixed · 10 mi from Palm Beach Gardens



I'm a sweet, well trained girl looking for my forever family. My story is I tried out to be a service dog. I gave it my all I know all of my basic commands and a lot of advanced commands. I do well when accompanying you on errands I'm a little shy when it comes to meeting new people so my Trainer didn't think that I would be very happy working as a service dog. I get along great with other dogs. I'm told I'm the most popular girl at doggy daycare because I play well with all size dogs I know how to keep the fun going, but I also know how to get everybody to take a little breaks.

Adopting a dog with children in Palm Beach Gardens
Bring the whole family to meet the dog before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the dog behaves around children your kids' ages.
Teach children to let the dog come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the dog alone while it's eating or sleeping. Give the dog a bed or crate of their own to retreat to, and always supervise young children with a new dog.
Relaxed adult dogs are often a better match for young children than puppies, which jump up, nip and chew while they learn.
