DOG OF THE WEEK - Help Ebony Find Her Forever Home

This 2-year-old Black Labrador Retriever mix needs a new home. Will it be yours?

Ebony is a 2-year-old black Lab mix. She was found as a stray and turned into a shelter in Georgia where she was due to be euthanized. Ebony is a great dog that has a lot of life in her and deserves a chance to be with a happy and loving family. Ebony is spayed, up to date with her vaccinations and micro-chipped. She loves other dogs and is very friendly towards people.

Her foster mom writes, "Ebony settled into our family easily. She loves our 6-year-old daughter, our three dogs, and cats. She is very quiet and gentle. She does need training since she doesn't know any commands at the moment, but we have started to work with her.”

Ebony would do well with an individual or family experienced in handling dogs. She has a propensity to run when not on a lead or in a fenced in area. This trait should be correctable with training and time as she learns to trust her new family.
