My story

　　An amazing companion!

　　I’m Mama Malibu, and I’m a 1.5-year-old Lab mix female, weighing in at 39 pounds.  I recently had a litter of puppies, but I’ve been a gal-on-the-go ever since!  I’ve already been spayed, and my health is in tip-top shape. I’ve mastered potty-training, and my leash manners and crate-training are currently a work in progress. 

　　My foster mama says I’m the sweetest girl with so much love to give to the right family! I’m a pretty active girl, and I love playing tug and fetch, cuddling, going on car rides, and learning new tricks.  However, I also know when to chill out and relax when given the proper cues.  I love other doggie friends – maybe too much! – but I’m working on learning how to calm myself down when being introduced.  Kitties are probably a no for me, and I think older kids who respect my boundaries would be just fine. 

　　Something that I’m working on is my fear-based reactivity, which presents itself as barking at strangers.  I can also be slow to trust, but once you’ve earned it from me, I will shower you with endless cuddles and kisses. 

　　I think I’d best be suited for an active young woman or couple without kids or other doggies.  I’d benefit from some additional training, too, so I’d love to be with someone who is patient and willing to invest the time, energy, and love into me.  With structure, guidance, and mental stimulation, I can become the best girl I can be!

　　My adoption fee is $350 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.  If you want to take me home, please fill out the form on the website here: https://theanimalpad.org/adoption-application/.
