Labrador Retriever - Dolina - Medium - Young - Female - Dog

　　Dolina: Lab/Golden Mix, Spayed female, 2 years old, 35 pounds. To learn about Dolina's story, we need to go back to her mother Dolinas mom is a Lab and Golden Retriever mix - a factory owner's dog that had a lonely sad life being chained outside around the clock, through winter and summer, having nothing for shelter. A young couple living across from the factory couldn't bear to see the poor female shiver in the cold winter nights and swelter in the hot summer sun, so they decided to talk to the owner in hopes he could improve his dog's life. Unfortunately the owner couldn't care less about Dolinas mom and he told the couple they could have her if they wanted since he was tired of his dog being too friendly to be a watch dog. Immediately, the kind-hearted couple took Dolina's mother home where she could keep their own dog company. At this time, Dolina's mother was already pregnant and a few weeks later, she gave birth to Dolina and four other healthy cute puppies. However, having two adult dogs and five puppies at home, the couple became overwhelmed by the tremendous amount of work required to care for a full house of dogs. Stress for the couple was mounting so the wife reached out for help. Dolina and her sisters, Piin Piin, Sherry, Laura and Fifi have settled well into their foster homes. Due to their former life where they werent walked regularly, they needed a little time to adjust to their new surroundings but once they did, they quickly warmed up and are very cuddly and people-oriented. Thankfully, all the pups are very friendly and eager to please and learn. With kind handling, they quickly blossomed into wonderful companions. With their foster parents help, they are making progress and becoming more sociable every day. Dolina is a beautiful spayed white-haired dog. She has been given all her shots and her blood work shows shes one healthy girl. Like all her sisters, Dolina is a sweet and friendly girl. She is gentle with children and well-mannered on her leash. It takes just a minute for Dolina to warm up with people she meets but shes very affectionate after that. She enjoys her walks and walks well on her leash. Dolina likes to make friends with the other dogs she meets at the park. Dolina is playful but requires a few minutes to get to know other dogs before becoming good friends with them. She gets along well with children and cats. We are looking for a loving family for this sweet girl. Please help us give deserving Dolina her happily ever after!
