About Mary

Mary is a delightful pup, equal parts spunky and sweet, who is eagerly searching for her forever family. She's a playful girl who absolutely thrives on romping around with other dogs, engaging in joyful wrestling, games of tug, and shared snuggles. Mary is well-mannered around adults and has shown herself to be loving and social with children aged 10 and up. She's also a smart cookie, already house-trained and crate-trained, though she does have a unique quirk of being protective of her crate space.

As a Labrador Retriever mix, Mary possesses a friendly and outgoing nature, combined with intelligence and a desire to please. Her mixed heritage likely contributes to her energetic and adaptable personality. She's still a young dog, so she's diligently working on her manners, such as keeping all four paws on the floor when greeting people and resisting the urge to 'surf' for snacks. Mary knows 'sit' and comes when called most of the time, even learning to ring bells to go outside, sometimes cleverly using it as a distraction for her foster brother!

Mary would flourish in a home ready to continue her training with consistency and positive reinforcement. An ideal environment would offer some structure and, most importantly, include a friendly, playful canine sibling who can match her energy and help her learn. If you're looking for an affectionate, clever, and fun-loving young dog to grow and learn with, Mary could be the perfect addition to your family. She is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations.
