Eliza, Labrador retriever mix

Eliza is a lovable female Labrador retriever puppy currently residing at Hands, Hearts and Paws.

Eliza loves other dogs. Fear not: She's already house-trained. Eliza is vaccinated.

Eliza's current caretakers say:

Eliza is beautiful chocolate lab mix born 12/10/2016. She is a very sweet, smart girl who is already potty-trained, kennel-trained and knows basic commands like sit and shake. She does still have some room for improvement on walks because she can’t control her happiness to be out and about, so forgets her manners and pulls on the leash. She would thrive with someone who would enjoy taking her to training classes and picks up new things quickly with consistent practice.

Ozigbo's current caretakers say:

Ozigbo was born around 2/6/19. He spent a month of his life living in a vet clinic being treated for a horrible case of mange, and his transformation is amazing! He had to have been so miserable before treatment. He is a sweet puppy who is learning the ropes of being in a home.

Peaches, German shepherd and Labrador retriever mix

Peaches is friendly as can be, and she loves other dogs. She's already vaccinated.

Peaches' current caretakers say:

Peaches is an energetic Lab/shepherd mix who wants nothing more than to be with a family that can give her the love and attention she deserves. She loves to run and would love to be someone's jogging partner! She would also do best in a household that has another dog of similar size to play with and keep her company when you are busy. No small dogs please.
