Libby, Labrador retriever and boxer mix
Libby is an adorable female Labrador retriever and boxer mix currently residing at St. Francis Society Animal Rescue.
Libby will get along great with other dogs, but she is looking for a cat-free family. She is already spayed, and she has had all her shots. Have no fear: Libby is already house-trained, too.
Here's what Libby's friends at St. Francis Society Animal Rescue think of her:
Libby is 4.5 years old and 55 pounds. She has separation anxiety, fear of thunderstorms and wants to chase everything that moves, including kitties, but she is loving and listens and tries to please you. She wants nothing more than to sleep in bed right next to you and cuddle!

Emma, greyhound
Emma is a winsome female greyhound currently residing at Bay Area Greyhound Adoptions, Inc.
Emma gets along well with other dogs. She's mastered her house-training etiquette; her vaccinations are already up-to-date and she's spayed.
Emma's current caretakers say:
Emma is a lovely, gentle and affectionate girl. She will come to you fully vetted: spayed, teeth cleaned, vaccines, rabies testing and micro-chipped. Emma seems to take everything in stride and loves everyone she meets. She does not bark much and is otherwise quiet and easygoing in the house. Emma is in no way an alpha type and is content to follow another dog around.
