Sailor - Black Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Jarrettsville, Maryland

Looking for a dog who thinks "alone time" is deeply offensive? Great news!! Sailor is available.

Sailor is a 1-year-old lab mix who is calm, sweet, good with dogs of all sizes, good with cats, and happiest when attached directly to her person at all times. She carries toys around the house, leans against you like a weighted blanket, and follows you from room to room like a little security guard.

The catch? Separation anxiety.

Sailor can peacefully hang out with you all day without making a sound. But the second you leave, she acts like you've been drafted into war and may never return. She gets stressed, barks, and may have accidents despite being nearly potty trained.

She is currently on trazodone and doing better, but she needs someone patient who understands anxiety and is willing to help her work through it.

Honestly, Sailor would make an incredible emotional support dog... while also needing emotional support herself. It's a very codependent situation, but she brings a lot of love to the table. Sailor is hoping to find someone who will see just how wonderful she is despite her struggles and give her the chance she deserves.
