Lori - Black Labrador Retriever and Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Wadena, Minnesota

Lori is 45 lbs and HW negative. Appears to be house trained, walks well on leashes and knows basic commands. During playgroups, these ladies were the first to learn new instructions and quickly demonstrated what was expected of them in a single afternoon!! Super smart is an understatement!! Both girls love other dogs and do VERY well in playgroups. She also loves our shelter kitty (who is very calm and cool when meeting new dogs.)

Lori is friendly, but slightly shy at first. She is gentler than Leslie and is always checking in with people and the other dogs when in the exercise area.
