Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Bellingham, Washington

Hi, my name is Romy! I'm a PURPLE pawprint, which means I will fit well into a home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:
-Personality: Social, active
-Can Live with Kids: Yes, Romy should be fine living with respectful kids of any age.
-Can Live with Cats: Unknown history with cats but would likely be fine with dog-savvy, confident cats. Slow and supervised introductions required.
-Can Live with Dogs: Yes, Romy would likely benefit from having a well-socialized dog to learn from! Introductions held at WHS.
-Can do Apartment Living: Not recommended due to energy levels and size.
-Potty Trained: Needs a little work - still a puppy!
-Bite History: No
-Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Yes she is required to be signed up for puppy prep classes.
-Energy Level: High!
-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes a spay
-Additional Information: Romy is a wonderful young lab girl who is looking for a stable, permanent home. Like any puppy, Romy is going to need: consistent positive reinforcement training, a predictable routine, responsible socialization with people and other animals, stability, and plenty of exercise / mental stimulation. Her adopter(s) will need to be home often / have a flexible schedule, as puppies cannot be left alone long hours. Romy has some typical lab behaviors already like being people oriented, happy-go-lucky, and energetic! She will be a great companion for the right family that can provide her with the continued training she needs.
