DAFFODIL - Labrador Retriever and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Dayton, Ohio

Meet Daffodil! At 2 years old, this sweet Lab mix has a lot of love to give, and she’s not shy about showing it! Daffodil is a treat-loving girl who is eager to engage with her people. She knows “sit” and is still working on consistently following through on her cues. And sometimes, when she’s asked to sit, she has a different idea: jumping up for a big ol’ hug and resting her head sweetly against your chest. While we’ll want to help Daffodil learn that all four paws belong on the floor, it’s pretty hard not to smile when it's clear this affectionate girl just wants to be close to you. Daffodil can be energetic and playful, too. She enjoys sniffing and exploring outside, and once she gets comfortable, she may even break into some zoomies! She’ll need an adopter who can give her the patience, consistency and positive guidance she needs as she continues learning. She has also met small children and did great! Have children at home? Bring them to meet this sweet girl. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate girl who is ready to learn and has plenty of love to give, come meet Daffodil!
