RELISH - Labrador Retriever and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Ocala, Florida

Oh, hi there! I am Relish. Truth be told, I actually find humans a little bit scary. I was on my own for a while with other pups, and I definitely understand canine companionship better than human companionship, but I am so young and have so much potential, with a patient, kind person who can allow me time to decompress and build confidence, I do believe I could begin to blossom. Being around social, confident dogs has definitely helped me come out of my shell, and while I'm not yet a party animal, I have been warming up in playgroups. I know I may need a little extra patience at first, but I promise I'm worth getting to know. I'm looking for someone who will let me take things slow, celebrate the little victories, and show me that humans can be pretty wonderful after all. I think I just might surprise you with the dog I'm capable of becoming. Please, show me how to RELISH life with you!

Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
