Give a big hug to Gloria! This sweet, loving, super-affectionate Lab mix is looking for a forever home that can offer plenty of cuddling and lap time. A total people pleaser, she's not one to seek out the spotlight, but is just happy to be part of the family. At three years old, Gloria has the maturity to fit right in as a responsible member of the household, but still maintains a youthful spirit and enjoys playtime with human or canine companions; she especially loves playing chase and bitey-mouth.

Fully housebroken, calm in the car, and crate-trained, Gloria would do best with an owner who's home a lot, but is perfectly comfortable in a crate when left alone. She's a bit of a couch potato, extremely gentle and even-tempered around other dogs, but will need some extra training to lose her habit of pulling while on leash. Abandoned on a rural property just before birthing a litter of puppies (they're in foster care for now), Gloria needs -- and deserves -- a stable, loving family willing to open up their hearts and their home. Come meet Gloria to see if she's the one.
