Lia - Retriever Dog for Adoption in Loxahatchee Groves, Florida

Hi! My name is Lia! I was rescued in Puerto Rico before arriving at the Big Dog Ranch Rescue. I'm a young puppy with lots of energy and spunk! I love to run around and play! I'm friendly and happy and just want to get to know you. Aside from having tons of energy, sometimes I can be loud, as I don't know how to control my barking yet. You have to remember, I'm a lot like a baby and have not necessarily adapted to a schedule yet so you may find that I'm staying up in my crate at night, and sleeping during the day. I need lots of direction and training, and that doesn't just mean puppy pre-school classes. I need you to show me the right and wrong things to do. Please don't be mad if in the process I wind up chewing some of your belongings or if I have accidents in the house - I promise I will get the hang of things! I require LOTS of time, energy, and patience, but my sweet little face makes it all worth it! This is a learning curve for us both but I promise that if you put the time and energy into helping me grow big and strong, you'll wind up with a wonderful little best friend for life.
