Tally (Benefactor Dog) - Yellow Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle Dog for Adoption in New Orleans, Louisiana

Meet Tally!

Tally is a 5-year-old, 60-pound Doodle who has somehow achieved the rare equilibrium of being wonderfully playful and deeply committed to the serious business of getting comfortable.

She is great with kids, good with other dogs, potty trained, crate trained, exceptionally affectionate, and so well behaved that one starts to wonder whether she has been quietly judging the rest of us.

Tally loves playing outside and would do best with a fenced yard where she can stretch her legs, investigate the premises, and conduct whatever mysterious recreational affairs occupy a Doodle in her leisure hours. Then, having fulfilled her athletic obligations, she is entirely prepared to retire indoors for cuddling and advanced relaxation.

Her preferred headquarters is a big comfy chair, which she occupies with the confidence of someone who has read the deed. Tally understands that furniture is not merely functional. It is a lifestyle.

She is sweet, loving, gentle, companionable, and just an exceptionally good girl. She can play when you want to play, settle when you want to settle, love on the kids, coexist happily with other dogs, and then claim the best chair in the house with absolutely no remorse.

Tally is looking for a family with a fenced yard, plenty of affection, and ideally one piece of furniture everyone is emotionally prepared to lose forever.
