Lily Pearl Labrador Retriever Mix Schaumburg, IL

Hi! My name is Lily Pearl, and I am an affectionate, intelligent approximately 60 lb., two-year old cutie pie! I am listed as a Labrador mix, with soft black, tan & white brindled fur, big light brown eyes and a determined, passionate, fun-loving personality. I truly have a desire to bond with you, eager to receive your love and kindness. Can I be your buddy? I'm learning how to socialize within a family through TLC, a feeling of security, and lots of patience. I love to cozy up with you, and I want to get/give hugs and kisses! When I was little, I may have been taken away from my mom too soon, so I'm learning how to socialize appropriately with other pets. I do try to hang out with my small foster friends, but I do so in small doses. When in public, I'm sweet, timid and curious to say hello. At home, I like to enrich my day with many types of durable toys, balls and cognitive enrichment games. I rest in my crate during the day, and it's easy to call me to go to 'bed.' I would welcome additional positive training, but harshness won't work with me. An experienced dog owner is ideal, as well as someone who works from home. I do well with a harness, when walking on a leash, but I'm a strong girl! I would love to have a fenced in backyard to chase balls, sniff the leaves and run & jump to work out my energy! Any chance you like to run or like agility courses for dogs? I'd love to participate with you! I'll need a family that is nurturing, gentle and praising of my efforts, as I can be a quick learner, and I even know some directions, like sit, stay, touch, hug and kiss! I promise to return the favor with love and affection! In addition, I'm comfortable going potty using cloth puppy pads inside, too. Can I hang out on the couch with you? I prefer to sleep with my family in a bed at night, but I have been sleeping in a crate, and I'll walk right in! I am not spayed yet, but I'm up to date on my shots, micro-chipped, and ready for my new family! My adoption fee is $350, with an additional $100 deposit that's 'refunded' once you show proof of spay. I am being fostered in Schaumburg, IL, which is about an hour south of the Wisconsin border.
