WASHINGTON 鈥� Meet Meadow, a hound/Labrador retriever mix who is hoping for a home for the holidays 鈥� and for the rest of her life.
This pretty 10-month-old girl is very friendly and playful, and seems to like everyone she meets. While at the Washington Animal Rescue League, Meadow has learned how to 鈥渟it鈥� for a treat and is very food motivated, so training her should be a snap.
She is protective over her food聽and doesn鈥檛 think highly of having her mealtimes interrupted, so we recommend a home with mature family members who understand this. Also on the top of Meadow鈥檚 wish list: human companions who will play with her, take her for regular walks, continue her training and socialization 鈥� and give her lots of love.
Could that be you? Stop by WARL soon and find out.
