Rain

Rain is looking for a family to spend the rest of her life with. She
promises to give lots of snuggles and kisses and work really hard on training to become a well behaved girl. She asks that you be patient with her since she is still very young and still has a lot to learn.

Female

Lab/shepherd mix

7 weeks old (Birthdate: 3/21/18)

Estimated size full grown - 50 pounds.

She is considered a large breed dog.

Her coat is brindle with white markings on her chin, chest and paws.

                                                                                               
She can be timid at first with strangers and other dogs. She usually needs a several minutes to warm up. She loves to snuggle and be held once she gets to know you.

Rain is calmer than normal puppies for now. I am hoping as she becomes more confident she will be more of a typical puppy with lots of puppy energy.  For that reason a fence is highly recommended for her. Because of her breed, she will need lots of exercise to burn of her Labrador energy. Daily walks or trips to the dog park would really help her become more confident and get her much needed exercise.  She rides well in the car and usually sleeps.

She is beginning to learn some basic commands such as come and sit. She is a typical puppy and would do best with additional training. She is not leash trained yet, simply because of her age, but will do well with training. She is working on crate training and sleeps through the night ~7-8 hours. She is also working hard on potty training but, as with all puppies, she will need additional potty training. Rain is a typical puppy that will require ongoing training.
