Amaya

My story

Have you ever felt SOOOO happy you ran around with your favorite toy, laughing as loud as you could, hugging everyone you came in contact with and just feeling so lucky to be alive?! Well, my soon-to-be best friends, this is how I live every, single day! My name is Amaya, and I'm a 3-year-old, 65-ish pound Lab mix with a zest for life that is unrivaled. I greet each morning with enthusiasm, joy and curiosity. It is impossible to be around me and not feel happier. I haven't had an easy road, and yet I remain playful and full of hope. I LOVE toys, especially those that squeak and those I can shake and tug. I am housebroken and crate trained, but I can be dog selective - probably because I come on strong when I first meet dogs. With a slower intro and playful pups, I have done well. I have graduated from a basic obedience class, and I’m pretty good on a leash. I sometimes bark at other dogs, but I’m easily disengaged, and I’m working on learning ‘place’ and polite introductions with trainers who are committed to helping my new family understand all the great things I’ve learned! I’m also working on impulse control because - hello, have you met many labs? WE LOVE EVERYTHING!!! I am super smart and eager to please, which makes me an amazing student. I am not cut out for a sedentary life, so I’d love humans who run, bike or hike. I’m very loving and I deserve companions who see what a gem I am and how much happier your life will be with me in it!Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-served basis.
