All of the animals posted on our site have been temperament tested. While not all are in the immediate area, once we have processed and approved your application, we will move the dog to our adoptive area for you to meet, greet and hopefully adopt. Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant.

Beautiful and black, with a coat that just shines in the sun, Avery has all the ingredients it takes to make an ideal family dog or best friend for an individual. Her black lab genes give her that outgoing personality that make this breed the most popular dog in the country. The reputation for happy, good temperament is well deserved and evident in our Avery. She is so friendly that her tail is almost in constant motion. Sometimes she even wags it while she is asleep and dreaming! Avery is always delighted to meet new people, loves to go for walks, would be so thrilled to play in your yard. She would be perfect for an exercise buddy. In the prime of her life, we can see her going hiking with you, camping, attending those little league games, really being a part of your family. This great dog is healthy and ready to go!
