Adopt a Black Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat)

Here are some very important things you need to know about Izzy

Approximate age/birthdate: ~ October 2013

Weight/size: 50 - 55 lbs

Housebroken:  YES … as long as you do your part taking her outside

Crate trained:  YES

Personality: a typical rowdy, playful lab mix pup who just wants to be played with and loved

Energy level:  Medium with bursts of high … although she does settle down nicely once she’s had a good play

Fenced yard required?:   YES … she needs a safe place to run and play off-leash

Does he/she jump fences?  NO

Leash walk:  YES

Obedience training:  Knows ‘sit’

Riding in vehicles:  RIDES OK     

Spayed/neutered:   YES 

Up-to-date on routine vaccinations:   YES

Microchipped:   YES

Social with other dogs:  YES but should be slowly and properly introduced to new friends

Social with cats:  She barks at the cats and would chase them … probably better with no cats

Good with children: We think she would be good with children 8 and over … old enough and large enough not to be intimidated by her lab-happy energy.  We have seen her calm appropriately to meet and greet younger children which has been very endearing.

Adoption donation:  $175

Izzy came to us from an Animal Control facility with her sister (who has been adopted).   She is a very happy, sweet, loving pup who needs to be with an active person or family who will include her in family activities.  She really seems to like children. Izzy is very active and loving and she listens well. She just needs to have a strong leader to help her remember her manners.  She has so much love to give and she will make you smile!

If you think Izzy might be the perfect pup for you, please go to www.allamericanmuttrescue.org, click on Forms/Application and complete your adoption application online.

We are an all-volunteer group, so please be patient and understand that it takes an average of 7-14 days to process the applications including reference checks, follow-up questions and home visits.  You can expedite the process by providing accurate email addresses for all your references.  Time to make phone calls is limited and we often have multiple applications in process.  We make every effort to move through them as quickly as possible.

When your application is approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet to see if Izzy picks you too.

If it seems that the adoption will be a good match for all, there is an adoption fee, and an adoption contract to be signed.

Please feel free to email [email protected] or call 434 841 0411 or 540 297 1590 if you have additional questions.
