Starla – Yellow Female, 2 years, 60 lbs.
If you’re looking for a lab without the lab size, Starla is it! Starla was found as a county stray who kept showing up on the road in traffic. Thankfully, someone finally caught her and delivered her to the Renewers of Hope, the Labrador Retriever Rescue of Fresno, who gave Starla a second lease on life. Starla appears to be a backyard dog who was never allowed in the house or given any attention.
Starla has learned a lot at her foster’s house. She now stands by the door if she needs to go outside to take care of business. it. She loves to eat and is motivated by treats which has aided in her training. Despite being a bit of a work in progress with her training, she’s learning commands and showing great promise. She’s good on a leash but is easily distracted; however, keeping cookies in your pocket will do the trick.
Starla is an affectionate and gentle foster dog who adores cuddling and being close to her humans. She will need a family that can match her young energy level and is committed to continued training. She gets along great with her foster brother; they play tug and chase every morning and evening and will even share a dog bed together. She would be great in a home with another dog that matches her playfulness. Starla is also surprisingly cat-savvy and gets along well with felines. She does have a sensitive side and can be easily spooked by loud noises, especially fireworks, so it’s best to keep her calm during these times. Overall, Starla is a gentle soul who would thrive in a quiet home with a loving family who can provide her with the attention and care she craves.
Starla is available for adoption through the Labrador Retriever Rescue of Fresno. She gets along well with dogs, and people after she warms up to you. She is an adorable girl who is happy, loving and just wants to please and be loved. Please remember that at a year old, a Labrador is still in the puppy stage so a commitment to exercise and training will help Starla continue to learn manners and be the best family member she can be.
