Dawn Black Labrador Retriever Mix Female ~7-8 Months Old
Dawn Black Labrador Retriever Mix Female ~7-8 Months Old
Meet Dawn! Dawn is a super cute and sweet approximately 7-8 month old Lab mix that was found stray in Mississippi. She showed up on someone’s rural property in Mississippi and they were threatening to euthanize her since she wouldn’t leave. A good Samaritan heard about her and immediately went to go pick Dawn up and has been fostering her for a couple of weeks. A rescue partner reached out to Brookline to help rehome her as loving indoor homes are hard to find in that rural area of Mississippi. Dawn is currently in foster care in MS and is looking for a foster home to help move her North so she can find her forever home. Reach out to info@brooklinelabrescue.org for more information on how you can foster Dawn. Please read her blog from the bottom up to learn more about her.

Dawn has been living at my home in an outside kennel for a couple of weeks now. She can be a little shy with people at first but has really gotten much more comfortable and confident with me.
She met my friend Dakota, and while she was a little nervous, she came over to see him with a waggy tail and gave him some kisses. 
It didn’t take long until Dakota could approach her and give her pets. The hotdogs that he gave her seemed to make her really happy and let her build up confidence that he was a nice guy.
Dawn really lights up around other dogs, and would really benefit from another calm, playful and confident dog to help show her the ropes of living inside a home.
She takes treats gently and is just learning to walk on a leash.
Dawn loves the water and happily hangs out in the kiddie pool that I have set up for her in her kennel so she can cool off.
She also likes to chase balls but has not learned the art of bringing it right back to me for another toss. She likes to get the ball and then have a fun game of chase with me or one of the other dogs.
As she was a stray living out in the woods in a rural part of MS, and is currently kenneled outside, Dawn will need a patient foster who is willing to take the time to expose Dawn to new sight and sounds of life inside a house.
Dawn is heartworm negative and on preventatives. She currently weighs in at 41lbs.
Dawn has had her first round of vaccinations and is due to receive her booster and spay October 1 so she should be ready for transport mid-October.
