Truffles #2 Chocolate Labrador Retriever Female 4 Years Old #3821
Meet Truffles! Truffles is a beautiful 4 year old purebred Labrador that was surrendered by her owner. Though Truffles lived on a farm, she was not used for breeding. Her owner decided that he wanted a loving indoor life for her and contacted Brookline to help rehome her. Truffles is now in a Brookline foster home. Please read her blog from the bottom up to learn more about her.

Truffles 🤎
Like many dogs coming into foster care—especially those who’ve lived on a farm—it’s been a big adjustment for Truffles.
She at first spent a lot of time panting and pacing, and drank plenty of water as she took everything in.
We’ve also had a bit of water bowl digging… so towels have officially been deployed! 😊
One of the biggest surprises for Truffles? The TV! It was a little overwhelming—she kept trying to leave the room, but couldn’t resist coming back for “just one more look” at what was happening on the screen.
By day two, she’s already starting to settle and even joined us on the couch to watch TV last night.
Her first night was about what we expected. She slept loose with our two dogs and Mark on the couch, waking on and off—panting, settling, then waking again. The second night was better, moving between the floor and the couch and getting a bit more rest.
Truffles has only been interested in soft food so far, likely because she was fed wet mash on the farm. We cooked her some plain chicken today and she enjoyed that—so progress!
It turns out Truffles is also an experienced ball retriever 🐾
She had her vet check and, while nervous, was very compliant for her shots, exam, and even getting her microchip and weighing in at 67 pounds, 
She also had her first walk on leash and did well—we’re hopeful for fewer tangles and more straight lines in her future. Last night she joined us on our last walk of the day at 9:30 pm and did well walking with our dogs she loved all the new sniffs.
Baby steps for Truffles. She was an only dog, often left alone on the farm, so this is a whole new world for her—but she’s adjusting well to all the new experiences around her.
Stay tuned as we get to know this sweet girl better 🤎🐾

Meet Truffles. We took a drive to Lancaster today to give 4-year-old Truffles her rescue ride from the farm.
Her farmer is a kind man who truly wants a home life for her. Truffles has never had any puppies and is now ready to start her next chapter—becoming a beloved family dog and experiencing all the love and new adventures she deserves.
We’ll be fostering Truffles, so stay tuned for updates as we get to know this beautiful chocolate sweetheart 🤎
