NEVA**4 YEAR OLD BLACK LAB MIX** 61 POUND FEMALE** COURTESY LISTING** DOB 5/20/2020, 61 lbs; -Lab mix (possibly lab-pit) -Adopted from Staunton, VA SPCA at 8 weeks old; Spayed If you are interested in Neva, please go to www.momsva.org and complete an application. From her current owner: -Fully house broken and doesn't have accidents in the house. She is up to date with her vaccines, etc. Takes Credilio and Interceptor, Hemp Calming vitamins as needed and Trazodone as needed. -Temperament: Excited, happy, wants to love you, initially nervous with new people and environments, takes time to warm up, loves attention. I noticed the onset of anxiety after losing her house, the cat that she lived with and loved, ex husband leaving the home, moving to a new place with no yard or her previous neighbor dog friends. Neva has 2 or more walks a day but was accustomed to running with neighbor dogs daily in her previous home. Not aggressive but nervous with new people. She warms up and then wants to be best friends and kisses you whenever she gets a chance. She loves hugs after she warms up to meeting new people. She'll bark at anyone outside the front door (which makes her a good guard dog, although she is not vicious). She gets anxious when she hears loud noises; she is scared of thunderstorms. She'll find a tight spot to squeeze into to feel safe and secure. She barks at young children and seems to be scared/nervous when they are around. She has never bit anyone but I would exercise caution around children and toddlers as I do not know what she would do if left unsupervised. She sleeps most of the day. She is not (normally) fed table food. She eats 2x per day, morning and evening and loves treats. She was crate trained when she was younger, but we do not crate her now. She is very smart, knows certain items and names of people and several commands. She does have a stubborn streak but she responds well to a firm voice followed by the word 'now' when you want her to do something. She's easy to train because she's very food-driven. She completed a training class as a puppy with 'Dog Training by Valerie'. Neva likes to play with tennis balls and she loves chicken and peanut butter as 'treats'. She enjoys being outside. I'm looking for a home that gives her the ability to run freely. And we feel that having a playmate will make her happy. She grew up with a cat, so I think she would interact with cats just fine.
