Adora is an Adorable Lab Mix Ready for Adoption
Adora, whose name fits because she is "Adora-ble." Despite this, she has been with the Joplin Humane Society for 162 days! Adora is a 2 - 3 yr old female Lab mix. She has a high energy level, so she would benefit from an active family with a fenced yard and plenty of space for daily exercise and play. She is loose and wiggly when greeting, and comes when called for snuggles and kisses. Adora does pull moderately on a leash, but with basic obedience training, she should be walking like a champ in no time! She is food motivated and knows the command "sit." She mixes well with other dogs in a kennel, but is afraid of cats in the shelter environment. Hopefully, after tomorrow's broadcast, she will find a fur-ever home!
