Meet Gumbo, the sweet and loving mama who raised her precious "Baby Soups" litter, born on 7/30/24. Now that her puppies are ready for their own adventures, it's Gumbo's time to shine and find her forever home. This 2-year-old Lab mix is the perfect medium size at 55 pounds, with a heart as big as her gentle, affectionate nature.

Gumbo is house-trained and crate-trained, but her favorite place to sleep is snuggled up in bed with her humans. She’s a friendly, outgoing, and adaptable girl who’s done well with everyone she’s met—big dogs, small dogs, men, and women. While she hasn’t been exposed to children in her current foster home, we anticipate she’d do great with them. She was reported to be good with cats, although she hasn’t been around any recently.

Gumbo enjoys playtime in the yard, brief walks, and playing with toys, though she’s still learning how to walk on a leash. This girl is quick to adapt and eager to please, picking up commands like “sit” and working on “stay.” Despite limited experience, she enjoyed her one car ride and settled in nicely. Whether left loose in the house or crated while her foster family is out, Gumbo is non-destructive and well-mannered.

With her warm, loyal, and playful personality, Gumbo will thrive in any loving environment. She’s the kind of dog who will bring joy and comfort to your home, always ready for belly rubs and snuggles. If you're looking for a sweet, easygoing companion who has given so much love to her pups and is now ready to share that love with you, Gumbo is the perfect match! Her minimum adoption fee is $295 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents.

She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
