My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
A23579 Esmerelda is a black colored, approximately 3-year-old, 63- pound, spayed female, Lab mix.
She entered the shelter as a stray on 11-12-2024.
Esmerelda is a friendly, excited, easy to handle girl here in the shelter. Our staff says she loves affection and wants all the attention. If you sit on the ground with her, she immediately jumps into your lap for love. She was easy to leash, pulled in excitement to be out of the kennel, exploring and smelling everything. She has had some training and will “sit” and “stay” upon command. She has no interest in other dogs here at the shelter but loves people. Esmerelda will be a fun-loving family member in her new forever home.
