Story
Isabella is a 8 year old chocolate lab. She loves to play and go to the dog park. She is very well trained she can sit, stay, lie down, shake, speak, roll over, fetch & spin on command. She was trained by a professional dog trainer when she was a puppy. She gets along well with other dogs & cats. She is very friendly and affectionate. I am rehoming her because she was my mothers dog and my mother passed away and I am unable to take care of her myself due to my living situation. I am looking for someone who is willing to give her the attention she needs. She is an active dog who likes to go on walks and swim. Preferably someone with a large fenced in backyard and children to play with her.
