PET FOR ADOPTION: SUMMER
Are you looking for a playful companion that's great with children and other dogs? Meet Summer. She is a stunning 50 lb. 2-year-old Labrador Mix who loves to play and be merry. She loves being around people but becomes lonely when left alone. Her separation anxiety means she needs a home with a companion dog and an owner who will be with her most of the day.
Summer has learned to swim and retrieve in Lake Michigan. She has worked with a trainer and a behaviorist who believe that with love and time, she will be able to overcome her anxiety. But until then she will need a lot of patience, forgiveness and understanding.
