Introducing Timber: A Sweet, Shy 2-Year-Old Lab Seeking a Loving HomeMeet Timber! This sweet 2-year-old black lab is looking for a home where she can feel safe, secure, and loved. Timber is a gentle, affectionate dog who thrives once she gets comfortable with her surroundings. Though it takes her a little time to warm up, once she’s settled in, she’s a loyal and loving companion who will form a strong bond with her family. Timber does have some specific needs that her new family should be prepared for, including barrier issues and separation anxiety, but with patience and consistent training, she will flourish.Timber has shown positive interactions with other dogs in our care, and she would do well with a well-matched dog companion after a proper meet-and-greet. She has also passed her cat test, though a slow introduction to any cats in the home is best.
