Muffin’s Pet Connection: Lapa’s story

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY: Lapa’s Story…She is a beautiful, medium size, black with white Labrador Retriever/Beagle mix. She loves people, and will quickly make friends with any human she meets.

“We are looking for someone to adopt Lapa because we just had a baby and we are having trouble managing a baby and a dog. She is about six years old, very energetic and playful.

“While she is not very fond of other dogs, she usually just ignores them. Lapa takes mealtime very seriously and likes to be left alone while eating. She graduated from puppy kindergarten and knows basic commands; sit, lie down, stay and some tricks, like shake, high five and roll over.

“Some of her favorite games/hobbies include playing fetch and tug. She is very expressive and loving. Lapa is spayed, housebroken, and up-to-date on all her shots. Thank you so much for your help with finding Lapa a foster and/or adoptive home. Thanks, Lina. 917-553-2720
