She is currently caring for Yuki. There is no adoption fee but reimbursement of vaccination/deworming/spaying fees would be appreciated.
Yuki was born on November 16. Her adorable markings come from her mixed parentage - she is one quarter Labrador and a delightful mix of other breeds.
She is wary of strangers and takes time to warm up to people but is friendly and playful once she's comfortable with you. May 3 edit: Visited her for again for further temperament testing. Due to her protective nature she requires an owner experienced with dogs who's willing to work with her on basic obedience or send her for training. Would do better as the only dog in the household as she is rather selective of which dogs she's willing to get along with. She's good with smaller/submissive dogs but does not get along with unfamiliar/dominant dogs.
Yuki's traits are a plus if you're looking for a bright and loyal pet that will also guard your property well. Very smart and trainable - from barking at me when we first met I managed to get her to warm up to me and learn a command in less than 10 minutes :) Housebroken and will do business on grass only.
Conditions for adoption:
1. No tying/caging up.
2. Be up to date on her vaccinations/deworming/heartworm prevention.
3. Reimburse Catherine for the spaying fee. (Read why spaying/neutering is important here:

4. Able to handle her strong-willed character.
5. Love her unconditionally :)
6. Allow Catherine to visit in the beginning to check on her wellbeing.
