Genova

My Story

Meet Genova, a 2yo 65lb lab mix! She is an incredibly polite, well-behaved, gentle girl!

Genova is the sweetest pup! She has impeccable manners and is very smart. She knows sit, stay, and walks on her leash like a dream! Genova is a medium energy girl. She currently resides in an apartment with her foster but is provided ample opportunities to get her energy out. She would do well in any type of home: residential home, apartment, yard or no yard, as long as her new family gives her proper exercise each day. She currently gets 3-4 walks a day and a 2 mile jog a few times a week.

Genova settles incredibly well at home. She enjoys lounging on the couch and bed in her downtime. Genova has a timid personality when it comes to new things. She needs time patience from her new human/family as she adjusts to her new forever home and when meeting guests/strangers. But once you have earned her trust, she gives you the absolute best greeting!! She will be meeting you at the door with lots of love! She is crate trained and quietly chills in her crate when her foster needs to go out for a few hours. Right now, Genova mostly keeps to herself but loves being near her people. She is still adjusting to being a spoiled pet and living in a home, she only just got to her foster two weeks ago. She would prefer someone home more often than not.

Genova is not aggressive towards anyone or anything!! She is curious about others but shy and fearful at first. She prefers to get to know new people on her own terms, with patience and letting Genova initiate wanting to say hi. Genova has not lived with cats but has met them before and responded well to them. With proper and slow intros we think she would do well in a home with cats. Genova is dog friendly too, she has met several. She hasn’t living with other dogs in the time she has been with our rescue. It would be better the other dogs in the home are of similar energy and takes cues from other dogs well. Higher energy, in your face dogs could overwhelm her. Genova needs time to warm up to them. We do not have knowledge on her with kids, but believe she would do well with proper introduction. Kids need to be older (8+) and know how to properly go slow and respect her body language and space.
