Say hello to LARA, a sweet, playful, and affectionate pup who thrives on routine, loves cuddles, and takes squirrel-spotting very seriously. She’s the kind of dog who will gently nudge you for pets, nap nearby while you work, and happily trot along on daily walks—always keeping an eye on the treetops, just in case.
LARA has settled beautifully into her foster home with a clear structure in place. She’s crate trained, house trained, and responds well to boundaries. She sleeps through the night, enjoys her crate for downtime, and listens to commands like a pro (well... unless a squirrel is involved, then she might need a minute).
Her ideal day? A few walks, a couple play sessions, time to lounge in the sun or spy on the backyard wildlife, and plenty of snuggles from her humans. She’s energetic but not overwhelming—once her physical and mental needs are met, she’s more than happy to curl up and chill.
LARA would love a home that can offer consistent routines, regular activity, and lots of affection. A backyard would be a bonus, as would another dog to play with or some older kids who can keep up with her fun-loving spirit. She's respectful, easy to redirect, and learning every day—especially with structure to guide her.
If you're looking for a curious, cuddly companion who does best when she knows what to expect, LARA just might be your girl!
LARA will be a special guest at our upcoming adoption event on Sunday, July 6th in Toronto! Come meet her between 1:30pm and 3pm at Left Field Brewery in Leslieville (36 Wagstaff Drive) and see if she might be the right scruff for you! Please note that we will not be processing adoption applications for LARA until after the event. Also of note: This is event is only open to SOS dogs - please leave your own scruffs at home!
