Sabrina’s Story
Sabrina, born in July 2022, is a 3-year-old Labrador Retriever and Pit Bull Terrier Mix with a heart full of love and energy. Rescued by The Animal Rescue Alliance (T.A.R.A.) in Kansas City, MO, likely from a local shelter, she’s currently in a boarding facility where her playtime is limited, fueling her high-energy personality. Despite this, Sabrina walks well on a leash and calms down after burning off some energy, showing her potential to thrive in a home environment. Her friendly demeanor makes her a favorite with everyone she meets, though her exuberance means she’s best suited for homes without very small children she might accidentally knock over.
As a black dog, Sabrina faces challenges finding a home, but her vibrant personality and soulful charm are impossible to resist. She’s good with most dogs but would need time to adjust to sharing her home with another pet, making her ideal as an only dog. With her excellent manners and love for human connection, Sabrina is ready to be the star of an active household that can provide her with plenty of exercise and affection.
Ideal Home
Sabrina would thrive in an active, dog-savvy home where she can be the only pet, soaking up all the love and attention. A securely fenced yard is ideal for her energetic playtime, allowing her to run and enjoy daily walks. She’s great with adults and older children who can handle her enthusiastic kisses, but homes with very small children or cats are not suitable due to her exuberance and untested compatibility. Owners who can provide ample exercise, mental stimulation, and a stable environment will find Sabrina to be a loyal, joyful companion. A suburban or rural setting with space to romp will make her life a happy adventure.
