My name is Jessica, and I have had a black lab for 13 years of my life. He has taught me so many things about having a pet, and how to care for pets. I have volunteered at the humane society and also have been a foster parent for them as well. When my dog was younger, I participated in many training classes with him, and then volunteered there for a while after. I now have a 1 year old lab myself and we have been training him since he was 2 months old. He loves going and playing outside, going on walks, and playing with other dogs. He still has a lot of puppy energy but loves just laying with us as well. I would take care of your pet with the same care and respect you do!
