About Gypsy (Labrador Retriever) in Arlington, VA 22204

Gypsy is waiting for you at Worthy Dog Rescue in Arlington, VA 22204. Meet Gypsy Gypsy is a pretty Lab mix who is looking for a stable forever home after spending her entire life with one family. She was surrendered to the rescue when her owner became ill and could no longer care for her. A family friend reached out to her foster mom, Janet, for help. Gypsy is fortunate to have been loved her whole life as a family dog and has lived in a home environment since she was a small puppy. Now a budding senior, Gypsy is a moderate-energy dog who enjoys running and playing with younger dogs, but she’s equally happy settling down and relaxing afterward. She loves other dogs of all sizes, though she has always lived as an only dog, so she would likely do well either with canine companions or soaking up all the attention herself. She has also done well around cats. Gypsy can be a little aloof when you first meet her and may shy away from sudden movements, but once she feels comfortable, she’s very affectionate and enjoys being around her people. She’s great with visitors and genuinely enjoys making new friends. She has done well with children ages 8 and older, but we've not seen her with younger kids. She is potty trained, crate trained, and has very good house manners overall. On leash, Gypsy can pull and is a strong dog, so she would benefit from continued leash work and a capable handler. Janet shared that Gypsy has been a wonderful houseguest who settled in quickly... “She’s really easy and loves everyone. She talks to you when she wants something, which is funny. I’ve noticed that Gypsy likes to keep an eye on her surroundings and will happily “guard the perimeter” of the yard like a devoted protector.” Gypsy is the kind of dog who bonds deeply with her family and will be a loving, loyal companion for someone willing to give her the stability and loving home she deserves.
