They just quietly wait, hoping someone will see them. Apple entered a shelter as a stray. She had no known history, no one looking for her \u2013 just a pair of soulful eyes watching people come and go, passing her by. She was listed as 4 years old, but Labs and Friends thought she had a bit more wisdom under her collar, maybe 6 or 7 years worth. With that age comes something wonderful: calm companionship, steady loyalty and a heart that knows how to love deeply. That\u2019s all Apple is looking for. Not dog parks or crowded beaches. Just a person, her person, who will adopt her and let her be their only pet, lavish her with love, provide slow walks and quiet evenings. If your idea of happiness is a gentle nudge of a nose, soft eyes that follow you from room to room, and a best friend who appreciates life\u2019s simple moments, Apple may be your girl. Whether you can foster or adopt, you could be the second chance she\u2019s been hoping for.<\/p>\n<p>Adoption donation: $250, includes spay, microchip, vaccines<\/p>\n<p>Adoption procedure: Please visit Labradors and Friends\u2019 website, <a href=\"http:\/\/labradorsandfriends.org\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">labradorsandfriends.org<\/a>, and fill out the adoption application.
