Notes: Ursula is a beautiful Lab mix, about seven years old, who came to the shelter with three of her grown puppies, two of whom have been adopted. So now Ursula is looking for someone special to take her home. She is great with people and should do fine with children. She is selective about her dog friends but does fine with most, especially males. She is a big girl, 60-65 pounds (although she could stand to lose some weight). Ursula is no longer house trained but has been in the past and should pick it up again quickly and she walks well on leash. She is looking forward to finding a forever quickly where she can get lots of attention and time from her family and have the opportunity to take nice long walks with them.
