Hi, my name is Starburst and my ID number is A461920!

I am 1-year, 9-month Labrador Retriever mix with a short tan and white coat. I came to the Humane Society of Missouri in May 2009 as a stray.  Since I have been here the staff and volunteer have learned that I am very smart girl so they have been working on my training skills.  I already know how to sit, lie down and we are working on stay. I walk nicely on a leash especially when I'm wearing my blue harness.  In my free time, I love to play, chasing balls and enjoying rounds of fetch.  I also enjoy lounging on my bed especially while enjoying a bone or other treat.  I am hoping for a home to share with adults and children alike.  I will be most comfortable in a home where I am the only dog. My friendly and outgoing personality is infections - I'm sure to put a smile on your face.  I'm a great girl who has been patiently waiting for 9 long months for a forever home.  Won't you be my Valentine?

To adopt: Apply in person at the Humane Society of Missouri’s Macklind Avenue Headquarters in St. Louis City. Visit all our adoptable pets online at www.hsmo.org.
