After 6 tries, shelter dog still searching for her 'fur-ever' home

From Dec. 6-11, pets like Dina qualify for the Bissell Pet Foundation’s Empty the Shelter adoption event. Through Empty the Shelter, Dina’s adoption fee is only $50.

PHOENIX — Dina has had a run of bad luck lately.

Over the past year, she has been kicked out of her home six times. While the folks at the Arizona Animal Welfare League are nice people, Dina, a 7-year-old Labrador mix- is ready to find her proverbial “fur-ever” home.

“So, Dina is a super sweet girl. She has a lot of energy for being around 7,” said Kimberly Vermillion, the Director of Communications at the AAWL. “She's just been looking for a forever home for a little while now.”

Space. That’s one thing that Dina needs. Space to run and play.

Even with the training that AAWL has given her, Dina still needs to be an only dog.

“She loves toys, and she loves to cuddle, and she loves to play fetch as well,” said Vermillion. “So, she is a perfect dog; she's super sweet.”

From Dec. 6-11, pets like Dina qualify for the Bissell Pet Foundation’s Empty the Shelter adoption event. Through Empty the Shelter, Dina’s adoption fee is only $50.

That could be a steal for the right family who could use an active dog that is full of love.

Like Dina.
