Oh, hello you! Bama here.
I spent years outside learning survival, then two months wondering if I had a future—until these humans decided otherwise, and now I'm learning that toys exist and men are worth trusting.
The notes mention I love a busy family. The more the merrier, honestly.
I'm on the bigger side — which, if you ask me, is just more of me to hug.
Born and (almost) raised right here in Atlanta.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
If all goes well, I could be curled up with my new pack by Halloween — maybe yours, whether you adopt me or just help me get noticed.
Anyway, thank you for reading all the way to the end. Not everyone does, and I noticed. — Bama

About Bama
This gorgeous girl is a Lab (or maybe a mix), about 3 1/2 years old with a shiny black coat. Sadly, her life before us wasn't great. She probably lived outside, tied up or in a pen, having litter after litter. She's already had two or three. Bama, formerly known as Confetti, spent over two months in an overcrowded shelter, and she was likely close to being on the dreaded list. But we couldn't let that happen. We said, "She's coming with us!" During Bonding Week, we gave her toys, and she didn't know what to do with them at first. But she's learning, gaining confidence each day, and bonding with the men. She was a bit unsure about them when they first met, but now she's warming up, and already has some favorites! She even had her first little bounce chasing a ball! At 71 pounds, we think Bama would thrive in a home with a family. She's wonderful with adults and kids alike, enjoys the company of other social dogs, and is the kind of dog who will truly thrive in a home of her own—especially with people who are just as excited to love her as she is to love them.
