RODRICK - CAROLINA DOG / LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Carolina Dog / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Meet Rodrick — Your Future Best Friend Rodrick is a 56-pound mixed-breed sweetheart who forms deep, meaningful bonds with his people. While we’re not sure of his exact breed mix, our behaviorist suspects he might have some Carolina Dog in him — though really, Rodrick is a proud super mutt, which just makes him super special! Rodrick delights in life’s simple pleasures: playing with his canine foster sister, riding in the car, taking long walks, cuddling up for movie nights or sports games, and being the best work-from-home companion around. He’s a smart boy, too — he’s already nailed “Sit” and is currently working on “Down,” “Place,” and name recall. Though incredibly loving once he trusts you, Rodrick is still learning that the world is a safe place. New people, sudden changes, and busy environments can feel overwhelming. Fortunately, he’s already made great progress with the help of a trainer and a very dedicated foster dad. He’s gaining confidence every day. Rodrick will thrive in a calm, predictable home with a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time. But once he bonds, he bonds for life — and you won’t find a more loyal, devoted friend. Ongoing training support will be provided to help him continue his journey and blossom into the amazing companion we know he is. Could Rodrick be your next family member? He’s ready to love you forever.
