PERIGEE - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: $300. Meet your best buddy, me! I'm Perigee and I'm close to 2 years old and weigh around 40 lbs. I have beautiful brindle coloring and am listed as a lab mix, but it’s really anyone’s guess. I’m fully grown and I’m a good medium size dog, perfect for traveling, playing, cuddling or laying about the house! My foster mom says my best quality is how calm and sweet I am with people and kids. I live with two kids at the moment, one of which gives me lots of hugs and throws my favorite squeaky toy for me. I'm friendly to everyone and not timid. I like other dogs and love to play. I also live with a cat and am on my best behavior with him. I’m fantastic at outings as I’m not reactive, walk well on my harness, and do well in most environments. I'm curious about the world and love seeing new things. I’m also a pro at car rides and sit politely while watching the world go by. I love being with you wherever you are and just want to be your buddy. If you do need to leave me at home I'm fine in my crate until you come back. I’m 100% great in the house, never have any accidents. I am on the lookout for any spare food but can be content with my favorite toys instead. I love small tuffed toys that squeak and playing fetch. I sleep well in my crate at night and while you are away. My foster thinks I would be an easy dog to take just about anywhere and do anything! What’s the catch? I take a little more care than the average dog. I have Mega Espophogis. That means I have to eat in a special chair (or just propped up somewhere, but the special chair helps) because my esophagus doesn't do it's job (lazy!) and I need gravity to help make sure my food gets to my stomach - otherwise I will regurgitate. The chair and the right food (dehydrated food is my fav right now) makes all the difference! I also take a couple of pills daily. My foster says it takes her about 45 minutes for each meal, but about 30 minutes of that is just me taking a nap in my chair while the food settles. She has 2 young kids and so far the feedings have not been a burden, and kids love to help! I have been with Rescue Rovers since I was a puppy and my medications and feeding routine are very well managed. My foster will happily provide detailed instructions to make the transition easy, and I come with my chair and other supplies. Do you think you could be the buddy I've been waiting for?
