IVAN - CAROLINA DOG / LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Carolina Dog / Labrador Retriever / Mixed. Ivan is a gorgeous, ~3 year old, 64lb boy. We think he's a Carolina Dog / Lab mix based on his features. Regardless of breed, he’s a loyal guy looking for his forever human(s). Ivan needs to keep his mind occupied with puzzles, toys, etc. Using a crate for him is required, especially when you leave the house. When you're home, he loves to be outside and would happily keep you company while you do yardwork, garden, or soak up the sun. He is also happy when playing with toys, chewing a bone, or enjoying a kong. Given his size and his personality, we are requiring a single family home with a fenced in yard OR a country setting that would provide him with ample space to frolic about and enjoy life. Ivan would thrive with someone who is willing to continue building his skills, such as confidence and structure. He keeps his crate tidy. He has also begun signaling for potty breaks when in the house, but it would still be best to keep him on a potty schedule. He would prefer to be the only dog in the home or with someone who is *experienced* and *patient* with dog intros and integration. No small dogs or cats in his home, please, due to his prey drive. Older kids would be fine for Ivan. He can get excited and sometimes jump so we feel best if his home doesn't have younger children or those unstable on their feet. He is working on knowing that sitting calm = happy humans and/or treatos. Ivan is a boy with a heart of gold who will love you beyond measure. He may win you over when he leans into you, somehow both giving and requesting love. He deserves someone who will be patient with him. And give lots of pets and head kisses, which are his favorite. If you think this could be you, please apply for him today. Paws Across Pittsburgh KL 16182
