Description
Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever (medium coat). Meet Josh, This sweet senior has been through it all. His owner passed away, and the family brought him to the shelter to be put down. How unfair is that? He’s 13 years old and a big boy who deserves a chance to get out of there now. He is out of the shelter and has arrived at our boarding facility! We still need a foster for this sweet boy, he met another dog while at the shelter and did well with that so he can be with other dogs in the house. Thank you to everyone who has been donating and sharing him, we could not have saved him without you! We do still need donations as he is going to require medical care!!

Overview:
The Labrador Retriever, a beloved and highly popular breed, originated in Newfoundland, Canada, where they were initially bred to assist fishermen by retrieving nets and stray fish. Physically, they are medium-to-large dogs, known for their strong, athletic build, short, dense, weather-resistant double coat (commonly seen in black, yellow, or chocolate), and their distinctive "otter" tail. Temperamentally, Labs are celebrated for their friendly, outgoing, and good-natured disposition, making them exceptional family companions. Their intelligence and eagerness to please contribute to their trainability, though they do require consistent exercise to prevent boredom and destructive behaviors. While adaptable, their energy levels make them more suited to homes with yards, or highly active families, rather than apartment living, unless daily extensive exercise is guaranteed. Regarding health, Labs can be prone to certain conditions like hip and elbow dysplasia, and some eye conditions, so responsible breeding practices are crucial. Overall, their loyalty, versatility, and affectionate nature firmly establish the Labrador Retriever as a wonderful addition to many households.
