SUGAR - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (short coat). Nobody is as sweet as baby boy, Sugar! Sugar is estimated to be around 3-4 months old and is a big lovebug who can't wait to steal your heart. He loves to be with his people and is eager to make friends with anyone who will give him pets. Sugar is a moderate-energy guy looking for a family who can take him on adventures and give him lots of kisses. Sugar is a growing boy who currently weighs about 30lbs, and we think he will be at least 80lbs when fully grown. Sugar was transferred to us from our partner rescue, BONES Pet Rescue, in Covelo. He and his two siblings were found outside a grocery store, and were happy to make friends with store customers. The one female from the litter was taken in by another local rescue, and Coffee and his brother, Coffee, came to us. These boys are looking for individual homes with families with large dog experience. Sugar is a goofy and affectionate guy who is happiest when he can be with his people. He loves to cuddle, but also will never turn down a chance to have some fun. He is pretty mellow for a puppy his age, so he would be a great addition to a family that wants a more moderate-energy pup. He is a very food-motivated boy, which helps with training. He needs a family committed to helping him continue his training to help him grow up to be the best boy he can be. Sugar loves playing with other dogs, but could also do well as an only dog. Sugar has been doing well living with dog-savvy cats after a slow introduction and with proper supervision. Sugar could be a wonderful addition to a home with kids 10 years old and older. Sugar is still working on his housetraining and needs a family who can be patient with him while he is learning and be consistent about taking him outside for potty breaks. Sugar has been doing well sleeping in his crate at night, but is still learning how to be comfortable home alone and needs a family who can slowly acclimate him to being okay being alone. Sugar is such a great pup, and he can't wait to become your new best friend. Submit an application if he sounds like the boy for you! Sugar's adoption fee is $350.
