CRUZ - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed. Currently located at our Evansville, IN location Meet Cruz Cruz is a black Lab mix, born March 17, 2025. He is a sweet, energetic, and playful young dog who is ready to bring joy and fun to his forever family. Cruz recently spent some time in a foster home and they gave us lots of good info! "Cruz does well with house-training when kept on a schedule. He was able to sleep loose in our room overnight. He has been doing well with the cats. He is paying them less and less attention. He is doing well with our dogs. They play chase and he takes corrections from them well. Cruz is gung-ho for food! He will take advantage of food left unattended or food in a small child’s hand, but you can definitely turn this drive into a positive in a training situation. I have been feeding him either in a slow feeder or by scattering and I would recommend feeding separately because he thinks all food is his food. He’s a good car rider. He also loves dog toys. He picked up a few things he shouldn’t have, but was fine with me taking them back. Not a strong puller on the leash; he likes to spend lots of time sniffing. Still a puppy and has some mouthiness that we redirect with toys. A very sweet dog overall that will thrive with consistency." With his playful personality and loving nature, Cruz is sure to be a loyal friend for years to come.
