Description
Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever. Lunker is living proof that it's never too late for a glow-up. At 9 years old, this lovable Lab is embracing a new chapter after losing his beloved person and the only home he’s ever known. Now on a mission to trade belly rolls for ball chases, Lunker is adjusting to a healthier lifestyle—though he’s still lobbying for extra snacks between his new-and-improved walks. He’s polite with other dogs, adores his toys (especially anything he can attempt to fetch), and pours on the love like an old pro. If you're looking for a gentle, goofy companion with a heart as big as his belly used to be, Lunker’s your guy.

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.
