MALARKEY - COONHOUND / LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Coonhound / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 600. Malarkey has only been with us a very short time, but he learned his name and recall in the first few hours we had him. He seems to catch on very quickly to new commands. He's sit's politely to wait for his food. We are working on kennel training, leash walking and potty training, two things it seems he didn't have experience with prior to coming into rescue. He sleeps in his kennel at night, eats his meals in his kennel and has some kennel time with a puzzle toy during the day to create a positive association for him. He is a very curious fella. He likes to sniff everything, and check things out by putting them in his mouth. But if you tell him that something isn't appropriate, he learns quickly to leave it alone. Malarkey is a very smart guy, very friendly. He isn't currently in a foster home with kids, but the home that he came from had them, and he didn't mind them one bit. Cats are unknown but he seems to be responsive and respectful when corrected by his foster siblings or foster parents. Malarkey is from a local owner surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
