BITSY (COURTESY POST) - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). **This is a courtesy post. Bitsy is NOT a YCSPCA dog. All adoption interest will be forwarded to her caretaker.** Bitsy is a goofy boy who can't wait to make you smile! Bitsy is estimated to be around 4 years old and is a loving guy looking for his forever home. Bitsy is a total wiggle-butt that greats everyone he meets with a big smile and is a social butterfly who wants to be everyone's friend. Bitsy has a zest for life and loves a good adventure. Bitsy currently weighs about 75lbs, but would benefit from losing at least 10lbs. Who needs a weight loss buddy? Bitsy and his sister, Bella, were surrendered to a local dog boarding facility after their previous owner was no longer able to care for them and moved across the country. The staff at the facility love the two dogs, but know that they deserve more attention than they can get at the facility. It would be amazing if the dogs could be adopted together, but they aren't bonded and would do okay being separated. The most important part is that they can find people to love and care for them. Bitsy is the more active of the two kiddos. He would be a great adventure buddy for someone who needs a loyal sidekick. He loves to explore and have fun. Bitsy also loves cuddles and will lean up against you and try to convince you that he is, in fact, a lap dog despite his size. Bitsy knows his basic manners, but does need some reminders now and then. He is very food-motivated, which makes training a breeze. Bitsy hasn't been introduced to dogs in a while, per company policy, but he likely would do well living with other easy-going dogs after a slow introduction. Bitsy hasn't lived with cats before, but he seems to be a fan of chasing small critters and may not be a good fit to live with kitties. Bitsy would be a wonderful addition to a home with kids 12 years and older. Bitsy is housetrained, but may have some accidents while adjusting to a new environment and routine. It's been about a year since he has been in a home setting, so his new family will need to be patient with him while he acclimates to being in a home again. Bitsy is neutered and up-to-date with his vaccines. Bistsy is such a wonderful dude who deserves a family for the holidays.
