FORKY - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / PIT BULL TERRIER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). Forky is an estimated 3-5 year-old Lab mix with a heart that is way bigger than his already-big body. From the moment he decides you’re his person, personal space becomes a very loose suggestion. Couch? Lap? Bathroom? Forks would like to be included in everything, preferably touching you just to be sure you’re still there. When Forky first arrived at the shelter, he carried a scar on the back of his neck — a quiet reminder that life hadn’t always been gentle with him. But after a little time to decompress and feel safe, his true self came bursting out: silly, affectionate, playful, and overflowing with love. He’s the kind of dog who makes you laugh daily with his clumsy enthusiasm and happy-dog energy. Forky is exceptionally affectionate and a little bit needy in the most endearing way. He lives for attention, cuddles, praise, and being close to his people. He also desperately wants an active dog friend who loves to wrestle, chase, and play hard for long stretches of time. A playful canine buddy would be an absolute dream for him. He has done well playing with both male and female dogs after proper introductions, though he can be reactive on leash (mostly enthusiastic barking). Once he gets to know another dog, though, it’s all tail wags and play bows. One important thing to know: Forky is a lovable wrecking ball. He is clumsy, lacks self-awareness, and has accidentally taken out his foster human at the knees a couple of times. Because of this, he’d do best in a home without tiny humans or older folks who might be unsteady — he means no harm at all, he’s just a lot of dog with a lot of excitement. Forky is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and so ready to give his whole heart to the right home. He’s looking for someone who loves big affection, big laughs, and a dog who will adore them with everything he has. If you’re searching for a loyal, goofy, endlessly loving companion (who will absolutely follow you room to room), Forky might just be your perfect match. ??
