HANK - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). Hi, I’m Hank. l am a 12 week old Lab Mix. My life before rescue was pretty tough and unfortunately I haven’t bounced completely back like a typical puppy normally does. I started my life in a hoarding house with way too many dogs and not enough attention, care, or food, because of this I now have some quirks. I am a typical carefree puppy at heart and I know I can turn into the perfect man but I need some guidance, reassurance and help to get there. For starters, I am so scared that my meal may be my last meal. I do not like other animals or even people near me when I eat. I also scarf my food down so fast so a slow feeder is recommended. My foster mom has started feeding me out of her hand and that’s fine but if you put my food in a bowl I will be very defensive over it. I’m learning how to accept discipline and re directing my puppy play bites to toys versus my human. This has been a little tough for me but I promise I am doing my best. As for other dogs, I am completely fine with them and do enjoy them but I do think a dog that puts me in my place would be best. I may walk all over a submissive dog with my big personality. Are you ready for all the amazing things about me? I am such a cuddly sweet boy. I do great in the car. I am doing so well with potty training and am completely kennel trained. I am good with cats! I don’t mind sharing my benebones or less high value bones or toys but anything with food or good stuff in it should be left to kennel time. Since I love food so much I am very highly food motivated and know sit already and will most likely be able to learn any trick you want to teach me! I have a very big personality and once my quirks are figured out I know I will shine and be such a great boy! Little or young kids probably aren’t the best right now but once I know I will get fed and loved on every day kids will be just fine!
