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

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 200. Meet Tzatziki! This handsome fella is a 65 lb. hunk and around 8 years old. He is a confident and independent dog that doesn't demand to be the center of attention, but is happy just to be in the presence of people who love him. He likes everyone and is always polite when meeting new people, but reserves his true love and loyalty for his family. Once you've made his inner circle he will happily curl up next to you on the couch or at your feet, and will be your permanent taste tester and plate cleaner extraordinaire. Tzatziki would be perfectly fine as an only dog, but can also coexist with other dogs that allow him to be the alpha of the pack. He doesn't require much exercise and is happy to lounge in the yard, but also enjoys a nice walk and is great on leash. He is crate trained and can occupy himself with a good chew toy or a nice long nap. Tzatziki is currently going through heartworm treatment and is doing great! He is looking for a foster to adopt home that is willing to provide him with a soft couch and lots of love while he finishes his treatment (vet care is at the expense of the rescue until cleared for adoption.) Heartworm treatment protocol is rather easy for an older dog like him; leash walking to go to the bathroom, and relaxing indoors without much activity- which he happens to be quite good at anyway! If you want to get a jump on adopting this handsome fella, submit an application today! All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home. We require an approved application to meet any of our dogs. We do not have a shelter location and will not arrange a meeting without an approved application. We strive to make sure the bios provided for our dogs are complete and accurate; we do understand that mistakes happen, however, so if you absolutely cannot find the answer to your question in the dog's bio, you can contact us for more information. We require a home visit for each dog we adopt out, so we adopt within a 2 hour radius of Dayton, OH. If you are outside of this radius, we encourage you to contact your local rescue or shelter.
