Description
Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Poodle (unknown type). Adoption Fee: $250. Online Adoption Application › This guy lives for connection. Cuddling isn’t just something he enjoys—it’s his favorite job. If given the choice between food, toys, or adventure, he’ll choose your hands every time. He’s deeply people-oriented and a little love-sick in the best way, happiest when he’s being touched, leaned on, or quietly adored. He does well in a pack and is calm and respectful in public spaces. In the car, though, his heart goes into overdrive—seeing people turns him into a hopeful social butterfly, fully convinced everyone might be his next best friend. He understands structure and routine. He crates well at dinner time and knows exactly when it’s time to settle in, though outside of that he may need a little encouragement. He responds well to control feeding, listens reliably, and carries himself with an easy, thoughtful awareness of his surroundings. Equal parts gentle soul and steady companion, he’s the kind of dog who doesn’t just want to be near you—he wants to belong with you.

Overview:
The Labrador Retriever, a beloved and highly popular breed, originated in Newfoundland, Canada, where they were initially bred to assist fishermen by retrieving nets and stray fish. Physically, they are medium-to-large dogs, known for their strong, athletic build, short, dense, weather-resistant double coat (commonly seen in black, yellow, or chocolate), and their distinctive "otter" tail. Temperamentally, Labs are celebrated for their friendly, outgoing, and good-natured disposition, making them exceptional family companions. Their intelligence and eagerness to please contribute to their trainability, though they do require consistent exercise to prevent boredom and destructive behaviors. While adaptable, their energy levels make them more suited to homes with yards, or highly active families, rather than apartment living, unless daily extensive exercise is guaranteed. Regarding health, Labs can be prone to certain conditions like hip and elbow dysplasia, and some eye conditions, so responsible breeding practices are crucial. Overall, their loyalty, versatility, and affectionate nature firmly establish the Labrador Retriever as a wonderful addition to many households.
