Description
Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever. This 1-2 year-old Golden Retriever/Lab mix is wise beyond his years. At 55 lbs, he is incredibly gentle, calm, and affectionate, and honestly acts more like a senior dog than a young adult. He settled into his foster home immediately, like he’d been there forever, and has been a total dream ever since. Lou is fully house-trained with zero accidents. He doesn’t need a crate but is fine using one with a treat, is quiet when left alone, and just wants to be near his people as much as possible. He has a medium energy level and enjoys walks, and is happiest playing a relaxed game of fetch or soaking up all the pets he can get. He loves stuffed toys (especially anything with cotton inside) and will proudly bring his treasures over, sit politely, and give you the saddest puppy eyes until you throw them. He will require a fenced yard in his future home to meet his energy needs. He hasn’t had much interaction with other dogs yet, but he’s done well with cats. He may politely remind you that he would also like attention if you’re petting the cat too long. Lou has a great history with kids and is wonderfully behaved with anyone who gives him love — age doesn’t matter to him one bit. If you’re looking for a calm, loving, low-drama dog who wants to be your shadow, your fetch buddy, and your professional cuddle companion, Resolution is ready to make you feel very loved. If you are interested in this dog, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - pethavenmn/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/ The adoption fee is $450. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.

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.
