Description
Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever (short coat). Looking for tall, dark, & handsome? We have your guy! Cole is a gorgeous Black Lab about 2 years old and 95 lbs. Cole starts out a bit shy with new people. He came from a situation of severe neglect and had very little socialization and human contact. Cole warms up to humans nicely if they are patient and give him a little time to trust. Treats help the process as he's a fan of the snacks. Once he gets to know you Cole will spend his time attempting to fit on your lap and be your loyal BFF. He loves hugs, and has learned an adorable trick where he will sit up and hold hands with you. Despite being an outside dog previously Cole has mastered life inside. He is housebroken, and very well behaved inside. He free roams the house and is not destructive at all. He would prefer humans with a large bed who are willing to share. Cole enjoys sleeping with his people. He is kennel trained and will quietly nap there when his humans are out of the house. A fenced yard would be the best fit as Cole enjoys outside time. He will walk on leash, but sometimes is uneasy still with traffic and city noise. This is where that fenced yard comes in as potty breaks on leash may not be ideal just yet. Cole has been great with dogs of all sizes. He isn't a super high energy guy, but he will romp around the yard with his foster fur brothers. Despite his size he has also been great with his senior foster brother who is much smaller. This gentle giant would likely do best in a home with older children. He is still learning about life with humans, and toddlers may be overwhelming with sudden movement and sounds. The main thing Cole requires is a family with lots of love to give! He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm tested, microchipped, and ready for his happy ever after. His adoption donation fee is $425.

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.
