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

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). MEET DESTIN! Hi, I'm Destin! I'm a 16-week old Labrador Retriever mix and I'm a gentle soul with many layers to my personality. Three words that currently describe me: shy, earnest, goofy. Upon first meeting, I may present as a bit reserved and hesitant as you take in my beautifully colored coat that resembles the sands of my namesake city in Florida, but that's only because we just met. I love a good treat and one of the quickest ways to my heart is with food. With some time and patience, I will be eating out out of your hand, literally. My favorite hobbies include: licking treat pads; chewing on my collagen sticks; and pouncing around with my favorite toys in an environment in which I feel safe. I also love my snuggle puppy because the warmth reminds me of my littermates. In a new home I am looking for a household with a calm and social dog to show me the ropes (especially with potty business outside). A home with loving and committed humans who are willing to put in some extra time to help me reach my full potential as your most loyal companion. Have a fully enclosed backyard? Perfect! I need a secure space with supervision to get out my puppy zoomies and enjoy some sunbathing. While I'm adding to the list, I love, love, love my crate for open-door snoozies as it's my happy place. I would probably do well with older kiddos who understand and respect my boundaries (it’s a hard pass on small hands in my space and unpredictable movements). Kitty cats are unknown. My world has changed a lot in the last few weeks (transport up from the South, saying goodbye to my littermates, moving in with a foster) and understandably all the new people and situations can be overwhelming at first. If you give me a chance to feel safe on my own terms and timeline, I will show you more of my layers. You won't be dissappointed! Destin is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed/neutered, microchipped and seen by our vet team.
