Description
Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever (medium coat). Doug (A126584) is a 6-year-old Labrador Retriever who weighed just over 50 pounds on intake (but is underweight). 04/30/26 This goofball is Doug! Doug was surrendered to the shelter due to his owner's move. He was described as a high-energy dog who does not mind the best. Doug is looking for something productive to put his energy towards! He would benefit from attending a basic obedience class for starters, to continue working on his manners. He is very food motivated which can help with training! Doug was said to be kennel trained and mostly housebroken (will sit by the door) but does still have the occasional accident if no one is there to let him outside. He does not have much experience when it comes to interacting with other animals, but was said to be playful towards other dogs he meets. Ensuring you are making appropriate introductions is important in helping set him up for success! Doug was said to love people, but is overly enthusiastic and likes to jump up. If you are interested in meeting Doug, please let us know!

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.
