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

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Benny!! This handsome guy is about a year and a half old and ready to be someone's new best friend! Benny is a black lab mix with the most gorgeous coat-with soft shades of brown that shimmer in the sunlight. If you're looking for a friendly companion who just wants love and to be loved, Benny is your guy. He would make a wonderful family dog, although he does play rough so older children are recommended. He is always ready for a walk, a cuddle, or simply hang out by your side. He will be best placed with a fur-friend and he needs a fenced in yard to burn some of his puppy-energy. He is somewhat trained but the energy level is such that he requires a yard. His vet gave him trazadone to keep him a little calmer (and I mean, a little) than is his normal self since he just went through HW treatment but he does already test negative so that's wonderful news! He will need to be retested next January or February just to be sure. Wag On Inn will retreat if required at that time if the adopter agrees to take him to our HW specialist in Barnegat, NJ. Benny is fixed, micro-chipped, and up-to-date on vaccines. His adoption fee is $500. Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home.
