ROADIE - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed. A FRIENDLY & LOVING GUY: Approx. 5 years old / Approx. 65 lbs. Hi, I’m Roadie! I was adopted from Mostly Mutts in 2021, but sadly my owner is ill and can no longer take care of me. Thankfully, I’m back with Mostly Mutts and hear that they are going to find me another wonderful home and family to love. I got to go for a spend-the-night with one of the volunteers and am now back at the shelter hanging out with the volunteers while I wait to find my new people. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts, and though I wasn’t quite ready to play, I also didn’t show any aggression. My former owner reported that I did like other dogs, and I was very respectful of the boundaries set by a Chihuahua for my spend-the-night, who just wanted to be left alone. So, if you have a dog at home already, let’s meet! / I met 4 kitty cats in the home I spent the night in and did well with them. All cats are different though, so I'm not sure how I would do with another kitty. / My former owner reported that I liked the kids I met while I was with them. I also liked the 8-year-old boy that was at my spend-the-night home as well as the kids I met on my walks. I just have collar sensitivity and don’t like it grabbed, so kids old enough to understand that are best and no very young kids that I may accidentally bump over. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m already becoming a shelter favorite and it’s easy to see why - I’m just the sweetest, friendliest boy with lots of tail wags, happy greetings, and a gentle nature. I’m also a super sweet cuddler who loves being with people and even likes to play little games of hide-and-seek. I ride well in the car and enjoy going along for adventures, making me a wonderful companion both at home and on the go. I’m just an all-around good dog who loves making people smile. My former owner reported that I could be a little anxious and possessive of treats as well as bolting through doors, so please watch for this as I settle into my new home. / Energy level: 6-8 as like being active and even having a job. I do like to chill once I’ve had a walk or played some ball. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have already mastered the ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘come’, ‘leave it’ and ‘drop it’ commands and I look forward to learning more. My former owner also reported that I know how to ‘speak’. Let's continue my training together with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs! In the home I visited, I did not like having my collar grabbed or being made to get off the furniture – the trainers will be glad to help you with this, so you are set up for success. / My crate manners are reported to be good by my former owner. I didn’t need a crate in the home I visited as I didn’t get into anything, and I’m in a single room at the shelter. / I’ve had very good potty manners in all my home and shelter settings. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I enjoy going for walks, playing fetch, and relaxing with cozy blankets. I’m also a fan of a little percussion music and apparently think drinking from a cup is pretty fun - lol! XL tennis balls and strong chew toys are best for me since I can chew up smaller tennis balls, and they could become a choking hazard. / I’m not a fan of nail trims, and as mentioned above, having my collar grabbed or being made to get off the furniture. • MEDICAL: I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I came in with some patchy fur/skin issues and am getting medicated baths twice a week to help with this – the baths can easily be done in my new home as I’ve been very good for them at the shelter. I’m a wonderful pup looking for a wonderful family that will take great care of me and love me furever! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
