Description
Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever (short coat). ***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the adoption application at .emmetcountyanimalshelter*** This hunka hunka squishy love is Buckey! Buckey came to us after his owner lost his home and had to move in with another family member. He is your typical lab personality....sweet, dopey and loving. Bucky is currently in a foster home working on his weight loss program and we are happy to say that he is doing great and thinks he will be ready for swim suit season yet! This is what his foster has to say about him....Bucky still has plenty of playful energy and absolutely loves spending time with his people. Whether he’s enjoying a short game of fetch, lounging outside on a runner, or soaking up attention and cuddles, Bucky is happiest when he’s near the people he loves. Bucky is potty trained and sleeps comfortably in his crate at night, especially with a blanket draped over the top to help him feel safe and cozy. He can get a little excited when meeting people and may jump occasionally, but he responds well to correction and wants very much to please. Like many big lovable Labs, Bucky is currently working on his fitness journey and is on a diet with multiple short walks each day to help him slim down and stay healthy. He does pull a bit on the leash and has some anxiety around stairs, but with patience, encouragement, and a helping hand, he can do them just fine. Bucky's was born April of 2022 and is still full of zest for life! He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. His adoption fee is $275.00

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.
