ANDY - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 550. Hi, I'm Andy! I'm a sweet, affectionate pup born around March 3. I am looking for my forever family. My favorite things are cuddling with my people, playing with toys, going for car rides, and making new dog friends. I'm a total cuddle bug and love being close to my humans—you might even call me a little Velcro pup! When it's time to relax, you'll usually find me snoozing on the couch after a fun day of adventures. I'm wonderful with other dogs, have done great with a cat (I'm learning to respect my feline friend's boundaries), and was gentle and patient with a child under one year old. I ride amazingly in the car without making a peep, walk best on a harness, and already know sit, come, no, off and some fetch. I'm also very easy to handle and don't mind having my paws touched, being picked up, or being gently handled. I take a little time to warm up to new people, but once I know you're a friend, my loving personality shines through. Having a confident dog buddy really helps me feel brave, and I absolutely love playing and going on walks with other dogs. I'd especially enjoy a home with another friendly dog, or a family that can regularly meet up with canine friends for walks and playdates. Like any puppy, I'm still learning! I'm making great progress with my house training on a consistent routine and am learning that my crate is a safe place. I'll do best with a family that's excited to continue my positive puppy training and help me grow into the amazing dog I'm becoming. If you're looking for a loving, cuddly companion who gets along with dogs, cats, and kids, loves car rides, and will happily be your loyal sidekick, I just might be your perfect match If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: .starfishanimalrescue/adopt/dog-adoption-application .
