Description
Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever. PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet. Lake This guy is the best boy! Someone will be so lucky to have him in their family. Lake is a senior lab, estimated to be around 12-13 years old. But that's just a guess based on all that gray hair and cataracts. Dont let the gray fool you! This guy does not know his age. He is fun, energetic (not hyper, but does like to run around outside), and very well behaved. He is housetrained and crate trained and he gets along fabulously with other dogs of all sizes, genders, and personalities! Lake came to us from a shelter, where he was picked up as a stray. At that time he had a large mass on his chest which had become ulcerated due to lying on the concrete with no bed. We had the mass and several smaller lipomas removed and he hasnt missed a beat. He feels great! We opted not to send the mass for histopathology because knowing what it is really doesn't change anything. The goal is to give him a good quality of life for however long he has left. Lake doesnt ask for much of anything. He is very happy to just have a soft bed to lie on, a few pats on the head, and food and treats. He is very food motivated and smart. He is fully vetted and ready to find his forever home. Lake is located in Arkansas. He can be adopted locally, but transport is available to the New England area as well. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them in PA, NY, or CT on Saturdays. To apply, please fill out the adoption app: form.jotform/212690945239059 email apps.aasrgmail with any questions.

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.
