I am in a foster home with other dogs and enjoy playing and cuddling with them. I do not play rough and learn queues from my furry siblings quickly.  I enjoy playing tug of war with my foster brother pup.  Sometimes I am shy when I see other dogs on walks, but once I realize they are nice, I am fine with them.  I also like to be close to the other pups in the house, we are a pack. Cats | I have not met a cat yet. Slow introductions to ensure a smooth transition are recommended. Children | Kids are fun! I am easily excited and kind of a big guy, so I will need extra supervision around the little kids to avoid knocking them over.  I am currently with a teenage boy, and we play, wrestle, and cuddle.Training | I am learning so much from my foster mom! I have learned to sit, lay down and go into my crate. I am a good listener when given firm commands. I need an adopter that is willing to continue my training to make sure I am always a good boy!Leash | I love walking on the leash and seeing what's happening in the neighborhood! I don't pull too much on the leash, but am learning to walk in a straight line vs. zig zag.  I love to be out, but then take a good nap because I am tired.  I went on a hike this past weekend and loved it!Activity Level | I'm a happy, playful and fun labrador. I love to run, play with toys and explore. Meeting new people is really exciting so watch out for my big tail and jumping.  I also love to play with my furry siblings, and enjoy do zoomies around the yard.  I listen to firm corrections, though!  I am also great at night, my foster mom tell me to go to bed and I cuddle up on my dog bed and stay there all night.Personality | I think I am pretty great! I love people and dogs. Sometimes I am shy when I meet other dogs, but once I realize they are nice, I am interested in meeting them.  I play gently with my foster sister in the backyard, and like being part of a pack..I am so thankful to be rescued and can't wait to find my forever family. I will be your best friend!Story | Thank you! | Adoption Donations | Our adoption donations are $425 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year, $375 for 1-6 years, $325 for dogs 7-10 years, and $175 for 11+ years of age.
