One year old. Neutered male. Labrador Retriever mix. Weighs 62 pounds.

I’m a happy, handsome guy who enjoys being with people. I’m also smart and I already know Sit, Drop and Shake. I’d like to learn more tricks if you’d like to teach me. I like playing with toys and am an energetic young fella. I could use some work with basic manners like walking nicely on a leash and I need someone to teach me not to jump. But I’m young and will learn quickly. I arrived at RCHS on Aug. 6 and I am still here. I was surrendered by my owners because they were unable to care for me any longer. I’ve lived with other dogs so should do well with other dogs but if you have one at home we will have to meet to make sure we get along. I’ve never lived with children before and since I don’t have a lot of manners right now I’m looking for a home with children 8 years old or older. If you’re looking for a companion for walks, hikes and other activities please stop by and say hi!
