Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello Families!!! My name is Slick aka Icy and I am a very sweet, four year old, 57 pound, black Lab.
SCLRR saved me from a local shelter and quickly realized I had a severe abscess in one of my teeth. The abscess was so bad that it affected my jaw. Once I was out of the shelter and in the hands of the very special people at SCLRR I was taken to the vet to check out my tooth. After examination the doctor knew I needed surgery right away to pull the bad tooth and re-stitch my face and now that the surgery is over no more pain! I also had a dental cleaning done. I feel so good that my foster mom says I do the happy dance all around the house! Actually because I was so happy and wiggly, I got something called “happy tail” so I needed to have my tail amputated. But no worries, I can still wiggle even though I have a bunny tail now!!!
At my foster house I live with three other dogs that are very nice, but I am not exactly into playing with other dogs. I am also good with cats and I love kids all ages. My favorite thing is to follow my humans around. I am very affectionate and I love to curl up next to my people. At night I am sleeping quietly on my dog bed in my foster parents bedroom.
My foster mom says I am a VERY good boy. I do not destroy things like some other dogs but I still have some of the bouncy playful energy that most young Labs have. My foster mom says I am a medium energy dog so an active family would be great for me. I love going out for walks because I love to explore. I have great leash skills.
I am well behaved in the house and when nobody is home I have full run of the house and yard. I never ever go potty in the house; I heard that is a big NO-NO so I learned that very quickly how to use the doggie door. I know sit and stay and I will do anything for a treat. Feeding time is my favorite time of the day. I do a happy dance when my foster mom prepares the food for me.
I am really looking forward to my forever home so if you think I sound like your type of guy contact your family rep right away. My foster mom is great at giving me lots of love, but the more I hear about these ‘forever families’ the more I think I should probably get one of my own.
Have a Wonderful Day, families. I can’t wait to meet you!
Here I am with whatever is left of my tail. See, I am still very handsome.
