Here's what the humans have to say about me:
REAGAN is a 7 year old neutered black male Lab who weighs 88 pounds. Reagan and Quincy are a bonded pair and will be adopted together. Reagan is a sweet boy. He was nervous at the shelter, because being inside is new for him. (At his previous home, Reagan lived outside and only came in at night to sleep in a crate in the garage.) As a result, Reagan will need a patient owner who can help him learn about living inside as a family member. Reagan is cratetrained and seems to know a few basic commands. He was fine with other dogs at the shelter. Regan is approved for kids ages 10+.
Update (12/07): The boys have arrived at their new foster home. Things are going well with the boys. The resident dog and them are ignoring each other. They're very friendly. They are house trained. More to come as they settle in!
Update (11/19): Quincy and Reagan are a calm, easy pair. They love to be loved on – Reagan grunts while you rub his ears, and Quincy closes his eyes in bliss. Both of the boys love to play ball and walk well on an EZ Walk harness (Reagan pulls a bit at the start, but corrects easily). Both are fast eaters and do well with a SloBowl. They are highly food motivated and are quickly learning to take treats gently. They respond to a firm “sit” or “go lie down” command; we have not worked on much else as they are so easy to handle. Both are too interested in the resident cat, so a cat-free household may be best.
The boys were outdoor dogs and are learning to live inside. They figured out the comforts of home quickly, finding the dog beds and cozy blankets. They are now housebroken while foster is in the house. They are not destructive and do not need to be crated (left in mudroom when foster is out). Both can handle stairs (foster has lots of stairs, inside and out), although less would be better for Quincy. If you have hardwoods Quincy asks that you place runners or mats down for him to walk on; he does well on tile, linoleum, Trex, slate and carpet. In short, Quincy and Reagan are sweet, loving boys and look forward to finding their forever home!
Update (11/14): Quincy and Reagan are so happy to be in a foster home! When their foster parents picked them up, Reagan immediately ran to the open SUV and jumped in, ready for his ride! Quincy ran to the SUV, propped his front feet on the bumper, smiled and me and said, “please lift my butt” (he needed a little boost). So cute. They rode nicely all the way home. Reagan and Quincy were very calm during introductions to the resident male and female dogs, despite the resident lab barking at them for at least an hour. They respond to a firm “sit” and “go lie down”, and simply love to give kisses and be loved on. All the pups settled for a nap after a romp outside the first night. They had a good first day in their foster home. These boys love to chase tennis balls and retrieve, dropping the ball at your feet. The boys settled nicely in at home, despite their history as outside dogs. Reagan found the dog bed and Reagan likes to sleep at the feet of his foster mom. Both slept the day away while their foster mom worked. They both had sponge baths yesterday. Both were cooperative, and Reagan sprawled on his back and grunted while he had his tummy scrubbed. They are an easy, loving pair!
