Here's what the humans have to say about me:
BONES is a 5 year old neutered black male Lab who weighs 64 pounds. Bones is friendly and likes to be with you to get petted. He is not a high energy dog, but more laid back and likes to take life a little slower. He thinks playing with other dogs is great fun but will give that up to be with people. He likes to retrieve but is not a nut about it. Bones would like a house with a family will give him love, attention and training. He needs a home with a fence as he was a stray.
Good with other dogs has been out with other LR pups at the kennel with no problems. Knows sit, come and sometimes down. Pulls on lead when walking better with an Easy Walk Harness. Crate trained probably house trained, as he waits to go outside to go. Bones needs a fenced yard, underground fence is okay. Bones is a stray to a shelter. He is approved for kids 10+. More info soon!
This dog is from a rural area and has not been exposed to traffic, noise, or groups of people. If dogs are overwhelmed by their environment, they can exhibit behaviors like excessive barking. To avoid this, for now we are limiting placement to stand alone single family homes in a suburban neighborhood or rural area. As we learn more from the dog's time spent in foster, we will evaluate if placement can be expanded to include a more urban environment and send out an update.
This dog is available for adoption from Lab Rescue LRCP. Lab Rescue LRCP rescues and places dogs in Maryland, Virginia, Washington DC, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware and northeast North Carolina (30 miles east of I-95 and north of the Pamlico Sound) Adopters must travel to Maryland, Virginia or Washington DC with their family - human and canine - to meet the dog they want to adopt.
Lab Rescue LRCP has between 50 - 80 dogs available for adoption from foster homes across Maryland and Virginia and at monthly adoption events. The adoption event dates are listed at www.lab-rescue.org.
If you are interested in adopting, please visit www.lab-rescue.org and complete an adoption application. Within a few days of submitting an application you will hear from an Adoption Coordinator who will guide you through the adoption process.
An adoption fee is charged to cover the cost of veterinary care and a home visit is required.
