Here's what the humans have to say about me:
ASHTON is a 7-year-old neutered male chocolate lab. Ashton weighs 71 pounds and is up to date on shots. This dog is approved for homes with children ages 10 and up.
DESCRIPTION Ashton is a young 7 years old, he loves to retrieve and play. When we were out taking pictures it started raining he didn't understand why I wanted him to come in, he told me "it's just a little water what's your problem". Did I mention he likes to retrieve. He likes to be petted and has a wicked Lab Lean. He would like to have a family that is active and can give him love, attention, training and exercise so he will thrive. He needs a fence either physical of underground.
Good with other dogs. Knows sit & come. Pulls on lead, better with an easy Walk Harness. Keeping room clean at the kennel probably house and crate trained. Ashton was a stray to a shelter
Adopters must meet these requirements:
Setting: Rural, Suburban
Dwelling: Single Family Home
Fencing: Needs fence either physical or underground.
Ashton 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, or Virginia with their family - human and canine - to meet the dog they want to adopt.
Lab Rescue LRCP has between 40 - 80 dogs available for adoption from foster homes across Maryland and Virginia, and at monthly adoption events. The adoption event dates and locations are listed at www.lab-rescue.org.
If you are interested in adopting, please visit www.lab-rescue.org and complete an adoption application. After you submit 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.
