Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Cello is a big (90 lb.), gentle, and goofy sweetheart of a dog who is looking for a forever home with an active family. He recently finished recovering from major hip surgery and now very much wants to have a human or canine pal to run, play, and wrestle with. He is fully housetrained, good with kids (and doesn't jump), and knows (99% of the time) that he is only supposed to chew on his dog toys. He is very smart and walks fairly well on a leash but would definitely benefit from some training classes. During his first few weeks with his foster family, he did have some separation anxiety that he expressed by breaking out of his crate, scratching up front doors, and barking, but now his foster family fully trusts him loose in the house alone for at least a few hours. (Some inexpensive anti-anxiety medication has been useful in helping him to become more secure.) Other than some manageable allergies, he has no known health issues. We think he is a Lab x Great Dane mix about 4 years old, and typical of both breeds, he is very good-natured, cuddly, and attentive. He is a truly lovely dog who will make one lucky family very happy.
If you are interested in this dog, please fill out an application at www.DLRRphoenix.org. Someone will call to schedule a home visit so you can become an approved adopter. Also, visit our wonderful Facebook page at www.facebook/desertlab. Thanks!
