Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Biscuit is an energetic and loving yellow lab mix who loves playing and getting dog biscuits!!
Biscuit had a rough start in life. When he was only a few days old, a very uncaring person left him, along with 4 brothers and sisters, in a box in a shopping cart in the Walmart parking lot. His little eyes weren't even open yet! A good Samaritan found the puppies and took them home to care for them. This good person was a school bus driver, and had to go back to work after the holidays, so he contacted a rescue group who took over the care of the pups. Their new foster mom bottle fed them around the clock, and a foster mama dog did her part and helped feed the pups too.
When they were 3 weeks old, their foster mom posted them on petfinder.com, and a couple who were looking to adopt a puppy found them. The couple traveled an hour away to first meet the puppies, and picked out their favorite. They couldn't decide between their two favorites, so they decided to take them both!
When they were 6 weeks old, the two pups went home to live with their new family. Biscuit and Bella loved their new family very much, and their new humans loved them very much too. They were always good pups, never destructive, and had many, many good times together with their family.
Almost 8 years later, Biscuit and Bella are looking for a new home. Their family has grown by two human babies, and their Grandma moved in to help with the babies. Sadly, Grandma is allergic to the pups. No matter how much cleaning and preventatives are done, Grandma stays sick. The littlest baby seems to be having some allergy troubles too, as does the mom. After struggling with the decision for more than six months, Biscuit and Bella's family had to make the heart-breaking decision to find them a new home.
Biscuit is a yellow lab mix, and such a good boy. He's very friendly and energetic, and is always looking for someone to pet him. He listens well and is always eager to please. He loves water, running, dog biscuits and ice cubes. His ideal home would be with someone who can take him on walks, let him run free, and take him home to snuggle him.
Biscuit is up-to-date on all of his shots and vet care, crate-trained, house-trained and micro-chipped. Biscuit has had basic obedience classes and knows hand signals for "sit", "lie down" and "stay." He's ready for his forever home or a foster home.
