Gauge is a 6-year-old neutered male black lab. Gauge weighs 63 pounds and is up to date on shots. This dog is approved for homes with children ages 10 and up.
Fencing: Needs fence either physical or underground.
Gauge & Hunter are from a suburban area and have 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.

Oct 19, 2017: Gauge & Hunter are easy going friendly and love to get attention. Gauge seems to be the leader and the first to meet you to get attention. Hunter will come up to you to get petted and give kisses after you meet Gauge. Gauge likes to retrieve toys Hunter is willing to watch him and comes over to find out what he has.
