Hi! My name is Irvin and I am about the sweetest boy there ever was. I'm a black lab mix and I weigh about 70 pounds. They think I'm 6 years old. For a while I had to hang out in this thing called a shelter, and while I was there, they had me meet all the new doggies coming in. They said I was so good I was their "temperament tester," whatever that means. All I know is I just love everyone and always want a human or a dog nearby. My foster mom says my name should be Shadow because I just follow her around everywhere.
I love living inside a house! It's warm and I feel safe. I don't like that crate they make me sleep in sometimes because it reminds me of my sad time in the shelter, but I will go in if you bribe me with treats! I'll bark for a bit if I am left alone. I eventually just settle in and wait for foster mom to come back, but since I can be a bit of a loudmouth, I probably shouldn't live in an apartment. I live with some cats right now, but I'm not very interested in them and just let them do their thing. I have made some new doggie friends at my foster home and would be great with just about any dog, but I am also fine to just live with a human and no other dogs. Big bonus if I can sit on the sofa with you (but foster mom doesn't allow that and that's okay too as long as you give me lots of love). I'm pretty good on a leash, but also love a fenced in yard so I can explore. I've learned very quickly that I always go outside to go potty.
One other thing, once I became an Angel, they took me to a vet and they said I have this thing called heart worms. Gross! I am doing great so far and they said I just have to get a few shots and lay low for a bit. The good news is you can go ahead and adopt me if you do it soon! The rescue will let me go ahead to my furever home before I get my first shot and still pay for the rest of the treatment. I'm a pretty easy patient, the only thing you have to remember during my treatment is to keep me calm, but I'm a pretty calm boy anyway!
Note: Some apartments and neighborhoods have breed restrictions. We verify rental policies and adhere to any regulations. Please ensure you understand those restrictions before choosing a dog.
