Reader: Goofball, Lovebug, Ball-Chaser Extraordinaire
Available for Foster or Adoption in Georgia. Can travel for the right adopter!

I don’t know how I got my name, since I can’t read, but I do know how to bring joy wherever I go. I’m a 1.5-year-old chocolate Lab mix, about 50 pounds of happy-go-lucky, tail-wagging energy.

My pictures don't do me justice. I am more handsome! And... I’m a total goof. I love people. I love dogs. I love life. I flop on my side, tongue out, just to ask for pets. If you sit, I’ll be there nudging your hand for love. I move from person to person like I’m handing out smiles.

I ended up in a crowded shelter after getting lost or left behind. It was loud and overwhelming. I landed on the list no dog wants to be on. But someone believed in me and pulled me out. Now I’m in Georgia, waiting for the kind of person who wants to meet me.

I’m neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and ready for a forever home. I get along great with other dogs and walk well on a leash. I haven’t met cats yet, but we can take that slow. I’m gentle with kids and a big fan of their snack-dropping skills.

And the ball. I love the ball. I don’t always bring it back, but I chase it with my whole heart. If you have a kiddie pool, even better. Splashing around is one of my favorite ways to spend the afternoon.

I’m young, playful, affectionate, and chill when I need to be. There are no red flags. Just a sweet, goofy dog who wants to be part of your life.

If you want a best friend who makes you laugh, keeps you company, and fills your home with joy, let’s meet. I’m ready when you are.
