Looking for a dog who brings the party, the energy, and the full-body wiggles?
Say hello to Larry — a 3½‑year‑old fun machine who has been scientifically proven* to make every day 200% brighter.
(*Okay, maybe not scientifically… but we’re pretty confident.)
Larry is the type of dog who wakes up every morning ready to seize the day—with a tennis ball, a zoomie plan, and a sparkle in his eye. His absolute favorite thing in the whole wide world? FETCH. If fetch were an Olympic sport, he’d bring home the gold. And also the silver. And probably all the tennis balls too.
He ADORES other dogs and thrives in playgroups, where he shows off his best moves (including but not limited to: dramatic play bows, joyful sprints, and his signature “happy hop”). Larry is basically that one friend who’s always the life of the party—except he has fur and better manners.
Speaking of manners, this smart cookie really enjoys training time! He knows his basics and loves learning new things, especially if it means he gets praise, treats, or the promise of another round of fetch.
What Larry dreams of:
An active family who can keep up with his zest for life
A fenced yard where he can zoom, romp, and practice his ball‑retrieval skills
Humans who will continue his obedience training (he’s already a star student!)
Tons of love, laughs, and adventures
Larry has been waiting in a Tennessee shelter for a while now, and he’s so ready for his big break—a forever home where he can shine, play, and finally belong.
If you’re looking for a joyful, energetic, loyal companion who will keep you smiling and keep you moving, Larry is your guy. Apply for this Hamhead!!! LOL

More about this rescue
Fetching Hearts Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)(3), volunteer run rescue that is dedicated to saving dogs who have been abused, neglected or abandoned and finding loving, caring homes for them.
We rely on a network of foster families so that each dog that we pull into the safety of our rescue is placed in a foster home and is no longer confined to a life in a kennel.
We are committed to helping dogs of all ages, breeds and sizes by partnering with shelters and animal control services right here in Connecticut as well as with several high kill shelters in the South.
We do a full assessment of each dog's temperament and health to ensure that we are able to find the most suitable home for them. Every dog is fully vetted - meaning they are up to date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and micro chipped - before being adopted.
The ASPCA estimates that approximately 3.3 million dogs in the United States enter shelters each year, of which approximately 670,000 are euthanized*. Our goal is to advocate for and provide education about the need for spaying and neutering to eliminate what has become an epidemic of unwanted dogs.*
