Gordy is a very chill house dog. He has a happy, quirky personality and loves his humans. He is a bed hog and loves sleeping as much as he loves eating! He is a sedentery pet as he currently lives in a rental home without access to a yard. Gordy is not a typical lab. He hates water and refused to swim with us in the inground pool of our previous home. Gordy goes to Doggy Day Care 2-3 days a week to ensure he stays socialized as he is an "only dog". He gets along well with his playmates. Gordy needs a fenced in yard in the worst way. He has lived in a home with 2 seniors for his entire life. We rescued him when he was 6 months old. He was our 9th rescue and second lab. It is unknown how he would interact with kids and cats, but my gut tells me it would actually be more than ok as he's a social, love bug. Gordy completed 2 weeks of training with Sit Means Sit. He will sit, stay, heel, come, place and down. He has 2 behavior issues. He has terrible separation anxiety. We do not leave him home alone. We attend doctor appointments and run our errands, etc. when he is at doggy day care. He is leash reactive, so walking him, taking him out for potty breaks, etc. continues to be a non-starter. As aging seniors this has been our tipping point for rehoming. His primary owner is a fall risk with osteoporosis and currently hospitalized with a non-weight bearing injury. He will be moving to a skilled nursing facility for rehab. Gordy is neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. He's a healthy boy, with no special dietary needs. He eats Farmers Dog, but will arm wrestle you for the last bite of toast or salmon skin. He has had one surgery to remove a fatty tumor. Contact info: 231-571-5888 or vickie.pierson@outlook.com
