Midas is a bright, energetic pup with a fun personality and sharp mind. He shows his love in meaningful ways, such as lighting up when his people walk in, enthusiastically engaging in endless games of fetch, and happily joining outdoor adventures where he can explore the world by your side.

He already knows cues like sit and shake, and would love to keep learning with someone who enjoys working with an intelligent, active dog. If you’re the kind of person who finds joy in building skills and communication, Midas will be an incredibly rewarding partner.Midas is looking for a home where he can be the only pet, and he’s best matched with teens and adults who appreciate structure, clear boundaries, and positive training. When given the time and understanding he needs, Midas forms deep connections with his people.If you’re ready for an active companion who will engage you, grow alongside you, and form a meaningful bond, Midas might be the start of your next great adventure.

Sonic

Labrador Retriever

Male, Adult
Bangor, ME
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sonic is an almost 3-year-old labrador husky mix. He is a high-energy boy and at 65 pounds he is a good size with lots of love to give. He loves to be outside playing in the snow and loves toys and activities of all kinds. He requires a lot of mental stimulation and is extremely smart. He wants to be where his people are, he loves to sit next to you on the couch and snuggle up at your feet for bedtime. He loves to give kisses and is very affectionate. He would do best as the only dog because he likes to play hard and not all dogs are interested in that type of play/interaction. He would play all day long if he could. He should only be around older children because he tends to knock over little ones due to his size. He does have some anxiety issues from his time as a stray that has improved with medication. He would be a great fit for an active family with older children or an adult who works from home.
