Story

Hey there, Don’t swipe. Let me explain. I know I'm rather large but I promise my heart is bigger. I love daily walks, doggie play dates, watching National Geographic as I pretend they are in the house. I can give you all the wet kisses you desire. Exceptionally if you just ate. I am lazy from eating so many snacks throughout the day or begging for them so I sleep mostly. Things that aren’t may fav are people that knock on the door/ring the door bell until I see them and cats, their claws hurt. I just want a home where I am accepted for my big size and bigger heart. Food is nice too! Will you adopt me? Think about it :)

Story

Vashta came from the local shelter when he was just 7 weeks old, after he had been found in a ditch. He likes every woman that he meets, but can take extra time to warm up to men. He has never once shown aggression towards anyone or anything. He gets along with his cat friends and would like to be better friends with them if they would allow it. He can be a bit skittish in new environments, but just wants someone to love on him all the time.

Alaska

Labrador Retriever

Female, Senior

Lexington, SC

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Alaska is a sweet, gentle lab mix. She loves to ride in the car, go for walks and lay in the sun. She had been an outside dog until she kept getting out of the fence. Alaska was adopted from a shelter as a puppy for my son by his then-girlfriend. Needless to say, she didn't follow my son once he moved out and became one of the pack at my house. She and another dog I had were bonded since she came here as a puppy. Unfortunately, that dog died a year ago and she misses her friend. Now, she lives in a laundry room or one-bedroom alot of the time b/c I have a small house, 2 other inside dogs and my son is disabled and in a power wheelchair. She also has a thick coat that sheds and causes allergy problems for me when she's able to roam around the house. She really loves everyone and just wants to get pets and belly scratches. She would make an excellent companion dog for someone who is looking for a furry canine friend. In my experience, she does well with other dogs and kids.
