Story
Desmond is a national treasure, and the dog everyone deserves! He is smart, playful, dog friendly, and loving. He is potty trained, crate trained, and FULL of personality. He is in foster with both male and female dogs, and plays so well with them all. He understands which dogs want to play rough and rowdy, and which want to be left alone. He lives for toys and can play with them and amuse himself for hours. He will amuse you too with his army crawling, rolling, and throwing his toys in the air for himself. He is athletic, and has even gone to dock diving competitions and earned himself a medal! As most lab mixes, he LOVES the water! Check out his antics here (https://youtube.com/shorts/sQnVFXLSs1k?feature=share), he can definitely keep himself entertained!He has excellent leash manners and is so excited to go on walks. He has never met a stranger, and every person is his new best friend. He does well in the car and really is just happy to be with you. He is medium to high energy while playing, but knows how to relax and cuddle, as well. During playgroups, Desmond was a riot! From the first minute in the yard, he let it be known that he was there to ROCK OUT! He ran, chased, wrestled, and seemed to love interacting with the other dogs. He played with females and males, and he seemed to believe that he was King for the Day! He had an absolute blast.He does have some allergies/sensitivities that are affecting his coat. We have changed his food and added fish oil to his routine to work on it. It is not contagious and is improving. He is also heartworm positive, but has already started treatment and will be good as new soon. Heartworm is not contagious either, and after treatment, has no lasting effects. If you think Desmond is a good fit for you or your family, please email his foster mom at hickeym08@gmail.com. He cannot wait to meet you, and you will be rewarded with a lifetime of love, laughs, and loyalty. Desmond is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, is microchipped, neutered and ready to go home! Although he is heartworm positive, it is treatable and not contagious. Friends of Wake County Animal Center has provided a $600 sponsorship to help cover the cost of treatment. If you have dogs or cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times. Primary Color: Black Weight: 58.5 Age: 4yrs 6mths 2wks
