Friday's Friend! Dog Adoption, Lab Rescue

My friend "Lab Lady" from Lab Rescue stopped by this week with a young fella named Smokey who is looking for his "Forever Home!" with humans to love who will love him too!

Barkingly, Smokey is a Black Labrador Retriever around 2 years old. His "Forever Home!" should be a single-family home located in a rural or suburban area. A physical fence is required, no underground fence. BARKS! He will have a training addendum attached to his adoption.

Smokey is a happy, pawsomely grand cuddle bug who loves everyone. He is a very smart guy who likes to pawlease his humans.

He enjoys car rides, zoomies, de-stuffing toys, and, paws, pawforming squeakerectomies. Squeakerectomies? BARKS! Abby and I like to do that! Barks, it's chewing out the squeaker thingy in toys! Woofs.

Barks, Smokey enjoys going for walks, watching TV, pawlaying with dogs, and protecting the yard from vermin! Woofs. He is very good on a leash. If he gets distracted on walks, his foster humans use the "quiet command" to redirect him. 

Smokey recently welcomed another foster dog into his foster home and is showing her the ropes!

Barks, he knows lots of commands and have gotten to level 3 on puzzles with very little assistance! 

Paws, he has gained lots of confidence in public. Bark, he went to Lowe's when it was relatively quiet and a soccer tournament. At the game, he did well interacting with other humans and dogs. His foster mom did offer distractions to help him when a dog kept passing. He didn't bark once! 

Barkingly, Smokey is not a fan of rain or water. He will hide if someone is pawlaying with a water gun. 

Paws, he isn't a fan of being led by his collar to a different room. 

Smokey created a few videos to help with his adoption:

Smokey is recommended for mini-humans ages 10 and older. He is good with other dogs. Unknown history with cats.
