Male Dog, Labrador Retriever
Labrador Retriever / Mixed (Medium Coat)
Description:
My name is Yin and I came to the shelter as a stray so not much is known about me. I am a sweet boy with humans and came in with another dog that I seemed to get along well with. However, I have had issues with livestock/horses in the past that will need to be managed and monitored and slow introductions with other animals are recommended. My foster home reports that my leash skills have really been improving. And they also report that I have become much less reactive to bikes/cars/runners with time and training. I'm very smart and eager to learn. Give me a chance!The shelter folks know me as Yin, but the couple that took me in during the storm call me Shadow, because I am their little shadow and follow them all around the house. I have been such a good dog that they decided to keep me at the house after the storm. Let me tell you a little about myself:I am a perfect angel in the house, I seem completely house trained, donât chew on anything except what I have been given to chew and I stay off the furniture all on my own. I donât even beg for human food! And I donât jumpâ¦..much. I know 'sit' really well. I am working on 'down' now.I have a very soft, shiny coat and have not shed at all while in this home. I am very clean! I have beautiful golden eyes.I am very calm and take naps when nothing is going on in the house. I love ear messages and lots of pets and kisses. I am very affectionate and love to be loved. Neck hugs are the best!I was in a very loving home in the past but they did not show me how to play so I have no idea what to do if you throw a ball or try to play tug even though I am a Labrador retriever. I need someone to show me how to be a dog in this regard.Speaking of dogsâ¦.I react to dogs when we are out taking walks. That is my biggest challenge. Maybe I have not gotten to socialize with other dogs very much. I may need some training in this regard, but I am sure I can learn to be a good dog regarding this too. Sometimes I pull on the leash during walks but I am getting so much better at this after just a few days with my foster family. I will be in charge of keeping squirrels, rabbits and stray cats out of the yard too, LOL. I will be sure to keep you safe from them!Thatâs about it. I really canât wait to have my forever home and love my people. I will make a fantastic dog for the right people. Are you my family? The couple that has me now would be happy to let you know all about the time I have been in their home. We have had a really good time together.Thanks for reading, Yin/ShadowINSIGHTS FROM MY ADVENTURE BUDDIES:`Yin was so much fun to hang out with! He is VERY food motivated! He barked at other dogs walking by so we used treats and asked him to âsitâ for them as they passed. He did great with this - heâs a quick learner!! Yin was unsure about how to get up in the car at first, but rode really well. And he did great on the leash!!! With a little structure, heâd be an amazing addition to your life!`My adoption fee has been fully sponsored.Adopt me and pay $0.00!!!I am currently available in my foster home.
