Male Dog, Labrador Retriever
Labrador Retriever / Mixed (Short Coat)
Description:
Meet Deacon, he is a lab mix with a great personality… uh, dog-anality. He is house trained, crate trained and leash trained. Deacon can be a jumper and loves to run in his yard, so a 5 ft fenced in yard is a must for this boy. If you want to see pure joy, watch him when he is playing with toys or gets the zoomies. It goes to a whole new level if the toy has a squeaker, those are his absolute favorite. He does not like taking a bath, having someone hold his feet, or getting his nails cut. He's your typical guys guy - not metrosexual at all. Who needs all that floofy stuff anyway? Deacon is going to do best if he is the only animal or in a home with a non bossy or non grouchy female dog that is spayed. He is not a fan of all small dogs that are bossy, he likes female non bossy small dogs and some kids, he may chase cats, but he likes them and just wants to play. Deacon may be too high energy for larger dogs. Deacon was bounced around a bit before he went to his foster home, due to that he can be slow to warm up, but once you are his person - he desires nothing more than to be by your side… and have squeaky toys. Did I mention he loves squeaky toys? Deacon is still figuring out the world and will need someone who will be patient with him… he can't just be thrown into new situations and expect to thrive. A good example, is those spooky moving doors at PetSmart. He doesn't understand them and we'll be honest, they freak him out a little, he is getting better- but he's learning. Deacon has recently completed 2 weeks of board and train. Note: The training he received comes with lifetime training touch ups. Once he has settled in, the trainer will provide you with training sessions to help acclimate him to his new home , they also provide group training sessions most Saturdays at local parks. Deacon weighs approximately 45 lbs and has been neutered and microchiped. If you think Deacon would make a good addition to your family, fill out an application at lastdaydogs.com
