Male Dog, Labrador Retriever
Labrador Retriever / Hound / Mixed
Description:
Russell is looking for a family to give him some structure and hopefully a dog friend. He was adopted out last year and returned recently. When he came in, he was very scared. Our amazing staff, working with a local dog trainer has helped Russell turn things around. He has calmed down and is responding well to his training and play group.He has the look that folks seem to hope for—compact (43.6 pounds), black Lab mix with white socks. He is old enough (5 years) to have learned plenty of life's lessons but is still young enough to be curious and willing to learn.Russell was originally found traveling a dangerous highway by a good Samaritan. He came to us confused and frightened. At first, he would shiver and slouch into a corner but is quickly learning to love visits. He keeps his room tidy and appreciates his comfy bed. He is quiet and rarely barks. In the evening, he looks forward to a Kong chew toy with a treat smeared inside. Fill out our online application to find out more about him. Whoever adopts Russell wil have a free training session with our training partners at Camp Merricks to help with the transition and his continued confidence building.
