9 weeks - 9 pounds

Available 9/9/22

Fenced yard required 

I dare you to take one look at my cute little face without squealing with happiness. My foster Ma does it every time she walks in the room and sees me. I’m pretty sure I’m her favorite of all time. She says I’m her little bear cub. 

You see, I was born into a not-so-great situation where I just wasn’t able to be cared for.  My foster Family got me at 3 weeks old and gave me yummy bottles and then homemade dog food that helped me grow big and strong.  

They were so curious about me they even did a DNA test so they could see exactly what breeds I am.  It turns out, I’m mostly lab and golden retriever. 

I get my love of water from my lab genes.  I love to dig in my water bowl, bite at the sprinkler, and Wade around in my kiddie pool. I really want a family who wants to swim or run through sprinklers with me. 

I get my calm demeanor from the golden retriever.  While I love a good game of tug or wrestle, I’m generally a pretty laid back dude who enjoys following the humans around the house and yard.  I also really want a family who is looking for a dog to be a companion and to snuggle. 

Of course I’m just a baby so I need all the normal puppy things: potty training, puppy classes, and lots of socialization with people, animals, and places. 

If you think I’m the bear cub for you, please fill out an application.
