ADOPTED!

Meet Blade! He is a handsome, mellow 6-year-old male yellow Labrador Retriever who came to WCLRR after his family abandoned him. He was cared for by a neighbor, who fed him and took him to the vet to make sure he was OK. We believe Blade spent a lot of his life outside; he prefers being an inside dog now!

Blade loves being with people. He is always ready for a walk and loves chasing balls! His foster Mom says that he will generally stay next to her on walks, although he sometimes pulls, especially when he sees a squirrel or other small critter. He loves to fetch and likes to carry a stuffed toy in his mouth when he’s not chasing balls! Blade loves trips to the beach and enjoys camping and hiking. He is excellent in the car, happy to be with his people, and looks out the window at the world going by!

Blade is a bright boy who knows sit, down, shake, leave it, and no. His foster has not had him in a crate. Instead, he sleeps on a dog bed in his foster parents’ room. He is quiet through the night and stays in bed until his people get up to feed him.

Blade lives with a 12-year-old male lab, and they get along fine, although he has exhibited some resource guarding with his stuffed toys. He will sometimes bark at other dogs during a walk, but they usually bark at him first. He is good with children and is happy to pet him and throw balls.

Blade is good in the home, but he has had a couple of accidents. His foster mom is working with him on this. He will sometimes put his paws on counters to see what’s happening, usually when food is prepared. His new family will want to keep counters clear of anything that could be dangerous to him.

Blade’s ideal home would be with an active individual, couple, or family that has plenty of time to spend with him. He enjoys being up for anything with his people. He would be a good companion for someone that likes to walk, hike, or jog, although he is also quite happy to nap at your feet during a Netflix binge! He loves to play and would enjoy children or another dog as companions.

Blade is neutered, is current on his vaccines, and is microchipped.
