My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Who's looking for the perfect pal?

I am pleased to introduce you to Darnell, the 3-4 year old 75-80 lbs yellow lab. This boy is sweet as pie and as smooth as butter. He will get along with your mom, your brother, your neighbor, anyone, plus any dogs, cats and kids you have too. Darnell's front left leg is shorter than the rest of them due to a previous injury but he doesn't let it slow him down or take away from his quality of life.

Darnell loves a good snuggle just as much as a good run. He's leash trained, housebroken and crate trained (all thanks to his wonderful Foster mama) and is looking for his forever home. His future family will either need a 6' tall privacy fence or a firm commitment to leash walking as this boy can scale a chain link fence (I told you he doesn't let his leg keep him down!). He's an easy going boy that still has some spunk. Questions or adoption inquiries should be directed to courtney@bigfluffydogs.com


If you are interested in adopting this dog, please apply online, at http://www.bigfluffydogs.com/online-app.php. Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process. NOTE TO EMAILERS FROM ADOPT-A-PET: WE DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAIL INQUIRIES WITHOUT AN APPLICATION. WE REGRET WE CANNOT RESPOND TO EVERY EMAIL, BUT UNLESS YOU FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, WE DO NOT KNOW YOU EXIST. All known information about an individual dog is provided in it's listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters must understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for:1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only "hold it" for one hour per month of age (ex. a 4 month old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break).2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old, to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise.3.) Socialization: The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home.4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded tenfold, for years to come.Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy.Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time consuming, and can be expensive.All Dogs Require:Supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well socialized dog is more than worth the effort put in to get them there.
