My story

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

Meet Dude!

A lovable six-year-old Labrador Retriever from Miami, FL, whose essence is an irresistible blend of playfulness and unwavering loyalty, wrapped in a sleek charcoal coat.

Dude is the quintessential Lab, bursting with enthusiasm for life and everyone he meets! This large, 90-pound bundle of joy lives for the thrill of chasing any ball thrown his way and will swim until his legs need a well-deserved rest. His days are a delightful mix of fetching sticks in water, hiking through trails, and lounging in the cool shade.

Although Dude hasn’t had formal obedience training, he knows the essential commands like sit, stay, come, and lay down. His behavior is impeccable; he’s never displayed any signs of aggression or stress, even when left alone for short periods. Dude is incredibly adaptable to any routine, although he does enjoy a morning walk to kickstart his day.

Health-wise, Dude is in great shape. He’s up-to-date with vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and house-trained. Like many Labs, he has a bit of joint sensitivity, but he manages it well with over-the-counter joint chewables.

Personality-wise, Dude is a dream! He’s playful, friendly with strangers, good with other dogs and young children, and a constant companion. His medium energy level makes him an ideal fit for both active adventures and relaxed home time. What makes Dude truly special is his all-encompassing love for people. Whether it's friends, family, or the occasional service person, Dude greets everyone with a wagging tail and an open heart! He’s the type of dog who never tries to escape or get territorial; he just wants to be part of the action and share his love.

Dude is looking for a forever home that can offer him the same love and activity he’s known all his life. A family that enjoys outdoor adventures, has a yard for play, and is ready for lots of snuggles will be perfect for him! Dude thrives on a raw food diet from Farmer's Dog, and he’s ready to transition into a new home, even if it means a long-distance move.

Also, Dude is open to a long-distance adoption—love knows no distance when finding your perfect companion!
