Hi there! My name is Hulk although I am not quite sure how I got that name. I'm not big, muscular nor do I have anger management issues.

I am a sweet boy who was an owner surrender to Anti-Cruelty in Chicago. That wasn't working out for me. I was so scared they had to give me medication to help me cope. Luckily LEARN pulled me and now I'm in a home where I can get the attention I crave. I am a fast learner and I am quickly learning how to tell people I need to outside to go potty. I sit for treats, but I have a hard time sitting when I get fed or when the leash gets put on. It takes too long and sometimes I help with the leash by carrying it in my mouth hoping that will help get it on faster.

I love walks and I actually do decently when I am wearing a harness. There are so many things to sniff and I really like sniffing. I love all people but it can sometimes take me a minute or two to warm up, so it takes me a bit to approach you. Once I know you though, I love you. I try so hard not to jump and if you remind me then I will stop.

I love toys, I love to play fetch but most of all I love being around my people. Oh, and my favorite thing to hear is that I am a good boy. My whole body just melts and if I have the opportunity to sneak in a kiss I will. Did you know that dogs can smile? I smile every once in awhile and I think I am pretty cute when I do it.

I do live with one resident dog and sometimes I want to play rough and he doesn't like it too much. So our play time is supervised and restricted. I also live with two cats. I am curious and one swiped at me on my very first day, that was a little surprising. They have places to run to get away from me so I haven't gotten to actually "meet" them yet. For some reason I think they prefer it that way.

I am on medical hold until I have a chance to heal from my neuter scheduled for October 4th. If you are looking for a handsome young Lab like myself, get your application in pronto! Or, if you are an approved adopter please email labmatch@labadoption.org. I hope I get some interest, I would love to find my forever home!
