Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Look at my face! I ask you, do I look like a trouble maker? Do I look like I could be guilty of anything except maybe givin’ too much lovin’? Maybe, just maybe, a little too much good-natured fun gotten outta control? My family set me up for failure. After much thought and soul searchin’ it’s the only conclusion I can come to. I may look kinda dopey, just an 8-month-old Labby-pup, all gangly legs and goofy smiles……..but I can tell when I’m not wanted. And I can tell when folks aint cuttin’ me a square deal. And even though I let the kid ride me like a pony and steal my food and toys right outta my mouth, my family ditched me. Good thing I landed with The Animal Support Project, that’s for sure! They know I’m a gem that just needs a little polish.
Why, already, I’m takin’ classes in Basic Obedience and Agility, learnin’ all the refinements of a civilized dawg. I’m socializin’ with people and with other animals, includin’ Hemi the cat and Missy the Chihuahua. And although once in awhile I get that puppy-urge to run up and rassle, I’m learnin’ how to ask nicely for attention instead of boundin’ up and pouncin’ on this one or that. My old family told folks I was dirty in the house…..that I messed on the floor. Well, you just ask my foster Mom and Dad and they’ll tell you the truth: I aint soiled nuthin’ in the house. I’m a clean boy. I just need to get out once in awhile to do my business, y’know? It aint like I’ve got thumbs I can use to open the door myself, for cryin’ out loud!
In the past, I didn’t get any care. So my hair fell out and a family of fleas took over my butt like a bunch of unwelcome cousins! Now, my coat shines like a mirror. I’m neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, housetrained, and a great all-around companion. Each day, I get smarter and each day I grow more handsome and more of a gentleman.
Do you wish for a great family dawg who can grow up with your kids? Someone who will follow you around like you’re the greatest VIP on earth? Won’t ya give a call and give me another chance? 518-727-8591
