He is a very great and loving dog. Unfortunately, hes not the best around my infant daughter. Hes decent around her but I cant trust him around her alone so I need to rehome him. He is a cuddler but he does bark a lot! He is almost 3 years old in March 2026. Very well potty trained and loves to be active as much as possible.

Story
Meet the snack puppies! These little cuties look like mini labs and also have some Heeler and terrier thrown in the mix. They’re 8 weeks old and 6-8 pounds, and we estimate they’ll be around (22-30 pounds) full grown. They’re yet another accidental litter, but thankfully mom will be getting fixed with the owner and these pups will find great forever homes and all be fixed to stop the cycle of endless unwanted litters. They’re happy, playful puppies who adore attention. They have great temperaments and will make fantastic family companions! Girls: Nilla, Goldfish, Cheez-It, Pringle Boys: Funyan, Chex

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Old Yeller, is that a new trend? Old stuff made NEW?? Cause I am NOT old, although I am Yeller, a really pretty YELLER COLOR!!! :) I am a Yeller Chesapeake bay retriever/ YELLER lab mix, it is important for my new family to know about the Chesapeake bay breed. We can be very stubborn, smart and independent and I really like to be in charge, so my new family needs to be strong leaders too. I am a handsome bloke, with swirls of yellow and white all through my coat. I am very smart and very sweet. I can from a high kill shelter with no hope- Now I EXUDE hope!! And LOVE!!! I WAS heartworm positive but have already finished the treatment and am NEGATIVE and just stay on prevention for the rest of my life. I am good with other dogs, but really would be best in an only dog home, cause I want all the attention :) I LOVE MY people and I tend to take "control" of my home so have to have a couple of things... 1) STRONG leadership owner, 2) I have to have an owner who will be wiling to not let me meet everyone who visits.. I want to protect my home a little too much... and 3) I have to stay in the San Antonio/TX area so my rescue friends can keep close tabs on me and how i am doing :) I have been running and playing since I am safe, but really am a couch potato. I am a bigger boy and about 65-70#. Look me up, get my number, text or call me OR just APPLY to ADOPT ME!!! I will be waiting by the phone!!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX)
