Adopt a Labrador Retriever / Mixed

If you're looking for the ultimate snuggle bug, Ervin could be the dog for you! Ervin, affectionately called Vinnie by his foster mom, is a 5 year old Lab mix and one of the happiest dogs you'll ever meet! Ervin absolutely loves attention and will gently ask for more by kissing your hands, leaning against you, or resting his paw on your leg. If you're sitting on the couch he'll try to climb into your lap, but will settle onto a nearby dog bed if you say no. His foster mom thinks he is part cattle dog or similar and says he'd make a fantastic running, hiking, and adventure buddy, although he doesn't seem to need a ton of exercise every day- he's just happy to go along with you wherever you want to go. Ervin has excellent house manners and is housetrained in a condo. He is fostered with another dog and has met other dogs on walks and at doggie day camp and done well with all of them. The camp staff say that he's 90% lover and 10% play. Ervin isn't phased by bikes, motorcycles, skateboards or lots of people either. He has had some training at some point- his foster mom reports he knows sit, wait and shake and probably many more that he'd love to show off for you! He's familiar with a leash and has a very close heel when crossing the street or directed, but otherwise is so happy to be on an adventure with his people sometimes he forgets his manners. We think he'll remember them quickly and be easy to train to walk on leash the way you want to walk him. You'll love walking this sweet boy around your neighborhood- his happiness is contagious and you can't help but smile when you see him. Ervin can't wait to find a family who will make him the center of their world!


This information is as up to date and accurate as possible for the dog in their current environment. All dogs and puppies will need time and training to adjust to their new surroundings and learn the rules of their new home. If you are interested in meeting one of our dogs, the first step is completing the adoption application, available with our adoption process on our website at www.labsandmore.org. Your adoption includes the spay or neuter, current vaccinations, microchip, and other services provided while in our care. The safety and health of our puppies is priority one so we only allow approved applicants to meet and handle puppies. Please understand everything we do is for the dogs and conducted by our kind and generous volunteers. We rely solely on donations and we do not profit from a dog's adoption. Labs and More is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that operates on donations and time dedicated to this cause by volunteers. Your adoption will save the life of future dogs in need. Labs and More makes no guarantees regarding the behavior, breed, or age of the dogs in our care. Although we strive to provide necessary medical care to dogs in our care, we cannot predict future or current medical needs whether they were symptomatic or not at the time of adoption.
