Adopt a Labrador Retriever (medium coat)

Buddy is a handsome male yellow lab/boxer mix, with really big soulful brown eyes that you could just fall into. He is neutered, approximately 11 years old, weighs 75 pounds, and is in excellent health. He is housetrained and has had free run of our house when we were home and when we have been away. He is presently living with 2 other labs, and a cat. He never even notices the cat. He likes everybody, and everybody likes him!

Buddy sleeps on a dog bed in our bedroom at night. He is very gentle, and takes a treat from your hand easily. Buddy loves to be wherever we are, inside or out. He is calm, loving, and a real sweetheart! When outside he likes to lay in the sun. He loves to have his belly rubbed and neck scratched. He is a lab, so he loves all the attention he can get! 

Buddy is up to date on all of his vaccinations. He has arthritis in his hind legs, so he leans on his hip when he sits. He usually lays down if he is not standing. We have been giving him Rimadyl for the arthritis, which allows him to keep up with his brothers. Buddy likes to run out in the fenced in back yard, then come in and just be with his people. He’ll hop right up and follow you whenever you leave the room, and really wants to be with his alpha.

He does pull at bit on the leash, and needs a little work in that area. He likes his fur brothers, but I do not know if he has to have them around all the time. While eager to leave the house and hop into the car, he doesn’t care for riding in the car and will whine and pace in the back seat the entire trip.

Buddy would make an ideal companion for an older person, but he will be happy wherever he is with love and attention.
