Meet Roosevelt! This handsome and sweet guy is a 3 year old lab mix, weighing in at approximately 50 pounds. He has the striking good looks known to all black labs, but he has sad eyes that only a loving family can fix! Roosevelt found himself at the shelter through no fault of his own and is looking for a forever family to give him the love and attention he deserves! Could it be yours?

Roosevelt is out of his puppy years but he is still a lab after all so he will need a lot of both mental and physical stimulation on a daily basis to keep him happy and healthy. An adopter who works full time would need to commit to having a midday dog walker or day care for him during the week. He would love to go on long walks, hikes, and take trips to the dog park so he can socialize with his canine friends. And of course, upon returning home, he'd love to shower his new forever family with tons of kisses and cuddles!

Roosevelt gets along great with other dogs so he'd be a great addition to an existing pack – or he'd be happy to soak up all the attention as an only dog! We haven't had a chance to see him interact with cats or kids yet. If you have them, let us know, and we'll do our best to find out! Roosevelt is also looking forward to attending obedience school to hone in his doggie manners and impress his new family.

Roosevelt will make a GREAT companion and family member; you won’t regret opening your heart and home to this sweet boy!

Like most shelter dogs, Roosevelt may need a refresher on housetraining. He is likely crate trained.

Roosevelt has tested positive and been treated for Heartworm disease. Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites.  Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative.

The adoption fee for this dog is $450, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment. If you are interested in adopting, please download our Adoption Questionnaire and email it to Lauren at [email protected]!
