Adopt a Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat)

Nashville, aka Nash, is a one year old Lab mix weighing 62 pounds who is nothing but fun. Although Nash’s mom was a purebred Australian Cattle Dog (Heeler), the only trait he got from her is the ticking pattern on his chest and his dad was undoubtedly a Lab. Nash is very smart, and knows Sit, walks well on a leash, and runs straight into his crate when asked. He’s very treat motivated and eager to learn. He gets along well with other dogs but would do best with larger dogs who can match his playful energy, and is not suitable for a home with cats. Nash is a happy, friendly boy, but he hasn’t been exposed to a lot of people outside the home so he can be wary of new people at first until a few treats are offered, so he will need a very patient adopter who is willing to give him the time he needs to trust and a home that doesn’t have a lot of new people coming and going often. But once the ice has been broken, he is nothing but love! Nash loves to play chase after a ball, and enjoys running and playing with other dogs. Indoors, he is very focused on his person and has nice house manners. He hasn’t been in the car very many times, but is extremely well behaved and calm when going for rides and really seems to enjoy it, often standing up and looking out the window and not seeming nervous at all. Being a one year old Lab, Nash is still a puppy as far as personality, and is at a great age for exploring new things and exposing him to the great big world to make the best dog possible out of him. He has been fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, tested negative for heartworms, and is current on flea and heartworm preventatives. He is available for a $100 adoption donation, and if interested in this handsome boy, please download an adoption application from our website, www.twistedbranchaussies.com, and submit it to the email address on the form.
