Adopt a Pointer / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat)

Rowdy is a fun, goofy & lovable, 70 pound Pointer Lab mix who is almost 3 years old (born Nov. 2014). He is well past the puppy phase and is fully potty trained, doesn't chew on the furniture or scratch up the doors/walls. He is also fully crate trained, but once he is used to his surroundings, he can roam the house freely while you are gone and he won't leave any messes!

Rowdy absolutely LOVES being able to look out the window while his humans are gone- there are so many birds and cars and squirrels to watch!! He adores his humans (all people, actually) and warms up to strangers very quickly. His favorite things include belly scratches, his ball, anyone throwing a toy for him to fetch, taking naps on the couch, treats or peanut butter in his Kong toy, sneaking into his humans' bed in the middle of the night, practicing his tricks (he knows sit, stay, down, high five and spin), and giving lots and lots kisses. Rowdy is very smart and is super quick to pick up on routine. As soon as you put on your shoes, he will run to his crate and wait for a treat! He loves to have "bed time" with his humans where he gets to cuddle in his parents' bed, but he also knows the command "go night night" and he will go straight to his bed! Due to his larger size, we might recommend no small children - Rowdy still thinks he is a puppy and doesn't understand how much he weighs! He will also need to be the only dog in the home.

If you feel your home might be the right place for such a great dog - the place to start is with the adoption application found at www.dfwrescueme.org/adopt. Once submitted, the foster will contact you promptly to tell you more and to arrange a time to meet!

The adoption fee for all of our dogs is $250.00, which includes their vaccinations and spay/neuter.

Rowdy is participating in the DFW Rescue Me Guest Dog Program, so ongoing care and custody are provided by their foster, not by DFWRM.
