Adopt a Black Labrador Retriever / Mixed

Pappy!!!!!! This is one of our precious whiskey pups who sadly was returned for just being a puppy without enough attention. He came back shut down and afraid of humans which is so horrible because he was a bottle baby of ours who had never known humans to be anything but amazing. Since coming home he has come to life again. The moment he finally realized where he was and who we were the light switched on for him again and he lifted his head, untucked his tail and joy came pouring out! He is still just a puppy!

Does Pappy look a bit different to you? Well though we see him as perfect, his nose, nasal passage and immune system was altered due to E Coli he that he and his siblings contracted from the mom at birth. Sadly 1/2 of his litter mates passed away but he was one of the little miracles that survived. He no longer has E. coli. His medical needs are though that he needs a benedryl sometimes daily, he cannot be out in the heat for very long and he could be more susceptible to things due to his immune system. So basically he's a big lap baby!! If you are looking for a super active running dog this pup would not be a good candidate due to his reduced nasal passages. HE loves to cuddle, play ball, HUG, learn knew things and be silly. He is currently refining his house manners. He loves people, cats and other dogs. Because it seems his puppyhood was cut short he is doing a few more young puppy behaviors we are working on like not shredding paper, house training and not wiggling so much. He needs a home where he won't be left alone for extensive periods of time. Though he is crate trained he is a bit anxious in the crate. Sad because he used to love his crate.

Pappy will be working with a trainer soon to bring some finesse to his puppy training! If you are interested in being his new FOREVER family then please apply at WWW.PROVERBS1210RESCUE.ORG. We would love for you to be a part of his training so you can learn together as a family!
