Rehome | From One Loving Family to Another

PUREBRED LAB AND VERY GOOD BOY

Bruce Wayne is a purebred lab (we did a DNA test on him) who our vet thinks is roughly 18 months old. He was found wandering our community a couple of months ago and we took him in (he was not microchipped and no one claimed him despite reaching out to the community). He’s been bought up to date on shots, has been neutered, and is now fully leash trained and doing obedience classes with us.

Bruce is an absolute sweetheart. He loves playing with our other dogs and getting snuggles. He would do incredibly well in an active home with no cats or other small critters (he has tried chasing our chickens a few times).

Since we have indoor cats, Bruce has lived happily with our livestock guardian dogs in our barn/paddock area. That means he is not potty trained. Having said that, he is incredibly trainable and we believe he will learn where to go potty very quickly once rehomed.

Bruce is very food motivated and quickly learns commands using little bits of kibble or treats. He already knows how to sit, stay, come, and wait.
