Meet Kevin!
This sweet boy has captured many hearts but is still looking for his forever home. Initially pulled from a shelter and overweight, Kevin is in great shape and loving life with his foster.
Despite his age, Kevin is always up for a game of fetch and enjoys his walks. He can pull on his walks but is smart and highly food motivated so can be distracted from whatever he’s pulling towards. He’s also occasionally reactive to some dogs while on leash, displaying an interest to meet. He is, however, dog selective, and prefers not to interact with some dogs when their personalities don’t mesh so caution should be used while meeting new dogs. Once again, he is very easily redirected from any negative interactions with food and a confident handler. He listens well to people he’s just met.
Kevin knows basic commands and may find age appropriate trick training and dog puzzles interesting. Kevin was overweight when he came into care, and displaying typical lab tendencies, will eat everything and anything so treat consumption should be monitored. His kibble can also be used instead.
Kevin does not love a crate but is non destructive when left home alone and loose. He is used to being alone while his foster works outside of the home. He is a Velcro dog when his foster is home and will lounge next to him, occasionally asking for pets.

*Medical Information: Kevin had a growth in one of his testicles, it was extracted when he was neutered and sent to the lab. It came back as a seminoma. Seminomas are highly treatable by neutering and only ~10% of seminomas act malignant (rarely acting like a cancer – metastasizing and causing issues). Routine yearly vet check ups are highly recommended (as with all of our dogs) to monitor.
