🌟 Meet Rumpel, the gentle giant of the canine world! At around four years old, this charming Labrador Retriever/Crossbreed mix is not just handsome—he's a heart-stealer! 💖 With a medium energy level and a calm demeanor, Rumpel shines just as brightly as a freshly polished diamond, especially when he feels safe in his surroundings. Rumpel is great with other dogs, but he’s got a soft spot for slow, proper introductions in a neutral setting. Imagine this: a quiet park, the sun shining, and two dogs casually sniffing each other out like they're old friends! 🐾 Once given a chance, Rumpel settles in nicely and can coexist beautifully with his fellow pups. Oh, and cats? He’s indifferent! He may give them a curious sniff before nonchalantly moving on. This lovable lad has met kids over 7 and loves them—as long as they respect his space. He’s a gentle soul who doesn’t jump on people and just wants all the love you can give! 💕 Talk about a cuddly companion; whether it’s warm-hearted adults or wise seniors, Rumpel is all about soaking up affection! When it comes to leash walks, Rumpel is a pro; though he might pull a little at first (he's just excited, folks!), he quickly settles down. And if you’re planning a car ride? Buckle up! Rumpel rides like an absolute champion—calm as a cucumber, whether sprawled in a seat or quietly lounging in a crate. 🚙 Now, let’s talk living arrangements! This boy is house-trained, but he would thrive best with people who understand the importance of regular walks within an 8-hour window. Rumpel has shown amazing resilience after a rocky start—he was rescued after an unfortunate feeding incident. But despite his past, he’s ready to embrace a bright future and a family who can shower him with love and patience. 🌈 Rumpel would do perfectly in an active household with a routine, especially with folks who work normal hours or from home. Just picture embarking on adventures together, traveling, and building that sweet boy’s confidence! If you’re ready to leave the past behind and make room in your heart for a loyal companion, Rumpel may just be your perfect match. Apply now through the Buddy App!
