Squirrel is a 5-year-old, 26-pound Black Labrador Retriever/Terrier mix, found among a group of five littermates rescued from an extreme neglect situation in 2019. What stands out about Squirrel is how far he has come—originally the most fearful and skittish, he now enjoys steady routines, lounging in his fenced yard, sunbathing, and calmly mingling with other dogs. He minds his own business and stays reserved around people he doesn’t know well, but within his circle, his confidence comes through. Squirrel keeps things simple; comfort food, gentle affection, and familiarity matter most to him. He’s content in his homey space but can enjoy a ride for a cheeseburger or pup cup. He thrives best in the company of other steady, friendly dogs, which helps him feel secure and gives him positive models to follow. Squirrel is house and crate-trained, with continued improvement on leash manners and a dependable recall—though he’s happiest when change is minimal and life is relaxed. He gets along well with dogs, cats, and children, but he prefers a home with a quiet environment and an adopter who understands his need for consistency. He’s a sweet, low-key companion for someone who values simplicity and routine. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
