Introducing Ray, formerly known as Benjamin! 🌟 This sweet, 5-month-old lab mix is a delightful bundle of joy, currently tipping the scales at a charming 35 pounds! 🐶 Nestled in a loving foster home in Houston, TX, Ray is ready to embark on his journey to find a forever family. Once an approved adopter is found, he can transport out of state—so get ready for your future best friend! 🥳 This handsome pup has a heart full of love and truly wants to be by your side, wherever you go. Ray adores his humans, and after a whirlwind session of zoomies, he’ll settle in beside you—eagerly engaging with his favorite toys. 🎾 He’s not just a snuggle bug; he’s a curious learner with that bright lab smile, putting his paws to the test with his speedy learning skills! Ray shares his foster home with a pug, and he’s learning the art of respect—although he sometimes forgets he’s not her size and gets carried away with excitement! 🐾 While he barks when meeting new dogs or people, he’s quickly learning they could be his future furry friends. With larger dogs, he plays nicely and listens well, showing that this sweet boy is on his way to mastering his social skills! This smart cookie is mostly potty trained, does well in his crate, and has shown no signs of resource guarding—though he might try to sneak a bite from his pug buddy’s bowl! 😜 Kids and cats remain a mystery, but we believe older kids would enjoy the playful antics of this spirited pup. Just be aware; Ray may be a little too boisterous for the littles, as he’s still working on his manners. Ray’s ideal home would be an active one, with a spacious yard and perhaps another playful pup! 🏡 However, he can also thrive in a human-only household as long as he gets plenty of adventures and lots—lots—of love! If you’re in search of a loyal companion and the goodest boy to warm your heart, Ray is your pup! To make this lovable furball a part of your life, be sure to **apply through the Buddy App**. Trust us, your life is about to get a whole lot brighter with Ray around!
