About Johnny

Johnny is a 10-year-old Labrador Retriever and Pit Bull mix with standout red and white coloring and speckled ears. He gravitates toward a single, devoted person—ideally someone comfortable with being his whole world. Johnny thrives when he's got his human's full attention, whether that means heading out on hikes, tossing a ball around, relaxing with TV, or cruising in the car. If you leave him alone for long stretches or try to make him share his person, he won't be happy. He listens to commands and loves affection, especially scratches. Johnny prefers to be the only dog in the house; he isn't comfortable around other dogs, particularly males. He's still agile and healthy for his age, although his fence-jumping days are mostly behind him. This dog is for someone looking for a loyal sidekick rather than a group pet or playmate for children. Johnny has plenty of love to give to the right match, especially one who wants a close companion for daily routines and lazy afternoons. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
