Jensen is a friendly adult male Black Labrador Retriever/Hound mix living in South Pittsburg, TN. His coat is black, and he is a large, neutered dog who is vaccinated and house trained. Jensen has special needs since he requires regular eye drops and medication to manage his drinking and urination. He’s looking for a supportive home where someone is often present to meet his unique care requirements.

About Jensen

Jensen spent his days greeting people at a vet office after his family left him behind nearby, but the lack of proper care started to take its toll on his health. After coming into rescue, he bounced back quickly and is now ready to settle into a real home. His most recent bloodwork looks great—he just needs daily eye drops for dry eye, and he's started on Prozac, which has improved his excessive drinking and urination. Jensen's on the lookout for a home where someone is around often or where there is a doggie door, since he needs more frequent bathroom trips than most dogs. Other than that, he's a happy, social guy who gets along with everyone, adores other dogs, but truly shines when he’s getting attention from his people (and snack time is a close second).
