About Picasso

Picasso is hard to miss with his charming, crooked jaw—an old injury the vet says doesn't slow him down one bit. His quirky look just adds to his appeal. At just over 3 years old, this medium-sized Labrador Retriever/Husky mix is as friendly as they come, getting along with both children and other dogs. He’s crate and house trained, neutered, heartworm negative, and stays up to date with his vaccines and preventatives. Picasso weighs in at about 48 pounds, making him big enough for a hike but still manageable at home. He will need a home with a fully fenced yard, with no exceptions, to keep him safe and secure. This requirement is non-negotiable, so only consider applying if you can meet this need. Picasso does not get along with cats, so a cat-free home is necessary. He’s happiest in homes based in the Hampton Roads or Williamsburg area, and adopters must be at least 23 years old. Born on November 20, Picasso is a Scorpio—known for vibrant personalities and a determined spirit. If you want a loyal buddy with a standout look and a big heart, Picasso is waiting for you. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
