Mingo is a big-hearted, sensitive Labrador weighing about 80 lbs and estimated to be around 7 years old. He was abandoned in a harsh environment but, after being rescued, he’s come a long way. At first, Mingo was wary of humans and acted out of fear, but with patient care, he’s discovered the joys of companionship and home life. If a dog runs up on him or jumps at his face, Mingo gets nervous, and he’s also uneasy around small children, loud noises, and sudden movements. He’d do best in a quiet home where changes are introduced slowly and gently. Mingo enjoys the company of mellow dogs that respect his space, and while he’s curious about cats, he hasn’t shown aggression toward them. Belly rubs, treats, and naps are his favorite things, especially when accompanied by a kind human who gives him time to relax and trust. He’s housebroken and crate trained. Mingo is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and currently undergoing heartworm treatment. Although he’s based in Tulsa, OK, he’s available for adoption anywhere in the U.S. Mingo is searching for a calm, loving retirement home with someone patient and gentle who wants a loyal companion.
