About Myers

Myers, born on February 13, 2023, is a joyful blend of Labrador Retriever and Boxer who brings a dose of goofiness and playful energy into any home. Known for his silly antics and constant desire to entertain, Myers will have you laughing with his toy-tossing and attempts to chomp playfully at your feet. He gets along very well with other dogs and would shine in a household with a playful canine friend, but he's also content as a solo pet—provided he gets plenty of affection and activity. He’s crate trained, house trained, and enjoys spending time outside, making a fenced yard an ideal setup for him. Myers does have some sensitivity around his hindquarters due to old BB pellets revealed on x-rays, so he needs a family—ideally with no children or only older, gentle ones—who will respect his boundaries. Despite a tough start, Myers embodies resilience and pure happiness, ready to spread his positive spirit in a new home. If you’re looking for a companion who lives life with joy and exuberance, Myers is waiting in Youngsville, NC, to show you just how wonderful a dog he can be. Ready to meet your new best friend?
