About Robbie

Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now! Robbie is a charming male Labrador Retriever mix who is sure to steal your heart! Estimated to be about 5 months old as of September 2024, Robbie is already up to date on his core vaccinations appropriate for his age and is microchipped for safety. He will be neutered before leaving for his forever home unless a medical issue prevents it, in which case the rescue will work with the adopter to complete the procedure at the right time. Robbie loves people and enjoys the company of other dogs, making him a great companion for a loving household. When Robbie first arrived at the rescue, he had suffered from fleas, ticks, infected eyes, and was too weak to stand. Thanks to excellent care and his resilient spirit, Robbie has bounced back and is now full of energy, ready to run and play. If you’re searching for a handsome and spirited young boy, Robbie is ready to put the past behind him and leap into your life. Transport options are available if you live at a distance from the rescue. Robbie can’t wait to find a family who will give him the loving home he deserves. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
