Grendel is a leggy, medium-sized adult Labrador Retriever mix with a sleek black, short coat. He weighs about 50 lbs and was initially shy, but he's really come out of his shell. Grendel walks nicely on a leash and is working on his house training. His previous owner had to move and couldn’t bring him along, so now he’s looking for someone who can offer him a stable home. Grendel needs a fenced area for safety and play. The shelter requires all adopted dogs to be neutered before going home, though there may be a short wait if it hasn’t been done yet. College students aren’t eligible to adopt from this group, but are welcome to volunteer. Give Grendel a visit in Lexington, VA, and see if he’s the one for you. Adoption support animals or service dogs are not available at this facility. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
