Meet Pershing—he’s on the lookout for a fresh start with a family who will stick with him from here on out. Pershing didn’t have the smoothest beginning, but he’s all in for a loving, stable home. He’s a Black Labrador Retriever mix with a striking black and cream coat, about 4-5 years old, and he’s still figuring out the basics some dogs take for granted. Routine comforts him, and he’s making progress on leash and crate manners, though a squirrel in sight is a real distraction. Pershing can be goofy and eager to please when there’s food or a kind word around. He’s not yet house trained, but he’s quick to pick up new things, especially with positive reinforcement. What Pershing really needs is structure, patience, and continued encouragement—he’ll reward you with loyal companionship and plenty of sweet moments. He’s looking for a place in Indian Mound, TN, where someone will show him how good it feels to be truly at home. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
