About Hi I'm Mister

Click apply to start the adoption process. Meet Mister, a 3-year-old lab mix who has found his way into care after being saved from a local shelter. Known for his "velcro" personality, Mister may be a little shy at first, but he will quickly warm up and gladly jump in your lap for cuddles. He thrives on both play and snuggle time with his foster family and their blind pit foster sister, making him a wonderful companion for other friendly pups. Mister absolutely loves car rides and enjoys joining his foster family for meals at outdoor eateries and long walks on the beach. As both crate trained and house broken, he is easy to have in the home. Mister is smart and well-behaved; he even mastered the treat puzzle—a feat not every foster dog before him accomplished! His easygoing and affectionate temperament makes him the perfect adventure buddy for someone who loves outdoor activities like hiking, camping, or visiting the beach. Mister is currently being fostered in Orange County and would love to meet you and hopefully become the newest member of your family. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
