This handsome guy is Jude! Jude is an approximately 1.5-year-old, 55 lbs. Shepherd/Labrador mix with shiny good looks and a personality that says, “why stop playing?” This guy is always ready for the next game, the next toy, the next adventure. If dogs had a play button… Jude’s would be permanently stuck ON. 🎾⚡ He’s a confident, independent pup who doesn’t need constant affection or cuddles to be happy. Jude shows his love through movement, fun, and good vibes, making him a great match for someone who enjoys an active dog with a little bit of “cool guy” energy. Jude already has some training under his belt — he knows sit and will go right into his crate when asked, which makes daily routines a breeze. He does fairly well with other dogs, especially female dogs, and enjoys having canine friends to romp around with. When it comes to meals, Jude does best being fed separately as he’s still learning that food will be consistent after spending time on the streets. With routine and reassurance, he continues to make great progress and feels most comfortable when feeding time is calm and predictable. ✨ Jude at a Glance: 🐾 1.5 years old 🐾 Retriever/Lab mix 🐾 Playful, goofy, and high-energy 🐾 Independent (not a Velcro dog) 🐾 Knows sit & crates on command 🐾 Thrives with structure and routine Jude is looking for a home that loves fun over fluff, playtime over "lap time", and a dog with a big personality and a bigger zest for life. If you want a buddy who keeps things exciting and makes every day more fun… Jude is ready to go. 🐕🎉 Jude is crate and leash trained, but will probably need assistance with house training, since he probably has never lived in a home before (and he likes it)! Jude is neutered, current on vaccines, on heartworm preventative, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $250. To adopt Jude, go to www.foreveryoursokc.org/adoption-application to apply.
