Mellow is a 5-year, 9-month old Labrador Retriever and Australian Shepherd mix with a sturdy build and a loyal streak. His name says a lot—at heart, he’s an affectionate, steady companion who wants to be wherever his person is, from couch to bed to backyard. Mellow thrives on close contact, never missing an opportunity to cuddle or nudge for attention, and he’s not shy with his affection. His communication is clear: he’ll politely bark when it’s time for a walk or when he needs to go out. Active and people-focused, Mellow needs both exercise and human connection. Long walks, games of fetch, and tug-of-war are some of his favorites. He knows basic commands and responds well to positive reinforcement, but he does have a protective streak about his things—he’s happiest with someone patient, experienced, and mindful of his boundaries. Mellow must be the only animal in an adult-only home—he doesn’t get along with cats, dogs, or children. For the right person, though, he’ll be an unwaveringly loyal friend, eager to join in every part of your day. He is neutered and fully vaccinated, and currently waiting for a committed adopter in Kemp, TX. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
