Tug is a 1-year-old Lab/German Shepherd mix with a smart, social, and outgoing personality. He's notably the calmer of his littermates. Raised with plenty of human contact, Tug thrives on attention and forms strong bonds with people. He enjoys being handled, keeps a gentle demeanor, and has a soft coat. Staff at the rescue describe him as attentive—he sits, makes great eye contact, and picks up new things quickly. Tug is progressing well with his leash training and has already developed solid house training habits, preferring to go to the bathroom outside. He fits right in with his group of six puppies and has good recall off-leash. Tug loves treats and is likely to be a strong swimmer thanks to his webbed feet. This young dog does well around children (preferably 8 or older) and other dogs. He's best matched with adopters able to spend quality time with him, as he bonds closely and still needs guidance as he matures. Tug is available for adoption in Texas and can also be transported to a number of northern states. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
