About Slick Needs A Forever

Slick is a sharp-looking Lab mix looking for a steady retirement home. Surrendered after his senior owners could no longer care for him, he’s learned a thing or two about making humans happy. Slick has a real weakness for stuffed toys and gets along well with both dogs and cats. He is fully house and crate trained, neutered, and current on his vaccinations. His next home needs to be calm: no children, please. The adoption requires a securely fenced yard, and all household pets will need to meet him first. A home visit within an hour of Birmingham, MI, is part of the process, as is an obedience class for dogs over one year old. Slick would make a laid-back, loyal companion for someone wanting a low-drama, four-legged shadow. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
