***Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time*** We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Meet Blink, a sweet and sensitive 1 year old Lab mix weighing about 40lbs. He’s neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and current on all his preventatives. Blink is still very much a puppy at heart and continues to learn his manners as he grows into the wonderful dog he’s meant to be. Blink loves to play hard and has that fun, bouncy energy you’d expect from a young pup. He reads other dogs’ cues beautifully and enjoys canine friends, though he may bark first in excitement before inviting them to play. He would thrive in a home with another friendly dog to help show him the ropes. Around cats, Blink is friendly but mostly indifferent. He’s been around children and has done well out of his crate, though he hasn’t had much direct playtime with them yet. He has shown no signs of resource guarding or food aggression and shares nicely. He’s also fully housebroken such a big win! While Blink enjoys playtime, he also loves to lounge and relax. When left alone, he’s often happy to nap or entertain himself with toys. He is crate trained and can be crated for up to nine hours if needed, though he can also be left out unsupervised as he typically just settles in and rests. (Just be sure to tuck those shoes away as he sometimes borrows them) Blink is still adjusting to life off the streets and can be very sensitive to the world around him. Walks are new and sometimes scary, and he needs lots of reassurance and occasionally even a lift home when he feels overwhelmed. He startles easily and may run to hide if he’s unsure, so he does best when allowed to approach people on his own terms. Stairs are also a work in progress, and his adorable clumsiness just adds to his charm. Blink is independent but still learning that the world is a safe place. He’ll need a patient, understanding adopter who can gently guide him through his fear based anxiety and celebrate each small victory along the way. With kindness, consistency, and love, Blink is sure to blossom into a loyal, playful, and devoted companion. ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. *** Interested in applying to adopt him?
