About Bishop

Wags rescued Bishop, a striking 2-year-old black Labrador Retriever, from the local shelter after nobody came to claim him. He shines as a family dog—wonderful with children and happiest when he’s included on walks. He’s not a match for homes with chickens or cats; these animals just excite him too much, and he will chase them. Bishop knows how to settle indoors and is both house and crate trained. He walks nicely on leash and enjoys exploring his surroundings. Bishop is now neutered, heartworm negative, and his vaccinations are up to date. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful companion with solid manners, Bishop might be your next best friend. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
