Meet Paddy, a 6-year-old, 41-lb Labrador Retriever who is a shy and sweet senior who once had a home - and a family of 6 years. When they moved away, Paddy was left behind and is now trying to make sense of it all. This sweetheart is equal parts cuddle bug and character. He loves nothing more than curling up on the couch for a good nap, but he's also got a playful, spirited side that keeps things fun. With his great temperament and affectionate nature, he quickly makes himself right at home. He's got a big personality, especially outside-squirrels and bunnies are his top priority, and he can get pretty excited when he spots them on walks. And if there's food around, don't be surprised if he sneaks a peek by putting his paws up on the counter-he's curious and likes to be part of whatever's going on. We were initially told he may not do well with other dogs, but in our experience, he hasn't shown any reactivity on walks and often doesn't pay other dogs much attention at all. That said, we haven't tested him in close interactions, so slow and thoughtful introductions would be the best approach. He'd do best with someone who can embrace his enthusiasm and continue reinforcing good manners. In return, you'll get a loving, loyal companion who brings both snuggles and personality into your home. Let's help this deserving boy find his way home again. Paddy is being fostered in Bloomfield, NJ. and his adoption fee is $550. To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals. For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible. We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal."
