About Sirius

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Meet Sirius – your new adventure buddy! Sirius is a lively, 4-year-old black Labrador Retriever mix who's ready to bring some serious joy (and tail wags) to your life! Handsome, goofy, and full of energy, Sirius is searching for an active home where he can really stretch his legs, chase after balls (he's almost mastered bringing them back!), and soak up all the fresh air and sunshine he can get. This guy is far from a couch potato—he would much rather be out exploring the yard, trotting along a trail, or showing off his excellent leash manners, especially when sporting his preferred walking gear (he’s got his standards, after all). After a day filled with adventures, Sirius is happy to chill out with a favorite chew toy or gnaw on a tasty natural chew. Sirius loves meeting new people, although he appreciates being allowed to approach at his own pace since surprises are not his style (and really, who likes to be startled?). He generally does well with other dogs and would thrive with playful, confident companions who aren’t fazed by his bouncy greetings and enthusiastic puppy energy. If you’re on the lookout for a loyal sidekick who’s always up for outdoor fun and will reward you with tail wags, goofy grins, and perhaps a slobbery tennis ball or two, Sirius might just be your star. Extra points if you have a yard, love to play fetch (even if Sirius thinks it’s a one-way game for now), and don't mind some black fur showing up on your hiking gear. Fun fact: Sirius was born April 15th, making him an Aries—the star sign known for energy, playfulness, and being a natural explorer! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
