About Pot Roast

Meet Pot Roast—a striking, brindle-coated Lab/Plott Hound mix tipping the scales at 108 lbs. He’s outgoing, funny, and resilient despite some rough luck. Pot Roast should ideally weigh closer to 60–70 lbs, so his new family will need to stick to his weight management plan and help him get healthy. He’s three years young, neutered, current on vaccines, and heartworm negative. Strength comes naturally to him, as does an appetite; if you have treats, you’ll have his attention, so mealtime might double as training time. Pot Roast loves meeting people, but a meet-and-greet is required for all family members—including pets and kids—just to make sure everyone gets along. Don’t let his current size fool you; what he’s really looking for is a forever home and people who will commit for the long haul. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
