Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you. Andrew is a 3-year-old Labrador Retriever mix who came into rescue with his brother after living a sheltered life in a small fenced area. Despite his challenging start—never having walked on a leash or experienced much of the world—Andrew is not aggressive at all. He is shy, submissive, and shows a genuine willingness to learn. Since arriving at the shelter, Andrew has made promising progress, yet the busy shelter environment can only take him so far. He’s searching for a very experienced, compassionate, and patient adopter who can help him reach his true potential. Andrew will require at least a 5-foot fence or equally secure accommodations to keep him safe, as he may be prone to running in fear. Helping him blossom will be a long-term commitment, but each milestone will be rewarding for both you and Andrew on your journey together. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
