About Dabdoob

Dabdoob is a handsome, nearly two-year-old hound and Labrador mix with a striking black and tan coat. About 53 lbs, he blends playful energy with calm loyalty. Dabdoob loves people, gets along well with kids and other dogs, and thrives in homes where people enjoy his spirited personality. He’s kennel trained, walks well on leash, and is always up for attention or a good cuddle. Fetch is Dabdoob’s true passion—he lights up chasing after a ball in the yard and will happily play as long as you’re willing. He’s not destructive, shows no food aggression, and settles easily, even after barking at the doorbell. Car rides in a crate aren’t a problem for him. Dabdoob is looking for a family with a fenced yard who appreciates an enthusiastic, affectionate companion. Apartment living won’t suit his needs, and he hasn’t been tested with cats. If you want a dog who will spend hours playing and then happily relax by your side, Dabdoob might be exactly who you’re looking for. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
