About Forest

Forest is a 6-month-old Lab mix with a gentle heart and a mellow, easygoing personality. He thrives on simply being near his people, happy to tag along for a walk, hike, or a drive, but just as content to sprawl on the couch for quiet time at home. Toys and belly rubs light him up, but he’s generally a low-key companion who easily settles in and rarely makes noise. Forest is fully housetrained and adapts well to peaceful routines. While he’s initially shy meeting new folks, he relaxes quickly and builds strong bonds. He’s friendly with children, adults, and seniors, and he gets along with both dogs and cats. That makes him a great fit for many different families or households, especially those that appreciate calm, loyal pets. His ideal match is someone who values his sweet, mellow spirit and can promise him a steady stream of quiet moments and gentle affection. Forest is up to date on vaccinations and has been neutered.
