About Damon

Meet Damon, a charming one-year-old male mix of Labrador Retriever and Australian Shepherd. Weighing in around 50 pounds, Damon is not just playful; he also embodies a gentle demeanor. Although he loves to romp around, he isn’t a high-energy dog and is great for a relaxed home. He’s kennel and potty trained, promptly barking to let you know when he needs to go outside. Damon has a wonderful bond with his sister, Brownie. Ideally, they would stay together since they complement each other perfectly—Damon respects Brownie's cues and knows when to take a step back. Both are good with dogs and children, making them suitable for family settings. There’s a sweet moment when they came in from the rain, jumping onto their bed to clean each other. While I’d love to see them adopted as a pair, it's not a strict requirement. There's a reduced adoption fee if they stay together. Could Damon be your new best friend? Ready to fall in love?
