Meet Howie! This happy, gentle Lab-Ridgeback-Pit mix has so much love to give. At 6 years old, he has transformed from a neglected shelter dog into a snuggly companion, thanks to dedicated care and good salmon-based food. Howie adores affection and will happily share your bed, making him a perfect lap dog. He enjoys walks and outings but may thrive best as the only dog or with a submissive female, as he gets along well with some dogs but not all. After waiting a long time for a forever home, Howie is looking for a loving family by the end of the year. Currently in Ventura, CA, he weighs around 55-60 lbs. and is ready to be transported to you in Oregon. Consider opening your heart and home to this sweet boy!','What are you waiting for? Apply today!
