About SILAS McGRUDER

Meet SILAS McGRUDER, a charming young Black Labrador with unforgettable ice blue eyes. Abandoning a tough past with 40 other dogs outdoors, he was rescued and is now relishing the comforts of indoor life, especially cozying up on a couch for a nap. SILAS is roughly 12 to 18 months old and weighs 23 pounds, making him an ideal companion for someone seeking an active yet gentle friend. He’s neutered, vaccinated, and ready to brighten your home. In his foster home, SILAS has shown he’s great with other dogs and likely gets along with older children, though his shyness means he might be best with those who understand his temperament.
