About Deacon

Deacon is a charismatic 3.5-year-old Black Lab mix, embodying the classic Lab spirit you're probably seeking. His sleek black coat and energetic personality make him a delightful companion for anyone looking for fun. Deacon spent over a year in a Texas shelter as their longest resident, until he got a second chance and was transported to Iowa, where he's now eager to find his forever home. This boy thrives on playtime, especially with dogs that can match his size and enthusiasm. While he may need a proper introduction to new canine friends, his playful nature rapidly emerges once he senses the energy is right. Deacon is also quite intelligent; he already knows how to sit and lie down, and he's always thrilled to learn, particularly when there's fun involved. His love for car rides and water makes him an ideal partner for outdoor adventures. Though he might be a bit shy around new people, especially men, a toy or a handful of treats can help him warm up quickly. Before long, you’ll find him leaning into you, craving affection and those beloved ear scratches. Deacon is both potty-trained and crate-trained, making him an effortless addition to any home, especially with older children who can respect his boundaries. Ready to leave behind his past as a stray, Deacon craves the warmth and security of a family. This dog is not just a pet; he’s a loyal companion waiting to share his love and adventures. If you're looking for a buddy to brighten your days, Deacon could be your perfect match!
