About Al

Meet Al! Al is a sweet Labrador Retriever and Hound mix born in late March 2026. Currently around 35 lbs, he’s predicted to grow into a medium-to-large dog. Al and his brothers, Danny and Mr. Beeper, were rescued from the Vernon Parish Shelter just in time and are now in foster care, eagerly seeking their forever homes. While Al takes a moment to warm up to new people, his affectionate nature shines once trust is built. He adores young kids and gets along well with other dogs, though his compatibility with cats is still a mystery. Crate training is a work in progress as he prefers the company of his foster family and four-legged friends. Fortunately, Al seems house trained with no accidents to report. Being a young puppy, Al is full of energy and the classic curiosity that comes with it. He may dig in his heels during walks when unsure but is learning to embrace new experiences. With patience and encouragement, he’ll happily explore the world around him. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who returns love tenfold, Al could be the perfect match for you. Al is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped. He will be heartworm tested once he's old enough. Ready to welcome Al into your home? Click apply to start the adoption process.
