About Watson

Watson is a loyal and affectionate 7-year-old Silver Labrador. He’s a big-hearted companion who thrives on attention and is wonderful with kids. Whether you’re reading on the couch or busy with work, he’ll be right by your side, ready for a cuddle. This loving dog enjoys playing fetch and will keep bringing the ball back as long as you keep tossing it. He would thrive in an active home with a yard where he can run around and play, preferably with another friendly dog around for company. Watson does have a few special dietary needs. He is allergic to chicken and turkey, so he requires a food plan that strictly avoids these. He does well on Pure Vita Salmon and Peas Entrée, and all treats should adhere to this diet. Watson does experience some separation anxiety and cannot be crated, so he would do best in a home where someone is frequently present. He isn’t a fan of chickens, cats, or bunnies, so a pet-free environment would suit him better. Watson is neutered, vaccinated, healthy, and eagerly awaits his forever family.
