About Laird

Meet Laird! This 11-month-old, 43-pound sweetheart has the perfect blend of playful puppy energy and expert snuggling skills. He came to us from Texas after his previous owner could no longer care for him and is now ready for a family that will give him all the love he deserves. Laird is friendly, gets along great with kids, and enjoys meeting his fellow dogs. He might greet them with a bit of submissiveness at first, but once he's comfortable, he’s all about playtime. His adorable habit of sitting on top of his canine friends adds to his charm. With a solid grasp of commands like sit, off, and come, he walks beautifully on a leash and is a quiet companion. Laird is already potty trained, enjoys his meals twice a day, and adjusts well to various routines. He makes an excellent choice for first-time dog owners. When not frolicking outside, this little guy loves to snuggle up next to someone, be it a human or canine friend. He’s known for giving face kisses and joyfully carrying slippers around the house. Think of him as the mini golden retriever of your dreams, always ready for life’s adventures. Laird is currently awaiting his fecal test results but is reported to be in good health otherwise. If you’re seeking an affectionate, friendly, and adaptable young dog who will bring joy and little bunny hops into your home, Laird might just be the one for you. What are you waiting for?
