Rivet (with video) - American Staffordshire Terrier and Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Lucedale, Mississippi

Rivet is a sweet and somewhat cautious puppy. While his siblings go into everything head first, he takes things a little more cautiously...BUT, if you have treats in your hand, he will follow you to the ends of the earth.

Rivet is very treat motivated, and already at 4 months old will sit and even lie down to get a treat. He loves toys and doesn't know a dog stranger. All dogs are his friends.

Rivet weighs around 23 bs as of 9/7 and is a little over 4 months old. He is still with his mom and 1 other sibling. His mom is a great example for him, he has had several other playmates besides his siblings, so he does well socially with other dogs.

Rivet is estimated to be large dog as an adult, likely in the 60 lb range. He is smart and has a sweet disposition.

Rivet is fully vetted with 4 puppy vaccinations, neutered, rabies, microchipped and he is on monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention.

This is an Out Of Town listing, we transport near the city on this listing.
His adoption fee is $400 and this includes transport.
(Our next available transport will meet adopters on 10/3)
