Cattle Dog and Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

When gorgeous Mookie looks into your eyes, it feels like he can see right into your soul. Those big, beautiful eyes show you just how much love this amazing dude is capable of. He loves to make his human happy and he loves to perform. Mookie is very smart and is a great listener, especially if treats are involved! (Same, Mook, same.) He loves to get head scratches and will sit next to you watching the sun rise and just enjoying the silence.

Mookie's foster family has socialized him very well, and he loves being around dogs. He does prefer to be top dog and will assert his dominance as best he can by trying to lead the pack (with zero aggression toward other dogs or around food or water).

He is a super intelligent boy, is treat-motivated, and is learning commands like "Leave it" and "Here" (though ignoring those pesky neighborhood squirrels on walks is still a challenge). He is doing very well with potty training, with just the occasional accident. He is also crate trained and knows that's where he relaxes and sleeps. He loves to take a bone in there, just in case he's done with naptime before his people are. During the day, he will bark to signal that he needs a potty break or to stretch his legs.

Mookie's ideal family would take him on lots of adventures. He loves hikes and car rides, and is his best self when he gets a lot of exercise. He would thrive in a house with a yard and with other dog friend(s) to play chase with and cuddle. Mookie does well with children but needs a home without cats. If you're looking for a gorgeous, goofy boy right out of a storybook, Mookie is your man! <3
