Blue - Labradoodle Dog for Adoption in Milton, Delaware

Dog Name: Blue

Breed: Lab mix

Sex: male

Age: 4 years

Weight: 66 pounds

Medical Needs: Blue has anxiety and takes Clomicalm to help.

Housebroken: Yes.

Crate Trained: No. He will not enter a crate willingly and gets anxious when led into one. His anxiety manifests in incessant barking when left alone, but if he's loose, he will pace, run from door to window, and scratch at the door. A crate will ensure he cannot harm himself.

Good in the Car: Yes, he loves his car rides.

Good on a Leash: Yes, but he can pull if he sees something he wants.

Energy Level: High - he is a lab mix after all.

Need a Fenced-in Yard: Yes.

Dog Friendly: Slow intros required. Blue isn't the kind of dog that likes it when another dog comes on too strong. He prefers a slow and steady build-up to friendship.

If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive home?

No, he does not need another dog. I think he is a one-dog-per-home kind of dude.

Cat Friendly: No.

Kid Friendly: Yes, with proper, slow introductions.

If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with?

Blue will do best with kids 10 years and older or children dog-savvy enough to give him his space and not get too hyper with him.

Traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Like most labs, Blue is a pure Velcro dog and is always down for the 24/7 cuddling. He needs to be by your side and likely will not run away if he somehow manages to get loose, though he IS a lab, so...better leashed than lost. He loves to play catch in the yard, or otherwise do anything engaging that requires the presence of his people. Blue really, really loves his people.
