Lincoln & Washington (Bonded Pair) - Labrador Retriever and Hound Dog for Adoption in Chelsea, Alabama

Meet Lincoln & Washington — a bonded pair of brothers who take neighborhood watch very seriously and cuddle time even more seriously. Lincoln's full government name is Lincoln Leroy, which he only hears when he's in trouble. Washington answers to Bubsy, Bubsy Boy, or the sound of a treat bag. (And so you can tell them apart at a glance: Lincoln's the brown one, Washington's the white one.) These two are the last two brothers standing from a nine-puppy winter litter born to Mama Faith — a mama their person rescued on a freezing night down toward Montevallo — and they've been a package deal ever since. Where one goes, the other is already there.

Their daily routine: patrol the property, bark at anything they consider a threat (the threat assessment is generous), chase each other at full speed, play with every toy and stick they can find, throw toys at each other, steal them back, and then circle back in for cuddles. Washington takes a little time to warm up, but once he's in, he's in — rolling over on his back for belly rubs like it was always his idea. Lincoln is a lap dog who flops first and asks questions later, unless he decides it's chase time instead. And both boys are very treat motivated — the fastest way to their hearts runs straight through the snack jar.

Now the fine print, because they'd want you to know: these boys need to be the only two dogs. They're selective and protective of their person — and while they share just fine with each other, they don't share well with other dogs or other animals. No cats — their prey drive is strong, and the cats know it. Kids 12 and up only; little ones don't stand a chance against pure enthusiasm. Their dream home has a fenced yard and room to run, because these boys were built for patrol. They're crate trained, and they walk on a leash — though 'walk' is a strong word, because they pull, so bring your strong arms.

Four years old. Bonded pair, adopted together only. If your house could use two furry heads of security who double as couch companions, Lincoln and Washington are ready to report for duty.
