BUNDY - Labrador Retriever and Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Ironwood, Michigan

This handsome boy is BUNDY, a 1 year old male who was surrendered to us after his owners found out they were expecting a baby and could not provide for him any longer. We are still learning about Bundy and allowing him to decompress and get comfortable with us on his own terms. So far, he has warmed up to a couple of the staff members and he really is a sweet, gentle young guy. With that being said, he is a little weary of strangers and may bark at them or hide behind his people but it’s just because he’s scared and unsure. The kennel is a bit overwhelming for him but on his walks, he’s a completely different dog! He’s SO happy to be out with his person, smelling all new smells and he’s just so much more relaxed. It makes us happy to see that complete shift in his demeanor and body language. He really just needs someone loving, patient and willing to work with him on his confidence/socialization because he truly is an amazing dog.
