Obi - Labrador Retriever and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in New York, New York

Obi is what we lovingly call a gentle giant, and he has been waiting much longer than he should for someone to finally take him home. This big, handsome boy has completely captured the hearts of the staff and volunteers who know him best, and he has become a familiar, beloved presence around the shelter.
One of Obi's favorite things to do is wander through the offices to say hello, making his quiet little rounds like he works here too. Those visits always brighten our day. He is playful, incredibly sweet, and happiest when he is spending time with his people. Obi enjoys a good chew toy, a cozy place to relax, and he is absolutely convinced that he belongs in someone's lap. Truthfully, none of us have the heart to argue with him.
During his time in foster, Obi showed just how loving and devoted he can be. His foster family described him as a champion cuddler who simply wants to be close and soak up affection.
Now in his senior years, Obi is not asking for much. Just a soft place to rest, familiar faces to love, and someone willing to finally choose him after all this time. He would do best in a home with older children and as the only dog. Obi is not a fan of cats, but he has so much love left to give. We hope someone will see the wonderful companion he is and give this very good boy the home he has been patiently waiting for.
If this animal is located at our Manhattan Adoption Center, head in to meet them and see if you are a match! We are a same-day adoption center, and an application does not put you on a list or hold an animal for you. If they are in Wantagh or in a foster home, please submit an online application and our team will reach out to further discuss the adoption process. Prior to adoption, all of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and given their age-appropriate vaccines.

The Labrador Retriever is a popular and versatile dog breed known for its friendly demeanor and high intelligence. These dogs are often used as guide dogs for the visually impaired, search and rescue dogs, and excellent family pets. Labradors are known for their great sense of smell, strong build, and love of water, making them exceptional hunters and swimmers. With their loyal and loving nature, Labradors have rightfully earned their reputation as one of the most beloved dog breeds in the world.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
