Sushi - Labrador Retriever and Rottweiler Dog for Adoption in Red Bluff, California

Sushi is a handsome male 1 year old Lab mix who is looking for a special home where he can enjoy the good things in life while taking it a little easy.

Sushi came to us with a noticeable limp in his left hind leg and is currently on strict exercise restriction while his leg heals and is further evaluated. For now, that means no running, roughhousing, or play-yard time—just short, calm, leashed walks. His care team is evaluating the possibility of a ligament or meniscus injury, so his new family will need to be committed to following his exercise restrictions and veterinary recommendations.

Sushi may always have some degree of arthritis in his affected leg, but that doesn’t mean he can’t have a happy, comfortable life! Arthritis can often be managed with appropriate veterinary care, including medications such as NSAIDs when prescribed and joint-support supplements. Some supplements we like include Cosequin, Dasuquin, SynoviG4, and Movoflex.

What Sushi needs most is a patient family who understands that his body needs a little extra TLC. In return, this sweet Lab mix has the opportunity to be a wonderful companion and a cherished member of the family.

If you’re looking for a dog who deserves a little patience, a lot of love, and a comfortable couch to call his own, Sushi may be your guy.
