male, large, young
DESCRIPTION
Orion is a cosmically good-looking lad! He enjoys going for sniff walks and although he's a strong dog, he only pulls mildly on leash. He quickly checks in with his person when prompted. During one-on-one time, he likes to paw at his person for attention. He is food motivated and already knows Sit. He will benefit from continued reward-based training as he works on his basic manners and leash walking skills. He's been able to meet other dogs and tends to display neutral body language after initial greetings. Orion hasn't shown much interest in toys yet but that may change once he's settled into his new home and bonded with his family.
Orion is a large sized mixed breed boy, approximately 18 months old and currently weighs 66 pounds.
Orion has received his full-service vet care, vaccines, pre-adoption behavior support, microchip and will be neutered. To meet this dog or any of our other ready-for-adoption dogs, visit Gigi's during our open adoption hours listed on www.gigis.org.

ABOUT: LABRADOR RETRIEVER DOG BREED
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.
