Jericho - Retriever and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Atlanta, Georgia

Hi there! My name is Jericho, and my personality and heart are as big as my size.

I'm a very friendly and outgoing guy who absolutely loves meeting new people. Pets, scratches, and especially belly rubs are some of my favorite things in the world. I also really enjoy going for walks and exploring the outdoors. Sniffing new smells and taking in my surroundings makes me one happy dog!

Because I get so excited about life (and people!), I can sometimes be a little too enthusiastic. When I'm feeling playful or when I know treats are involved, I may get a little overly excited and rambunctious. I just haven't quite learned how to channel my excitement appropriately yet. I'm probably best suited for an adopter who has experience with larger, energetic dogs, and who is willing to put in the time to help me succeed. With structure, consistency, and guidance, I have all the potential to become an amazing companion.

If you're looking for a loving, adventurous dog who's eager to learn and ready for someone to invest in him, I bet I am your guy! Come and visit me today!

xo,

Jericho

P.S. I also qualify for Welcome Trial, which means you can take me home for up to 14 days to make sure I'm the perfect fit before making things official. See you soon!

PPS... I also LOVE cheese! ...

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.
