Bishop Labrador Retriever Mix Memphis, TN

My name is Bishop, and I’m perfect for a family, an active single or an older person. I’m happy being on-the-go or just being a couch potato. Few can resist me when I rest my head and look at them with my puppy dog eyes. I like to be social, but I’m also very appropriate and polite when meeting anyone new. My hobbies are playing with other dogs, games of fetch, and chewing my Nylabones before a nap. Curiosity may have killed the kitty cat, I live for it! I’m a brave boy who is never scared of a new adventure or checking out a new toy or person. Growling is NOT in my vocabulary, but wagging my tail is one of my favorite ways to communicate. I already know how to sit, lie down, stay and politely accept treats. I’m also crate-trained and leash-trained. Please send in your adoption application right away because I’m really excited to find a new family or person just like you!
