Larry Labrador Retriever Mix Warrington, PA

Larry is very affectionate, easy going, calm, sweet and behaves well. He loves to be loved. He is love motivated but he is not a Velcro dog. He will take what he can get then snuggle up on the couch on his own. If you tell him you are done, he seems to understand and lays down. Larry is very trainable. He understood his new name within a few hours and is eager to please for a kiss. I’ve had many dogs over the years and, by far, Larry is the easiest dog to care for. Some other positive traits of Larry are that he doesn’t beg, doesn’t bark (may whine when walking because he wants to play), loves other dogs, walks well (likes to smell everything!), doesn’t chew (he will carry things to his bed like a shoe but won’t chew it), cat friendly, house trained and crate trained (although not necessary). Sometimes he will go in his crate on his own, but I don’t lock it.

Now poor Larry went through quite a rough patch, prior to arriving at Brookline. He was a stray in SC. Shelter workers realized how special he was and took him in, until they could ship him north. When he arrived, he was not that pretty but NOW has a full body of fur. He cleaned up very well, for an old man. He still has a few spots under his belly, neck and elbows which may not grow back completely. He is as cute as can be and, when he looks at you with those big brown eyes, you can’t help but to hug and kiss him. He has learned how to use those eyes to his advantage.

Larry does suffer from allergies. We have the allergies under control but, unfortunately, he will need to remain on Apoquel his entire life. This expense is monthly and approximately $100. Ask your vet for a 58 lb. dog and rewards program for exact cost.

Larry will immediately become a part of any family. A daily walk and a fenced in yard will make life easier for you. I have three dogs and I do not have a fenced in yard. We take several walks throughout the day. Larry loves to explore and, if you don’t have a fence, you may be spending some time untangling leads or running after him (I’m exhausted). He loves to sit outside on our hill and just enjoys being out in the fresh air. Larry loves life.

Please consider bringing this loving, terrific dog into your home. He deserves a forever home!
