Linus #9 Chocolate Labrador Retriever Mix Killingworth, CT

Linus #9 is a 4.5 year old beautiful 100 lb “silver” Labrador Retriever. If up to him, he’ll play fetch all day long! Inside or outside! Linus is crate trained and house trained. He loves to go on walks but never was trained to heal so he could use a little help perhaps using a gentle leader harness. He plays weekly with other dogs his size at doggy daycare and lived with a mini labradoodle until she recently passed away. He loves to jump to give kisses so no small children and will bark like a crazy man when someone approaches his home, but he’ll end up loving them once they enter. He's all talk! He LOVES to hoard socks & shoes but will never eat them! He NEEDS attention and love otherwise he’s going to explore and get himself into trouble. Linus came to us from a loving home but children are grown and are out of the home and both parents work and he needs more attention. He’s lonely. He may benefit from another dog in the home and a fenced yard for him to run and play fetch in.
