March

UPDATE:<br/>March was adopted and in a home for a month. The couple who had March split up and neither could keep March. So, March was a casualty of the separation and ended up back at the shelter through no fault of his own. <br/>March was described as playful, smart, and listens well. He is still a very young dog and will need plenty of exercise to keep both him and you happy. He is crazy about fetching and will drop the ball at your feet so you can throw it again, and again, and again. Great way to get him lots of exercise along with some walks. He is a high energy dog, but I have found he mellows out nicely after he has had a chance to burn off the pent-up energy from spending all the time in his kennel.<br/>His owners told us that March is both housetrained and crate trained. He was in a home with a cat and was aggressive with it so probably no cats.<br/>March certainly deserves a 2nd chance. Please don’t be put off by March having been returned. He is a terrific dog that has had people fail him.<br/><br/><br/>Give this boy a chance and I am certain he will march right into your heart and home. ? He is a Labrador Retriever mix but certainly is more Lab than anything else. He is here at the shelter like the majority of our dogs because he was abandoned by his owner. We believe he is around 1 year old and weighs 41 lbs. A little on the small side but maybe with a chance to grow a little more.<br/><br/>So, without getting him out of his kennel, you can get the best look at him by checking out his video on Petfinder. Watch him outside, in the sunshine, and off leash in our exercise yard. See for yourself what a handsome boy he is. You will also see him doing what he likes to do most. Playing with tennis balls! You would expect that from a Retriever and he doesn’t disappoint. He will keep chasing them down and return them until your arm gets tired. ?Great exercise for him when you don’t have time for a long walk.<br/><br/>People usually want to know if a dog is house trained. Can’t say for certain with March but all our dogs were in someone’s home and with all likelihood, have had at least some training. Just please be patient and give him a couple of weeks to adjust to a new home and routine. I walked March on just a slip lead, and he was strong on it. A harness would be very helpful while you train him, and a leash and harness would be provided to you at the time of adoption. Someone has already taught him the basic commands of sit, down, stay, comes when called, and takes treats gently from your fingers. Particularly nice with kids in the home. I would describe his energy level as medium to high. Still a young dog at 1 year old.<br/>If you already have a dog(s) in your home, there will be a meet & greet at the shelter.<br/><br/>March is friendly, affectionate, outgoing, and is going to make for a terrific family dog. But, like all our dogs, March needs some help. Someone who has seen his pictures and video and decided to check him out. Someone to give him his chance to shine. I am hoping that someone is you. I believe he will fit the bill for what you are looking for in a young and loving forever companion.
