MITCH's Story

EVERYONE LOVES THIS BOY!<br/><br/><br/>Sweet Mitch came to us from 29 Palms with his sister, and while she has already found her forever home, this handsome 6-year-old Lab is still waiting for his turn.<br/><br/>Mitch has so much love to give. He knows sit, down, and speak, is house trained, and is working on putting on a little healthy weight.<br/><br/>He can be a bit of a kennel comedian—he barks because he REALLY wants to be with people. But once hes out of his kennel and hanging around the office? Total opposite. This boy settles right in and basically sleeps the whole time.<br/><br/>And when you sit down on the floor? Forget it. Mitch is coming straight into your lap. He is a HUGE cuddle bug who just wants to be close to his people. <br/><br/>Here is his report from our volunteer that brought him to her office for the day!<br/><br/>"Mitch was an absolute star at the office today! Hes been nicknamed Nemo by my coworkers because of his small ear and the fact he was always up for an adventure and explore! He helped pack up some samples in our lab, helped out botanists protect our rare plants against bunnies and rodents by laying his claim out in our gardens (he peed on some good spots for us ) and he took his duty very seriously as chief officer of snuggles cuddles and kisses to everyone coming in and working in our building. During a very casual meeting I had we were on the floor (as meetings ought to be had) and he just immediately tucked his head under my chin snuggled in and started napping. Everyone was a big fan! He had no accidents inside and had very happy tappy feet to tell me when he needed out. There was no barking only happy/impatient whines when we were getting his leash on. Hes a bit strong on the leash when you first get him out and hes excited but calms down after a bit and some correction. One of my coworkers kids came by and he was great with them didn't try and jump just gave happy wiggles and tried to get some pets but kept looking and checking with me that he could continue to interact. He was very good at sit and lie down...when food was shown but recall was pretty good overall even when food wasn't offered! He is gonna be an amazing snuggle bug for someone and I'm sure hell be nabbed up pretty quick once people meet him!"

EVERYONE LOVES THIS BOY!


Sweet Mitch came to us from 29 Palms with his sister, and while she has already found her forever home, this handsome 6-year-old Lab is still waiting for his turn.

Mitch has so much love to give. He knows sit, down, and speak, is house trained, and is working on putting on a little healthy weight.

He can be a bit of a kennel comedian—he barks because he REALLY wants to be with people. But once hes out of his kennel and hanging around the office? Total opposite. This boy settles right in and basically sleeps the whole time.

And when you sit down on the floor? Forget it. Mitch is coming straight into your lap. He is a HUGE cuddle bug who just wants to be close to his people.

Here is his report from our volunteer that brought him to her office for the day!

If you do not have a fenced in yard, please submit a detailed exercise plan. If you have other pets, it is a requirement to schedule an interaction to make sure that they get along.
