I’m playful and silly and so much fun! Once you’re my people, my tail wags in pure joy whenever I am with you. I can’t wait to be your constant companion and best friend. Let’s get together and start making memories. I’m ready!<br/><br/>I’m a handsome, 2-year-old, 55-pound Lab mix, with the prettiest smile, gentle brown eyes, shiny fur, and a big, happy, delightful personality. I was crate trained in my previous home and I was making progress at housebreaking, too. Please stay patient with me as I get settled in, as an adjustment period in a new home is normal. If you keep me on a schedule and get me outside for plenty of breaks, it will help to set me up for success. I first came to Wayside as a wee pup with my whole beautiful life ahead of me. I was quickly adopted, and I’ve had a good life. I know what it means to be a beloved member of a family. Sadly, my family life went through changes, another new baby was on the way, there was just too much going on. I understand, but I still miss them. Lucky for me, I have another chance to find a new family to love. I hope that’s you!<br/><br/>In my previous home, I happily slept in my crate at night, and I successfully lived with men, women, kids, cats, and small dogs. I felt sort of unsure around the 1-year-old. Young kids can be scary at times, what with their loud voices and quick, unpredictable movements. The big shelter felt scary to me when I got here, too. It was loud and lonely, with so many new people to meet. It can be somewhat of an overwhelming feeling for a family dog to end up in a shelter. I hope to find a home where I can have a routine that I can count on and a family that I can feel comfortable and relaxed with.<br/><br/>I’m such a fun and silly character! I’ll sit quietly for hours as you lovingly scratch my neck as I lean in as close as possible to you for maximum affection. That’s the way to my heart. I hope you will invite me up on the couch, so that I can curl up next to you for snuggles every day. I love playing with all of my toys, too. And I never turn down a delicious treat, which I promise to take gently from your hand. I’m happy to come when I’m called. I’m just such a great dog and a wonderful friend who simply wants to be by your side. I will thrive in a positive, calm environment with plenty of praise when I’m a good boy.<br/><br/>I’m young, active, and athletic, so I will need daily exercise to help keep me looking and feeling my best. I’d love a fenced yard to run and play in! I like going for walks, too. I use a harness to help me stay focused and by your side. I’ve enjoyed participating in doggie playgroups here at Wayside. It takes me a little extra time to warm up and feel comfortable around other dogs, but once I get acclimated, I play well with polite dogs who will give me space when I need it. If you have other dogs, I will need to meet them before we go home together, to make sure that we’re a great match. Wayside recommends that I meet any kids under 10 as well. Hopefully we’ll all be comfortable with each other from the start. I can’t live in an apartment setting. I just need the peace, familiarity, and predictability of a house where I won’t be constantly running into strange people and dogs. <br/><br/>Mostly, I’m simply looking for a home and family with kind people who enjoy spending time with me. I want to be an important part of your life, and I want to feel comfortable just being my goofy self. I know what it means to love you unconditionally. And I know what being part of a family is all about. Let me share my happy zest for life with you. Let me show you how special you are. That’s what I do best.<br/><br/>Love, Pine
