Reuben Shar-Pei & Labrador Retriever Mix Appin, ON

Reuben
9yr old Sharpei/Lab mix

Hi everyone, my name is Reuben! I’m hoping you may be my person or maybe you know someone who could be my person. I’m a good boy who tries really hard to listen, be polite, and do what my foster mom asks. I'm housetrained, super cuddly, and l love to be with my people. I get along with calm, lower energy dogs – and would enjoy having a doggie sibling or two! I’m also good with cats. I have been fostered with older, dog-savvy kids and did well. I enjoy playing with my toys and am very young at heart.

I have some food allergies that make my skin and feet itchy, but my foster mom will share my allergen list with you so you know what I need to avoid. I sometimes lick my paws and need reminders to leave it. I like to spend as much time as I can with my family and would love to have a stay-at-home or work-from-home mom or dad. I will go in my crate when you leave the house but can be vocal so a detached house is best for me.

I like my walks but sometimes I let my nose lead the way and I have to be reminded not to pull. I would love to have a mom or dad who will take me for lots of walks because the activity is good for my body and my brain. I'm always happy to meet new people when I'm out on my walks and I've been very good meeting other dogs as long as they're not grumpy with me. My foster mom says I’m a typical Shar-Pei (I think that means I’m awesome!) and says would do well with someone who has experience with the breed or a similar breed.

Reuben is up to date with vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and neutered. His adoption fee is $600.
