Robert's Story

Robert is a total goof that's all legs, love, and laughter! This 8 month old lab mix may seem a little derpy as he's growing into those long legs of his but he's actually quite intelligent! Robert catches on to things quickly and has already learned a handful of commands including "sit", "(lay) down", "shake", "spin", "wait" (used before meals and treats, "ok" to release), and "gentle" when taking treats. He also knows "come" and is working on mastering his recall. He's working on "stay" and learning that the command "enough" during play means we're done. He can be quite mouthy when he wants to play, so he's learning to use his "off switch" when it becomes too much. Robert lives with other dogs (big and small) in his foster home as well as a couple cats and gets along with everybody. He's a snuggler...and a bed hog! He'll take up the entire bottom half of the bed all night long and insist he's the only reason your feet are warm! Robert is crate trained and knows what "kennel up" means. He's (mostly) house trained and will stand by the door when he needs to go out if you catch his cue in time. Like your typical lab, he loves water and playing fetch! Robert has the best puppy dog eyes and truly wants to please his humans. He's going to make someone very lucky!<br/><br/>Robert's adoption fee is $425 plus MN tax which covers his neuter, vaccinations appropriate at the time of adoption, microchip and any additional medical care he may have needed while in the rescue's care. <br/>We are a foster based rescue, we do not house dogs at a facility. Age and breed are NLR's best guess as we often don't know who or what mom and dad are. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.northernlakesrescue.org
