Tree

Tree is a 1-year-old, 50-lb male Black Lab mix (fun-size edition) with a gentle soul and an easygoing, observant nature. He may be small for a Lab, but he has an impressive amount of love packed into him. Compact, adorable, and easy to have around, Tree is fully house trained and crate trained—a truly respectful king—and a certified snuggle bug who is low maintenance and happy to go with the flow.<br/>Tree is a sweet, sensitive boy who shines as a quiet companion. He came up from an overcrowded Kentucky shelter and has settled beautifully into a calm, steady rhythm in his foster home. He doesn’t need constant activity to be a great presence; instead, he enjoys being near his people, following them from room to room, and soaking up the day at his own relaxed pace. His favorite things include leisurely neighborhood strolls, sunbathing in the yard like it’s his full-time job, watching planes drift across the sky, enjoying snacks (he’s very food motivated), and claiming cozy spots to lounge with quiet company.<br/>Socially, Tree coexists well with other dogs but prefers to keep interactions low-key. He’s not much of a wrestler or chaser and would rather observe than participate in rowdy play. His ideal home is a calm, easygoing environment with people who appreciate a lower-energy dog and want a steady, gentle companion instead of a high-octane playmate. If you’re looking for a sweet, low-maintenance dog with a peaceful presence, Tree just might be your guy.<br/>If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application .
