Hi! My name is Ray. I am a super loving and playful, 2 ½ year-old, neutered male, Lab mix! I am very smart, very silly, and very affectionate. My family is moving to a smaller house in another part of the country, and wants to find a new, loving home for me.
Things to know about me...I absolutely love chasing Frisbees! I can run and play all day, if you like! I love going for walks and runs, being petted (belly rubs and neck scratches are the best!), playing at the dog park, and cuddling up for a nice, long snooze.
My mom says I’m really smart and would be a great agility dog because I learn so quickly. I know where I’m allowed to go in the house and where it's "a doggy free zone." I love going for car rides and I’m happily trained to an Invisible Fence. I do a lot of very playful and silly things! I will do anything to catch a Frisbee including sliding across the yard on my stomach! I’m great with other dogs. In fact the neighbor dogs always visit me when they escape from their yards! I love mouth wrestling with them and taking turns chasing each other. I’m not good with birds and small animals because I have a very strong prey instinct.
I am being clicker trained for loose-lead walking and am learning all sorts of commands like Sit, Down, Leave It, Come, and Stay. In the past, I have been very scared of strangers and very young kids, so my family is using the clicker training to retrain me into seeing that strangers are a positive thing. I'm getting more relaxed, but fears like these take time to get over, so I am looking for a great new adopter who will continue this process, and be patient and understanding. I get along very well with elementary-age and teenage kids!!
My ideal home is with someone who is energetic and would like a companion. I would love a home with a friendly, playful dog, and where jogs, hikes, and outdoor play will be a part of my day.. I have a fun-loving and happy personality, and hope for a family with the same! I also hope to be taken to dog training and agility classes, as I am very smart and definitely enjoy learning! I am very unhappy in a crate, but since I am housebroken and not destructive when left alone, there is really no need for me to be in a crate...whew!!
If you think you might like to adopt me, please fill out an adoption application and the rescue folks will pass it on to my mom. She'll be in touch!!
