Personality | Swiper has a sweet, goofy personality. He is friendly with everyone he has met and loves attention! When foster mom comes home, he greets her with one of his many toys, he is such a good boy
Story |
Other Dogs | Swiper enjoys playing with other dogs & would be great as a 2nd dog
Cats |
Children | At a recent event, Swiper was taking his toy ball and dropping it at the feet of older kids hoping they would throw it for him! He does very well with kids 12+ and is very gentle when taking treats from younger kids when supervised. He can get excited and jumps a bit so tiny kiddos need supervision when playing with him.
Training | Swiper knows how to sit on command and is very eager to learn more. He is very well behaved and responds nicely to attention.
Leash | LOVES going on his walks. He uses a harness, which helps him not pull
Activity Level | Fun! This sweet boy is ready to play with toys, dogs, people, he is just a really good boy!
From his foster: Swiper is such a handsome dog and full of play. He's a lab through and through. He loves balls, squeaker toys, playing tug of war and butt scratches. He's food motivated and is learning really fast. He's also eager to please which makes training so much easier. I get the feeling he already knows a lot. He does really well on walks and doesn't pull and lunge very much. He will walk to end of the leash but with correction a few times, he gets better. He's done really well in his crate. He hasn't barked at all at night or even to wake me up in the morning. He barks when he's outside and a neighbor dog starts barking. But he's not reactive, just answering a 'call out' from another dog:). He didn't do anything when the Amazon delivery guy rang the doorbell and he just watches when people walk by on the sidewalk in front of the house. Did I mention he's so handsome. His face should be in pictures.
Health Notes | Swiper is heartworm positive, but treatment is very successful and completely manageable with all the proper education. MHLRM will cover the expense of treatment at one of our approved veterinarians. Heartworm positive dogs go on to live happy, normal lives after treatment and rarely experience long-term side effects. Don't let this stop you from adopting Swiper.
Thank you! |

Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet & greets by appointment to approved applicants only. To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process.
Please know | Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption.
We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page!
We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved. Your application is good for 90 days from the time of approval for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle.
