Meet Dodge – A One-Year-Old Labrador Mix Ready to Steal Your Heart!
If you`re looking for a loyal and loving companion, look no further than Dodge! This sweet, one-year-old Labrador mix is a bit shy at first, but with patience and the right environment, he quickly opens up and becomes the affectionate friend you`ve been waiting for. His heart is full of love, and he is ready to share it with a family that will appreciate his gentle nature.
Dodge is a friendly, people-oriented dog, but he’s particularly fond of female canine companions. Whether it’s playing or simply hanging out together, he enjoys the company of other dogs and would do best in a home with a well-matched canine friend. He`s also extremely gentle with his toys – no destructive chewing here! Dodge cherishes his belongings and enjoys playing in a calm, respectful way.
Training Needs & Requirements:
Dodge is still a young dog, and while he’s made great strides in his socialization, he will need some continued training to help him become the best version of himself. Here are a few key things to keep in mind:
Shyness & Socialization: Dodge may take a little time to warm up to new people, especially in unfamiliar environments. Consistent exposure to positive experiences will help him gain confidence, and treats are an excellent motivator to make new interactions feel rewarding. He`ll do best with patient, experienced adopters who understand that trust takes time.
Training & Obedience: As a one-year-old, Dodge is at a perfect age for continued basic obedience training. He responds well to positive reinforcement techniques (especially when treats are involved!). Basic commands like sit, stay, and come will help him feel more secure and allow you to form a stronger bond. Consistency will be key to setting him up for success.
Exercise Needs: Dodge is an active and playful dog, so regular exercise is essential to keep him healthy and happy. Daily walks, play sessions, and perhaps some light agility work would help him burn off his energy and stimulate his mind.
Adult-Only Home: Dodge is best suited for an adult-only home where he can receive the calm, structured environment he needs. While he’s a sweet boy, he might be overwhelmed by the noise and unpredictability of young children, so an adult-only household or one with older, respectful children would be ideal.

We require potential adopters to fill out an pre-adoption application. If that application is approved, the dog/cat must be spayed/neutered before it leaves our shelter (if not already done). If it is a puppy under 4 months old, we allow it to go home with the adopters under a foster care agreement until it is old enough to be returned for spay/neuter. Kittens are allowed to leave before spay/neuter is done, but they must be done within a certain time frame.
Fees: Dogs/puppies range from $150-300, depending on if they came in already spayed/neutered or if we paid to have that done.
Cats range from $80 - $140, though we often have deals on older cats or cats that have been there a long time.
Kittens are $60 with $25 refunded once it has been spayed/neutered.
All adoptions include at least the first vaccination, deworming, de-fleaing, microchip ID, and 6 weeks of pet insurance.
