Retriever, Black Labrador / Shepherd

Male
Age
14 Years and 2 Months old
Blackey may be a senior, and despite his beginnings, he holds no grudges—just gentleness, sweetness, and hope for a better tomorrow.
He’s a low-maintenance companion who adores belly rubs, naps, and rolling happily on a soft surfaces just to amuse himself!
Blackey gets along beautifully with calm dogs and would do best in a peaceful home with no young kids. He’s sensitive to loud noises like storms/firecrackers, but responds wonderfully to soft calm voices and gentle love.
He doesn’t need much—just a calm, loving home where he can feel safe and cherished in his golden years.

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
