Meet Cotton!
This silky white Labrador mix is as soft as can be!
Cotton is your stereotypical Labrador Retriever: he's got a mountain of energy, he's raring to go, and he needs constant cuddles. All that fluff needs pets, scratches, and big hugs!
Cotton will require an experienced dog-owning family, older children only, a lot of patience, and confidence building.
Cotton is a big boy and wants to use his big body to play, have fun, and run around! So he would do best in a household with no small or young children. If you do have young children please exercise patience with them and Cotton, slow introductions and gradual exposure.
In return you will be adopting the most melty, heart-gushing, kisses giving, big ole goofball of a Lab you'll ever meet!
Once Cotton feels safe and comfortable, he really comes into his own self and personality! He loves cuddling up, giving kisses, lots of playtime with other dogs, and relaxing!
Cotton is a lover that'll be stuck to you like velcro! Seriously, you might have some trouble trying to pull him off you! This big loverboy has so much love to give and is looking for a family to give him all that love back!
Hurry up and fill out that application! Cotton will be a howlin' good companion for you and your family!

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...
