Pending: Fowler, a 2-3 year old Male Chocolate Labrador, who is looking for his forever home.
Here is an UPDATED bio from his foster family:
"Fowler is doing well, and learning so much! This handsome fella is super loving and affectionate, and really enjoys his humans. He's energetic, athletic, big and strong. Fowler is a Lab that doesn't quite understand his own size & strength, and we're working on teaching him appropriate behaviors. He plays like a 6 month old puppy, in a full sized body. Fowler has been living with a second foster, Ash, for the last few weeks, and really has come in to his own. He loves playing with other dogs, has learned to temper his excitement for humans, and re-directs it with the other dog. He has grown out of a lot of his 'puppy' behaviors, is far less mouthy and jumpy. Fowler is very smart, with a strong drive for direction & work. He's getting better at heeling and walking on leash, knows 'sit', and is house trained, using a dog door. Fowler loves his naps, loves to chase a ball, and gets along with other dogs. We have no idea how he'd be with smaller animals, and while he'd love children, he doesn't know his own strength and could easily knock a little one down in his excitement. Fowler is eating well, and while he occasionally looks to counter surf, he's takes correction easily.
We have made progress on the crating Fowler. We have found the crate he cannot bust out of, and use high value treats to lure him in. We continue to make the crate a 'safe place', and while he is not happy to be crated he has made drastic improvements. He still gets excited and vocal when he's crated, but he's also learning to relax in it, and we work on his being calm before releasing him. He really has come a long way!
Fowler will need a strong leader to continue training and providing a safe, secure environment. He wants to please, and would do great with professional training. Fowler really is a big love, wanting to snuggle with people and be near them. Fowler will make an amazing companion for a family committed to continuing his training, and providing a happy, active life. "
