Chocolate Lab/Golden mix looking for a forever home
"Smutty" is looking for a forever home. He's between 15 - 20 months old, good with kids and cats, quite snugglye (some might say clingy even...)

Woman who rescued him writes "I adopted this dog from a somewhat crazy lady in Bradford. She was a back yard breeder who had bred too many dogs. Essentially she did not have the funds to care for them properly or the time either. We have had him for about 6 weeks. He was very under weight when we got him. He was eating horse poo and horse pellets. He has lived outside his whole life, apart from his time here. He is a loyal fella and very sweet. He will lay at your feet or sit on the couch with you for hours. He is for the most part potty trained....He is very food motivated and knows sit and down...but stay is hard because he is afraid to be alone. He is great with my kids and my cats, but doesn't like company, because he is afraid of other people."

His rescuer can't keep him because she doesn't have the time to address his fear and lack of confidence. I'll post a pic as soon as I get one. Anyone who has interest or advice, please feel free to PM me.

1. Now with picture!


This is the handsome young guy that needs a forever home.

That's a young child's arm you see hanging over his back - she was lying back against him - he loves it! Good with kids, cats and other dogs. Looking for someone to treat him like a good Lab should be treated - spoiled with lots of hugs and chew toys.

Please, even if you can't take him yourself, help get word out about him - post him on your facebook page, send an email, tweet him! He's a good boy who just wants someone to love him.

2. Looks like this guy is still waiting for his forever people
We've had a couple of nibbles of interest but nothing seems to be coming through for him. Next stop will be New England All Retriever Rescue where he'll probably be fetching $200 - $300. If you have any interest, please consider giving this boy the love and security he deserves.

Thanks.
