2/12/24 - Hi everyone! Gunnar here with an update! I’m slowly adjusting to my new life. I still have trouble with the sunlight coming through the windows and creating shadows. My foster parents help me by keeping the shades down when it’s sunny outside. If I get anxious they give me a lick or snuffle mat or a frozen Kong with peanut butter to distract me! At night sometimes the outside lights still bother me so foster mom takes me out on a leash. The vet gave me medicine to take everyday to help me while I adjust. I’m not a fan of hard floors so foster dad put rugs down so I can walk around the house! Even the vet put down extra rugs for me! I love living in a house! I’m potty trained and I don’t get into things that I’m not supposed to. I don’t use a crate because it was too scary. My foster family says I don’t need one because I’m good at night and when they go away for a few hours. I just hang out with the dog who lives here. I love people especially if they pet me and I love stuffed animals! The toys with a squeaker are the best! The squeaker is also a good way to distract me if I’m anxious about something. I will be neutered on March 11th but I’m available to meet families before that. If you are interested in adopting a senior boy who acts much younger than that and have already been approved, email labmatch@labadoption.org. If you are not already approved you can fill out an application on our website.
1/14/24 - ON HOLD Hi everyone! I’m new to L.E.A.R.N. and just want to introduce myself. I’m 12 yrs old and have lived outside on a farm my whole life. I did have some shelter, but someone told my foster mom that they saw me tied up outside every day. It didn’t take me long to realize I like living in a house and sleeping on a dog bed, but I do have a quirk that foster mom and dad are working on. I don't like all the shadows and sunlight moving around the house. I get a anxious and bark at it when I see it, so foster mom is doing things to distract me, and keep my mind off it. My foster parents tell me I’m a sweet boy and I'm in great shape for a 12 yr old! I like everyone I meet and get along with the dog that lives here. I’m learning new things and I’m adjusting to city life! I’ll keep you updated on my progress. Stay tuned
