Labrador Retriever - Medium - Young - Male - Dog - Bobby

Meet Bobby! Bobby is an approx. 2 yr old Lab mix. He is a smaller then a lab and has a cobby body and docked tail, but the coat and spirit of a lab. He is a mild mannered boy that gently asks for your attention, once given he rolls over wagging his tail in much appreciation! Bobby is good with other dogs and children. He is crate-trained and though I can't say for sure he is housebroken I can say that when he has had housetime he has had no accidents. Bobby loves to play and will carry around his toys! If you can give Bobby a forever home and no more shelter life, please fill out an application and lets get Bobby home for good !Our adoption fee is $350 for most young/adults and $400 for puppies. We have had to raise our fee do to our transport costs from the south. We are often asked, "Why would you charge "so much" for a rescue pet? Why not just place it in a good home?" The answer is because we need adopters who are willing to support all rescue pets, not just the dog they adopt. A young, healthy dog might cost us $150-400 in (discounted) vet care, and many people will want to adopt it. An older one with health issues can easily cost $500-1500 in veterinary expenses, and it may require months of foster care for rehabilitation; yet we can only ask a minimal adoption fee, and it may be a long time until anyone comes forward to adopt it. Fees from the younger, more adoptable dogs help offset the cost of caring for the others. Most of our dogs have a sad story to tell, and some have suffered through years of neglect or abuse. We hope that you too are willing to give an opportunity for a better life to ALL of our dogs by supporting them through adoption fees. Without these funds, our rescue efforts would not be possible."
