Are you that special person who can rescue a sensitive dog who's had a hard time in life due to no fault of his own? Are you kind and patient, yet assertive and good at enforcing consistent boundaries? Do you get it that some rescues need to take things slowly before their true personality shines through? You may be the perfect match for adorable Stanley, a 3-year-old male Labrador Retriever Mix who weighs in at 59 pounds.
Once Stanley develops a relationship with you, he's an absolute love bug and will steal your heart. Stanley blossoms in a low key, adult only household of experienced dog owners. Not a fan of cats? Neither is Stanley, although he enjoys the company of other confident dogs. Stanley loves car rides and the outdoors, whether it is on a long walk or just chilling outside while his person enjoys a good novel. Stanley is super smart and will show off his skills with daily training and enrichment exercises. He's fully house trained, good on a leash and working on crate training.
He will need the continued support of his family and a licensed dog trainer or behaviorist in order to continue to be successful. Positive reinforcement is a must to show him he is doing the right thing. Stanley has encountered much change in his life and with patience, dedication, and commitment to training, he will begin to feel secure and make his adoptive family proud.
