Todd is just a baby, but his time was up at a kill shelter.  Judy just couldn't let that happen to this little guy so he's at Pet Rescue by Judy.

 

He's a lab puppy so he is good with everything -- other dogs, kids, people, etc.  He'll make a great addition to any family.

 

Foster Update 11/18:

I have had Todd for a week now, and he is a joy to be around! He's smart, playful, and loving -- everything a puppy should be. His potty training is coming along well (with minimal accidents). He is great on walks, plays tug-o-war, and is learning to fetch. His mange is almost gone, so he will soon be ready for neutering & placement in his forever home! He gets along with other dogs, cats, kids, and even learned to ignore the baby ducks who shared the yard for his first six days here. He loves water -- we haven't taken him swimming because of the weather, but he chases the water from the hose and plays in the ducks' pool.

 

*** According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Labrador Retriever is a loving, affectionate, lovable, patient dog. Once known as the "St John's Dogs," the Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. Originally from Newfoundland, Canada the Labrador was trained to jump overboard into the icy waters to haul fisherman's nets to shore. Specimens were brought to England in the 1800's by English ships coming from Labrador, where the dog's fine retrieving instincts were honed and developed. One of the best family dogs and canine companions because of their gentle, loving disposition, the highly trainable Labrador also excels in drug detection, as a guide for the blind, and service dog for the disabled. The breed is also an outstanding obedience and field trial competitor. Highly intelligent, loyal, willing, and high-spirited. Lively and good-natured, they love to play, especially in water - for they love to swim. They have an excellent, reliable, temperament and are friendly, superb with children and equable with other dogs. They crave human attention and need to feel as though they are part of the family. Labs are easily trained. These dogs are watchdogs, not guard dogs, although some have been known to guard. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
