Sable
Labrador Retriever
Available for Adoption!
Sable has been tested and is 100% kid friendly! He absolutely LOVES them. We took him to Lowes and two little boys walked by and Sable smelled..did his tail like a helicopter and for the first time ever gave a little bark (he really never barks) of excitement. I asked the mom if they would approach and pet him and in under half a second they were on their knees getting kisses and cuddles and tons of excited love.
I took him over to my neighbors and he played with her 5 month-old and 2 year-old grandkids and did amazing with them...loves them!He met my other neighbors rather rowdy teenage (11 and 13) boys on a walk and was great with them as well so I'm going to say kid friendly....making him even more perfect then I thought possible 🥰🥰🥰🥰 loves dogs, cats and kids and all people!!!

Hi, I’m Sable. I’m part black lab and part slobber-goblin-land-seal-snuggle-muffin and I am looking for my forever home. I have only one wish... a place to call home!
I love to sleep on the sofa with someone to cuddle with. I have learned about cats, there are 2 of them here. I really like them. I get nervous in new places and need help to find my way around. There is a doggy door, so I can go out to potty anytime I want. I am learning stairs, and I am getting used to walking on a leash. There are lots of toys here and my foster siblings share them, and we have so much fun playing. I share my new toys and kibble with them. We love each other! I love playing outside, and I am so gentle.
I really want a family who will cuddle me, hold me, hug me, and smooch me. I am not high energy. I’m good with a family who likes to chill or take a walk with me. I travel well and am a great co-pilot. I am fine with a loud crazy household. Noises don't startle me, and I love the sounds of my family around me. I’m not a barker. I am conquering the stairs to go to bed upstairs with the family. I will sleep in a kennel, but I prefer to sleep next to you. I hope you will ask about me. I am ready to bond with my forever family. I have so much love to give. I am waiting and wishing so hard! I will be the best thing you ever did. I promise! Love, Sable

A little update on Sable who has been in his foster home for a couple of days.
1. I am a seasoned foster mom, and this boy really is special... smart, funny, desperate to bond with his forever family. He has so much love to give and he is happy to give it to anyone and everyone he meets.
2. He is anxious about being alone. Each day he gets braver and explores away from the safety of me.
3. His happy place is snuggled beside a human!
4. Great with my cats.
5. Has met my neighbors and my family. He loves them and is fantastic with both of my Weimaraner’s. No dominance but still confident. A lovely mix in his personality. 😍

6. Sable is smart and he has this head tilt when he is concentrating. It’s so cute that I want to give him anything he desires!
A few pics to share of him enjoying play time in his yard and snuggling... my favorite is the one of him and his foster brother Rowan (who is fully sighted) "hunting" squirrels with their eyes closed.
