General Notes | Hello, I'm Gabe! I don't want to brag, but I am just about the goodest boy there is. I am sweet, loving, goofy, very well mannered (no begging here!) and aim to please. I love being around my people, and the only thing I may love more is being around other dogs. I am a favorite of the owner of my doggy day care (ok, now I'm bragging!) and have never met a dog I didn't like or want to say hello to. Health Notes | I am a healthy boy, am up to date on my vaccines, and don't mind going to the vet! Other Dogs | Yes, please! I am a regular at my doggy day care and love, love, love my four-legged friends I've met there! I am an only dog currently, although would love the opportunity to live with other dogs. No dogs at home? Thats ok - just let me say hi to any that I meet to get my fill! Cats | I have a strong prey drive so best not to have me around cats, chickens, etc. I do live with a cat currently and we do co-exist. But, I'm a fun loving guy so love a game of chase, which my cat sibling isn't overly fond of. Children | I don't live with children currently but have certainly been around them. I may not be my best self around younger children just as unpredictable movements and noises and grabbing hands can be a lot to take in. I am a very patient boy, but am used to having my boundaries and space respected so older children may be best for me. Training | I am house trained and am very respectful of things that arent my own. When at home, I am happy and content being where ever my people are, and don't have any inclination to be destructive. I do have a crate and use it for meal time and bed time. I know all the basic commands and have the capacity to learn even more I am that smart and eager to please! Leash | Terrific! No pulling here - I'm a big fan of walking next to you with a loose leash! You will never have to worry about me embarassing you on walks, I promise to make you look good! Activity Level | Medium to High. I spend most weekdays with my friends in doggy day care so get to burn some serious energy off there. When not hanging with my friends, being active is still a must. I love physical and mental stimulation and walk around 1-2 miles on my non-day care days. Personality | I'm mellow, cooperative, and respond well to approval. I am a sweet goofy boy who just wants to feel part of a pack. I'm handsome and have been told my kind soulful eyes and sweet disposition make me hard to resist. I am a big fan of the ladies (and they me!). I often gravitate to females, but am not fearful of men - I just may need some time to warm but I'll come around! A head scratch, treats, or a car ride are sure fire ways to my heart. Story | I was rescued from Texas by Mile High Lab Mission in 2022, and was adopted by a family in CO that saw what a catch I was. Sadly, a change in employement and caretaking schedules is forcing my family to make an incredibly difficult decision to have MHLM find me a new home, as they know I have so much exploring to do and love to give and they want me to have all of that and more! They are not rehoming me due to any fault of my own! Thank you! | Adoption Donations | Our adoption donations are $475 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year, $425 for 1-6 years, $375 for dogs 7-10 years, and $250 for 11+ years of age. Purebred dogs regardless of age are $525. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, and supplies while in foster care that currently average over $700 per dog). Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet & greets by appointment to approved applicants only. To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process. Please know | Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption. We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page! We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved. Your application is good for 90 days from the time of approval for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle.
