Adopt MULLIGAN a Black Labrador Retriever / Mixed dog in Charlotte

Location:

Charlotte, NC

Description:

Please contact foster parent at XXXX@earthlink.net•crate trained- He actually has shown signs of separation anxiety, so we’re starting to work on that with training. While he’s actually quite comfortable in/around the crate, he starts to bark and tunnel once left alone. He will enter the crate on his own when the door is left open, so it seems like the anxiety is more so the issue than the crate itself. •house broken - Mulligan seems to be fully housebroken. •play style/energy level (lot of walks vs chill dog)- He is great about settling once he realizes it’s time to relax. If you sit down on the couch, he’ll pretty quickly lay down at your feet and take a nap. That being said, he loves being active and going to walks. He’s playful and energetic, but not out of control.•if they know any commands (if so, what)- Mulligan knows sit and stay. He’s far more motivated to perform these commands if there’s a treat involved, though. He’s smart and picks up quick. We’ve taught him to sit at crosswalks and at doors until we tell him “okay!”•how they walk on a leash (do they pull/need a harness vs loose leash w/ no pulling)- We didn’t notice any pulling at first, but as he’s gotten more settled, it’s come out a bit. The harness helps, so I would recommend that over just a collar. • if they`re good with cats/kids/other dogs, etc- We haven’t had him around other dogs yet outside of sidewalk interactions (at a distance) while he’s out on a walk. He’s recovering from kennel cough, so once that clears up we may try him around other dogs; however, he’s shown some signs of leash aggression, so we want to be cautious. He’s so sweet though, so I know it probably comes from fear and anxiety. No idea about cats or kids yet. •anything else fun or unique about the dog- He loves to “hug” and will (very very gently) hop up to give you some love. He loves treats so much that when you tell him to “sit” for a treat he’ll sit back so fast his booty slides across the floor. He curls up SO tight sometimes when he lays down that you’d swear you have a burnt croissant laying in your living room. He loves riding in the car and is a very well behaved passenger.
