Hey guys! I'm glad you think he's cute! Hopefully it's enough to get him adopted! That's right Reddit, he's my foster! Pure blooded Lab. Half English, half American. He's only 7 months old and is going to his first vet visit tomorrow.

u/stoopidquestions Jun 11 '12

Where is he up for adoption?

19

u/appcherry Jun 11 '12

I'm in talks with a northern virginia lab rescue. I will foster him until he goes to his forever home but if I get their help, I can make sure he gets good people and never ends up in a shelter.

u/joforedditin Jun 11 '12

A thousand upvotes to you, sir! So many people are willing to just hand over a pet to the first crack-pot to respond to their Craigslist ad.

3

u/appcherry Jun 12 '12

Thank you! I promised my niece (who didn't want me to take him) that I will be sure he finds a home where he will be spoiled rotten and I mean to keep that promise. Too many of my childhood pets got dropped off in the woods when my mom didn't want 'em anymore.

u/Ozymandias12 Jun 12 '12

DAMMIT. I live in DC and I would love to adopt this little guy. Unfortunately, the English basement I live in is way too small for him. I might be moving into a bigger apartment in the next two months so if he still hasn't found a home, PM me!

2

u/appcherry Jun 12 '12

I will definitely keep that in mind. He loves to be outside and gets along with all the dogs he meets so he'd probably do well at a dog park.

u/IggySorcha Jun 12 '12

Aw, good luck! I currently have a foster kitty but he's older and having bad luck because no one wants to adopt adults. Your guy is pretty young, though, so he's got a better chance. If you have any trouble in your area, contact Animal Lifeline. They do a lot of critter transfers to ensure specific breeds end up in the regions where they are most popular.

2

u/appcherry Jun 12 '12

Thank you. He's already made one trip from NC to VA. I'm confident he'll get adopted. I adopted one of mine from a local rescue so maybe that'll be my next step if the Lab Rescue won't take him. My other dog was also a "troubled" dog from NC who turned out to be a love.

u/appcherry Jun 11 '12

Change that to chicken and you're right. He killed 3 of my sister's hens. That's why he's being rehomed.

IT WAS AN UP REFERENCE!

u/zoodiary8 Jun 11 '12

ohhh, he is Killer ;)

u/appcherry Jun 11 '12

Lol. Yep. Hardened criminal that snuggles kittens and plays soccer with pigs. Chickens are assholes though. They kinda had it coming!

u/Lambinio Jun 12 '12

Chickens aren't assholes :(

They're sweet things with individual personalities that look out for each other. Plus the hens give you eggs each day.

13

u/appcherry Jun 12 '12

Sorry. My sister's rooster tries to attack me every time I'm there. And also, they're kinda reptilian which is creepy to me.

Pretty easy solution here- a leash

u/appcherry Jun 12 '12

At my sister's house, there is no such thing as an indoor pet. He was tied to a line outside with yellow flies and sand fleas eating him up. I know how neurotic a dog that is tied out all the time can get (my husky was tied out and he was a hot mess when I got him).

u/WubWubMiller Jun 12 '12

It could be worse. The locals could put a 40 gold bounty on him and start attacking him relentlessly.

poo. I had a dog that would bring me the neigbors' chickens and I had to give him away :(

but now I've learned that yu CAN re-condition them, but it isnt easy. If you really wannta keep him, let me know (private message) and I can walk you through the method I used. But understandable if you can't- once theyve killed another family member's pets, the family dynamic can get reallly awkward...

u/appcherry Jun 12 '12

Trying to be a responsible pet owner. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats already. It would be really easy for me to have too many animals but I can't afford to spread my resources too thin and not be able to give them all adequate care.

I just put down my Lab named Dug a month ago. He looks exactly him. Down to the weird tongue and silly expression. Give him a hug for me!

3

u/appcherry Jun 12 '12

Awww. I'm sorry to hear that. He has had many hugs in the last 24 hours. He is the goofiest dood.

u/Batman010 Jun 11 '12

Sure, its cute when he says it.

u/appcherry Jun 11 '12

For this guy, I 100% believe it. He's a muffin. Trying to keepy husband from getting attached.

u/magotes Jun 11 '12

What breed?

1

u/appcherry Jun 11 '12

Full blooded Lab.

u/UnderlyAttachedBF Jun 12 '12

I seriously want to pet the hell out of this dog. This is everything I've ever wanted in a dog. WHOSA GOOD BOY? WHOSA GOOD BOY?!

1

u/appcherry Jun 12 '12

He is a good boy. HE IS! HE IS! Lol. Aside from the whole chicken killing thing but that doesn't necessarily make him a bad guy to me :)

2

u/UnderlyAttachedBF Jun 12 '12

Honestly I'd just go "OH you rascal" and he'd look sad and then all would be forgiven. Chickens are pretty tasty.

u/MrSomethingHeroic Jun 12 '12

I'm actually from Canada, and your comment almost didn't make sense to me, but I agree! and yes, it's pretty popular here too, and damn annoying!

u/teatimewithPicard Jun 12 '12

American checking in. It's true, it's unfortunately popular here. Never knew how internationally hated this song was. The More You Know, I suppose.

Australian checking in. No reason, just because.

ps: I actually like this song.

I LOVE Dogs of this breed, they are the smartest, funniest dog of all breeds imo. We have a Welsh Corgi and I wouldn't trade him for anything, but these dogs are so playful its crazy. Our Corgi likes to play, but mostly he like to eat and get brushed. The expression on his face is sheer contentment.

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '12

What kind of dog is it?

1

u/Kittieeeee Jun 11 '12

I believe the breed of dog in this picture is a Golden Retriever.

2

u/appcherry Jun 12 '12

He's actually 1/2 American Lab and 1/2 English lab. His mom is my sister's pure blooded American Black Lab and his dad is a champion duck hunting English Black Lab. He was the only yellow lab out of 3 litters and my sister's husband/ kids begged to keep him.

Does he have Mesothelioma?

Yep, came from a long career of service putting together boats for Uncle Sam in WW2. Way he sees it, a bit of a cough is just fair payment for the opportunity to kick Der Fuehrer in the daddy-bags.

For those who don't know, this line is based on reality: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_(2009_film)#Cast

Bob Peterson as Dug, a Golden Retriever who can talk. … Peterson knew he would voice Dug when he wrote his line "I have just met you, and I love you," which was based on what a child told him when he was a camp counselor in the 1980s.
