About Banana Nut

Meet Banana Nut! This stunning 6-month-old black Lab mix has the sweetest soul, one unforgettable blue eye splashed with brown, and the cutest little underbite that makes him impossible not to fall in love with. Banana Nut is the perfect mix of snuggly sweetheart and goofy puppy energy. He absolutely adores his people and wants nothing more than to be close to them – whether that's curled up in your lap, sleeping beside you in the sun, or ideally tucked into bed with you at night (his personal favorite arrangement!). He's incredibly affectionate and eager to please, already learning "sit" and making wonderful progress with potty training. He sleeps quietly through the night in his crate and keeps it clean, though he'd definitely vote for unlimited cuddle privileges over crate time whenever possible. This boy LOVES being outside and gets the funniest bursts of chaotic puppy energy that leave everyone laughing.

Ideal Home

Banana Nut would be happiest in a home with a fenced yard where he can zoom around, sunbathe, and enjoy the grass. He can be timid at first and is still learning the world is a safe place. New people, especially children, can make him nervous initially, and he may bark when unsure. He's also cautious around new dogs at first and would benefit from slow introductions and patient guidance. Because he can be vocal and is still building confidence, Banana Nut would likely do best in a home rather than an apartment setting.

Ongoing Health

All of our dogs come spayed or neutered, heartworm tested, dewormed, up-to-date on prevention medications and age-appropriate vaccines, and microchipped.

Training & Support

Banana Nut is already learning "sit," takes direction well for a puppy, and is making wonderful progress with potty training. He sleeps quietly through the night in his crate and keeps it clean. He can be vocal and is still building confidence, so patient guidance and positive reinforcement will help him continue to blossom.
