About Foster

Foster is a 2-year-old, 43 lb Labrador Retriever mix who is proof that a little patience and love can help a dog truly shine. When he first arrived, Foster was very scared and unsure of his new surroundings, but over time he has gained confidence and started showing everyone his wonderful personality. This smart boy is eager to learn and already knows many basic commands! Foster loves having a chance to use his brain and would thrive with a family who will continue to encourage him, build his confidence, and show him the love he may have been missing. Once he trusts you, you'll see what a loyal and special companion he can be. Foster is ready for a home that will appreciate his gentle spirit and give him the time he needs to blossom. If you're looking for a smart, sweet, and rewarding best friend, Foster may be the perfect match for you.

Ideal Home
