About Pickles - Handsome, Sweet Boy, Loves Cuddles and Great with Dogs

Pickles is the kindest, most charming boy who will absolutely win you over! He’s happiest when he's right by your side, soaking up all the affection, giving sweet kisses, snuggling close, and rolling over for belly rubs. All Pickles truly wants is love and companionship.

He has a medium energy level, striking a perfect balance between playtime and being a total couch potato. Off-leash, he loves to zoom and stretch his legs, but after a few minutes, he’s ready to come inside, cool off, and relax. Indoors, he's reliably calm and placid, making him a wonderful companion for a home that enjoys a little playfulness and a lot of cuddle time. He walks fairly well on a leash and is a great car rider, making him an easy buddy for outings and adventures. He tolerates his crate well when needed. Pickles isn't particularly interested in toys; he's a simple guy who prefers spending time loving on his people over playing with playthings.

Pickles has done wonderfully with other dogs, including a recent visiting pup, showing he can share his space successfully with canine companions. However, he will chase cats, so a cat-free home is best for him. He's doing well with house training but has occasional accidents. He is crate trained. At 3 years old, this 50 lb lab mix is neutered, micro-chipped, and up to date on vaccines.
