About Pike #6530

Pike is a 4-year-old, approximately 50-pound Lab/Golden mix with a soft heart and an even softer spirit. She is a gentle soul ready for her second chance! Pike has made incredible progress since arriving at the kennel, and she is now in a foster home where she is doing great! While she is still a bit shy and nervous as she continues to learn that the world can be a safe place, she has come a long way. She happily accepts treats from volunteers and loves being petted once she feels comfortable. Her sweet nature truly shines through when given patience and kindness. Pike is housebroken and crate trained. She loves to spend time outside in the yard and is confident to go upstairs!

Ideal Home

Pike would thrive in a home with a confident, stable canine companion who can help show her the ropes and demonstrate that love from people is a wonderful thing. Having another dog to lean on will help Pike continue building her confidence. A secure, above-ground fenced yard is required, and a home without small children would be best for her comfort and safety. Pike needs a family who understands that healing takes time and can offer the patience, compassion, and unconditional love she deserves.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions were mentioned in the description.

Training & Support

Pike is still very shy and needs patience and love to truly shine. While she is still a bit timid with new people, she will warm up once she knows you and is seeking out pets from her foster mom.
