Meet Trucker, a handsome 3-year-old Labrador Retriever weighing about 75 pounds. He is an affectionate, devoted Velcro dog who loves being with his people and joining them in daily adventures. Trucker rides beautifully in the car, enjoys meeting new people, and is eager to bond with his family.

Ideal Home

Trucker would thrive with a family willing to give him time to settle into a routine. He has lived around cats and would do best with older children who can appreciate his energetic, enthusiastic nature. He is strong and excited on leash but walks more comfortably with an Easy Walk Harness.

Ongoing Health

Trucker is neutered and vaccinated. His adoption fee includes DAPP, age-appropriate rabies vaccination, a heartworm test and preventative, and flea and tick treatment.
