Adult Male Dog - Labrador Retriever: "Bowser" in Brooks, Alberta

Breed: Labrador Retriever

Age: Adult

Sex: M

Size: L
Bowser's past life before coming the shelter seems questionable. He's is a very sweet, friendly and playful dog once you've earned his trust. Bowser seems to be very fearful of strangers, and will bark and growl at them. He just needs to know they pose no threat to him and he will warm up to them quite fast! He's also afraid of wheels (Bike, car, ect).
Bowser is nervous around small children, so he should go to a home without them. He seems to be fine with our older volunteers (12 and up?) and loves to play in the yard with them.
Bowser is a very smart dog who should learn any command quickly. He already knows his basic commands and a few tricks, like shake-a-paw. Bowser loves to swim and play in the water, even if it's just sitting in the kiddie pool. Bowser gets along wonderfully with female dogs and LOVES to play. He'd do awesome with a female-friend in his new home., He simply adores playing fetch (like most labs!).
Bowser has been at the shelter far too long and deserves a chance for a real home. He'd be a perfect pet once the perfect home is found! All dogs are spayed or neutered, microchipped, dewormed, 1st vaccinations, and come with 6 weeks free pet health insurance at time of adoption.
