We couldn’t believe it when we came across this happy, playful and so gorgeous black lab pup sitting in a high kill shelter. (Actually, unfortunately this happens a lot.) He was so eager to get our attention sticking his nose and paws under the kennel door as if to say “take me” which is just what we did. Linus is 8-9 months old, walks well on a leash, knows some basic commands, rides well in the car, gets along with other dogs, loves kids, and is pretty mellow for a lab pup of his age.
