Description
Tell me I’m a good boy, and I’ll be yours forever!
Attention! I’m Sergeant, and I’m a 6-year-old neutered Labrador Retriever Mix, weighing 28 pounds. I was rescued from the streets of Tijuana where it is believed that I was either abused or hit by a car. Whatever the cause, I suffered severe trauma to my spine, which has left me fully incontinent (with both urine and feces). As a result, I must be diapered at all times when I’m indoors or when I’m inside a car. The good news is, I’m fully mobile (and can walk very well on a leash, I might add) and am in no pain from this injury. I have a sensitive stomach so I eat Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Adult Selected Protein PR Dry Dog Food to help keep me regular and recently started some anxiety medication to help with my nervousness when I am left alone.
But, let’s get to a little bit about me! I’m a sweet and gentle boy who is incredibly loving with people and children. More than anything in the world, I want to be petted, loved on, and told that I’m a good boy. My morning cuddles are to die for! My favorite activities include chasing fast-moving creatures, like lizards and squirrels, and going on car rides. But most of all, I adore my squeaky toys! I can play with them for hours and just one squeak can send me from a deep slumber to instantly alert. I do still struggle with lack of dog socialization skills, where I’ll do a low growl when they get too close and I become uncomfortable. As long as a dog won’t approach me, and/or I have my squeaky distraction toy, I am good. I’ve made tremendous progress in this department and can chill and watch dogs form afar and do their thing, while I observe and then lose interest and nap or play with my toy!
My ideal home would be somewhere with a lot of love. I am people dog for sure! Young and old, I love to sit with senior and hear their stories and love to cuddle and receive pets from kids! I wear a diaper and a belly band that needs changing a few times a day. I need to be your one and only doggie but do well sharing a home with cats! All in all, though, I’m a lovable boy who is just looking for a furever family who I can love with all my heart.
My adoption fee is $100 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip. If you want to take me home, please fill out the form on the website here: https://theanimalpad.org/adoption-application/
