Conrad Pointer & Labrador Retriever Mix Columbia, MO

Conrad is a silly and active guy. He's obsessed with tennis balls, though you'll need to offer a trade as he doesn't like to give them up. This guy needs a more mature home with lots of room to run and play!

His foster said "Conrad is a very friendly and calm guy. He is very good in the crate, on a leash and is fine to be left alone in the house. He does have sharp teeth (that I don't think he's aware of) so we've had to work on being gentle while playing. Conrad is timid around men and needs to be approached calmly. Other than that, he is a happy guy, great around other dogs and is a perfect pal to have around."

Here is what a volunteer had to say after taking Conrad on Doggy Day Out 7/10:

"Conrad was one of the sweetest dogs. he sat very patiently in the car and looked out the window without trying to get out of the window. We got a pup cup and then went home. He loved playing with and squeezing a little lobster stuffed animal and walking around my home to sniff things and see where things are at. When I sat down next to him he tried to crawl inside my lap. He was such a lover!"

Here is what a volunteer had to say after taking Conrad on Doggy Day Out 07/03:

"Conrad was an excellent passenger. He sat calmly, and leaned into my daughter who was sitting next to him. He is very affectionate! Conrad loves toys. I gave him a tennis ball and he would fetch, but then just carried it around in his mouth. He also enjoys treats, and would sit to get a treat. Conrad is a nice combination of playful, and calm. He easily entertained himself by carrying around the ball and sitting in your lap to get pets. He just wants love, tennis balls, and treats! He will be a great companion."
