Donahue (Don) Labrador Retriever & Terrier Mix Creston, IA

Donahue came to the city pound as a stray and was never claimed. We can't figure out why! He is so affectionate and listens very well. Don takes treats nicely and loves to take walks. Having good leash manners he is a volunteer favorite. He will kennel when asked and sit for treats.

Don is a large fella and is durable enough for long runs/walks and exploring but he is also content to follow you around the yard and relax on the couch next to his person. He is easy to handle and is treat and praise motivated so learning routines and new tricks should be easy.

He has played well with dogs 35 pounds and larger (we don't have small dogs to test him with). With slow introductions and supervision he would probably do well with any size dog. We feel he would not do well with cats. He is too fixated on their movements and doesn't redirect easily. We feel Don would be good around children because is calm and super friendly. It's always a good idea for children to be respectful of any dogs' body, space and food.

We are guessing him at 2-3 years old. Donahue is a great dog with lots of love to offer. If you adore large dogs and can give Don the life he deserves, please email mdowney@iowatelecom.net for an appointment to meet him.
