Worthy Black Labrador Retriever Mix Springfield, MO

In my rookie football year I have proven to be most Worthy of being rescued!
I am named after the Kansas City Chief's rookie player, Xavier Worthy, and I hope to be as fast of a runner as him when I grow up!

I am an 9 month old most likely lab mixed breed dog. I am a sweet boy who loves all the snuggles. I like other dogs of all sizes and ages and live with a cat, at the moment. I haven't been around younger children yet, but I think if they like football and throw a ball for me to catch, we could be great teammates. I would love a house setting to live in with my special person(s). Apartment living is not going to be considered for me. I haven't had very much leash practice yet, however I am becoming more confident on leash. I am potty trained and crate trained. I know how to "Sit" and love dog treats! I will need a person dedicated to providing me with all the love and attention a puppy deserves and needs, who has time for me and is willing to continue with all the great training a puppy needs to be the MVP of the game. If you are ready for me to be on your team, then submit your application for me now!

**As a reminder, puppies will need lots of time and attention during the first year. Before adopting me, please make sure that you have enough time, energy and commitment to devote to my training. Puppies need a lot of care, so everyone in your household should be on board and ready to help out**

My adoption fee is $150 and includes my spay/neuter, vaccinations, wellness exam, heartworm test, and microchip! If you're interested in meeting/adopting me, please visit www.rescueonespringfield.com/our-adoption-process/adoption-application/ and fill out the form! We do adopt out of state with vet references and video home check. *Adopter is responsible for coming to get the dog and returning the dog if the adoption does not work out*

**Rescue One is unable to provide an exact prediction of how big or small your rescue puppy will become when full grown. Any approximation provided is no guarantee.**
