Online Cat Adoption Application

Tank came to us from a Lab rescue in GA. They did not want to keep him as he is not a full Lab. That makes no difference to us! We love him no matter what he is! Tank is a big 'ole boy with a big 'ole heart. He needs a strong owner as he is quite the dog. He is highly food motivated, and so will be easy to train. With a little guidance, Tank will be a great addition to a family.  He would do best with older kids due to his size.  What we have learned from his first foster family is that he can easily jump a four foot fence, so new owerns should PLEASE keep this in mind.  He would do best with a tall fence and a family who can offer lots of love and exercise. 

PRBJ treats ALL of our dogs with monthly Heartworm preventative. Tank is heartworm positive and all our HW+ dogs are treated with the recommended slow method, using monthly HW preventative as it is gentler on the animal’s system than the more invasive, injection method. Most dogs that are Heartworm positive can lead healthy, normal lives if the disease is caught early and treatment began. There are different options to treat HW and new owners may choose to redirect their type of treatment with direction of their vet.All HW+ dogs have a HW slow treatment info sheet in their adoption folder which will be provided to new owners.

*** According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Labrador Retriever is a loving, affectionate, lovable, patient dog. Once known as the "St John's Dogs," the Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. Originally from Newfoundland, Canada the Labrador was trained to jump overboard into the icy waters to haul fisherman's nets to shore. Specimens were brought to England in the 1800's by English ships coming from Labrador, where the dog's fine retrieving instincts were honed and developed. One of the best family dogs and canine companions because of their gentle, loving disposition, the highly trainable Labrador also excels in drug detection, as a guide for the blind, and service dog for the disabled. The breed is also an outstanding obedience and field trial competitor. Highly intelligent, loyal, willing, and high-spirited. Lively and good-natured, they love to play, especially in water - for they love to swim. They have an excellent, reliable, temperament and are friendly, superb with children and equable with other dogs. They crave human attention and need to feel as though they are part of the family. Labs are easily trained. These dogs are watchdogs, not guard dogs, although some have been known to guard. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.

Good with Dogs, Not Good with Cats
