Description:
Keefer and his littermates, Furbert and Dippsy, were rescued from a high kill shelter in Georgia. Don't you wonder how such beautiful puppies have end up in such a horrible place? I am so glad that a group of kind people pulled them out of that shelter and brought them to us.
These little angles are terrific and love playing with each other all day. A word of advice ~ if you are considering adopting a puppy and don't already have a dog, please consider two. They don't have to both be puppies; you just really want to have another dog for a puppy to play with. If you saw how they romp all day, no way would you take one home and leave it there alone all day long while you were at work. The best dogs are those that have canine companionship and some training. OK, I'm off my soap box, but please consider it.

7/28 Update:
Keefer has not matured enough physically to be neutered so we are putting it off for at least a couple of weeks.
8/13 Foster Update:
Yesterday I was training Keefer a little periodically throughout the day. I just took some of his regular puppy kibble and walked to different parts of the house, saying "Keefer, Come!" He would come to me and then I would have him sit before I would give him food. He was doing pretty well. When I got up and gave him breakfast this morning, he ate some out of his bowl and then I noticed he was following me wherever I went. When I looked at him, he sat. I realized what he was doing. He was waiting for me to give him some kibble for coming to me and sitting. Smart dog!





*** How familiar are you with the Labrador Retriever? 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.
