Carmelo

My story

Meet Carmelo! He is a 1 yr old Lab/Retriever and Pointer mix that weighs 70lbs. He came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter as an owner surrender on 11/14. Reason for surrender was the owners were moving and could not take him. When Carmelo and I went outside in the yard or in front of the building it was easy to see how much he missed his family. He continued to look for them and wanted to go look for them. He is a big boy and does pull very strongly on a leash. He also will jump on you, so redirection/additional training may be needed. Having a very tall and secured yard so he can run and play in. He didn`t show any interest in toys, yet knows the sit command, At times he does not take treats gently, so some continual reminders to him would be necessary. He is a sweet boy and loves to be petted and given hugs. He has been well cared for and hopes to return to living indoors with his loving family. He didn`t show any interest in the other dogs barking at him, but we always advise to ask the shelter for a dog test if there will be another dog in the home. If you can offer this lovely boy a caring home of his very own, please come meet him.
