Cory

My story

Meet Cory!Cory is a 7.5-year-old Lab mix with a big heart, a goofy streak, and 65 pounds of pure love. He’s the kind of dog who brings a smile to your face every single day.This sweet boy has wonderful house manners. He’s fully housetrained, sleeps quietly in his crate at night, and spends his days happily lounging in his favorite spots or leaning in for pets and butt scratches. Around the house, he’s quiet and polite — barking only when he’s squeaking a toy or the occasional squirrel runs by. He even greets visitors with calm tail wags, never jumping up.Cory is very smart and already knows a long list of commands including sit, stay, come, watch me, leave it, and wait. He even has polite mealtime manners, sitting patiently until he’s told “okay.” He’s both food-motivated and eager for praise, which makes training fun. Cory is working on his leash skills and doing great with consistency. He walks best with a gentle leader and is learning to focus more on his person instead of every interesting smell.When it comes to play, Cory is a happy, medium-energy guy. He loves fetch, squeaky toys, hikes, and splashing in the river — and he’s even practicing his paddle boarding skills! After some exercise and a little mental stimulation, he’s perfectly content to curl up and relax for the rest of the day.Cory would thrive as the only dog in the home. He can be selective with other dogs and isn’t a match for cats, but he absolutely adores people — especially kids. Because he plays with enthusiasm and may guard special toys, he’ll do best with older children who understand dog boundaries.Healthy, affectionate, and full of personality, Cory is looking for a confident, loving family who will continue his training, keep him active, and shower him with snuggles. In return, he’ll give you loyalty, laughter, and endless love.
