Lad

My story

**This is a courtesy posting for Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue. Please contact them directly! https://ygrr.org/profile/lad/ ** Hi, I’m Lad — your future best friend, adventure buddy, and tennis ball champion. I’m a 3-year-old Lab mix with a big goofy grin, an even bigger heart, and a very important talent: I can fit three tennis balls in my mouth at once. It’s my party trick — and yes, I’ll happily show you. I’m the kind of dog who brings joy wherever I go. I love splashing in the pool, going for walks, chasing toys, and soaking up all the fun life has to offer. I’m also house-trained, crate-trained, walk well on leash, and I have excellent house manners — so I’m more than ready to settle into a real home. I’m a staff and volunteer favorite — not just because of my good looks, but because of my sweet, goofy personality and how much love I have to give. Whether I’m showing off my tennis ball skills or curling up for snuggles after a play session, I leave a lasting impression on everyone I meet. At 85 pounds, I’m basically an oversized lapdog who just wants to be near my people. I’m affectionate, playful, and fiercely loyal — the kind of dog who will greet you at the door with a tail wag and a tennis ball, every single day. I’d thrive in a home where I can be your one and only pet. I’m not a fan of other dogs or cats, but I have so much love to give that you won’t need anyone else. I’d do best in an adult home or one with dog-savvy teens who understand my space and boundaries. Once I trust you, I’ll be your shadow, your snuggle buddy, and your constant source of laughs. If you’re looking for a dog who’s already trained, full of life, and deeply devoted — that’s me, Lad. I’ve been waiting for a family to call my own, and I’m ready to bring joy, loyalty, and a whole lot of tennis balls into your life. All I need is a soft bed, a kind heart, and someone to believe in me. Could that be you? **This is a courtesy posting for Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue.
