Meet Roney Breed: Black Lab / Terrier Mix Sex: Male DOB: 3/30/2024 Weight: 31 Pounds Health: Healthy and doing well Roney is a handsome young dog with a joyful spirit, a wagging tail, and a heart full of love. At two years old, he’s at that perfect stage — past the puppy phase but still full of playful energy and curiosity. With his friendly nature and easygoing personality, Roney is the kind of dog who fits right into a home and quickly becomes everyone’s favorite companion. Personality Roney is happy, friendly, and wonderfully social. He gets along well with other dogs and enjoys being around people, making him a great addition to a variety of households. He has a playful side and loves engaging with his environment, but he also knows how to relax and enjoy quiet moments with his humans. Roney thrives on companionship and will happily be part of whatever you’re doing, whether it’s playtime, a walk, or simply relaxing at home. Breed Info Black Lab / Terrier mixes often combine the best of both breeds — the Labrador’s friendly, outgoing personality and the Terrier’s curiosity and playful energy. These dogs tend to be intelligent, adaptable, and eager to engage with their families. With regular exercise and positive interaction, they grow into loyal and well-rounded companions. Owner Responsibilities Roney will do best with an adopter who can provide regular exercise, companionship, and engagement. Daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation will help keep him happy and balanced. Continued positive reinforcement training will strengthen the bond between Roney and his adopter while helping him continue to build confidence and good habits. &#226&#154&#160&#239&#184&#143 Things to Consider Before adopting Roney, it’s important to think about your long-term lifestyle and stability. Are pets allowed where you live now and in the future? If you move, will Roney move with you? Do you have time each day for exercise, companionship, and engagement? Are you financially prepared for routine veterinary care, food, and unexpected medical needs? Adoption means committing to your dog through every stage of life. Vet Care Even though Roney is healthy, adopters should establish care with their own veterinarian soon after adoption. This helps ensure preventative care continues properly and provides a trusted medical partner for his long-term health and well-being. Understanding the 3-3-3 Rule Like most rescue dogs, Roney will need time to adjust to his new home. The first 3 days he may feel unsure as he decompresses. The first 3 weeks he will begin learning your routine and feeling more comfortable. By 3 months, his confidence will grow and his loving personality will fully shine. Patience and consistency during this time will help him thrive. Why Roney? Roney is a loving, friendly dog who is ready to bring joy, companionship, and loyalty into a lucky home. With his easygoing personality and happy spirit, he has everything it takes to become a wonderful lifelong companion.
