Hawkeye – Yellow/white Male X, 6 months, 50lbs
Just like the wisecracking, M.A.S.H. character, canine Hawkeye is wildly smart and a bit spicy. He has an independent spirit and a big personality. It takes time to get to know him as He can be fearful and slow to interact with new people. However, he is loving and playful with his foster parents and family members. The start of his story is a bit scary and dramatic. He was on his way to the stockade, by no fault of his own. When, just in time, a Good Samaritan swooped into the rescue like a helicopter. He was delivered to the safety and protection of the defenders of dogs, the Labrador Retriever Rescue of Fresno. Hawkeye is now living in a foster home with two adult dogs. He’s a bit too rough with the cat so he would do best in a home without a cat. He sleeps in his bed in the foster’s room at night. He has great house manners and does well in a crate. He loves being outdoors and has learned to ring a bell at the door when he wants outside. Hawkeye is slow to be comfortable with new people but playful with humans he knows and can play on his own with toys. He has medium to high energy so he likes to stay busy between naps. His current hobbies are, playing with his foster’s two dogs, running, exploring, and chewing sticks. According to his foster Mom, he is sweet, smart, endlessly entertaining, happy, adventurous and athletic.
All puppies will be up to date on their age-appropriate vaccinations as well as being spayed, neutered and microchipped. Please remember that our goal is to find the best possible forever home for each and every dog so it is not a first come first serve situation. It is also important to add that a puppy can be up to a 15 year commitment and most labs have puppyish qualities for up to and sometimes beyond 2 years. An active family (children 6+) willing to take the time, patience, and commitment to work with a pup is important. Like all young Labs, training and regular exercise are essential to a happy, healthy pup. If you would like Hawkeye to be part of your family, please fill out an online adoption application!
