Keller – Yellow Male, 3 years, 71 lbs.
Let’s talk about gorgeous!
Meet Keller, approximately 3 years old and 71 pounds of handsome. Animal Control labeled him a Yellow Lab mix, but honestly, we’re questioning the mix part. This boy is a total stunner!
So, how did a good-looking guy like Keller end up with Fresno Lab Rescue? Well, we’re thinking the hormones got the best of him, and he was out looking for love in all the wrong places. The good news? Animal Control unpacked his bags, checked him in, and decided to keep his family jewels as payment for his stay. 😂 Needless to say, his days of roaming the neighborhood looking for romance are officially over!
A few things you should know about Keller:
Tennis balls? Yes! And he even drops it when he returns it to you. If you have a nerf ball that squeaks, he loses his mind.
Cats? Couldn’t care less.
Leash manners? Pretty darn good! He walks nicely on a leash.
Water? NOW WE’RE TALKING!
Crate-trained? He can, but doesn’t like to. Can you blame him? He has been sleeping on a pillow in the master bedroom and is living the good life now.
We hope you have access to an ocean, lake, pond, stream, fountain, or even a good-sized puddle because Keller is ALL ABOUT THE WATER. Tell him, “NO! Stay out of the fountain!” and he’ll reluctantly obey while giving you the ultimate side-eye, as if to say, “Aw, man! 😢”
He’s also discovered his favorite scratch spot, right above his tail between his hips. Hit that sweet spot and you’ll be rewarded with a cute little grunt. 😆 And if you scratch it just right, he’ll get so wound up that he’ll even start chasing his own tail!
Keller came in knowing how to sit and has proven to be a quick learner. He takes correction well and has already picked up commands like “Down,” “Get Out of the Kitchen,” “Stop,” in addition “Shake.” One place he needs improvement on is car rides. We think he had never ridden in a car before. We are currently working on it and he is making significant improvements each time. More adventures ahead, Keller!
Keller loves his foster sisters so we think he would prefer another large dog or two in his new home, and a backyard where he can stretch those legs. He’s past the destructive puppy stage, isn’t looking to redecorate your house, and so far, has excellent bathroom manners. No indoor accidents and no marking the patio furniture. We call that a pretty great roommate!
If you’re looking for a handsome, water-loving, tennis ball chaser, Keller might just be your guy!
