Male Dog, Labrador Retriever

Labrador Retriever / American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (Medium Coat)

Description:

Meet Jonah — 4 years old, Labrador/Pit Bull mix, built like a linebacker but identifies as a weighted blanket.Jonah is strong on leash (he’s got places to go, smells to investigate, mysteries to solve), but slap a harness on this guy and suddenly he’s like, “oh right, manners.” Underneath that muscle is a calm, gentle soul who would very much like to sit directly in your lap as if he weighs 12 pounds and not… significantly more than that. He’s a professional sniffer—part detective, part vacuum—happily exploring every inch of his surroundings and absolutely thriving when given the chance to sniff out hidden treats. Enrichment? He invented it.Jonah has clearly been to school and paid attention: he knows sit, shake, stay, and come, and he takes treats like a perfect gentleman. No chomp, no chaos, just polite snack acceptance. He’s interested in other dogs and gives off “hey, what’s your deal?” energy, so a meet-and-greet is recommended to make sure everyone’s on the same page friendship-wise. If you’re looking for a strong, sweet, lap dog with excellent manners and a passion for sniff-based adventures, Jonah is ready to enroll in your life immediately.
