Online Cat Adoption Application

Brave Sir Lancelot and his sister Gwenivere came from a high-kill shelter, where their time was up. These two siblings are irresistible. They are definitely going to be big puppies.

Here is what Lancelot's foster dad has to say about him:

Leash Manners - Walks well on leash, Does better when walking with his sister. Sometimes he gets scared and sits down.

Crate/House Training - House trained - no accidents at house. He has had a few accidents at work.  Lancelot does well in his crate, but needs some help getting in sometimes.  I put himr in the crate to feed him, treat him, for a nap and at night.

Socialization – He enjoys running in the yard with my dogs and enjoys playing with his sister,Gwenivere, I am fostering. He enjoys tossing toys, any toy his sister is playing with and is trying his best to make friends with my 2 year old lab. He is a high energy puppy and is almost always on the move.

Energy Level and Exercise – High energy – enjoys the freedom of the yard and motivates my dogs to chase and play with him. He plays outside several times throughout the day.  He enjoys playing fetch and brings it back most of the time. He and his sister can get wound up in the house so, I just let them back out in back yard to run it off.

Daily Structure and Schedule –  Plays a little outside and does his business. and then has 1 cup of food. 30 minutes of quiet time. Then  plays in yard until it is time to get ready for work. At work they get to meet new dogs and people. Lancelot is a little shy first meeting new people and dogs, but with some encouragement and praise will warm up very quickly. When we get home form work they go out to the backyard and play for a while. Have dinner 1 cup of dry and take a nap. Lancelot loves to cuddle up and watch TV when his is worn out. If he is still full of energy he will need more playing time or be crated. We go out one more time before bed and he sleeps in his kennel over night.

Confidence Level – Friendly and Shy with people and other dogs will bark at other dogs until they meet.  Does well in car and can even get in by his self now.

Obedience Training – He has learned "sit" and we're working on "come" and “wait” at the door. Does better with commands when his sister is not around to distract him.

Behaviors –  Is a pretty rambunctious and needs lots of play time. He is a puppy and will put his mouth on anything he can get to. (keep those shoes picked up). Will stop when told no, but will go back to it if not taken away or put up. He enjoys being around the dogs in the yard and chases, plays fetch and wrestles with the puppy until he is exhausted. likes to be around when me when in the house and sometimes can be under foot. Some times I have to put them away when trying to get something done.

Personality Quirks –  is a afraid of loud noise

Ideal Home -  Would love an active home with a single person, a couple or a family (still teething but plays calmly inside) . I really hope he gets adopted with his sister Gwenivere.  He would enjoy a fenced yard and someone who would enjoy walking and playing with him.   if his owner enjoys spending time with him. He is playful and gentle and will bond quickly to a caring person who has time for him.  He will make a loyal companion or a great family pet.

*** According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Labrador Retriever is a loving, affectionate, lovable, patient dog. Once known as the "St John's Dogs," the Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. Originally from Newfoundland, Canada the Labrador was trained to jump overboard into the icy waters to haul fisherman's nets to shore. Specimens were brought to England in the 1800's by English ships coming from Labrador, where the dog's fine retrieving instincts were honed and developed. One of the best family dogs and canine companions because of their gentle, loving disposition, the highly trainable Labrador also excels in drug detection, as a guide for the blind, and service dog for the disabled. The breed is also an outstanding obedience and field trial competitor. Highly intelligent, loyal, willing, and high-spirited. Lively and good-natured, they love to play, especially in water - for they love to swim. They have an excellent, reliable, temperament and are friendly, superb with children and equable with other dogs. They crave human attention and need to feel as though they are part of the family. Labs are easily trained. These dogs are watchdogs, not guard dogs, although some have been known to guard. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.

Good with Dogs, Good with Cats, Good with Kids
