Gang #4049
They named me Gang (#4049), and boy would I love to be part of yours! It’s a common name in South Korea, where I arrived from on February 28th. These last couple of weeks have been so awesome for me while I’ve gotten to know my foster family and their resident dogs.
I am an incredibly sweet, super smart and happy Labrador male. I was born in November 2021, which puts me at almost 2 ½ years old, and weigh about 65 pounds. I am such a quick learner, and have already identified how to ask to go outside to go potty, how to wait for meals (boy, I love food!!) and easily go in my crate and stay the night, or if you have to leave for a couple of hours. I sleep through the night, but prefer my crate to be close to my human, especially while I am getting used to things. My foster people have been very impressed that I’m pretty good about heeling on my walks, and that I am not reactive to leashes, other animals, or humans while out. Even when encountering kitties unexpectedly, I wasn’t fazed at all.
I know a few basic commands, and bet I’ll easily pick up more if you’ll work with me! I get along awesome with my foster siblings (a German Shepherd and another Labrador) and love to play and hang out together. I like other boy and girl dogs, and would probably be great in a house with animals. That said, I love my human. If nothing else is going on, I am most content to be near you. I think the only thing I love more than food is affection, and if you’ll let me, I would be happiest to just cuddle up to you. I don’t think I’m a “Velcro” dog like they say, but really, I’m happiest in your presence.
While a lot of things are very new to me in America, I haven’t exhibited any weird anxieties or get bothered by much. I’m not bothered by the vacuum, the lawn mower or even the dishwasher. I love to go for rides in the car and travel very well. I do need a good fenced yard and leashed when out and about. I don’t bark often, but have a big voice when I do. I haven’t exhibited a habit of excessive chewing, but I have gotten a couple of small items. My fosters have helped ensure I have lots of toys and get exercise, and they also keep their closets closed for now.
I will thrive with a human who can spend more time teaching me, is patient and consistent, and wants a loving, fun dog in their life! If this kind of relationship you’re looking for, I’d love to get to know you!
