Kylo, Labrador retriever and shepherd mix

Kylo is an adorable male Labrador retriever and shepherd mix currently residing at Pet Haven Inc. of Minnesota.

Kylo gets along well with other dogs. His ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. He's already house-trained. He is vaccinated and neutered.

Here's what Kylo's friends at Pet Haven Inc. of Minnesota think of him:

Kylo is a one-year-old loving and spirited dude looking for a fairly active lifestyle in his forever home. He has a rough and rowdy playstyle with other dogs and, if there is another dog in the home, he/she will need to mimic this playstyle or have the confidence to communicate that he/she doesn’t want to play. Kylo would love a home where he doesn't have to be alone a lot. He is getting used to being alone but really loves to be with his people.

Patch is a 70-pound, fun-loving, high energy dude who is his best self with ample exercise and opportunities to gnaw on toys and bones. To sum it all up, Patch is just a sweet, energetic soul looking for someone to provide positive training, exercise and patience as he learns to trust the world.
