Will Warehouse, Labrador retriever mix
Will Warehouse is a sweet male Labrador retriever puppy being kept at Last Hope K9 Rescue.
He is a social animal, and he loves other dogs, cats and children. He's already house-trained. He has been vaccinated.
Notes from his caretakers:
Will and his sister Alanna were dumped in a shipping yard days before temperatures dropped below zero. Since getting into a foster home, they have come out of their shell. Will is still more timid than his sister, but he loves curling up in a lap and getting loved on. He is a sweet boy that is very docile for his age.
