Liam is the sweetest hunk of joy, ready to be your most faithful companion! This perfect boy is brimming with all the wonderful qualities Labs are known for: deep loyalty, playful energy, and a heart full of devotion. He is smart, eager to please, and loves to be involved in all your family activities, whether it's a trip to the park or a relaxing evening indoors. Liam is a gentle soul with a silly personality at times, happy to take it all in and be a part of the action, eager to bond with his new family.
As a Labrador Retriever and Terrier mix, Liam embodies the friendly, outgoing, and good-natured characteristics of his breeds. He's happy to co-exist with other pups, enjoying occasional playful bursts, and has passed his cat test with flying colors, completely ignoring them. His calm demeanor in the house makes him suitable for homes with kind children of any age, though his size means he might accidentally bump over very small children. He knows 'sit' and is eager to learn more, showing he's very redirectable and wants to do the right thing.
Liam is looking for a home that appreciates a steadfast, loving, and reliable best friend. With a low to moderate activity level, he's content with one good walk in the morning and then ready for hanging out, though he gets occasional energy bursts around meal times. He is housetrained and sleeps all night in his bed, waiting for the family to wake up. While he pulls a bit on the leash initially, he settles in nicely. Liam is heartworm positive, but his treatment is manageable and covered by the rescue, ensuring he can live a long, happy life with you.
