Looking for a Labrador?

Look no further! Golden Boy is a golden lab but he's even more special because he's got a few other fantastic dog breeds mixed in. That makes him a Golden Labrador Retriever Plus!!

Seriously, all of us here at the Plain Brown Dog blog need your help to spread the word that this gentle, playful, loving dog needs a home. He's been a guest of the Halifax Humane Society for months, which is confounding because he has so much pet potential. He's gonna make someone a fantastic forever dog. But he needs our help.

Here at Plain Brown Dog, we hear a lot from people looking for a "Lab." It is a popular breed. That's why we tell Lab-seeking individuals to give the shelter dogs a try. Most of them have Lab in them somewhere. And unlike purebred Labs, the Lab mix is usually healthier while still having all the same great Lab traits. Besides, once you give a shelter dog a try, and realize what grateful, loving dogs they are, you'll never go back to purchasing a fancy breed dog again.

Spread the word PBD fans. Let's get Golden Boy a home by Easter!!! He'd look really cute in bunny ears.

Penny Finds A Home!

Guess who found a forever home - Me! This week I adopted these cute boys and their family. Meet my new best friends JJ and Brogan. Aren't they cute. I knew when I saw their faces that I would adopt them. I mean could you pass up this kind of cuteness?

JJ even lets me sleep in his room at night. And he doesn't seem to mind too much when I snore.

Turns out his family is lucky twice over. They were lucky 14 years ago when they got adopted by a former Halifax Humane Society shelter dog named Bubba. I like Bubba. He's very wise and shows me how to have good doggy manners. And this week, my new family, Barb, Josh, JJ and Brogan got lucky again because I adopted them. I think I'm really the lucky one.

I just want to say thank you to my foster family and all of you Plain Brown Dog fans out there who visited the blog, passed along my wish for a family and helped me find such a great home. Keep up the work because there's a whole lot of great Plain Brown Dogs like me out there!

Cold Nights are Perfect for Cuddling

The night time temperatures have been very cold lately. I'm lucky because I have this soft warm coat. But my foster mom gets chilly. So I came up with a solution - Plain Brown Dog blanket!

Is this what she meant when she said I was a lap dog? If you're looking for a warm snuggle, I can help with that. 

Gotta Treat?

Hey, gotta treat for this Plain Brown Dog?

Forget the Milkbone. I'd rather have a forever home!

Penny & Kids - a match made in heaven!

I wuv kids!

And kids wuv me!

Day 4

It's been 4 days since I landed at my foster home. I've become quite fond of this brown couch and my foster mom says it's OK for me to sleep here during the day. But sometimes I like to sleep under her desk when she works.

I  met a family this past weekend with two kids who were a lot of fun. I'm a fairly young dog and love to play, so kids in a family would be great for me. I'm great at fetch and tug-of-war. Enthusiastic but gentle.
