4/6/2021 UPDATE: Diggs arrived safely to CLR two days ago. Check back soon for an update!
Hi everybody…I’m Diggs! I’m 8 months old and weigh 41lbs. My sister and I arrived to Cincinnati Lab Rescue together after we were found stray in Marshall, KY. I’m a little bigger (and braver!) than Chica, but we’re still on the small side as far as Labs go.
Our volunteers had a chance to get Diggs and his sister out of the kennel shortly after they arrived. He is SUCH a sweet boy! It’s difficult to gauge his full personality at this point; understandably, he’s still a little timid meeting humans. However, Diggs was more active than his sister and showed more interest in exploring his surroundings. Just like his Chica, he seems to be a cuddler and loved getting comfy for some snuggles!
We’ve been told that Diggs is friendly with other dogs. Given he’s both a puppy and a stray, he will require basic training. He was no paws on the ground (something we do to prevent puppies from picking up germs before they’re fully vaccinated!) so we weren’t able to see how he does on a leash, but with his smaller size and temperament we think he’ll be very manageable to walk and will learn quickly. We don’t know at this point whether Chica and Diggs are bonded siblings, but you can tell Chica looks to Diggs for confidence. We imagine they’ll adapt if adopted separately but would also be a great match for a family looking to add two dogs to their pack.
