Meet Huckleberry!

A spirited two-and-a-half-year-old Mastiff/Labrador Retriever mix currently in Edmond, OK, whose essence is a whirlwind of joy wrapped in a sturdy white and gray frame and powered by endless enthusiasm.

Huckleberry is a big-hearted, big-footed goofball who lives for fun, fresh air, and friends! We’re talking high-octane fetch sessions, tug-of-war tournaments, and “keep away” games that will keep you on your toes (and laughing out loud!). He’s also a big fan of car rides and pup cups, just say the word and he’s leaping in the back seat like a seasoned road tripper. People? He adores them! Kids over seven? Absolutely! He’s happiest when surrounded by love, play, and plenty of activity.

At 60 pounds of pure lovable energy, Huckleberry thrives on structure and routine. He’s house and crate trained, knows commands like sit, heel, stay, and wait, and completed several weeks of training at K9 University. He’s a quick learner and will work for treats every time, though he may test your consistency now and then.

Huckleberry enjoys the company of other dogs with slow, proper introductions, but would also be perfectly content soaking up all the attention as the only pet. He’s lived with cats before, his playful nature and size can be a bit much for them, so gentle introductions are a must. His energy can sometimes overwhelm smaller animals, but his intentions are as pure as they come.

He’s a strong jumper, so a fenced yard is a must. He needs plenty of exercise and stimulation to keep his mind and muscles happy. Touching his paws makes him a bit uneasy, so patient, low-key vet visits are best.

Are you ready to welcome a goofy, loyal, and utterly lovable companion into your life?

Huckleberry is also open to a foster home, so if you're not ready to adopt but still want to make a difference, fostering could be a perfect fit.
