Sweetheart (ID 697217) is an 8-year-old, 59-pound Labrador mix whose world was turned upside down when his family made the difficult decision to surrender him due to a move. After years of knowing the comfort of a home, he’s now left wondering where his people went, and that kind of change is never easy, especially for a loyal companion who gave his heart so fully.
Despite the heartbreak, Sweetheart is living up to his name. What we’ve seen so far is a truly kind, gentle dog who enjoys being around people and does well with older kids. He has a warm, affectionate nature and clearly still has so much love to give.
Sweetheart would do best in a home without cats, and he can be selective with other dogs, so slow introductions or being the only pet may be the best fit for him. What he really wants is a stable, loving home where he can feel safe again and spend his golden years. At 8 years old, Sweetheart isn’t looking for chaos. Just a cozy spot, kind humans, and the reassurance that he won’t be left behind again. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will cherish every moment by your side, Sweetheart is ready to give his heart once more.
