Raleigh is a big, goofy, galoot who has found himself in need of a new home. He is friendly and extremely lovable. He adores people and enjoys playing, as well as snuggling. Although his owners love him very much, they are unable to keep him as he has some training needs that they are unable to meet.
Raleigh is looking for an individual or family who is very dog savvy and understands what it means to practice benevolent leadership. He does best when rewarded for his good behavior with lots of praise and treats. He does not do well when training includes physical punishment. Raleigh will do best in a household where the rules and expectations are consistent. Knowing what is expected and having that reinforced helps him remain calm and in control.
Although Raleigh likes playing with other dogs, he would do best in a home where he is the only pet, as he needs to learn more about sharing in general. Raleigh needs daily exercise to expend excess energy and relieve stress. He LOVES to go for long walks and needs someone who can make a commitment to working with him on all of his training needs and what it means to be a canine good citizen.
If you are a calm, confident person with the ability to meet Raleigh’s needs, please contact Becky by email at becky_cosby@yahoo.com for more information.

There are always many, many purebred Labs, Goldens, and other retrievers as well as retriever mixes available at the CACC (Centers for Animal Control and Care) in NY. These shelters hold hundreds of dogs at any given time. Often, these dogs are euthanized within days of their arrival. Unfortunately, NEARR does not always have room for these dogs and we are lacking volunteers in this area. These wonderful dogs need your help!
