HI Hi HI!!! So SO nice to meet you! My name is Hammy! Did you see my cute ears? Just making sure! I'm around 8 years old and have a body shaped like a potato which most people find VERY cute. I am good with dogs (fostered with a dog), Love walks, balls, and howling at sirens. I am a VERY good boy. I cannot wait to meet you! *please note All of our dogs are in private foster homes. Once you fill out an application it will be screened by our volunteer adoption team. From there, if your application looks like a good fit for the particular dog, it will be sent to the foster where you can ask all the questions you would like and schedule a meet and greet.
🧠 Temperament
I am good with dogs (fostered with a dog), Love walks, balls, and howling at sirens. Friendly, people-focused and famously food-motivated, which makes training straightforward.
🎾 Exercise
High needs — 60-90 minutes daily. Labs love retrieving and swimming, and an under-exercised Lab tends to get mouthy and destructive.
✂️ Grooming
Short double coat that sheds heavily year-round and more in spring and fall. Weekly brushing helps a lot.
🏙️ In an LA apartment
Can do well in an apartment if genuinely exercised. Size and shedding are the main constraints; most are elevator- and crowd-tolerant.
