Puppy socialization?

    Hey boardsies :)

    We've just acquired a yellow labrador puppy (I think he's about 15-17 weeks old). He was abandoned but is very well behaved and doesn't seem to have any fear issues whatsoever (besides the usual labrador thing of eating everything he can fit into his jaws)

    Anyway, he's a very social little guy and because we've only got a cat who's not too impressed with him at the minute, I'd love to find him some little doggy friends.

    He's quite exuberant and friendly. He'd suit young, tolerant dogs best just because he's very playful, though he doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He's very good with kids as well so no worries on that front either.

    I'm going to wait until I've had him vaccinated (we have to wait in case he was just vaccinated before he was dumped - small chance but nonetheless) but I just thought I'd try and set something up in the meantime.

    If you're interested, please pm me.

    If you could bring him to the prom in salthill he'd have a great time with people and dogs generally. Failing that I think you said before that you were Renmore side, so maybe one of the big green areas there??

    He's gorgeous btw!!!
