My name is Early Present (just call me Earl)!  I’m a male lab/shepherd mix about 10 weeks old.  My foster mom keeps saying “wow, what big paws I have.”  I suppose that means I’m going to be a big guy, probably around 60-70 pounds.  I am so patient with my little siblings and love to tussle with them.  I’m good with other dogs, even dogs bigger than me, as long as they are nice to me.  I stay away from my foster mom’s cat (she says I’m really smart ‘cause I know my limits).  I’m working hard to be potty trained but still have accidents.  I love to snuggle and play tug-o-war.  I would love a family that had lots of kids to chase and play with, who will take me on long walks, and maybe even hike!  I would love for Santa to bring me a furever family this Christmas!  If you would like an Early Present, please go to  www.rescuerovers.org  to come and see me!  Merry Christmas!
