Meet Earl, a 7-year-old male Labrador Retriever mix weighing 70 pounds. He’s a gentle giant who would love to find a home of his very own. He has a solid black coat with droopy ears and flecks of grey on his muzzle. He’s an older guy who loves eating yummy treats, curling up on cozy beds and adores head and ear scratches. Due to his age, he’s looking for a home without stairs so he doesn’t have to struggle to get around too much. He would love to curl up on the couch, watch movies and read books with his new family. If you’re looking for a laidback senior guy to spend time with, he’s the one for you. Earl is waiting to meet you at the SPCA of Texas’ Jan-Rees Jones Animal Care Center in Dallas.
