Shelter Pet of the Week: Licorice
MEET LICORICE!
Found as a stray, Licorice, a five-year-old Collie/Labrador mix, was taken to a local town shelter. Unfortunately, he was not microchipped and no one came forward to claim him until Little Shelter Animal Rescue and Adoption Center in Huntington offered him a second chance in February of 2023. Now with us for well over a year, Licorice sadly remains overlooked.
Discovering early on that Licorice is very receptive to training, the staff began to teach him simple commands such as, sit, stay, leave it, and paw, which he quickly mastered. Also excelling at agility training, this 52 pound fellow is deceptively light on his feet. He loves to run, go on walks, and is skilled at the game of fetch, happiest when active and engaged.
With so little known about Licorice’s past life or the challenges he may have faced, he requires an experienced adopter. Recognized to be dog reactive and demonstrating a high prey drive, he needs to be celebrated as the only four-legged family member in his future home. As a trade-off, he will be all you could ask for: intelligent, adventurous, and an unfailingly loyal friend and companion. An added bonus? Licorice is known to have health benefits and acts as an antioxidant…we call this a win-win!
Rescue dogs are hidden treasures just waiting to shine. At Little Shelter, they believe that Licorice’s perfect forever home lies just around the corner with a person(s) as special as he is…
If you can’t adopt right now, you can still help by sharing Licorice’s story.
“Life always offers you a second chance. It’s called tomorrow.
