About Urkel
Urkel is a male black Labrador raised in the Assistance Dogs Australia program. He is just over a year old, desexed and is looking for his forever home!
Urkel is a lovable and affectionate boy. He is playful, happy and relaxed in the home. He is a highly intelligent and motivated dog, so he requires mental and physical stimulation. Urkel enjoys training and being challenged, so mental stimulation games and activities will further help him learn and maintain the cues that he has learnt so far.
Although Urkel has shown some great qualities during his time in the Assistance Dogs Australia training program, we have decided that he is not suitable to be placed as an Assistance Dog. Urkel does display some sensitivity issues and can lose focus when in the natural world. This is a common attribute in dogs, however, this can interrupt the working effectiveness of an assistance dog when they are required to support their recipient’s needs.
All Assistance Dogs are accustomed to spending most of their time with humans so Urkel’s ideal person or family would spend a lot of time at home with him. Urkel also thrives on routine. He would love to go to someone who leads a moderate- active lifestyle.
Urkel would do the best in a home in which he is the only animal. Urkel needs to be walked daily and would love to have a yard to play in.
Urkel is a healthy young dog. Vaccinations and parasite protection are up to date. If you think Urkel could be the right dog for you or you have any further questions, please email Denise at dtaylor@assistancedogs.org.au.
