Rachel - Beagle and Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in La Grange, Kentucky

When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year... you could probably use a pup to cheer you up!

Chandler, Joey, Rachel, and Ross are sweet, snuggly, and full of fun. While they're making the best of shelter life, we'd much rather see these babies spending the best months of puppyhood with loving families of their own.

We've labeled the Friends pups as Beagle/Labrador Retriever mixes thanks to their Lab-like coats and builds, though those long little snouts and floppy ears definitely hint at some hound in the mix, too. At just 4-months-old, they're at such a fun and important stage of life. Each puppy will come altered, up-to-date on vaccinations, on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention, and with a puppy starter kit to help them settle into their new homes. Trainer Jim Kats of Micky's House also offers free puppy training with each adoption.

Rachel is the only female of the Friends pups, and she's also the smallest of the bunch at just 15.6 pounds. Rachel is almost entirely black, and the easiest way to tell her apart from her brother Chandler is by her ears. Rachel's ears are smaller and stand a bit higher, while Chandler sports those long, droopy hound ears.

Rachel's favorite activity is splashing around in our kiddie pools. If you want a natural water dog, this is your pup!

These pups are at the perfect age for training, socialization, and learning household routines. With proper introductions and guidance, they should do wonderfully in homes with other dogs, cats, and children alike. They're ready to soak up love, structure, and all the adventures puppyhood has to offer.
