Gabe - Black Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Franklin, Tennessee

Meet Gabe

Gabe is part of our Love Island litter, and he’s the sweetest little cuddle bug!

While he certainly enjoys all the typical puppy fun, Gabe has a particularly soft side. He loves to cuddle and soak up affection from his people, making him the perfect little companion for someone who wants a puppy who will happily snuggle up after playtime.

Gabe is:

-Sweet and affectionate
-A big fan of cuddles
-Playful and full of puppy energy
-Social with his puppy siblings
-Curious and learning about the world
-All things puppy with an extra dose of sweetness

Like any puppy, Gabe will need continued socialization, potty training, basic manners, enrichment, and training as he grows. He’ll need a family prepared for the fun (and occasional chaos) that comes with raising a puppy.

But if you're looking for a puppy who will happily trade a little playtime for a spot next to you on the couch, Gabe might be your perfect match.
