Black Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Killingworth, Connecticut

Lily is a 1 yr old, 45 lb black lab with a happy-go-lucky personality and the cutest, most expressive face. She came into the shelter with her sister, Iris #10, and brings a little extra sunshine everywhere she goes. Lily is crate trained and house trained, rides great in the car, and is always ready for her next little adventure. She can be a bit timid on a leash, but she's learning and gaining confidence each day. She plays best with her sister and one-on-one with other dogs as too many at once can make her nervous. Lily is very treat motivated and eager to please and she has a silly, goofy side that will keep you smiling. If you're looking for a sweet, lovable, slightly goofy girl who will shower you with kisses and brighten you days, Lily might be your perfect match!
