Black Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Killingworth, Connecticut

Meet Ripley #7 — a 5-year-old, 50 lb Black Lab with the sweetest soul. She may be a little shy at first but, once she trusts you, she becomes incredibly loyal and loving. Ripley still has a playful side and enjoys games of chase with other dogs, especially her foster sibling! She’s house-trained and crate-trained, and while she’s still learning the ropes with a harness and leash, she’s making progress every day. Ripley does great with other dogs and has even enjoyed time with her foster’s mom’s pups. She loves toys, especially antlers, and would thrive in a patient home where she can continue to build confidence and be your devoted companion.
