Black Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Killingworth, Connecticut

🐾 HOW TO ADOPT: The fastest way to start is to submit an adoption application directly (labs4rescue.com/adopt). Please use our official website rather than the Petfinder "Start your Inquiry" button.

Sully #12 is a handsome 3-year-old, 50-pound black Lab mix with a gentle heart and an affectionate personality. This sweet boy loves treats, toys, chasing squirrels in the yard, and spending time with his people. He’s especially wonderful with children, gets along great with other dogs, and rarely barks, making him an easy companion to have around the home.

Sully enjoys running in a fenced yard, rides nicely in the car, and is crate trained. He walks extremely well on leash, knows “sit,” and has a loving, soft nature that shines through once he feels comfortable. He currently lives with another dog and does very well sharing his home and space.

Like many young Labs, Sully still needs continued guidance and consistency. He has occasional house-training accidents and can counter surf when unsupervised, so he’ll do best with a patient adopter committed to crate training, providing routine, and using positive reinforcement. With structure, attention, and time, Sully has all the makings of a loyal and devoted family companion.

If you’re looking for a sweet, kid-friendly dog who will reward your patience with lots of love and companionship, Sully may be the perfect match for you.
