Flat Coated Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

Ham 🍗
Meet Ham — Part of the Thanksgiving litter… and yes, he’s the main course.
At around 5 months old (March 2026), Ham is possibly a Flat Coat Retriever mix with the personality to match — happy, bouncy, and full of love. Think puppy enthusiasm with a side of Velcro.
He’s done great meeting new people and other dogs. He walks into a room like he’s been invited and fully intends to make friends with everyone there. He’s playful, social, and always ready for the next adventure — as long as it includes you.
✔ Big toy lover
✔ Treat motivated
✔ Professional cuddler
✔ Follows you everywhere (no seriously… everywhere)
Ham is still working on potty training and kennel time. The kennel isn’t his favorite place yet, but he’s learning. What is his favorite? Being petted. Ideally 24/7. Personal space is optional in his world.
He’s got that fun, bouncy energy (very Twila-esque) and would thrive with someone ready for puppy life — consistency, patience, and lots of snuggles.
Important note: He has declared a lifelong feud with the Roomba. The Roomba started it. Probably.
If you’re looking for a shadow with a wagging tail and a heart full of devotion, Ham is ready to serve.
