Hound and Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Truffle Pig!

A 57lb, 2-year-old, Hound/Lab mix with a heart as big as her floppy ears. Truffle Pig is wonderfully friendly with people and greets everyone like an old friend. She’s easygoing around other dogs and happy to share space. She’s more interested in people than playthings and would much rather spend time by your side than chase toys.

Her favorite place? Right by her person’s side. Truffle Pig is a loyal shadow who loves staying close, soaking up affection, and quietly being part of whatever you’re doing. If you’re looking for a gentle, people-loving pup who values connection over chaos, Truffle Pig is your girl.
