Hound and Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Potomac, Maryland

Meet LATTE! Latte is an adorable 6 month old, 24 pound female tan lab/hound mix! She is sweet, lovable and a champion tall-wagger. She is happy to meet people (of all ages) and does fine with dogs (of all sizes). She has that puppy playfulness but also is adjusting well to home living.

Latte, even though still young, can also chill comfortably when you are busy with your work. She loves playing with her toys and will cuddle with you during quiet times. Latte is smart, but, as with any young dog, she will need to continue with some basic training.

Poor Latte was found with her littermate in rural North Carolina, and no one came to reclaim either of these two young pups! The overcapacity North Carolina shelter made an urgent plea; her littermate was adopted locally and the shelter contacted us about this sweet gal. We were able to bring this extremely sweet dog into PetConnect. Latte is very happy to now be in the DC area to find a forever family that will give her the attention that she deserves and never abandon!

Latte would love to curl up with you to hang out on a spring evening; she loves to cuddle and get pets! She would be an excellent new member of the family and is eager to find a family to love!

***Please note that the first step is to fill out an application (It does not commit you in anyway but allows us to discuss with you if you and the dog are a good fit). In addition, an important step in approving applicants is a vet check to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies ), spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your vet.***

Latte is spayed and up-to-date on vaccines.

The adoption fee for this dog is $425 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter.
