Labrador Retriever and Beagle Dogs Available for Adoption in Schenectady, New York

Hi… I’m Mo (but my friends call me Mr. Moo).


I’m a 2-year-old Retriever mix, and I have a secret: once I trust you, I’ll never let you out of my sight. I came from a scary past and battled two tick-borne illnesses, but my foster home has changed everything. I’ve gone from a dog who was too afraid to step forward to a total "Velcro dog" who just wants to be wherever you are.

The Highlights
✅ House Hero: I’m both crate trained and potty trained!
🎓 Smart Cookie: I already know my basic commands and am very treat-motivated.
🦴 Perfect Roommate: I’m not destructive at all—I’m happiest just chilling with my favorite bones.
🌟 Gentle Soul: I’m affectionate, incredibly lovable, and a low-maintenance, laid-back guy.

My Social Life: I’m getting braver every single day! While I may take a minute to warm up to new faces, once I’m "all in," I’m your loyal sidekick for life.
Dog Friends: I enjoy the company of other dogs (especially those with similar play styles) and would love a relaxed female canine companion to hang out with.
Human Friends: I’d do best in a home with older kids who can respect my journey and give me a little structure.

My Ideal Home:
I’m looking for a patient family who appreciates a loyal companion always nearby. I don’t need constant high-energy activity; I just want to continue learning how great life can be—whether that’s a walk outside or a cozy night on the rug by your feet.

I’ve overcome sickness and I’ve conquered fear. Now, I’m just a gentle, devoted buddy looking for my "forever."
