Labrador Retriever and Hound Dogs Available for Adoption

Adoption Fee: $475

When available, all animals are fixed in accordance with Colorado law, up to date on vaccines (may need boosters), and microchipped!

What we know: Transferred from Animal Rescue Friends of Floydada in Clifton, TX, pregnant adult dog, reportedly 2-3 weeks out from delivering puppies (as of Dec 10th)

From the foster: Some dogs are easy. Some dogs are extraordinary for the right person. Mama Sugar is the latter.

After spending the past few months lovingly raising her puppies in foster care, Sugar is finally ready for a family of her own.

Sugar is incredibly affectionate and deeply loyal. She forms strong bonds with the people she trusts and loves being close to her humans. She has a gentle, sensitive soul and thrives in a calm, patient environment where she feels safe.

She is also very athletic with endless energy and absolutely loves long walks, runs, and outdoor adventures. Sugar will do best with an active family who enjoys being outside and can give her the exercise she needs to truly thrive.

Sugar is fully potty trained, respectful inside the home, and does not require a crate. She enjoys having her own chew toys and settles nicely when her exercise needs are met. She is still working on leash manners and is very strong, so she currently walks best using a harness.

Sugar absolutely loves people, including children, but she is still learning about personal space and can get very excited when greeting or playing. Because she is strong and enthusiastic, she may accidentally knock over smaller children, so she would do best with older or sturdy kids or adults who can help continue teaching calm greetings.

Sugar also has a natural instinct to chase moving animals, so she will need a home without cats or other small animals.

Her ideal home would include:
An active household
A secure fenced yard
No cats or small animals
Older or sturdy kids due to her enthusiastic greetings

Sugar can be unsure around men, loud voices, or sudden dramatic movements, so a calm and understanding family will help her continue building confidence.

This special girl has clearly been through a lot in her life, but her heart is full of love and she continues to blossom more every day in foster care.

With the right family, Sugar will be an incredibly devoted companion and loyal best friend.
