Labrador Retriever and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

If you’ve been searching for a dog who brings equal parts comedy, chaos, and cuddles... congratulations, you’ve just met Chessie!

This 11-month-old chocolate pitty–lab mix is basically a mug of hot cocoa with legs—lots of legs.Well, three regular legs and one uniquely-styled, old-injury-but-still-fully-functional “custom” leg.Think of it as her signature feature, like a celebrity with a quirky smile. It doesn’t slow her down at all—in fact, you may need a seatbelt just to watch her run.

Energy Level: High

Like... very high.
Like “zoomies powered by espresso” high.
Like “is she part kangaroo?” high.

Chessie knows sit when she wants a treat.She’s a good girl at heart, but she’s going to need consistent obedience training and someone who finds joy in the phrase “we’ll get there.” Ideal Home

A large fenced-in yard where she can unleash her inner track star

Humans who appreciate enthusiasm, goofiness, and a dog who comes with complimentary cardio

Kids 12+ (she loves people, she just might accidentally yeet smaller ones)

No cats, unless your cat is specifically looking to enter a witness protection program. Chessie would be really good in a home with another dog.

She’s affectionate, eager to bond, and has a heart as big as her energy reserves.Yes, she’s a project—like a lovable, wiggly, chocolate-colored fixer-upper—but the kind that pays you back in snuggles, silliness, and unconditional love.

If you’re ready for high-speed hugs, enthusiastic life commentary, and a best friend who thinks you hung the moon, Chessie is ready to meet you! If you are interested in adopting me or another homeless pet at Macomb County Animal Control, walk-in adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 10am-4pm. My adoption fee is sponsored

The Labrador Retriever is a popular and versatile dog breed known for its friendly demeanor and high intelligence. These dogs are often used as guide dogs for the visually impaired, search and rescue dogs, and excellent family pets. Labradors are known for their great sense of smell, strong build, and love of water, making them exceptional hunters and swimmers. With their loyal and loving nature, Labradors have rightfully earned their reputation as one of the most beloved dog breeds in the world.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
