Labrador Retriever and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption
HARRIET
Labrador Retriever, Mixed Breed
🇺🇸
Monticello, Iowa
February 13th
female, medium, baby
DESCRIPTION
Harriet has a sleek short black coat, adorable perky ears, and eyes that are constantly taking in the world around her. Exploring is her favorite hobby, and she approaches life nose-first—she loves to sniff all people, places, and things to make sure she knows exactly what’s going on.
She can be a little shy when meeting new people at first. You might notice her wiggly butt and happy tail wagging while she takes a moment to build confidence, but once she gets a sniff and decides you’re a friend, she’s all in and sweet as can be. Harriet is affectionate, gentle, and eager to connect.
This girl adores other dogs of all sizes and will happily jump into playtime with anyone willing. While she enjoys chewing on toys, wrestling with her dog friends is her absolute favorite activity. True to her Lab roots, Harriet is energetic, playful, and always ready for fun. She also has a bit of a velcro-dog side and loves following her people from room to room, just to be close.
Harriet is still a puppy, so potty training, crate training, and manners are works in progress, but she’s learning and will thrive with consistency and patience. She does wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and kids, making her a great fit for many different types of homes.
If you’re looking to welcome home a quintessential Lab girl—full of affection, playfulness, curiosity, and heart—Miss Harriet is ready to steal yours.

ABOUT: LABRADOR RETRIEVER DOG BREED
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.
