Labrador Retriever and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption
CHIQUITA
Labrador Retriever, Mixed Breed
🇺🇸
San Diego, California
February 25th
female, medium, adult
DESCRIPTION
Meet Chiquita! This sweet 1-2 year-old lab mix was discovered wandering the streets of Mexico as a stray. Now safe in foster care, this petite lady weighs around 32 pounds-though she photographs a lot larger than she is in real life!
Chiquita is a super sweet and cuddly couch potato who just wants to hang out with her people or sunbathe in the yard. She's not a fan of long walks, making her the perfect companion for someone seeking a loyal, low-key girl who's happy to relax by their side. She does wonderfully while her foster parents are away, though sometimes she'll drag one of their shoes or sweaters into her bed to cuddle (don't worry-she doesn't chew on them!). Chiquita is crate, leash, and house trained, and does well in an apartment setting.
Chiquita is friendly with other dogs as long as they're calm and not high-energy or in-your-face types-she's a lowkey kind of girl. She would thrive in a home with children aged 10 and older, as she prefers to avoid the unpredictable energy of younger kids. It's believed that Chiquita experiences some side effects of meningitis with a shaky leg, but this doesn't prevent her from enjoying a vibrant and joyful life filled with toys, sunshine, and love.
Chiquita is looking for a patient family who will appreciate her gentle, easygoing nature. Could that be you?
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.
