Labrador Retriever and Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

SALLY HAS NOT COMPLETED HER VETTING AND WILL NOT BE SPAYED UNTIL FEBRUARY 5, 2026. APPLICATIONS ARE ONLY BEING ACCEPTED FROM WITHIN A 30 MINUTE RADIUS OF DES MOINES UNTIL AFTER SHE HAS BEEN SPAYED.

Sally is an approximate 3-month-old, 30 lb., Labrador and other Retriever mix. She is a big-dog-in-the-making with a big personality to match. She’s wiggly, friendly, and outgoing, and she loves meeting new people and animals. When she’s not playing, she’s happy to curl up for some snuggles and soak up attention. Sally is doing well with crate training and potty training and is thriving in a foster home with other dogs and cats. She’s also had lots of fun playing with visiting children.

Because she’s expected to grow into a large dog, Sally will need an adopter who’s ready to guide her through puppyhood with patience, structure, and plenty of love. With the right support, she’s going to grow into a joyful, loving companion.

Siblings: Piper (F) Ivy (F) Sally (F) Charlie Brown (M)
