Labrador Retriever and Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Valveeta!

Just over a year old and already a total main character. This Lab mix is equal parts spunk and cuddles — high energy, big love, zero dull moments.

She’s great with kids, obsessed with other dogs, and ready to roll at a moment’s notice. Cats? Not her vibe.

Walks? Let’s go.
Car rides? Shotgun.
Adventure? Obviously.

She knows her basics (sit, stay), is fully potty trained, crate trained, and 100% ride-or-die once you’re her person.

If you want a loyal sidekick with personality, spark, and just the right amount of sass... Valveeta’s waiting.

Adoption fee is $360
