Ethel - Labrador Retriever and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Atlanta, Georgia

Hi there! I'm Ethel, a happy-go-lucky puppy who's always ready for my next adventure. I have the perfect mix of playful energy and cuddle time, so whether we're running around the yard or relaxing after a fun day, I'll be right by your side.

One of my favorite times of the day is mealtime-I get so excited that I can barely contain myself while my food is being prepared! I also love squeaky toys, chewing on just about anything (I'm still learning what's actually okay to chew), and practicing fetch with my tennis ball. If there's a game to play, count me in!

I spent time in a foster home with my sister, Lucy, and an elderly Labrador. I loved chasing Lucy around the yard, and I have a funny little habit of waiting for her to fish an ice cube out of the water bowl... then swooping in to steal it for myself! It's all part of the fun.

I'm excited to meet new people and absolutely love attention. If you stop to pet me, I'll happily soak up every bit of affection you have to offer.

I'm making great progress with my house training. I sleep through the night in my crate as long as I get one last potty break before bed, and I'm learning that going outside is the right place to do my business. I do need a potty break pretty soon after dinner, so a family willing to keep me on a routine will help me continue to succeed.

My dream family is active, patient, and excited to help me grow into the amazing dog I'm meant to be. I'll bring plenty of laughs, puppy kisses, and joy along the way-I can't wait to meet you! ...

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.
