KLEIN - Labrador Retriever and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Colorado Springs, Colorado

Meet Klein! He loves treats and knows “sit,” though he can be a treat shark, so his new family should work with him on taking treats gently. Klein also enjoys playing with toys. He came to us as a stray with limited history, so we don’t know how he has previously done with children or other animals. While at the shelter, Klein has shown some pushy and overbearing behaviors with other dogs, so any canine friends should be well matched and introduced slowly. Klein also really enjoys his food and may do best being fed separately from other pets to help everyone feel comfortable. Klein is our longest resident and has been in shelter for over a month! I’m currently in a loving foster home offsite! Please contact my foster parent, Molly, at gmftallpines@gmail.com to inquire about me or set up a visit! Please allow up to 24 hours for my foster parent to respond. Inquiries are answered in the order received, and the foster parent will let you know your place in line if there are other interested adopters.

A meet-and-greet is required before adoption. Adopters should be available to meet within 48 hours of inquiring; otherwise, preference may be given to the next person in line who can meet sooner.

For everyone’s safety, current pets are not able to meet the foster animal before adoption.

After the meet-and-greet, you will have 24 hours to visit the HSPPR Adoptions Lobby (11:00am–4:30pm) to complete paperwork and finalize the adoption.

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.
