Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Columbia, Illinois

Gunner is a handsome, friendly guy who loves people and is a kid's best friend. He is an active boy who enjoys spending time outdoors, especially chasing tennis balls in the yard. Gunner can get a bit reactive with other dogs through the fence so he would do best as the only dog in the home. He is great at walking long distances and his longest walk so far has been 2.5 miles. He is full of personality and ready to be someone's loyal companion!

Gunner is five years old and weighs 63 pounds. He loves eating frozen blueberries!

The adoption fee for adult dogs, seven months and older, is $250. All pets are microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and will be altered prior to adoption.

If you have an existing dog at home, we recommend bringing it along to meet your possible new family member.
