Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

Sweetie is a shy, tan Lab mix with the cutest little nub tail and the kind of soft eyes that tell you she’s been through more than she should have. She’s about 1 year old and weighs around 45 pounds—still young, still growing, and still learning what it feels like to truly be safe.

Sweetie enjoys going on walks and does wonderfully with the resident dogs in her foster home. Having other dogs around helps her feel secure, and she takes comfort in following their lead. Cats are still a question mark for her—she isn’t quite sure what to think yet.

It’s likely Sweetie experienced abuse, because she can be fearful around people. But what’s so special about her is how hard she’s trying. In the short time she’s been in foster care, she has already started to slowly come closer, showing small but meaningful signs of trust. With patience, gentle routines, and time, Sweetie will continue to blossom—one day greeting her person the way the confident resident dogs do.

Despite her past, Sweetie is already doing so many things right. She is kennel trained, potty trained, and rides well in the car—especially when the other dogs are with her. She’s a quiet, sensitive soul who is learning that humans can be kind and that home can be a place of comfort.

Sweetie would do best with a calm, understanding home that will let her move at her own pace. A dog-friendly home would be a big plus for her confidence.

Sweetie may be shy, but she is sweet in every sense of the word—and that little tail nub is just the bonus cutest detail. She doesn’t need perfection. She needs someone willing to believe in her. She is spayed, micro-chipped and up to date on vaccines!

Adopt Sweetie, and be the reason she learns to trust again.
