Thunder (Jasmine's Puppy) (Photos August 16th 2026) (In Foster C - Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Marietta, Ohio

Thunder is a handsome male Labrador Retriever mix who was born in foster care on May 29th 2026 when his mother (Jasmine) gave birth to Thunder and his ten brothers/sisters. Thanks to a fantastic foster mother for offering Jasmine the hospitality of her home earlier that day so that Jasmine could raise her babies in a nice home environment instead of in a crowded shelter setting.

This little man has a sleek black coat with white markings on his chest, white paws, a long tail, and an adorable puppy face with innocent/hopeful brown eyes, a narrow white stripe on his forehead, a dusting of white of his slender muzzle, and large floppy ears.

Thunder has a sweet playful personality and was a pleasure to photograph while he posed beautifully for his 'big boy' pictures on August 16th.

Thunder was given first vaccines on July 19th 2026. He was given booster vaccines on August 2nd and August 16th 2026. Thunder weighed 18 lbs on August 2nd.

Thunder and his siblings will be neutered/spayed before they are officially adopted (a requirement for HSOV adoptions to be finalized), but they are available to foster or foster-to-adopt while they await those surgical procedures.

Please complete/submit an HSOV foster/adoption application for approval if you would like to give one (or more) of these awesome puppies a loving home.
