Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

Dog Name: Maddie G

Breed: Lab Mix

Sex: Female

Age: 4-5 years old

Weight: 67

Medical Needs: None.

Housebroken: Yes. No accidents in the home or crate. Will go to the door when she needs to go out.

Need a fenced in yard: No, but I'm sure we would love it.

If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? Nope

Cat Friendly? Yes, with slow intros with dog savvy cats.

Kid Friendly: Yes

If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? 10 and up. She's being fostered with a 16 year old and she absolutely loves him.

Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? If happiness had four legs and a wiggle butt, it would be Maddie G. This super affectionate sweetheart greets every human as her new BFF. Maddie is the perfect mix of playful goofball and professional snuggle consultant. She lives for toy time — especially stuffy or a ball. After playtime she'll happily plop down with a Benebone for some serious chew-and-chill vibes or just snuggle up next to her person. She's a very smart girl who genuinely wants to make her people proud. She already knows commands like sit and down, and she's working on place. She listens well to corrections and thrives with structure and clear boundaries. Maddie G is truly an all-around good girl with a heart full of love and a deep desire to be close to her people. Her dream home? One with guidance, consistency, and humans who are ready for daily doses of joy, affection, and enthusiastic greetings.
