Pineapple - Labrador Retriever and Terrier Dog for Adoption in Plainfield, Illinois

Meet Pineapple Upside Down Cake – "Pineapple" for short!

Estimated date of birth: mid-May 2026

Weight: 18 lbs (and still growing!)

Pineapple is as sweet as his name! This handsome boy is sleek black with a white chest, white toes, and a little white tip on his tail. He's all long legs and a long, happy tail, so he may have some growing left to do.

Pineapple is a super sweet pup who loves other dogs. Playtime with his canine friends is one of his favorite things, so he would do best in a home with another playful dog to keep him company and help teach him good manners.

Like most puppies his age, Pineapple is going through a mouthy phase and is very nippy right now. He'll need an adopter who is ready to keep up with consistent, positive-reinforcement training to help him learn better ways to play. Because of this, we're looking for a home with children 8 years and older.

He's doing great with his house training! Pineapple goes potty outside and will let you know when he needs to go. If you miss his cue, he'll use a pee pad. He's also a champ in his crate and sleeps through the night from about 10:30 pm to 6:30 am.

Pineapple is still dealing with some itchy skin, along with some missing fur on his right ear and a few spots on his body. His foster family is keeping an eye on it, and his adopter should be prepared to continue following up with their vet as needed.

Pineapple would do best with:
A home with another playful dog, children 8 and older, and an adopter committed to positive puppy training.
