Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Trout — a one-year-old silver Lab with a heart as big as his zoomies and a personality that’s pure sunshine.

This bouncy, goofy, lovable boy is all about fun and good vibes. Whether he’s trotting proudly with his favorite toy, leaning in for full-body hugs, or turning every walk into a joyful adventure, Trout lives life at maximum enthusiasm. He’s the kind of dog who makes ordinary days feel like a celebration.

Because Trout is still a young, oversized puppy who hasn’t quite figured out how big he is, he’s looking for an active family with older kids who can keep up with his playful energy and appreciate his exuberant affection. He’d thrive with people who enjoy outdoor time, games in the yard, and plenty of chances to burn off his happy wiggles.

If you’re ready for a loyal sidekick, a daily dose of laughter, and a whole lot of love, Trout is ready to dive right into your heart.
