Maisee Puddle - Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Princeton, Massachusetts

6/30/2026
Maisee Puddle is an approximately 10-week-old mixed-breed Lab puppy who currently weighs about 14 pounds. She and her siblings were born to a medium-sized yellow Lab mom who is incredibly sweet and did a wonderful job raising her babies. We're happy to report that Maisee inherited her momma's gentle, loving nature.

Like any puppy her age, Maisee's days are filled with eating, playing, exploring, napping, and then doing it all over again! She enjoys playing with her siblings and the other dogs in her foster home and is learning all about the world one adventure at a time.

While some puppies rush headfirst into every new situation, Maisee prefers to take a moment to observe. She can be a little reserved when meeting new people, but once she decides you're a friend, her sweet personality shines through. Before long, she's happily accepting pets, following you around, and soaking up all the attention she can get.

Maisee has a calm, easygoing nature that makes her a joy to have around. She enjoys playtime but is equally happy settling down for a cuddle or a well-earned puppy nap after a busy day. As she continues to grow and build her confidence, we expect her loving personality to blossom even more.

Like all puppies, Maisee will need a family committed to continued training, socialization, and plenty of patience as she grows into adulthood. If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate puppy with a sweet spirit and a loving heart, Maisee Puddle may be the perfect addition to your family.
