Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

Hi, I’m Ilya!

I was born around November 7th, 2025, and I’m a male Lab mix expected to grow to about 40-50 pounds of cuddly, playful charm. I’m still a puppy, so I’ve got that perfect mix of curiosity, sweetness, and just a little bit of mischief.

You might be wondering about my story. I had a bit of a tough start—I was found with my siblings alone in a warehouse. Thankfully, kind humans stepped in and showed us what love and safety feel like. Now I’m thriving in foster care and ready to find a forever family of my very own.

I’m an adorable, patient little guy who is very affectionate, very cuddly, and very playful. I love playing with my foster dog sibling, stretching out in the sunshine, and enjoying all the best puppy things—treats, toys, and mealtime (my personal favorite). I have moderate energy, which means I’m always up for fun but also happy to relax when the day winds down.

I’m crate trained (go me!), and I’m still working on potty training—I’m trying my best and improving with consistency. I don’t have much leash experience yet, but I’m young and eager to learn. I’m also extremely social, enjoy car rides, and sometimes like going out and about to explore the world.

My ideal home would have a yard, preferably another dog to be my playmate, and humans who can be around during the day to keep me company as I continue learning and growing. While I can be pretty independent for a puppy, I still love having my people close by.

A few things that make me special:

• Very cuddly & affectionate – snuggles are kind of my thing
• Playful & social – I love dogs, people, and fun
• Patient & sweet – I take new things in stride

If you’re looking for a loving, playful puppy with a heart full of affection and a sunny personality to match, I just might be your perfect match.

My adoption fee is $550, which includes my spay, microchip, and vaccinations. Apply to adopt me at www.thecantufoundation.org
