Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

Shaq may be a small guy, but he has a big personality and an even bigger heart. He’s playful, fun-loving, and always ready to toss around his favorite toys or romp with his brother. His happy energy makes everyday life a little more entertaining.

Shaq is also a sensitive, expressive pup who isn’t shy about letting you know when he wants a cuddle, a treat, or a little extra attention. He’s gaining confidence more each day and continues to come out of his shell. Shaq would thrive in a loving home that offers patience, encouragement, and plenty of affection for a small, playful companion who bonds closely with his people.

Currently in a foster home in Chattanooga, TN, and available for transport to a number of locations within the continental United States.
Please note: We are unable to adopt to residents of Massachusetts at this time.
