Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

Benny is sweet as can be! He loves everyone he meets. You can't help but fall in love with his happy-go-lucky personality and big puppy dog eyes. He has a great balance of fun/playful energy, but also loves a long nap and cuddle on the couch. He is excellent at relaxing in the house, crate, car, and fenced outdoor areas. He has learned basic cues like sit, down, and stand. For a dog that seemingly never lived in a house, he is very teachable and adaptable. He doesn't chew inappropriate things. He doesn't bark too often. He doesn't resource guard. He doesn't have any signs of reactivity or anxiety toward anything or anyone. He will only need continued structure around kitchen spaces, but a kitchen that can be gated off while he works on training would be perfect.
Adoption Process


If you are ready to meet the pet, please fill out an online adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your internet browser: https://www.petstablished.com/adoption_form/10666/generic
Once your application is submitted, we will contact the vet reference provided. If you do not yet have a vet, please provide three personal references – these could be family and friends who can attest to your pet parenting skills.
A volunteer will schedule a phone interview with you. The interview and application help our fosters find their forever home by ensuring a good match.
The Louisa Humane Society does not have a brick and mortar facility, so all of our pets are in foster care. Once approved, the foster parent will reach out to arrange a visit. The foster family can tell you all about her likes, dislikes, and little quirks.
The application and visit do not oblige you to adopt, but if you're ready to take the pet home as your furry forever friend, the adoption fee is $150
