Terrier and Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Plainfield, Illinois

Teddy is a terrier/lab mix boy with an approximate DOB in early February 2026, and he’s everything you’d hope for in a puppy—happy, curious, and full of joyful energy. He’s at that fun stage where every day brings something new to discover, whether it’s a toy, a new smell, or a cozy spot to nap after playtime.

True to his puppy nature, Teddy loves to play, explore, and learn about the world around him. He’s social and friendly, does great with other dogs, and has shown himself to be wonderful with cats as well. After he’s burned off some energy, he’s more than happy to settle in for cuddles and quiet time with his people.

Teddy would do best in an active home that can keep up with a growing puppy and is home often to help him with training, socialization, and all the guidance puppies need to grow into well-rounded adult dogs. He’d thrive with a family who enjoys walks, playtime, and including their dog in daily life.

If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate puppy who will grow into a loyal companion, Teddy is ready to start his next chapter with you
