OREO - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 550. Meet Oreo! Lab Mix | Born ~May 17 | 9.5 lbs Oreo is a sweet, high-energy lab mix puppy with a playful spirit and a heart that melts when he's held. At around 9 weeks old, he’s already showing signs of being a loving, loyal companion who enjoys one-on-one time with his people. While Oreo is still working on potty training (he's currently using potty pads), he’s a smart little guy who’s crate-friendly—he voluntarily goes in to sleep at night without needing the gate closed. He’s still learning the ropes of living in a home and will need continued training, including help with barking, which we’re already working on. Oreo thrives on activity but is also calmer than his brother and enjoys snuggling up for quiet moments. He would do well with an active adopter who can give him attention, structure, and plenty of playtime—plus a cozy lap to curl up in when it’s time to recharge. He can be mouthy so we think he would do best in homes with kids 8 and older and an active family ready to take him on all kinds of adventures.
