My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Pickles!

A playful three-and-a-half-year-old Labrador Retriever currently in Bogue, NC, whose heart is as big as her 90-pound, chocolate-brown frame and who’s absolutely convinced she’s a lap dog.

Pickles is the kind of girl who brings instant smiles and goofy grins wherever she goes! She's got a quirky charm and a joyful spirit that shines through, especially when she’s galloping after a rope toy or splashing in the water, just make sure you’re joining her, because she’s all about shared adventures! Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood or a swim in the lake, if you're in, she’s in!

Though she might start off a bit shy, especially around new faces or loud noises, a little patience, a tasty treat, and a belly rub are all it takes to unlock her affectionate, loyal nature. Pickles is food-motivated, eager to please, and knows the basics like "sit" and "come." While she hasn’t had formal obedience training, her sweet, eager-to-connect personality makes her a great candidate for positive reinforcement and maybe even a few fun training classes.

Pickles is both house- and crate-trained, and does well when left alone for short periods. She's known to be friendly with other dogs and young children, and would likely thrive in a home with a canine playmate to bounce around with. As for cats, she hasn’t had much experience, but with slow, supervised introductions, she might just become their new curious friend.

What truly makes Pickles unforgettable is her desire to be close, curled up beside you on the couch, nudging your hand for a belly rub, or just quietly watching the world go by at your side. She's affectionate, slightly stubborn in the most endearing way, and ready to offer her new family a daily dose of laughter, love, and loyal companionship.

Could your home be the one where Pickles can continue spreading joy and maybe find a lap or two to cuddle up in?

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our ultimate goal is to unite as many animals with loving pet parents as possible, so we strive to make it easy to adopt a dog or cat you have fallen in love with. All we ask is that you fill out an adoption application so that we have all the information we need to determine that you'll be able to provide a safe and compassionate home to one of our rescued pets.
