Attention Lab lovers!
Meet Freyja, a young Labrador Retriever with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Freyja was born September 8, 2025 and is looking for a new home through no fault of her own. Her family’s young daughter is unfortunately suffering from severe allergies, and despite trying many solutions to make things work, they have made the very difficult decision to find Freyja a home where she can stay forever.
At just 6 months old, Freyja is everything people love about Labs. She is playful, affectionate, curious, and full of joyful energy. She loves being part of the action and will thrive with a family who enjoys an active dog and understands the fun and commitment that comes with raising a Labrador puppy.
Freyja absolutely loves kids and has been described as very gentle with them. She enjoys playing and being part of family life, but when the day winds down she turns into a champion cuddle bug who loves to lay her whole body across her people for snuggles.
Some of Freyja’s favorite things include tennis balls, rope toys, chew bones, and her stuffed animal puppy. She is always ready to play and bring the fun wherever she goes.
She already knows several basic commands including sit, stay, come, and drop it. While she has not had any formal training, her family has worked with her at home and she has proven to be very smart and eager to learn. She also has excellent recall and reliably comes when called.
Like many young dogs her age, Freyja is still learning household manners. If toys, trash, or interesting items are left within reach she may investigate, and she has recently discovered the exciting sport of counter surfing. With consistency, guidance, and continued training, these very normal puppy behaviors can improve quickly.
Freyja has not yet met cats, but given her young age she should be able to learn respectful boundaries with proper introductions and supervision.
She is a smart, loving puppy who simply needs a family ready to guide her through the next stages of growing up. With the right home, Freyja will become the loyal, affectionate companion Labrador lovers know and adore.

If interested in meeting and potentially adopting please read the adoption requirements and complete the adoption application located at forbellessake.org.

Adoption fee is $175 and all dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and treated for any known medical needs. Breeds are not guaranteed but often a best guess. Housetraining is not guaranteed but crate training is worked on with all residents. If a yard is present, a secure fence is preferred and prioritized.
