Story
Hi, I'm Bella Grey, a 5-month-old purebred silver retriever pup looking for my forever family! I have a pedigree and everything! 🐕 I'm a big, beautiful girl with an even bigger personality! I'm incredibly loving and affectionate, and although I'm getting bigger by the day, nobody has had the heart to tell me that I'm not actually a lapdog. If there's an available lap, I'll happily try to fit myself into it! I'm a smart girl, too! I'm very food-and treat-motivated, which makes training fun for both of us. I already know sit, down, place/bed, and I can even heel on a leash when you've got some tasty motivation handy. I'm also crate-trained and housebroken. I've only had a couple of accidents in the house, and I'm very good about letting you know when I need to go outside. One of my FAVORITE things in the world is fetch! Throw a toy for me and I'll chase it down-and yes, I actually bring it back! I love toys of every description. If it's a toy, I'm interested. When I'm ready for a little downtime, I have another favorite pastime: watching TV! Apparently I'm a girl with varied interests. I'm still a puppy, so I have LOTS of energy and enthusiasm for life. I can be exuberant and I will need a family committed to continuing my training and giving me plenty of exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation. But underneath all that puppy energy is an exceptionally loving girl who wants to be close to her people. I'm looking for a family who wants more than just a dog. I'm ready to be your cuddle buddy, fetch partner, TV-watching companion, and adventure sidekick. Could I be your girl?

Story
PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.8/31/26 Carl We have 2 Golden Retriever/Lab mix pups still available. These babies are about 3 1/2 months old. They are wonderful, smart, sweet natured boys! Their mom is a Golden Retriever and dad is a black lab. Gary has a slightly longer coat, while Carl has a more smooth coat and a white patch on his chest. Both are equally gorgeous and such good natured babies. Dont miss out on these guys! It’s not often that we know who mom and dad are when we take puppies into the rescue. These puppies are the perfect mix! Located in Arkansas and can be adopted locally, or can transport to the New England area if adopted there. If adopted in New England, adopter will need to pick up (or arrange for a trusted friend/family to pick up) on a Saturday in MD, PA, NJ, or CT.
