Story
Luke is a beautiful Retriever mix who made the trip all the way from Louisiana to find his new family! This sweet boy is just 7 months old, so he’s still very much a puppy at heart—full of energy, curiosity, and love to give. Luke is a friendly and affectionate pup who enjoys spending time with people and soaking up attention. He’s playful, fun-loving, and always ready for an adventure, whether that’s going for walks, playing with toys, or exploring the world around him. Being a young dog, Luke is still learning his manners and will benefit from continued training as he grows. Luke’s sweet personality and eager-to-please nature should help him settle nicely into a variety of homes that are ready for the joys (and fun!) of raising a young pup. If you’re looking for a loving, playful dog to grow with your family, Luke may be the perfect addition to your home! Ready to Adopt?

Story
This good looking boy is Coco. He is a silly sweet young man who loves hanging out with his friends. Coco enjoys going on walks, playing with toys and romping in the snow. His favorite pastime is to play with other dogs. The thing is, Coco can be nervous with new people, places or routines. He is so much braver when he has a dog buddy. It is actually recommended that Coco go home to live with a mature role model dog. Possibly, this sweet boy could also live with a cat starting with complete separation. And children who can respect a shy dog might also work. Coco has been working hard on his manners here at the shelter and would love to continue. He is also hoping that his adopters will keep his world small and safe as he acclimates to his new life.Coco is a really nice dog looking for a family of his own. Does he sound like the dog for you?

Story
**Teka is a courtesy posting for our friends at Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue, so please reach out to adopt@yggr.org to apply!** +Teka is a 52 lb Golden-Hearted Retriever Mix+ Stop everything you’re doing and watch me sprint around the yard! Hi! I’m Teka, and I’m SO excited to tell you about myself! If I had to describe myself in three words, I’d say: goofy, rambunctious, and full of life! Okay, that last one wasn’t really one word—but hey, I’m a dog, not an English major! All I’m trying to say is that I LOVE running around and being as wiggly as possible. Zoomies are one of my favorite activities! After I burn off some energy, I’m happy to settle in for a cuddle and soak up all the love. I’m a big fan of toys—maybe a little too big of a fan. I like to destroy them and sometimes try to eat the pieces, so durable toys and hard bones are the way to go for me. I’m great at entertaining myself once I’ve got something sturdy to chew on! People are another one of my favorite things. I love attention, pets, and snuggling with my human friends. I enjoy being the center of affection, but I can also share my space with energetic, dog-savvy dogs who match my playful style and understand my enthusiasm. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, wiggly girl who brings big energy, big laughs, and big cuddles, I might just be your perfect match. What do you think? I sound pretty amazing, right? What I Need in a Forever Home: +A home with energetic, dog-savvy dogs or as an only dog +An active home that enjoys play, zoomies, and cuddles +An adopter who loves a goofy, attention-loving companion **Teka is a courtesy posting for our friends at Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue, so please reach out to adopt@yggr.org to apply!**
