Story
Meet Velvet 💕
Velvet is a big, beautiful black Lab mix with a heart the size of Texas. She's up for adoption in the Lone Star State.
This loving girl is estimated to be around 3–4 years old, and while we don’t know much about her life before coming to Lucky Lab, it’s clear she’s been through a lot. When she arrived, Velvet had recently had a litter of puppies and showed signs of having had a rough start. Thanks to excellent care and plenty of love, she's healed, and her puppy days are over. She is now spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Now Velvet is ready for her forever home.
Velvet currently lives with an active foster family that includes two teenage boys and three other female dogs, and she thrives as part of the pack. She loves being with her people and has two favorite pastimes: snuggling and adventuring.
Couch snuggles, bed snuggles, side-by-side snuggles—Velvet is all in. She’s the kind of dog who presses her whole body against you and soaks up every bit of affection. If a dog on the couch or bed isn’t your thing, Velvet probably isn’t your match—but if you’re looking for a true cuddle companion, she’s your girl.
She also enjoys getting outside and is a superb walking and hiking partner. Velvet walks beautifully on a leash, loves being active with her family, and is always up for an outing. She adores swimming too—while she may not retrieve, she happily swims alongside another dog who does, just enjoying the water and the company.
When Velvet first came to Lucky Lab, car rides were scary for her. She would try to hide rather than get in. With time, patience, and lots of positive experiences, she’s made huge progress. She’s still a bit hesitant about getting into the car, but once she’s in, she’s an excellent traveler—curling up and sleeping for most of the ride. She’s even become a camping enthusiast with her foster family.
Velvet is kennel trained and does very well staying crated when her family is away, making her an easy and trustworthy companion in the home.
When Velvet meets new people, she is gentle and kind, though a bit shy at first. She’ll accept pets politely but may seem reserved until she feels safe. With her own family, her true personality shines—confident, affectionate, and deeply devoted. Velvet is looking for an adopter who will be patient as they introduce her to new people and new situations.
In return, Velvet offers unwavering loyalty, endless affection, and a whole lot of love. She’s ready to spend the rest of her life being cherished—and she can’t wait to find the family who will do just that. 🖤
