Teague Black Labrador Retriever & Hound Mix Rochester, NY

Hello, I'm TEAGUE, a lively and affectionate 6-month-old black Lab-Hound mix. My combination of the loyal Lab and the keen-nosed Hound gives me a unique blend of intelligence, playfulness, and a love for exploration.

Personality: I am brimming with youthful energy and curiosity. I have a friendly and outgoing nature, always ready for playtime or an adventure. My Hound heritage gives me a love for sniffing out new experiences, and my Lab side brings a joyous, loving spirit.

Appearance: My coat is sleek, shiny, and black, with a hint of the Hound's grace in my stance. My ears are a bit long, typical of Hounds, and my eyes are bright and eager, reflecting my enthusiastic personality.

Favorite Activities: I enjoy long walks where I can explore new scents and sights. I love playing fetch, tug-of-war, and exploring new environments. After a day of adventure, I'm all about snuggling up for some affectionate downtime.

Training: I am a quick learner, thanks to my intelligent lineage. I've already started mastering basic commands and am always eager for the next challenge. Treats and praise are the way to my heart and attention during training sessions.

Social Life: I am sociable and enjoy the company of other dogs and humans. (I enjoys dogs while out and about, but I tried living with another dog and am too resource-guardy to have a canine housemate (or kids)). My playful and gentle demeanor makes me a great companion for adult families or individuals looking for a loyal friend.

As a 6-month-old puppy, I'm at the perfect age for bonding with a loving family who can guide me, nurture my talents, and embark on countless adventures with me.

If you're looking for a companion who will bring energy, affection, and a touch of mischief to your life - and have NO other dogs or kids - look no further than me, Teague!

(Teague is available in conjunction with one of our rescue partners down towards NYC, and so we would accept a wider range of distance of applicants for him, especially down in that direction.)

Adoption fee covers: all vetting to age (including deworming, deflea etc ), spay/neuter and microchip after 6 months of age at our clinic, $60 rebate for completion of positive-based training classes, and lifetime support of rescue.

We do most application processing virtually and dog meets will be individually by appointment with ONLY APPROVED APPLICANTS. We are not a shelter and are completely foster-based, so there is no central place to come see all of the dogs available.

PLEASE NOTE: If a dog is listed as Adoptable, he or she is still available at that time. Also, our adoption area is within a several hour radius of us in Rochester, NY (NOT including Canada - sorry!)
