Labrador Retriever puppies and dogs in Utah

Friendly and loyal and affectionate and social and adaptable and trainable and SO smart, all of the things that good dogs are made of! Meet one of the goodest girls in the world, Rita! This stunning girl is suspected to be a Black Lab, Pittie mix. We estimate her to be around 2 years old. Rita is a rescue, so her exact age and breed are unknown to us and cannot be guaranteed. Fall in love with Rita here: https://youtu.be/0ZDJdsrUf_E?feature=shared Rita has all of the makings of a truly GOOD dog. She has an awesome temperament, she’s great with other dogs- so tolerant and playful with them, she’s great at navigating all kinds of doggy interactions. Rita plays with other dogs with joy and abandon… in bursts! She’s quick to take a break after a ten or fifteen minutes of play, a fantastic display of her well balanced energy level. Rita is also a total nature girl- she doesn’t mind getting her paws muddy, and jumped straight into the swimming pool here at the rescue! A total water dog, this girl will be an amazing adventure buddy. Rita is such a people-focused and affectionate girl, but not too pushy about her affection-needs. In Rita’s quest for pets, so far she’s learned that a few things work: rubbing up against your legs, or sitting down between your legs while you’re standing, and gazing up at you with her beautiful big brown doe eyes. Rita is so, so smart and highly trainable. She’s food-motivated, and her routine check-ins with humans tell me that she sees herself as more of a “follower” than a “leader.” This girl is eager-to-please and ready to become your perfect pup! Rita already knows a handful of basic commands, including sit and shake. She’s still learning her leash manners, but she’s making great progress. With a little bit of polishing, Rita will be amazing on leash in no time. She has amazing house manners already, calming down inside and melting into a big snuggle-bug. Rita was quick to do her “business” outside, and didn’t have any indoor accidents at the rescue. Rita is currently living in a foster home with a loving foster mom. She’s showered in treats, love and affection and in turn, she is always on her best behavior. Rita’s foster mom says “she’s a perfect dog, a great girl.” Rita’s perfect home has at least one human to call her own, and she’s not picky about anything else. Rita would love some doggy siblings of her own. Considering her temperament, we suspect she would do well with kids. She would appreciate walks and exercise to keep her healthy and happy, and plenty of treats! Rita would love a family that’s willing to teach her all sorts of commands, she loves learning. Here at the rescue, Rita met our house cat, Tom, who says that Rita was a bit rude to him, and probably shouldn’t have any kitty roommates! Rita is such a sweet, loving good girl with so much love to give, such an eagerness to learn, and so much patience with other dogs. We LOVE Rita here at the rescue, and I’m confident that you will too! Meet Rita virtually via video call, or in person in Friendswood, Texas. Apply to adopt Rita today, she is ready to meet her forever family! We are willing to test Rita with anything you need us to in order to ensure she’s the perfect match for you! We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Please email megan.rhoads@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions.

If you put happy, silly, and loving into a fun size package- you get Darling. This girl lives up to her name in every sense. She is just Darling! A friend to all, and strangers are only that until she meets them then they are on the fast-track to bestie territory. She is a bundle of joyful energy and her approach to life basically scares away any trace of a bad day you could ever have. Her love of connection and cuddles paired with that fun-loving nature is going to make her such a fantastic companion! Darling is estimated to be 5 months old (Dec. 2024) and weighs 25 lbs. She is not done growing but we do not anticipate her growing much bigger than a mid-size dog, possibly in the 35 lb range. Of course, we cant be positive of her breed which would play into her full-grown size. Going off her features and personality we suspect she is a lab/black mouth cur mix, but truthfully she is a Texas special- the best kind. Darling has so many wonderful qualities, you can see her in action here, but come back to read more about her. https://youtu.be/HLQTX4iDd60 If you enjoy walks and are looking for a walking buddy, Darling will be happy to join! She has | basic leash skills with her only “flaw” being her friendly nature. She is still on the puppy spectrum so training and consistency will help her know when to focus on the walk and when to greet the world freely. It is important to understand, she is the friendly-type, if you head out of the house together leave a few extra minutes for the greetings and comments about your super cute dog. Darling is waiting for her adoption day in a loving foster home and her foster has shared so many positives about her. First, and a major bonus at this age- she is both house and crate trained! No accidents and quiet in her crate. Her foster has shared she really enjoys her crate and will happily nap in there and goes in easily when asked. She also lives with two other dogs, one similar size to her and one that is much bigger. She gets along great with both and loves playtime, shares dog beds and toys easily. When introduced to new dogs she showed the same open playfulness we had heard about. She would love a home with a playmate that has a similar zest for bouncy play, size is not a factor, Darling must understand that the bigger the dog the bigger the fun…? Is that even true? She looked like immediate besties with every dog she was introduced to from a same size guy to a big big girl. She is friendly, greeting new dogs well on and off leash, and when she isn’t running and playing she is happy to just hang out and check in with people for a little love and maybe a treat. Darling’s ideal home is flexible, she could be an apartment girl thanks to her friendliness, size, and overall quiet nature but a yard would be perfect for mastering fetch and zoomies with a friend. As far as cats go, Darling could have a feline-friend with just basic guidance. She is not shy when meeting a cat and her invitation to play is the only thing she will need guidance on. Learning that cats do not want to “play” the same way she does will take a little time but she learns quickly and is good natured about the boundary swats. A home with a dog-savvy cat that can handle her curiosity would be best. Darling has so much love to give, and she is sure to shine as a loyal, fun-loving family member. If you think Darling is the girl for you, don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or to simply express your interest. These small package-big fun dogs go quickly and we know Darling will be no exception. Apply today! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/671a59119d3d0b8ad100c596 Questions?
