Adopt a Labrador Retriever / Mixed

Meet Veruca! This shy girl is still a little uncertain of many things but WE are certain of how affectionate and friendly she is. Veruca's foster likes to call her a homebody since she isn't a fan of going new places, but she does love everything about her home. So, a family who understands this about her and doesn't "push" her too hard would be best for this sweet girl. While at home, Veruca LOVES to spend time chewing on her toys (she's still technically a puppy) and learning new things. She is currently learning "leave it", "sit", and "stay". Since Veruca is a big fan of her crate, her foster mom is also teaching her "place" to direct her to go to her crate. Who wouldn't want to add this super smart lady to their family?



If you're interested in adopting Veruca, please visit our website to learn about our adoption process and to fill out an application, www.gatewaypets.com/adopt-a-pet/pet-adoption-policies. All of our dogs will be micro-chipped, spayed or neutered, and up-to-date on vaccinations at the time of adoption.

Gateway Pet Guardians is proud to offer a variety of mixed breed dogs available for adoption. However, please keep in mind that we rarely know the genetic background of the animals we rescue and, as such, we cannot guarantee the exact breed combinations found within this dog. Further, because "pit bull terrier type dog" is not a breed we can list and because this dog has a blocky head and other characteristics that make the public perceive him/her as a pit bull, we are listing him/her as a pit bull mix. However, we do not know his/her actual genetic makeup. Just know that this dog is probably a variety of several different breeds that have combined to create one very amazing and unique animal.
