Dutch Black Labrador Retriever Mix Murray, KY

Dutch is a gorgeous lab mix puppy who loves to play! Dutch is smart and active and will make a wonderful addition to an active family or person who can give him lots of things to do that will create a happy and enriched life.

Dutch is the shyest of the group and will need a patient adopter to help him get more comfortable with new experiences. He has been in our foster care since May 2023 and is wanting a Forever Home. He gets along with his siblings and other dogs and cats in the home. He has been crate-trained. He is hesitant and a bit fearful when walking on a leash and needs patience and guidance in making him more comfortable with this activity. He loves to snuggle in a lap for reassurance. Please consider giving Dutch a Forever Home where he can have attention, patience and to further his training where he can continue to blossom.

All of our dogs are up-to-date on vaccinations, intestinal worm treatment, heartworm, flea, and tick prevention and will be microchipped prior to adoption. The dogs are also altered if over 5-6 months. Our foster families do their best to begin their house training but please be patient with any puppy you adopt. It's a learning process!

If you are ready for the work, time, patience, expense, and commitment required to raise a puppy, we welcome your adoption application. Sending us a completed application is the very first step so be sure to do that first thing! The adoption donation is $200. All of our animals must be spayed or neutered when reaching the appropriate age. A reimbursement of $50 will be sent to the adopter once we receive the receipt from the procedure. The adoption donation also includes a discount for S.T.A.R. Puppy Kindergarten or Canine Good Citizen Class.

When applying for any adoption, please be aware that The Humane Society office is open Mon - Thurs from 10 - 3. We will respond to any inquiries or adoption submissions sent during non-office hours on the next day we are in the office. Thank you for your understanding!

Dog Adoption Guidelines:

You must fill out an application to be considered for adoption. You can find the application at www.ForThePets.org. Please email any questions to humanesociety@murray-ky.net.

It is not a first-come process; we try to match the dog with the family for a FOREVER home. We process all applications at once and take the dog off the site, placing them on adoption pending status until a decision is made. If a suitable home match is not found, the dog returns to active status.

The dog adoption process can take up to two weeks; we are a small group of volunteers who mostly have full-time jobs.

All of our dogs are indoor dogs with outdoor privileges unless otherwise specified.

We do not fly or ship our dogs due to heat/cold concerns and safety issues. If you are willing to fly out AND fly the dog back in the cabin (size restrictions) with you, that would be considered.

If you apply to adopt a dog and are chosen, you must come to Murray, KY to pick up the dog and fill out the paperwork in person.

We can't provide individual meet and greet sessions for each applicant. If chosen to adopt, you will have plenty of time for your family and pets to visit with the potential new family member before signing any paperwork and will not be committed to adopting if you choose not to at that time.
