Meet Rako!
Rako and her siblings were abandoned alongside their momma and had a rough start. But, after being taken in by caring fosters things improved greatly for them!
Rako is the alpha-pup of her family and lets it be known! Her siblings follow her around like the leader and mimic her every move. She is confident, curious, and an all-around great pup.
Strong and smart just like her mother, Rako will take you on many adventures! She will make a great companion dog.
Rako and her siblings show potential for being good farm dogs as they show unique traits of their Labrador Retriever breed, though they are a mix of things as well.
Adopt, don't shop! Rako and his siblings are not bonded but would be great if adopted together!

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
