About Sugar

Sugar is one half of an inseparable Labrador pair, bonded with Spice and ready to bring twice the charm to a new home. Sugar is especially devoted to culinary pursuits—she knows what she likes in the treat department and won't settle for less, showing a clear preference for bacon, popcorn, and pup cups. She finds comfort close to her favorite human, hovering in the kitchen and making herself useful as an eager taste tester. While she's not the first to dive into the water, she's made real progress and now enjoys a little splash from time to time. Blindness hasn't dulled Sugar's spark; she relies on her sharp senses to keep the household alert and loves a good belly rub when it's time to unwind. With new folks, Sugar takes her time before warming up, showing a preference for slow introductions. But once she trusts you, her loyalty runs deep. She’s house trained, enjoys leisurely walks, and has mastered the art of falling asleep belly-up. Sugar and Spice thrive together—balancing playful bursts with plenty of snuggles. The pair seeks a patient, calm household, fenced yard, no other dogs, and people ready to enjoy a world of quirks and affection. Both are spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and awaiting a family to bring them home. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
