About Kirk

Meet Captain Kirk, a 13-week-old Labrador Retriever/Black Mouth Cur mix with a big personality packed into a chunky puppy body. He’s got that classic goofy Lab charm—stumbling after toys, making everyone laugh with his puppy antics, and then melting into a snuggly puddle when he’s tired. Kirk thrives on attention and wants to be where his people are, whether he’s chasing a ball or settling in for a nap nearby. He’s wonderful with kids, showing all the sweetness and patience you’d want in a young family dog. Kirk also gets along great with other dogs, loving time with canine buddies as much as playtime with humans. He’s still too young to have met cats, but at this age he’s primed to learn with good, supervised introductions. Kirk is looking for a family that’s up for the joys and chaos of puppyhood—someone ready to teach him the ropes, guide his playful energy, and settle in for years of adventures. Fun fact: Kirk is an Aries, so you can expect natural curiosity (and plenty of bold puppy moves) as part of the deal. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
