About Krispy

Meet Krispy, a 9-year-old Black Labrador Mix looking for a calm and loving retirement home. He recently had surgery to repair a torn ACL, and while he’s on the mend, it's essential for his new family to be prepared to help him heal. Keeping his activity gentle and low-key will be key to his recovery, so adopters should ensure he is not engaging in strenuous activities. Krispy is neutered, current on vaccinations, and ready to bring joy to his new home. He has a lot of energy for his age and loves playing with stuffed toys and gnawing on tasty bones. He gets along well with other dogs and cats but would do best with an older dog that respects his space. He is great with children too, though a home with older kids who can be mindful of his injury is preferred. Krispy is truly a good ole boy deserving of a loving family where he can relax and enjoy life. If you think you can provide that home, reach out or come meet him!
