About Guppy—Affectionate Friendly

Meet Guppy, a fun-loving and affectionate yellow Lab ready to bring joy into your home! At only 2 years old and weighing around 60 pounds, he boasts all the playful enthusiasm that makes Labs so lovable. Currently fostered in Hooksett, NH, Guppy has seamlessly blended into a household with five female pups and one male dog, showcasing his friendly nature and love for play. This spirited boy enjoys chasing balls, engaging in tug-of-war, and reveling in all kinds of water-related fun—he truly believes ice cubes are the best treat ever! Guppy may have been born with two toes missing on his left front leg, but that doesn’t hold him back; he runs and plays as energetically as any other pup. Despite his medium size, he still sees himself as a lap dog, always eager to be close to his humans for cuddles. Guppy is house trained, crate trained, and is learning to mingle with his foster family's cat while also adjusting to children. He’s neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated, eagerly awaiting a family that can keep up with his active lifestyle and love for adventure.
