Miguel

Miguel is an adoptable male Labrador Retriever looking for a home at BARC Animal Shelter in Houston, Texas. He is a young adult and medium in size. He is listed on the shelter's euthanasia list, listed due to lack of space, and that date has now passed. Shelters often move these dates, so Miguel may still be waiting. The shelter can confirm.
