I think that as of this version, intelligent (or maybe not even intelligent, maybe just CAN_LEARN is needed) can haul and build.

I've read elsewhere they need to have a GRASP body part.

I was never a able to get any to haul in 40.24, and would love to know how.

I will end up testing this in the future, but I think it is only from 42.01 and onward.

Pets with CAN_LEARN will basically function as a fort member except that you cannot assign them labors through the normal interface (and you can assign them to be slaughtered).  They will claim beds, eat and drink, and can be assigned to squads and as nobles (unless they have SLOW_LEARNER, which prevents them from becoming nobles).  If you give them NATURAL_SKILL, they will automatically have labors activated and will perform them, which means you can probably also assign them labors through Dwarf Therapist.  Otherwise, they will only do unskilled labors like hauling and construction.

This is all new for 0.42.
