AVAILABLE LABS

Important Notes:

  • Finding Your Perfect Match: Below are brief descriptions of some of our dogs that are available for adoption. Because the list is constantly changing, we recommend that you apply to adopt as soon as you are ready and work with an Adoption Coordinator, who can provide you with more info about dogs that are a good match for you and your lifestyle.  
     

  • Adopting with Children: The safety of children in an adoptive home is one of our greatest priorities. Learn more about our approach to placing dogs in homes where little ones are present.
     

  • Adopting as a Townhome or Apartment Resident: As many of our dogs come from rural areas—where they have limited exposure to cars, new people and dogs, unexpected noises, and being leashed—we may limit placements for some dogs to single-family homes. Learn more > 
     

  • Adopting & Fences: We require fences for some of our dogs for a range of reasons. Learn more >
     

  • Heartworm: About ten percent of our dogs are diagnosed with Heartworm disease during their initial vetting. Heartworm is treatable, and Lab Rescue provides treatment for all infected dogs at no cost to the adopter. Learn more >

Both 9 years old

Good with:

Kids 10+ Dogs

Needs:

A loving forever home

Two loving butterballs!

THANKS TO A GENEROUS DONOR WHO WANTS TO HELP ALL SENIOR PUPS FIND THEIR FOREVER HOMES, THE COMBINED ADOPTION FEE IS $250. 


laddy Fenwick and lovely lassie Abby are done roaming the moors! They're ready for a nice warm bed and plenty o' cuddles. These older siblings are distinguished and calm, but friendly seniors. Both know a few cues (sit, stay, down, and easy). Fenwick and Abby are quite large, so if their new family finds they pull too hard for them, we recommend EZ-Walk harnesses. The pair were surrendered to the shelter together and reported to be bonded, so must be adopted together. These gentle giants are good with other dogs, but unknown with cats. If you're ready to warm up with cocoa and cuddles, come meet Fenwick and Abby today! They have wonderful dispositions and personalities to share with their new family.

Bella #4

Age:

9 years

Good with:

Kids 10+, Dogs, Cats

Needs:

A loving forever home with a physical fence

Sweet Senior!

THANKS TO A GENEROUS DONOR WHO WANTS TO HELP ALL SENIOR PUPS FIND THEIR FOREVER HOMES, THE ADOPTION FEE IS $125. 


Sweet Bella was living with her young owner who, when he moved out on his own with Bella last year, was not able to give her the exercise and attention she needed. As a result Bella has become overweight and a little stressed from being left for 8-10 hours a day. This sweet girl was so happy to meet a new person when our evaluator came to see her. She would do best in a quieter neighborhood and needs slow introductions to new dogs. She did great meeting our evaluator and after a slower introduction with the evaluator's dog, she was all tail wags and happy. She did fine letting the evaluator walk them both together. She is house trained and crate trained — though she doesn't need the crate. She walks well on leash. Bella just wants someone to love and love her so she can have a good life in her golden years. She will also benefit greatly from more exercise.

Bo

Gender: 

Male

Age:

8 years

Good with:

Kids 10+, Dogs

Needs:

A loving forever home

Sweet Bo!

Bo, aka Bocephus, is in search of a chill new home. While he enjoys being active, he's felt a little anxious around so many young children who arrived all of a sudden and could use a more mature family (older kids are fine). Bo is good on leash-and he knows several cues (sit, lay down, stay, spin). He's usually quite happy to see other dogs and people on walks. Bo grew up with children in the house, and regularly plays and hangs with them, but he's not much of a fan of the really young ones. This is common in dogs who may find crawling babies and toddlers quite concerning, especially as the dog starts to get into his senior years. He is very affectionate and enjoys hanging out with this family. Bo loves to play fetch with frisbees and balls, and he loves swimming and car rides. While Bo can get a little sad if he sees you packing for a trip, he seems to be pretty relaxed at home. Bo is good with other dogs and may be good with cats (he did well on a previous interaction, but should be carefully supervised and slowly introduced to new cat friends). If you'd like a mature, but still fun-loving guy, come meet Bo today!

Bobby

Gender: 

Male

Age:

6 years

Good with:

Kids 10+, Dogs

Needs:

A loving forever home. Fence negotiable.

Big Beautiful Boy!

Bobby is a stunning young yellow boy. He’s an extra-large boy with a gentle heart and a big brain to match. Although Bobby is strong, he’s also incredibly smart and eager to learn – especially when the reward is tasty treats and your praise. He walks nicely on leash with a no-pull harness. Bobby is fully crate-trained, house-trained, and enjoys quiet time in the backyard, lounging in the sun or sniffing around. He’s generally a calm and quiet companion.  Bobby would do best in an adult only home with no cats.

Bogey and Mulligan

Gender: 

Male/Male Bonded Pair

Age:

Both 7 years

Good with:

Kids 10+, Dogs

Needs:

A loving forever home (fence negotiable)

These guys are better than par for the course!

Bogey and Mulligan are a pair of handsome, well behaved boys. They are house- and crate-trained (though they don't need the crate). They know several commands and listen very well. Their prior owner taught them to 'sit' while their meals are being prepared and wait for the 'ok' command to eat. They know sit, stay, come, and sort of understand 'heel'. They walk fairly well on leash but their prior owner has not been able to walk them for a while (they used to walk 2-3 miles a day), so they may need to brush up on that. Bogey is more the goofball of the two and is always up for playtime. Mulligan keeps things on track. These beautiful boys were wonderful for the vet, did great for the transporters, and were very sweet during their evaluations. Their foster mom describes them as 'unbelievable, cuddly, and kissable'. These affectionate friends will be a great addition to any family looking for double the love and double the fun! They will fill some home with happiness and must be adopted together..

Casper

Gender: 

Male

Age:

3 years

Good with:

Kids 10+, Dogs, Cats

Needs:

A loving forever home with a physical fence

The friendly type

Casper is a sweet, sometimes silly, very good boy. When he came to Lab Rescue he was missing most of his fur due to severe allergies. After treating him, he regained his beautiful fur, and his true identity became clear: he's a Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd mix! Now that he’s healthy and fluffy again, we know that Casper is very much a working dog who loves being outside and thriving when he has a job that suits his instincts and personality, like livestock guarding. True to his nature, Casper believes in keeping an eye on things. He’s not excessively noisy, but he does patrol the fence line and will alert bark at passing threats like squirrels, plastic bags, or neighbors living their lives. He’ll quiet when asked and is happy to come inside when his job is done. A large securely fenced yard is non-negotiable; he’s got strong instincts to roam and protect, and he needs space to do both safely. He’s crate trained & house trained. Casper is calm, stoic, and devoted; extremely gentle with people. He's independent, though affectionate with his family. He walks nicely on leash, enjoys park outings, and gets along with other dogs, but is mostly indifferent to them. If he could choose, he'd prefer a large, calm female dog companion, but he'd be happy as an only dog too. He'll do best with a family who has working dog experience who understands the nature of the breeds. Casper will do best in a rural area, ideally on a farm, or similar place he can be put to work. He has lived with cats, and will play with them if they agree.

Cocoa #2

Gender: 

Female

Age:

3.5 years

Good with:

Kids 10+, Dogs

Needs:

A loving forever home with a physical fence

Sweet girl!

Cocoa is a  happy girl, who loves attention and being near her people. She is just discovering what it is to be a loved, inside dog. Cocoa is learning all about houses and their weird machines, like TVs, vacuums, and doorbells…all of which she has done well with. She’s a fast learner, and her new family will have fun showing her all sorts of fun things, such as playing with toys, fetching, swimming, taking walks, etc. She already likes to play with toys and carries one around with her. She enjoys safely explored the fenced yard and keeps it clear of those pesky rabbits and squirrels, who quickly learned there was a new sheriff in town. (An indication she might not do well with cats.) Foster says she’s very friendly and affectionate and will make a super companion with just a little more time learning and being loved.

Delightful Daisy!

Daisy is a spunky girl who loves the outdoors. She is used to being around other dogs and having access to a backyard.

Daisy is housetrained, crate trained, walks well on a leash, and sleeps on the couch or a dog bed. Daisy is good with large dogs, but no cats or small dogs for this girl, as she has a high prey drive. More on Daisy soon.

Ellie and Remi #3

Gender: 

Female/Female bonded pair

Age:

7 years/6 years

Good with:

Kids 10+, Dogs, Cats

Needs:

A loving forever home with a physical fence

Beautiful Bonded Pair!

Ellie and Remi are a bonded pair who have recently joined Lab Rescue due to their owner moving and unable to take them. They have been with their owner since puppyhood but seem to be embracing the change and enjoying all the attention they are getting from the vet staff. Remi (chocolate, 6 years) is a sweet pup who loves attention and tends to be more into her humans than her older sister Ellie (black, 7 years). They are house- and crate-trained. Typically in their prior home they would spend their days outside (weather permitting) since their owner worked long shifts. They spent their evenings inside and each slept in their own crate. They will chase a ball if you throw it but neither is great at returning it. Ellie likes to swim in bodies of water but has not mastered swimming in a pool (but is willing to try!). Remi hasn't had the opportunity but is up for it. They both know sit and down. "Crate' is their word to go in the crate. They are really good girls and best friends and are looking forward to going together to their new family.
