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 >

Annie

Female
Age:
8 years
Good with:
Kids 10+, Dogs
Needs:
A loving forever home
The sun will come out tomorrow with this lovebug!
Precious former farm mama Annie is looking for her own family to love. After years of raising puppies, this pretty lady is finally free to focus on herself! Annie loves to play fetch and go on car rides. She is very friendly and playful and enjoyed playing with the other dogs on the farm, so she would probably enjoy the company of another dog or two in her new home. Annie was an outside dog at the farm, so she may need time to get used to being inside and walking on leash. She is a lovely, optimistic lady though, so we don't think it'll take her too long! She is looking forward to enjoying everything her future family has to offer. If you'd like to welcome this love bug into your family, come meet her today!

THANKS TO A GENEROUS DONOR WHO WANTS TO HELP ALL SENIOR PUPS FIND THEIR FOREVER HOMES, THE ADOPTION FEE IS $125.
Sweet Basil is looking for a loving home! This boy was surrendered by his former owners after being picked up as a stray. While waiting for his new family at the shelter, Basil and his chill personality helped shelter staff learn whether other dogs were dog friendly or not, which was incredibly helpful in finding their new homes. He's now hoping for his own chance at a happily ever after! Basil is a distinguished senior who enjoys gentle walks and relaxing with his people. He is good with and very tolerant of other dogs and gently corrects young, overenthusiastic pups so they learn proper doggy manners. If you'd like sweet treat in your life, come meet Basil today!

She needs a loving home committed to continuing her socialization journey with patience and love. Bonnie is fully vetted and ready to meet the perfect family who will help her shine.

Needs:
A loving forever home with another dog
Sweet as chocolate!
Ding ding ding! Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the match of the century! In this corner, World Class, Undefeated Snuggling Champion Canelo! And in this corner...Your Heart! This handsome young pup is in search of a new home after his previous family realized they didn't have enough time for a puppy. Canelo is hoping his new family will be more prepared for the delightful energy and antics of a Lab puppy! He already knows a couple of commands, like sit and stay, in Spanish. Canelo's previous family worked from home, so if his new family has a different schedule, he may need time to adjust. Canelo enjoys running around playing in the yard and fetching a ball. Canelo is good with other dogs, large and small, and was a regular at doggie day care. He needs to go to a home with another dog to develop his confidence. He previously lived with three children and is approved for children ages 10 and up. If this round is looking like a total knock out, come meet Canelo today!

Incredibly handsome!
Swooping in to snatch a new family is handsome Falcon! This young fellow is a gorgeous Fox Red English Lab, with the classic boxy bod and lovable blockhead! Falcon is a fabulous young guy, who still has some pup in him, so his new family may need to be prepared for the occasional puppy mischief, and willing to take him for his required training. Falcon was an outside dog, living on a breeding farm, so he'll need some time adjusting to indoor living, which is is more than ready for. If you'd like to give this handsome hunk a place to land, come meet Falcon today!

A loving forever home, fence negotiable (no e-fence)
Sweet as can be!
Sweet Fiona is a young Lab who landed at the shelter as a stray at a young age. She became a shelter favorite - mascot if you will, while she was there. She was a little shy going into the vet's office but once she got in there she was Miss Congeniality once once again. She enjoyed her playtime with many other dogs at the shelter. Fiona is very sweet and wants to share her happiness with a family.

Friendly Frank!
Frank is a really good dog who is ready to move on from a rough past. He is underweight at 69 pounds; he should be 85-90 lbs. and he is more than excited to reach that goal. Let's eat! Despite a challenging life before coming to Lab Rescue, Frank is an incredibly easygoing, friendly, and gentle soul who still believes us humans are nice and fun to be with. We can all learn a lesson from him! He takes treats easily, knows basic comands, and is always ready for affection and love. He retrieves and sometimes brings it back to you and other times he plays with it out in the field. This sweet guy will make some family very happy.

Hershey/Hattie
Gender:
Female
Age:
7 years
Good with:
Kids 10+, Dogs, Cats
Needs:
A loving forever home with a (negotiable) fence
Delightful Hattie!
Hershey, now called Hattie, is a very personable wiggle-butt. At her first shelter, she was the official dog tester for incoming dogs. Now at her foster, she has been playing hard with her foster brother, enjoying the snow, and then coming inside to collapse on the nearest bed. Hattie is no slacker when it comes to staying busy, and her ideal home would have another playful dog. This friendly girl does need more practice on the leash, as she is so intent on meeting everyone she can. She visited the vet this week and thanked the staff with massive quantities of kisses. Hattie is smart and a quick learner. She goes to the door when she wants to go out, scratches to come back in, and has also learned to use a dog door. A very sociable girl, Hattie eats very slowly and prefers that you stay with her. She will leave what’s left in her bowl if you leave the room. She has been with cats and didn’t get excited when an old, crotchety one preemptively swatted her in the face. She does, however like to herd chickens!? If you’re looking for a super sweet, affectionate, chicken-herding love-bug, Hattie may be your girl!

Huxter
Gender:
Male
Age:
4 years
Good with:
Kids 10+, Dogs, No Cats
Needs:
A loving forever home with a physical fence
Handsome Huxter!
Huxter has settled in so well in his foster home! Hux loves to play with tennis balls and will hoard them if you let him. He’s managed to get three in his mouth at once in the pursuit of having all the balls. He enjoys fetch, but likes to rest after a few throws, then keep playing fetch. It’s a cycle. Huxter seems to want to play with other dogs, but his way of inviting play is very barky. Hux loves being outside and laying in the sun. He has a prey drive and will chase away squirrels and birds. When he’s inside he loves to sit at the window and bark at the critters. Once he’s warned away all intruders, he’s happy to find a dog bed and take a nice nap. Hux likes to be near people when they’re home, and will be your little shadow following you around the house. Hux is crate trained but does not need to be crated when his people are away and has free roam of the house at all times, and he’s been a dream. He loves his ears and booty scratches and will stand next to you begging for more until your fingers cramp. Hux takes treats gently, and knows sit, lay and paw. Overall he’s a such a good boy, looking for adopters who are willing to give him the exercise and training he needs to be successful

Double chocolate!
Indy (male) and Chestnut (female) are a delightful bonded sibling pair from the same litter who must be adopted together. The pair have lived together as outdoor dogs their whole lives, but are really looking forward to a change! They have limited experience with leash-walking, but are smart and eager to please. They know sit and stay, and their new family may have fun going to training classes with them. This brother/sister duo loved playing with their former home's older children, including playing fetch, chasing around obstacles, and cuddling. They haven't had a chance to try swimming (yet?), and they ride well in the car (usually crated). If you'd like a double portion of chocolatey goodness, come meet these sweet pups today!

Jax (male) and Sammie (female) are headed into their Golden Years with dreams of soft beds, snuggles, tasty treats, and fun adventures. Both are good with other dogs but unknown with cats.

Needs:
A loving forever home with a physical fence
Fun-loving Kellsie!
THANKS TO A GENEROUS DONOR, WHO THINKS EVERY LAB DESERVES A HOME OF THEIR OWN, THE ADOPTION FEE FOR THIS PUP IS $200.
Kellsie is a snuggly, active young girl. She is a high energy, and likes to play with male dogs and mellow female dogs. She also likes to chill outside and sunbathe after getting some zooms out in the yard. Kellsie warms up slowly to new people, but she can easily be won over with patience, a gentle voice, and cookies…lots of cookies. Kellsie knows most basic obedience cues, walks nicely with a head halter, and loves sniffing and exploring. She comes when called and takes treats gently. Kellsie hopes her people will enjoy taking her to agility or on hikes/long walks, and will welcome LOTS of sweet snuggles. If you are looking for a loyal, active, fun companion, Kellsie would love to meet you!

Kuma
Gender:
Male
Age:
3 years
Good with:
Kids 10+, Dogs
Needs:
A loving forever home with a physical fence where he is the only dog
Looking for love!
Handsome Kuma is looking for love! He's a wonderfully affectionate young guy who loves everyone he meets. This fun-loving, energetic young pup needs an active home where his people can keep up with his abundant energy. He would love a fenced back yard to chase squirrels and a porch where he can curl up with his human to watch the world go by. He has a high prey drive but is inquisitive and attentive, making him a great training partner and companion. This smart guy makes beautiful eye contact with those bright, curious eyes. Kuma will reward you with lots of love and cuddles. He’s very affectionate! He is good with other dogs but working on being more calm around them… the reason he is currently recommended to be an only dog. He loves puzzle toys and chasing after balls, though he's not great at bringing them back. Your new best friend, Kuma, is anxiously waiting for you.

Lily #2

Female
Age:
1 year
Good with:
Kids 10+, Dogs
Needs:
A loving forever home with a physical fence
Lively Lily!
Lily is a happy pup who thinks being with you and getting attention is great. She is great with woman but a bit shy with men, most likely from being mistreated before she came into the shelter. But this sweetie then warms up to men who go slow with her. Lily loves to go out in the yard to play with the other dogs. She likes to go for rides and was super on the ride from NC north. Lily would like to meet a family that has a fenced yard and that will give her love, attention, and training she deserves.
