Sweet Astraya is just waiting for you to come and get her!  She greets everyone with a wagging tail.  Astraya has started playing with toys and will sometimes bring them back if you toss them.  She also enjoys playing with other dogs. Astraya knows the sit, come and sometimes down.  Astaya is looking for an active family that will run and play with her. More on Astraya as we get to know her better.

Baba is a happy, attentive, good-natured, lady. She is convinced she is the sole reason for anyone to visit her home. Baba’s loving mom had a couple health scares and wanted to ensure Baba had a happy forever home. Baba loves her toys and rides in the car. She is strong on leash but hasn't gone for walks (which she adores) for some time. Baba lived with two cats and was great with them, unless they stole her toys, when she would give them a dirty look and take her toys into another room. She's a quiet girl who has never lived with another dog, but who has been cordial with the handful she has met since coming to Lab Rescue. This super sweet, lovely, loving lady is patiently waiting to find her new, loving, forever home. Could that be you?

Barrett is a handsome guy with a love of treats. This cutie has a splash of white on his chest, white tippy toes, and gorgeous white teeth. He's like a handsome tuxedo. There's no history on him since he was a stray so we are just learning about him. More on him as we get to know him. Barrett is looking forward to making history with his new family.

Amazingly sweet Bo is ready to find his forever home! When Bo arrived at Lab Rescue it was discovered that he has a grade 4 heart murmur. Lab Rescue has had him checked out by a cardiologist, who placed him on medication, which will run about $60 monthly. He's been doing wonderfully since he started on it and feeling good. He should live a healthy and happy life. You would never know anything was going on with this handsome boy - he acts like a typical 2.5-year-old Lab. And he’s a bit underweight, so he is loving mealtime! Bo loves to play, loves to fetch, loves to swim, and loves to get his zoomies on from time to time. He will certainly keep you entertained. He loves to be with his humans and will follow them around to see what they are up to. He would be a lap dog if you let him. Bo would very much like a human that's not gone all day or a K9 buddy that doesn't mind a clingy, but adorable, little brother.

Bobby is a friendly, affectionate and engaging dog who arrived at the shelter lacking confidence and trust. So much has changed since then: he enjoys attention and interaction from the people he knows, and they also get to see his wonderfully playful, goofy side. Bobby is intelligent and very capable of learning. He is house- and crate-trained and has good household manners. He is able to relax and settle in the home or crate and does not need constant activity or entertainment. After working with our trainer and spending time in a foster home, Bobby is now more relaxed with routine handling, like putting on a harness or collar, by his people. Predictable interactions and allowing him to participate voluntarily have been the keys to establishing trust with his human. Bobby’s ideal home is a one without lots of comings and goings or new people, with a securely fenced yard. Bobby's trainer can be available to provide support during the transition to a new home to help support his success. He really wants to be his best!

Strikingly handsome Buck is on a mission to find his new home.  He is house trained and crate trained (though he hasn't needed a crate in quite some time).  Buck is very mellow and will make himself at home when left alone.  He enjoys playine with toys and will chase them when you throw them, but will not bring them back.  You threw it, it's his!  Buck is working on his leash skills and an EZ walk harness is helping him in that regard.  He is very smart, and knows sit,stay, and come.  Buck is not overly fond of loud noises. He does enjoy a good car ride though, and is well behaved in the car.  Please give this sweet boy a chance.

Buddy is very easy going and loves to hear the harmonica being played. He knows commands for come, backup, sit, a dnpaw. He’s a happy boy that loves to share a smile and adores human attention. He is house trained and does not need/use the crate. Buddy has been a full time companion for his owner for 6 years. He was given a lot of table food and now has to be on a diet to lose at least 20 lbs and get more exercise. He's ready for all that! He is used to having free roam in the house and in a fenced yard He loves a good car ride so come pick him up and take him home.

Bunty is a friendly pup with all your typical Lab likes: he likes his people, he likes meeting other dogs, and he likes playtime. His favorite pastime is exploring, especially by the side of his favorite people. After an adventure in the yard (or a good walk, or a swim in the lake!), he will settle down to relax. This boy is polite: in the car, he simply sits back and enjoys the view. In his foster home, he has been getting along with the resident dog. And, he is a food-motivated learner who knows some basic commands already! Smart, affectionate, and bouncy, this boy is looking for a home that can give him the love, attention, and exercise he needs. He will make some lucky family a super companion!

Casey and Nathan are a strongly bonded pair of brothers who enjoy one another’s company and function as a unit in most situations. They are a funny and endearing pair of silly adolescents. They play well, enjoy running in the yard, and get into harmless mischief together. Both dogs really enjoy enrichment activities; slow feeders, puzzle toys, and bully sticks are favorites. They came to Lab Rescue very shut down and unwilling to engage with people. During their time in foster care, they have developed into dogs who voluntarily approach known people for food and interaction. While the pair has become substantially more comfortable around their people, they still should be handled with respect for their boundaries. While these sweet boys share many behavioral characteristics, they have some important individual differences. Casey is generally the leader of the pair; he is more likely to investigate, make decisions, and influence Nathan’s response to new situations. Nathan depends on Casey for information and reassurance about new situations. Nathan and Casey will benefit from a predictable home environment. They are home bodies and not well-suited to accompanying their people everywhere, meeting strangers, attending busy social events or taking regular neighborhood walks. But they will bring a sweet, gentle, sometimes silly, companionship to their new people. Are you the special adopter who Casey and Nathan are looking for?

Beautiful Dame Judy may not actually be an Academy Award-winning actress, and Handsome Okie might not be an Okie from Muskogee, but what they have in common is that they have both faced life “Against All Odds.” They arrived at a shelter separately, each with their own burdens -- one a frightened stray who refused to walk, and the other battling a painful scab-covered skin issue. It was kismet. They met, they found comfort with one another, they bonded and are now inseparable. Their tale could make an Academy Award winning story, but it needs a happy ending. This sweet, lovable, bonded pair is sure to be Academy Award winners with their new family!

Duke and Bella are a bonded pair that have lived together since Bella was 2. For the past 6 years they have been best buds. Though Bella tends to be the more independent one - Duke tends to stick close to her. Duke takes on the role of "older brother" and may tattle on Bella from time to time. Helpful for the humans! Both are house- and crate-trained, but no longer use the crate. They know sit, stay, place, kennel, down, and out.  Duke and Bella are loving the cooler weather and enjoying lots of playtime while in boarding. They would love to find their forever home where they can play on heir own yard and enjoy the holidays with a new family! They are sweet and lovable and ready to find their way into a new home. 

Easton is a big boy with a puppy’s heart who thinks he’s a lap dog! This goofy, affectionate guy loves attention, car rides, pillows, and claiming your spot on the couch (or your bed!). When he’s happy, his oversized smile, spinning tail, and little happy dance are guaranteed to make you laugh. Easton has a mischievous side, too! He’s a talented counter surfer. Outside he’s fast, strong, energetic, and loves chasing squirrels, so he needs room to run in a secure yard. Sadly, his adopter has been in and out of the hospital, and the inconsistency has been hard on this sweet guy, so he’s hoping Lab Rescue will help him find someone who will provide a consistent home with lots of attention, exercise, and love. He promises to be a wonderful, fun, affectionate companion.

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

Both Ellie and Maggie are doing great! They are ideal guests and completely house-trained. They let their people know when they want to go out or when it is time for dinner or an evening snack by pacing back and forth to the door or kitchen. If their people do not respond, one of them will give a single, sharp woof, which usually does the trick. Both are excellent eaters and enjoy kibble with a spoonful of canned food or tuna. Maggie and Ellie are incredibly active, alert, and love their walks. They are always ready to go, and a mile walk during the cooler hours is easy for them. Maggie is definitely the leader in the house and will push Ellie out of the way to be first for walks or meals, which Ellie does not seem to mind. Once they finish eating, they always inspect each other's bowls to make sure nothing was left behind. They trade the lead on our walks. Maggie walks at a steady, medium pace with minimal dawdling, while Ellie loves to sniff and walks a bit faster until she gets distracted by a scent. They greet visitors calmly with friendly wags and sniffs, without jumping. Outside, they are happy to meet new people and dogs. Maggie is still terrified of thunder and senses it long before her people can hear it. Yesterday during a storm, she demonstrated that she can do stairs; she ran upstairs for the first time with no problem coming down, and later did it again for another thunder roll. They have distinct personalities and are still sassy and do the "zoomies" from the front room to the TV room once or twice a week. They might not win any agility shows, but they are doing wonderfully for being 13 years old. 

Fiona steals hearts wherever she goes. Whether she is out on the town with her foster or living the couch potato life, she is always fun to be around. She is incredibly affectionate, loves to spend time with her people, and is always up for fun adventures! Don’t let that smattering of powdered sugar on her face fool you. It just an extra bit of sweetness. She is great in the house and has excellent manners. Fiona’s an active girl who really enjoys playing frisbee or will happily volunteer to walk a few miles with you as soon as she sees you've grabbed your shoes. She is very good on leash when there isn't anything going on. However, she can get very excited when she sees another dog. Fiona continues to enjoy her time roaming the yard, and she really enjoys sniffing out any critters that may be passing through. She has a high prey drive and will chase cats, rabbits, squirrels, etc. Other than that, she’s just about perfect! This super-lovable girl has mastered the art of balancing adventure with professional-level lounging and snuggling. Like her namesake, Fiona is a beautiful princess searching for her happily everafter. But she doesn't need an ogre to break the curse, just a kind soul with room in their heart for a beautiful, loving pup.
