The labs listed on this page are always changing. Every day labs are adopted and new labs join us while they wait for their new forever home. If you are interested in adopting one of these labs from Lab Rescue, please fill out our and send it to us online (or by fax or mail). Lab Rescue of the LRCP asks that you read about the entire before submitting your application. We often receive questions about why so few labs are approved for young children. You can read about how we make that determination in thesection of the website.
Please note that the website is not the most up to date source of information. Some labs may have been adopted before the website shows them as adopted.
Lab Rescue does its life saving work exclusively in the Mid-Atlantic region of the USA. We rarely adopt our labs outside of this region. The Mid-Atlantic includes Maryland, Pennsylvania, Washington DC and Virginia.

Alice is a 7 year old black spayed female. She is up to date on her shots and is heartworm negative. She is good with other dogs, but no cats, and is approved for kids aged 10 and up. She weighs 58 lbs.
Update from Alice's foster family 5/25/2013
Alice is doing terrific, she's happy and fits right into our routine. She enjoys her weekends when she roams around the property sniffing out rabbits, groundhogs and other pests that get into my garden - so she's a big help. Alice enjoys easing into her Saturday mornings. She likes to sleep in and is so considerate she lets her foster mom have a leisurely cup of coffee before starting the days activities. She knows when her foster mom pulls out the yoga mat to get up on the sofa and out of way, no downward dogs for this girl, she would observe.
Alice is perfectly behaved while alone during the workday, she has access to the entire house and we think she spends her time looking out the front window and napping. She greets me with her favorite toys while her entire body wags furiously - she's really people oriented and loves attention. She's been no problem at all, very easy and well mannered. She really loves the window a/c on hot days, smart little girl. She knows sit, go lay down, come, and shake.
Alice walks well using an easy walk harness and she's learned to sit on command as other dogs pass by, to avoid getting too excited. She enjoys retrieving her favorite squeaky toy and will drop it so it can be thrown again -- over and over!
Alice is a pretty, affectionate, low maintenance gal, who would enjoy a home as a solo dog where she will provide loyal companionship as she loves cuddling and if given the opportunity will climb up in your lap and fall asleep. She greets all humans with a very friendly hello and wants to be petted by everyone she meets and really enjoys riding in cars. She's a great companion!

Bella and Luna are a pair bonded pair who must be adopted together. Bella is a 5 year old spayed black female that weighs 79 lbs. Luna is a 5 year old spayed black femal that weighs 75 lbs. They are good with other dogs and cats and are approved for kids aged 10 and up. They are up to date on their shots and are heartworm negative.
Update from Bella & Luna's foster family Jun 14, 2013:
The best kept secret -- Bella and Luna, female Black Lab litter mates. These two are the sweetest, gentle, loving girls I have ever met and has as house guests. They have superb manners in the house and just blend in with all of us including my two labs. They can be in separate areas of the house and listen for what the other one is doing. At 6 years young they have a lot of spunk and enjoy a brief romp with my male labs, but they are gentle players. They love to go on walks around our wooded property, have not shown a huge interest in playing ball, or undoing stuffies. A little tug of war or a smart toy or two and they are very happy.
Both girls are on a diet and need to lose weight. Bella has the most to lose at 9 lbs. overweight and Luna is 5lbs. overweight. They are on a green bean diet with a portion control of some excellent food. We add in a little non-fat yogurt, a couple of baby carrots and some salmon oil to keep them gorgeous. Bella would love to have her on stash of food somewhere, but she has not found extra food to stash. She knows there is food around this house just can't find a way to get to it. We practice good manners when it is time to eat and they both will sit and wait. The wait time can be real short but we are working to make sure that they wait until I give them the okay, good girl signal. With the weather being so iffy these days walks have been shorter so we all look forward to the coming days of sunshine and pleasant temps.
They love to come up and snuggle on the bed with me, but we only do that during the days if I lie down. Luna is the biggest cuddler and has to have a body part touching me up close and personal. Bella is the first one up often and happy to be near me but doesn't have to be in my face. At nights they sleep on dog beds and that works well for everyone. They sleep through the night without any drama and wake in the morning with a shake of the ears and a peak a boo look at me to see if I am responding. There is a crate set up and the door is open always, they will take turns getting in and laying down but also will lay on the couch and floor without any problems. I am surrounded by Bella and Luna when working in my office and by my two labs as they all encircle my desk and will often make a congo line of lying sleeping labs.
They have no issues with cats as my 16 year old cat is enjoying their company and can be found lying in the middle of all four labs.
The only problem is you have not found Bella and Luna yet. Having these girls around reminds me of wearing my most beloved, comfortable shoes. A smile is always on my face and I love every moment. The girls certainly would like to give their love to a forever family and are ready to greet you with snuggles and love.

Jake is a 7 year old neutered yellow male. He is up to date on his shots and is heartworm negative. He is good with other dogs and cats and is approved for kids aged 5 and up. He weighs 58 lbs.
Update from Jake's foster family -6/16/2013
Jake seems like he has completely settled in in the week and a half I've had him. He's my first foster who has earned free reign of the house during the day and at night. He sleeps on the floor next to my bed and he likes to sit on the bench in my front window and watch the world go by during the day. Jake has the sweetest lab lean and all he wants is all of your love.
Jake will need an active family who wants a high energy dog (and who can set firm but gentle boundaries), but he is so loving and affectionate that he'll make that family incredibly happy.
It breaks my heart a little to say that he sometimes flinches away from enthusiastic gesturing like fake throws or pointing. I've gone through some of the basic tricks with him and he's smart and eager to please, but would guess that people in his past weren't totally up-to-speed on positive reinforcement training. On the other hand, the flinching is his only indication of being unsettled at all!
Jake made himself right at home and now it's like he's been here for ages! He and my dog get along like peaches and cream and I haven't worried about crating Jake since the first day he was with me. He's very well behaved in the house, loves to chew on dog toys, and will entertain himself batting around a ball or pushing a bone around with his nose. He likes to hang out in whatever room I'm in and when he gets bored he rolls over and wiggles to ask for belly rubs. Sometimes when he gets tired he'll go curl up on the arm chair he has claimed as his. When I'm outside (working in the yard or heading out), he likes to sit on the bench in my front window and watch what's going on. He likes to retrieve and he is the kind of dog who needs to smell every blade of grass on our walks. Jake is cuddly and he thinks it's absolutely the best thing in the world to curl up on the couch next to you to have his ears scratched.
Jake will definitely need a training addendum--He does jump for attention and he is still learning how to pass other dogs politely. He gets so excited that he can't help but bark a greeting and start bouncing around! Jake knows sit, down, and leave it.
Long story short, even though he still needs some training, Jake is sweet and gentle and very well behaved. If I were hoping to adopt a second dog, he'd be it.

Jake is a 7 year old neutered black male. He is up to date on his shots. He is good with other dogs and is approved for kids aged 10 and up. He weighs 56 lbs and could stand to gain a few. He has a great and happy spirit about him. He's full of energy.
Update from Jake's foster family - 5/18/2013
Jake is doing great. His manners improve every day. He will sit and wait before I step out of the door. At feeding time he will follow, very close mind you, but stays from under foot. He is eager to please and does very well.
Jake has great home manners. He hesitates before jumping up on anything. When he does, it is not long lived and then leaves the furniture. The exception here is the bed. He loves being in the bed and is quick to be cuddly with you.
Jake doesn't need to be crated and has freedom of the house and he has been perfect. In fact, the reason he was let out of the crate was his insistence that the dog bed in the crate was to be on the outside. He demonstrated this by pulling it out so that he could lay on it. That was fun to watch :-) Jake would prefer a home with someone around more than not. Jake is a smart boy and will benefit from continued training. He is learning how to play and really has fun. He does play with toys. In fact, he loves take the stuffed toys and tossing them in the air and catching them. At first he did not get the concept of fetch. He is starting to bring the toy back to me. I think he now gets that I will throw it again. Jake is a goofy guy with moderate energy who likes to go for walks and enjoys playing with other dogs. He is happy go lucky and enjoys hanging out and soaking up the sunshine. Jake knows sit, down and stay.

Jewel is a 6 year old spayed black female. She is up to date on her shots and is heartworm negative. She is good with other dogs and is approved for kids aged 10 and up. She weighs 54 lbs. She is being treated for a skin condition that could be the result of allergies or of a previous case of mange but she's not contagious. She's receiving weekly medicated baths and is starting on a healthy diet that will get her looking lots better soon. She has a sweet and calm disposition. She loves to play with a tennis ball.
Update from Jewel's foster family June 5, 2013:
Jewel is the sweetest dog I have ever met. She loves to chase a squeaky toy, cuddle and follows me constantly. She is totally housebroken. Jewel is a very sweet well behaved lady. She is house trained and doesn't need to be crated. She is very sweet with other dogs and children.
We had an opportunity to run her in a fenced yard and she is very graceful. She is calm rarely barks and is very playful. I'm feeding her 4 times a day to increase her weight. When we can get her skin condition better, some hair regrowth, and fatten her up to fill out some of her skin, she will be beautiful. She's already come a long way! Think of her as a diamond in the "ruff".

Johnny is a 2 year black neutered male. He is up to date on his shots and is heartworm negative. He is good with other dogs and is approved for kids aged 7 and up. He weighs 57 lbs.
Update from Johnny's foster family 6/13/2013:
Johnny has become so sweet and snuggly. Even though he still likes to race around the yard, he has calmed down a ton inside. His favorite new activity it to lay on the patio and watch for the school bus so he can watch all the kids run around. He loves to play but loves snuggling the best!
Johnny has really settled into our home. He knows our routine and knows when it is time for potty, dinner, sleep and treats! He will sit right beside the treat cabinet until you get him one! He loves to run around the yard (that's why we call him "Hot Pants") and will need a family with a yard that is fenced in so he can continue to run and smell the fresh air - he just loves to run in the yard!! "Johnny" or "Hot Pants" will come inside when called and he loves to get a good back rubbing and to sit beside you on the couch! He loves the companionship of my dogs and respects his place in the pack. Johnny needs a family that can love his quirks and appreciate his energetic spirit. Johnny is always happy and he would love to have a home where he can be happy forever!

Lady is a 7 month old black spayed female. She is up to date on her shots and is heartworm negative. She is good with other dogs and is approved for kids aged 10 and up. She weighs 53 lbs. Lady is a bubbly girl who is great with other dogs. As with all young labs, she will strongly benefit from formal obedience training. She is lovely, friendly and very much a puppy!
Update from Lady's foster family - 6/18/2013
Lady is a joy to have around here. She loves the littlest pack member (the feeling is mutual) and the two of them run and chase and tackle and wrestle on constant repeat. She will chase a ball if you toss it a few feet and will pounce on it and then run around showing off her prize. She'll easily let me take it from her when I say "give" and will happily play the game some more. She loves to run outside in the yard and still has that goofy "I'm a puppy and I don't know where all my feet go yet" gallop, so she's fun to watch too.
Lady loves toys, and loves to PLAY! She thinks everything is a toy (the chuck it, my gardening gloves, an empty flower pot...) so you have to watch her a little to make sure she doesn't have something inappropriate, but she will easily give you whatever you ask for. She loves antlers, hooves, and bones which is great because it keeps her from chewing on things she shouldn't. She has a very strong desire to please, and LOVES to snuggle and be near me. She will plop herself unceremoniously on my lap and cover me in kisses whenever she feels like it. And she enjoys laying near and on top of the other pups as well. Bailey had to remind her once that her bones are a little older and don't enjoy being stepped on, and Lady kissed her face all over as if to "oh I'm so sorry, please forgive me, okay come on let's play now!"
I put the kiddie pool out for the pups and though Lady was a little cautious of it yesterday and would only use it for a water dish, today she was much more brave and hopped in and chased and splashed the water.
She will very easily follow a treat into her crate and hasn't tried to tear apart the blanket I put in there for her. When she's crated and the other pups are in there because I'm running an errand, she'll give a plaintive bark or two, but settle quickly. I've crated her at night and she settles after a bit. The first night she didn't have much chance to run off her energy so it took her a while, but last night she was exhausted and was quiet after about 2 minutes and slept all night! Lady is 100% crate trained and about 99% house trained (though I'm kind of blaming the human for that missing 1%...).
Lady definitely needs more training - we're working on sit now, and she's almost got it down. She is quite smart though. Tennis balls are outside only toys and she has already figured that out and drops hers before coming back in the house now- so she is very trainable! She'll need a family that really wants to help her get all that extra energy out. Lady would probably love to have a young canine companion to play with, but since she is very human love oriented too, as long as the humans can help exhaust her, I don't think she needs one.

Lita is a 5 year old spayed black female. She is up to date on her shots and is heartworm negative. She is good with other dogs and is approved for kids aged 10 and up. She weighs 65 lbs. Lita is a special girl who was a favorite among all who have met her.
Update from Lita's foster family - 6/4/2013
Lita has our routine down, or should I say we have hers! When she gets up, we go outside to take care of business and play with the chuck-it for about 15 minutes and they go inside to have breakfast. Then she and Aiden our lab, will play and roughhouse while I get dressed and do a few things. She loves to sit on our front porch, while my husband is reading the paper and watch the world go by. Lita is very interested in everything from afar, and not much gets past her. She is not a barker at all, but if she sees something out of the ordinary she gets very alert and wants to make sure I know about it. We then head out for our morning walk and swim at either one of the local community parks or the National Forest.
When we are walking she constantly has a tennis ball in her mouth, just in case we feel the need to throw it for her. Of course, we do and besides swimming her second and very close favorite thing is retrieving. Nothing gets better in her life when we can do both at the river. When we get home, we immediately need to go to the backyard for the next morning patrol and game of chuck-it because of course she hasn't done anything yet, or at least she will try to convince you of that. When I finally tell her that I have others things I need to do, she is a very willing supervisor and assistant. She is rarely far from my side, not demanding attention, but always available in case I feel the need to throw a ball or if an attack robin comes near that she needs to defend us from.
Lita absolutely loves our lab, and will play, sleep, and now has become very dependent on him for clues on new situations. Of course, he loves everyone and thinks everyone should absolutely adore him, so this has helped her tremendously. She will now step back and watch his interactions for awhile and now will volunteer to step forward and let someone new pet her. Lita has made such wonderful strides and we are so proud of her, we love her dearly. As I am typing this she is dropping a tennis ball on Aiden's head trying to get him to play with her since I am being so boring typing on the computer. She has won once again, and they are playing as we speak. One of her new favorite games if Aiden and I are being completely boring and my husband is busy is, if we are upstairs to drop her ball at the top of the stairs and watch it bounce down then charge after it and keep on repeating it until she gets one of us to stop what we are doing and play with her. We just repeat the same in the afternoon at a different park. Lita loves life and being outside. A tired Lita is a very happy Lita.

He is good with other dogs and should go to a home with another dog. He is approved for kids aged 10 and up.

Macon will make a wonderful addition to a family if they have a little patience and give him a lot of love.

Maggie is a 10 year old spayed black female. She is up to date on her shots and is heartworm negative. She is good with other dogs but not cats, and is approved for kids aged 1 and up. She weighs 63 lbs and should gain 5-10 lbs.
Update from Maggie's foster family - 6/8/2013
Just look at that smile! Maggie continues to be AWESOME! She loves to play with all the dogs, especially loves the young puppies and will romp and roll with them for hours. She plays mama to everyone here and makes sure they are acting right - so funny! She is such a sweetheart who not only gets along with other dogs and loves all people, she is great with chidren of all ages. She settles so nicely inside and is just a very easy girl! Maggie is like the spunky old lady that still cuts her own grass and won't let anyone bring her down for any reason! She has adjusted seamlessly to our routine. She is house and crate trained but because of her wonderful house manners, she doesn't nead one. She is however very food driven and it's best to keep everything away from her eye and nose level! Maggie likes to go for walks on a leash and rides well in the car. She knows the commands "sit,", "up," "easy", "stay", "drop it" and "lay down." She will make someone looking for a sweet, southern belle very happy!

Max #2 is a 8 year old yellow neutered male. He is up to date on his shots and is heart worm negative. He is good with other dogs and is approved for kids aged 10 and up. He weighs 58 lbs. Max enjoys the company of other dogs.
Update from Max's foster family 4/30/2013
Max is such a fun foster! He loves his toys and will walk around the house with one in his mouth. When we go outside, he will wait and let me go out the door first and then he will follow - what a gentleman! Max likes going for walks and is a strong boy so an easy walk harness is a must. He is a very easy boy and does well in a house with lots of commotion and other dogs including some very small and yappy ones. He has such great house manners has the run of the house!
Max likes to lay on the patio or on the grass in the sun. He LOVES my husband and son. He likes his treats and loves to cuddle with his people. He is a smart boy and very affectionate. He enjoys being petted, doted on and likes it when you talk to him. He'll even nudge you with his nose to keep your focus on petting him. He also has the typical love of water! If someone is home more than not that would be great if not, he's best with another dog around. We are enjoying having him. He is a lot of fun!

Midnight and Princess are a bonded pair of 8 year old spayed female labs. Midnight is black and Princess is yellow. Both are up to date on their shots. They are approved for kids aged 10 and up. Midnight weighs 65 and Princess has slimmed down to an almost perfect weight of 50. They would like a home without other dogs and no cats.
Update from their foster family - 5/3/2013
The “girls” are more comfortable and sociable every day. They are interested in any attention we can give them and greet us when we see them. They have gotten better at coming when called, but are more responsive to Jerry than me (and I’m the one feeding them!). They have improved so much in new situations. They are becoming happy and well adjusted ladies.
They definitely would love a home that can give then lots of attention. They sit on command, whether in or out of the crate. They “pause” when told to “stay” or “wait,” so we’re still working on that one. They love their walks, and do well on the leashes. They have nice energy and are a lovely pair.
They have both lost weight and look very good now. They are really cute together and are a lot of fun with their interest in everything! They will make a family two really loving house pets who follow you around, etc. (just in case you drop something). They are comfortable either in their crates or on a big puffy dog bed by the door - they have never gotten on the furniture and have great house manners. They have learned to walk on leads and are not pulling as much; tails up etc. They love to be loved and return the affection. They will hang out together in the same crate or bed, are very comfortable with each other and are also very playful. Cats are still a no-no.
Generally, if someone wants two very pretty, active older girls who accept as much love as you want to give, these are the ones. You just have to see the two of them together to see what a sweet, spry, bonded pair they are! In short, they have good looks, cute faces, great personalities and are just extremely loveable.

Nehemiah is a 4 year old black neutered male. He is up to date on his shots and is heartworm negative. He is good with other dogs and is approved for kids aged 10 and up. He weighs 40 lbs. He is a sweet and shy boy.
Update from Nehemiah's foster family - 6/8/2013
Nehemiah.....His name is bigger than he is! We call him Neo and he's already responding to it!! Neo is an appropriate name for him because it means "new" and EVERYTHING is new to him. He is a 40 pound, 4 year old blank slate. We are thinking that he has had very little exposure to the real world in his past life. Ordinary noises such as the washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, ice maker, hair dryer, etc., are totally foreign to him. Think of a dry sponge soaking up everything -- that's Neo! He is tentative in new situations, but given time, patience, no pressure and lots of food rewards this little guy will try anything. The first day he would go up the basement stairs but not down. He would, however, go down our outside deck stairs without any problems. We left the basement door open so that he could go and check out that "scary" (to him) area, if he chose, and in less than 24 hours he decided, on his own, that he could conquer the stairs. Then it was up and down and up and down a thousand times. He is living with our 9 year old Lab and sometimes he will follow her lead. Other times he just gets up the courage to try on his own. When I first used the vacuum cleaner I assumed he would panic and run away, but he didn't. He put distance between himself and the machine and watched. When the vacuum cleaner is turned off he has no difficulty approaching it.
Neo does have energy and loves to run. Although he is timid with some noises and in some situations, he is definitely not shy. He will approach people eagerly and loves other dogs. After just a few days he is the leader on our walks. Our 9 year Lab, who is usually a couch potato and can sometimes be aloof, is wrestling and running with him.
Neo is a happy, joyous dog and makes us laugh. Plus he is VERY cute! Everyone thinks he is a puppy and in someways he is. He is housebroken, sleeps through the night and doesn't chew on everything in sight.

Quincy is a 9 year old neutered yellow male. He is up to date on his shots and is heartworm negative. He is good with other dogs but thinks cats are fun to chase. He is approved for kids aged 10 and up. He weighs 81 lbs. Quincy loves a good rub and will sit all day long if you pet him. He is very low key but is getting more alert and more interested in squirrels, cats and little critters.He walks well on a leash.
Update from Quincy's foster family - 5/12/2013
Quincy has endeared himself to everyone in the family, human and canine—even the most alpha of the canines! He is a wonderful combination of gentility and strength. He takes treats gently, waits patiently for his dinner, and quietly puts his head in your lap to be petted. On the other hand, he doesn’t allow his physical weakness to keep him from doing what he wants--like climbing to the top floor of the townhouse to be with the rest of the family or going for long walks to explore the neighborhood. He has wonderful house manners.
Quincy loves chewing on bones, keeping track of the squirrels, cuddling with the other dogs, and having his ears scratched. If there is nothing else to do, he curls up on his bed, as close as possible to his human, and goes to sleep! Quincy is the perfect canine companion, who wants nothing more than to be at your side.
Quincy’s tale is one of determination and survival.
Quincy, a 9-year-old male yellow lab, came to Lab Rescue after spending his early years living in an auto parts yard. He didn’t receive basic care nor much food and water. After the auto parts yard closed for good, Quincy was left there to fend for himself. A former employee tried to stop by once a week to give him some food and water for a while, but eventually contacted animal control and alerted them to Quincy’s predicament. Quincy was picked up by authorities and brought to an area animal shelter. Quincy quickly stole the hearts of the staff at the shelter (and of the volunteers at Lab Rescue) and we were thankfully able to give him the second chance he deserves.
Despite his rough start in life, Quincy loves people and attention. He’ll even nudge your hand to let you know he’s still there and would appreciate any affection you’re willing to give.
Because he was kept in a small area, rarely allowed to stretch his legs, and was severely malnourished, Quincy came to us with severely weak back legs. Quite the determined guy, he has worked hard to strengthen his legs. When he first came to Lab Rescue, he could only walk very short distances and then would need a break. But once he got that break, he was determined to keep walking. He was unable to easily take stairs, but with lots of practice, he can now climb stairs on his own.

Reggie is a super friendly boy who spent a lot of time playing with other dogs and is a favorite among all who meet him. He walks well on a leash.
Update from Reggie's foster family - 6/18/2013
Reggie is a super friendly guy. Loves to be loved and puts his nose up in the air when you pet him like he is really enjoying it. He is so thin you can see his hip bones. He can go up and down the three deck steps with no problem and was running around the back yard like a youngster. He easily gets up onto the couch and bed but will get down when you say "off". What he really needs is a big soft dog bed of his own. We are enjoying fostering him he is fun to have around.

Update from Rory's foster family - 6/16/2013
Rory is doing great! Good car rider. Learning to sit when he greets people and not jump. So smart and learns very quickly. He loves the toy box and pulling out all the toys. I often times finding him throwing toys in the air to himself! So cute! He is liking his crate a little more and we are working on it but he does not need to be crated. He and Stella are out all day while I am gone with no issued. He loves to go on walks and will even do a little fetching with his toys now.
Rory has good house manners and he and Stella love playing together. He settles nicely in the house. He is great on leash. I use an easy harness with him and he walks right beside me the whole time almost stepping on my toes half the time! Rory knows sit and down. Other than that he either has just been following me around or laying down just hanging out. Rory is a sweetie and handsome!

Rowan is an 8 year old neutered yellow male. He is up to date on his shots and is heartworm negative. He is good with other dogs and cats and is approved for kids aged 10 and up. He weighs 56 lbs. He appears to have been a loved pet.
Update from Rowan's foster family - 6/16/2013
Rowan, aka Jake, has been enjoying his time in the country. Every day he becomes more "himself", relaxing, trusting. He has become a bit of a "guard dog", letting us know that someone is coming up the drive, whether it is the UPS guy or the barn cat. His bark is a little rusty, but he is getting the confidence to use it! Rowan/Jake has proven to be completely house broken, loves the air conditioning and loves his sisters. Everyday is playday here, and by the end of the day, he is tired and ready to sleep with his foster mom and his lab sisters, the flower girls Daisy and Lily Rose. Jake is really smart, too, listens carefully and tries his best to do what will make you happy. Today is the first day that he has shown any interest in a ball, but is now inseparable from his bright orange one, which he carries around and defends from all comers! It is a joy fostering this guy, but he awaits his "real" home with his own family. Come soon!
Rowan/Jake is a super sweet boy. He has become a very loving guy. He now lays down beside me when I am sitting on the porch, looking up at me like I am the best thing going. He has the best smile, loves his food, gets along with all our dogs and does not seem to care about the cats or chickens. He loves to ride! He also sits, downs and shakes. Jake is laid back, sleeps on the sofa and just loves people. He loves it when he's let out to run, even in the rain. He is playing much harder with the others, especially my little mixed black lab.

 Rowdy is a 4 year old neutered black male. He is up to date on his shots and is heartworm negative. He is good with other dogs and is approved for kids aged 10 and up. He weighs 60 lbs. He is sweet and well mannered. He pulls on a leash so an EZ Walk harness is recommended.
Update from Rowdy's foster family - 6/14/2013
Rowdy is a joy! He rode quietly in the car coming home, and had a very uneventful meeting with the resident labs. We have taken two long walks, seen lots of new places, people and dogs and had a bath at the local pet spa. A lot in a few hours, and he handled it all beautifully! He has made great friends with the neighborhood children. The kids love him, and have decided his name should be “Billy”. Perhaps more fitting, as he really isn’t rowdy at all.

Samm is a 9 month old neutered black male. He is up to date on his shots and is heartworm negative. He is good with other dogs and is approved for kids aged 10 and up. He weighs 50 lbs.
Update from Samm's foster family - 6/13/2013
Samm is doing great! He gets along with everybody. He especially loves the puppies He loves attention and is very affectionate.
I really cant say enough good things about this dog! If you are looking for a goofy, happy, easy to please, fun loving dog, that settles nicely, crates well and has great house manners then Sam is the dog for you! Sam loves life and it shows! He doesn't make a peep in the crate. Rides in the car excellent. Picks things up super fast. We already have sit down pat! He loves to chew on antlers and bones and shares his toys with the resident dog. They take turns chewing on the antlers and playing with toys like they have been friends forever. He walks well on a leash if you use a gentle leader and has a little pulling issue if you use a flat collar, but that is nothing that can't be fixed with a little training. Don't pass Sam up he is a great dog and will make a great addition to any family!

Sassy and Buster are a bonded pair who must be adopted together. They are approved for kids aged 4 and up. Buster is a 7 year old neutered yellow male and Sassy is a 7 year old spayed black female. They are both up to date on their shots and are heartworm negative.
Update from their foster family - 6/5/2013
Sassy and Buster are just pleasant and undemanding dogs, easy to care for, easy to fall in love with. They start each day with some tumbling and wrestling, and keep each other occupied if you want to sleep in for a while. Sassy has given up her crate at night to join the rest of the household for sleep. Another rescued dog, Charlie, visited last weekend and they welcomed him as if they’d known him all their lives, so they have proven again how adaptable and amenable they are. Charlie and Sassy had a grand time chasing each other around the yard and she has been much more playful with the others indoors, too. Both Buster and Sassy enjoy something to chew on, whether a dog toy or each other, but have very gentle mouths when it comes to taking treats . There is never a moment when Sassy and Buster are not just thrilled to be with you and to give loads of affection!
Each night the dog toys get put away, and each morning Sassy brings the toys, one at a time, back to her crate where she can keep an eye on them and have them close when it’s time for a nap. Buster loves playing fetch along with his foster sibling. With his big, beautiful head, he can probably carry four or five tennis balls at a time, but he is happy with one and always gives it back as soon as requested. This is helping with his weight loss, too, and you can see real progress in his girth. Sassy sometimes plays along, but her legs are shorter and she can’t keep up with him. Both of them enjoy wandering around in the yard and rolling in the grass or playing with each other indoors. Buster is generally within 6 inches of a person and wagging; Sassy loves attention just as much and is the master of the drive-by licking.
They know the “sit” and “down” commands, are quick to come when called and are comfortable with crates. Sassy will go into her crate for naps and prefers to sleep there at night. They’re good with other dogs but are clearly closely bonded and must stay together. Both of them have wonderful smiles which they would be very happy to share with you.

Stanley is an 8 year old yellow neutered male. He is up to date on his shots and is heartworm negative. He is good with other dogs and is approved for kids aged 10 and up. He weighs 63 lbs and should gain a few. Stanley is a goofy boy who rides very well and is crate trained. He has lots of love and spunk.
Update from Stanley's foster family - 5/3/2013
Stanley is doing great has learned many commands. He now comes when you call him even if it's in the opposite direction of food. He knows "sit," "stop," "off" and "down" and we're now working on the hand signal for "down". He's a bright little guy who learns quickly. All Stanley really needed was some love and reassurance for his true wonderful self to come out. He has also improved greatly on the counter surfing. I tell him "off" and he gets off. Sometimes he will sit next to me as I stand next to the stove and cook. Is he saying he wants cooking classes? His house manners have improved as well. He will chase a ball now and runs like mad to get it. He's got a TON of energy.
Stanley now has learned "crate." He'll go there, sight unseen, from the family room if he thinks he's getting a treat. When he gets out of his crate in the morning, he runs to the front door and jumps against it. No doubt in our minds that he wants his walk. This kid would make somebody a great jogging partner. He is so much more relaxed now. With that, the cute is also coming out. He is soooo cute. He will lie down next to you on the floor and sometimes put both paws on your knees. And he is an expert in giving lab leans and lab grins. He loves being loved and being with people. And he's good at play bowing and play bowing and play bowing -- trying to find the combination on the lock to make Chloe play with him. He is so persistent and she is so apathetic.

Sunshine is an 11 year old spayed yellow female. She is up to date on her shots and is heartworm negative. She is good with other dogs and cats and is approved for kids aged 10 and up. She weighs 68 lbs. She's a beautiful girl who doesn't realize that she's 11. She is frisky and lvoes to play. She knows sit, stay and come. She loves to go for walks and enjoys chasing a ball in her yard.
Update from Sunshine's foster family Jun 3, 2013:
Sunshine is a beautiful gal who doesn't realize she is 11. She is adjusting nicely in her foster home. She has energy and loves to walk and play. Her house manners are perfect - no counter surfing, accidents or barking. She does not get up on the furniture or the bed even when invited. She loves to be with her human and followed me around everywhere at first but is now getting use to just watching me instead of always being at my side. She is good with commands like sit, but thinks down means she is going to get a belly rub which she loves. She is good on the leash. She is crate trained and goes into it to nap, but I don’t shut the door - she has run of the house since she seems to be very acclimated to indoors and has never bothered anything. She gets along well with my other dog and, while interested in my cat, has made no effort to bother her in any way. Sunshine will make a great addition to any home. She is young at heart and a really lovable gal!

Tiny is a 6 year old yellow neutered male. He is up to date on his shots and is heartworm negative. He is good with other dogs and is approved for kids aged 10 and up. He weighs 45 lbs and should gain 10-15 lbs. Tiny isa very cute little lab that loves to be petted and loved. He seems very smart and eager to please, and so should be easy to train. Tiny will benefit from consistent training as he has never been to a formal class. He has a great lab lean and will roll on his back for belly rubs. He loves to run around the yard and splash in the kiddie pool on a warm day. Tiny has always been a country dog and we don't think he'd enjoy being a city dog.

Tippy is a 1 year old neutered yellow male. He is up to date on his shots and is heartworm negative. He is good with other dogs and must go to a home with another dog. He is good with cats and is approved for kids aged 3 and up. He weighs 70 lbs. Like most young labs Tippy requires training and exercise.
Update from Tippy's foster family 6/16/2013
Tippy is the sweetest, most loving boy ever! He is approved for kids 3 and up, great with other dogs (not an alpha bone in his body), and great with cats. Tippy needs to go to a home with a fenced in yard (NO E FENCE) and another doggie sibling. He is not a runner but he may bolt if spooked, so needs to be on a leash. He doesn't like a harness so I am using a Martingale collar on him. He walks great on a leash. Tippy doesn't need a quiet home (there is nothing quiet about my home) but he needs to be with a family that will respect his personality... he is not a "look at me, center of attention, party dog". He doesn't want to go to the neighbors cook out and make small talk with a bunch of strangers. And that's ok. He will wait patiently for you at home. He is such a lovebug -a bit of a ...velcro dog and loves to spoon. He has the softest fur EVER and I feel like a little kid again, going to sleep with my arms wrapped around my big soft teddy bear.
Tippy has really come all the way out of his shell and has discovered that he is only a year old and playing is fun! He has decided that there is more to the world than a bone or a tennis ball and is having a blast playing with the many toys littering our home. His new favorite is the "Jolly Pets Teaser Ball" and loves to kick it around, trying to get the ball inside the ball!
Tippy is a sweet boy and wants nothing more than to be loved and to give love. He takes treats gently and has a very soft mouth. Tippy does not jump and knows some basic commands, however he would benefit from formal obedience training. Tippy enjoys playing in the yard with my resident labs and gets along well with the resident cat. When in the house, Tippy likes to lay at your feet and just enjoy being with you. When it's bedtime, he goes right to the dog bed at the foot of our bed. He has a fondness for Nylabones and is beginning to show an interest in the 50 or so balls laying around our house (kind of hard for him to miss).
Tippy is housebroken but will go into his crate with no issues He is only a year old and still has the puppy tendency to chew if not watched carefully, therefore it is recommended that he is crated if alone in the home. Tippy is one of those dogs that gets under your skin and steals your heart. If you give him the time and reassure him you aren't going anywhere, he will love YOU and you will be his "person."
