BONDED PAIRS

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 >

Buck and Ruby

Gender: 

Male/Female bonded pair

Age:

2 years

Good with:

Kids 10+, Dogs

Needs:

A loving forever home with a physical fence (preferred)

A Pair of Gems!

Ruby and Buck are a handsome pair of 2 yr old Labs who were surrendered to Lab Rescue. They had been living outside for the past year due to their owner not having the time to spend with them or work with them. Their prior owner said they are crate trained but they haven't been in a crate for quite a while due to living outside. We have been told that Ruby likes to retrieve and Buck likes to chase the ball but may not actually pick it up or bring it back. Ruby and Buck are sweet and lovable and looking for their new forever home. Their favorite things are people and getting attention. More on this gorgeous pair as we get to know them.

Casey and Nathan

Gender: 

Male/Male bonded pair

Age:

1 year 2 months

Good with:

Kids 10+, Dogs

Needs:

A loving forever home with a 6 ft fence

Bonded Bros

Casey and Nathan are bonded brothers who must be adopted together. Casey is moderately more social than Nathan and has more natural curiosity and willingness to interact. Their progress continues to be steady but gradual, which is very typical for dogs who come in fearful and under-socialized. While they are still quite hesitant about direct human interaction, they have made some meaningful gains in trust. Both dogs will now approach for food and will take treats. Though not yet comfortable with petting or handling, when outside they often choose to stay nearby, hovering at a distance, which shows their curiosity and desire to be near people, even while they’re still working through some fear. They are making some progress walking on leash, but at this stage they would not thrive in a home that relies heavily on leash walking for exercise. They are much more comfortable in secure, familiar environments. Day-to-day management with them has become easy, and both boys really enjoy enrichment activities. They are very funny and endearing together, still very much in that silly adolescent stage. They play well, get into harmless mischief together, and clearly take comfort in one another’s company. Though good with other dogs, they remain strongly bonded and rarely choose to be far apart. With patience and love, these brothers have made a lot of progress since coming to Lab Rescue, and their future looks so bright, they’re going to need shades!

Cash #6 and Kirby

Gender: 

Male/Male bonded pair

Age:

6 years/4 years

Good with:

Kids 10+, Dogs, No Cats

Needs:

A loving forever home with a physical fence

Dynamic duo!

Cash and Kirby are an easy pair who just want to share affection, warmth, and cuddles. They have very few demands. These boys are a true bonded pair of besties. Cash loves butt scratches and sturdy toys. Kirby loves to nap in hilarious positions and prefers to be close to his humans at all times. The boys enjoy car rides and are very well behaved in the house, but keep an eye on your counters and trash cans. Snuggling with Foster Mom was enough to keep them calm and comfortable during 4th of July fireworks. The pups are polite and friendly greeting all visitors with wagging tails. Cash and Kirby will thrive with a family who is around more often than not, and a big backyard would be a bonus. A strong handler is a must as these two big boys get uber excited when the leashes come out. Anyone looking to add fun and affection to their family will be very lucky to have them.

Dame Judy and Okie

Gender: 

Female/Male bonded pair

Age:

5 years / 3 years

Good with:

Kids 10+, Dogs

Needs:

A loving forever home

Love a good romance?

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!

Diesel and Luna #4

Gender: 

Male/Female Bonded Pair

Age:

2 years/3 years

Good with:

Kids 10+, Dogs, Cats

Needs:

A loving forever home

Double the fun!

Diesel (male, black, age 2) and Luna (female, chocolate, age 3) are a son and mother bonded pair who have always lived together and need to be adopted together. They are so happy that Lab Rescue will be finding them a new family to love. They were abandoned by their previous owner and a kind family took them in to care for them. However, the family already had 4 rescue dogs and 7 cats so they already had a full house. Diesel and Luna deserve a loving home of their own and Lab Rescue is here to provide that! They love being with other dogs and have a great time playing with them. They are affectionate and crave attention. Swimming is a treat for them. Diesel and Luna are looking forward to a patient family that will show them the luxuries of soft and comfy beds, lots of attention, generous play time, toys, and a taste of the sweeter things in a dog's life.

Male/Female Bonded Pair

Age:

9 years/8 years

Good with:

Kids 10+, Dogs

Needs:

A loving forever home, fence preferred

Best buds forever!

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. These two sweethearts are excited for their next chapter in a forever home, where they can receive the love and attention they deserve.

Our Golden Girls!

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


Maggie and Ellie are sweet seniors searching for a home together. After spending the past 11 years with a loving family, the girls returned to Lab Rescue when their elderly adopter could no longer care for them. They are now hoping to find another family to love. Maggie is a gentle, affectionate girl who takes comfort from having Ellie by her side. Thunderstorms can be scary for her, and Ellie helps her feel safe until the storm passes. Once she settles in, Maggie is happiest relaxing with her people and enjoying the simple comforts of home. Ellie is the confident half of this bonded pair. She is the brave one who happily leads the way into new situations and helps Maggie feel safe when she needs a little reassurance. While they are both seniors, they still enjoy leisurely walks, relaxing near their people, and soaking up all the love and attention they can get. These beautiful girls are looking for a comfortable home they can grow older together. They are not asking for much, just a cozy bed, gentle companionship, and a family who appreciates the quiet joy that senior dogs bring.

He is quite attached to Sallie Mae and feels the best when they're together. And of course, Sallie Mae loves him too! She is the sweetest girl. Sallie Mae loves human attention, as well. They both do well on leash walks and appear house trained. Now, they just need a forever home to open their hearts to them - these two have a lot of lovin' to give in return!

Jaxx and Jett

Gender: 

Male/Male Bonded Pair

Age:

1 year

Good with:

Kids 10+, Dogs

Needs:

A loving forever home with a physical fence

Best Buds!

Jaxx and Jett are bonded siblings. Jett is outgoing and will come up to greet you, Jaxx is a little shy at first and hangs back to see what Jett is going to do. Once they meet you they come up to get attention and treats. They are friendly and love being with people. When they are out playing and retrieving, they race each other to see who gets the toy first. Jaxx is a little faster but Jett gets his share. They take treats nicely, better have two if they are together as they both expect to get one. They slept with their previous owner either on a dog bed or on her bed. They would like to have an active family with a fenced yard that will give them love, attention, training and lots of exercise so they can thrive.

Dynamic Mother/Daughter Duo

Jodie and Ginger are a dynamic bonded duo and must be adopted together. This mother (Jodie) and daughter (Ginger) pair came from a breeding farm. It's unknown how many litters they had. Ginger absolutely cannot live without her mom but still tries to push her boundaries like a lot of daughters do to their moms! Ginger will try to be the boss and push Jodie out of the way to get attention and eat some of her food.They both walk nicely on lead. They have never lived in a house and have not been exposed to indoor living so they will need a patient family who will allow them time to adjust. These lovely ladies are super friendly and easy going. They both love hugs! Jodie and Ginger are looking forward to the luxuries of living in a warm, cool, secure home with lots of comfy, squishy beds and reduced-calorie treats after all these years.

The world of sweet Markie and Lil Joe continues to get better everyday. There has been tremendous positive change for these two over the last few months. Lil Joe has no trepidation about humans and will greet you to say hello. Markie still likes treats to say hello, but she will stick around for pets too. These two currently reside with a foster who runs a doggy daycare, and they absolutely love the other dogs. They greet the humans at the gate, but their true desire is playing with their four-legged friends when they get a chance. Their foster says they settle down well and have a nice demeanor. Markie (nicknamed CiCi) and LJ (nicknamed Bubba) aren't super in your space snugglers, but they will sleep close to you. Their gorgeous eyes that used to be full of fear are now full of curiosity and understanding. Their next owner will spend years lost in those eyes!I Wouldn't you like to share your love and your home with this delightful duo? The reward of trust will melt your heart!  🖤
