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

Beautiful Bella is the absolute best house guest. She is gentle with her foster’s resident senior dog and playful with the young one - for short periods, and then Bella tells her she's done and ready for nap time! Sometimes the young resident will curl up next to Bella for naps, and she appears to enjoy the company. She has good house manners and wants to please. It seems she believes she is not allowed on furniture, as Foster Mom will try to get her to come up on the lounger with her from time to time, and Bella will quickly get down. She sleeps on the floor - next to the dog bed, next to Foster Mom’s bed at night. Bella is so very sweet and lovable, and she can’t wait to find her new, forever family to share her love with.

Birk is a sweet, friendly, curious love bug! He greets people with his young-dog exuberance, but quickly calms and alternates between playing with the resident pups, checking in with the humans, and relaxing in the shade. He loves playing with another dog and needs a buddy willing to roughhouse with him. He responds well when his playmate asks for a break. Birk is a sweet, happy, loving boy who will make a wonderful addition to a family willing to give him the love and exercise a young dog needs. Come meet Birk today!

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, while also having a playful side - he's learned to relax and let his true self shine! One especially sweet note from his trial home: when Bobby had his people all to himself, he quickly shows just how much he loves close companionship and becomes a true “Velcro dog,” happily bonding and sticking close to his humans. Bobby is a loving, affectionate boy who will thrive in a calm, pet-free home with people who are comfortable with a large dog and appreciate a loyal companion who likes to stay close. He’s ready for the right match to come along and see just how special he is.

Boomer is an energetic boy that loves to play and loves his treats. He will sit for treats and he is very treat motivated, which will be good for his training. He really wants to please and will need someone that will work with him on training to help him become the best boy we know he can be. He loves car rides and is even more excited to find out what the destination is. Boomer can't wait to find his family that will give him the love, training, and attention he needs. This special someone will be getting the very best friend in return!

This guy is a CHARMER! Brando the Bass-a-dor is a sweet, handsome, and social guy. He was surrendered to the shelter when the new neighbors didn't want him coming over to visit. He was surrendered with the 2 other pups he lived with who went to other rescues. Mister Brando was fine hanging out at the shelter an extra day if it meant coming to Lab Rescue. While he was there he demonstrated to the staff that he is friendly, lovable, and social. They even let him go in the cat room and meet the kitty that wonders freely in there. He gave a nice hello and moved on to get more pets from the humans. Brando is reported to be house trained. He was wonderful for the Vet staff and did great meeting other dogs at the shelter. He's just an all-around great pup who would love to leave the kennel and head home!

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.

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. Of course, he also loves pets and treats. He's even been swimming and had a blast in the lake. In the car, he settles down and enjoys the view. He will make some lucky family a super companion!

Butch and Sundance were the last of a litter that the owner could not place so they asked us for help. These boys are good together but do not have to be adopted together. Butch is very friendly and outgoing. He loves to be loved on and is very affectionate. He has jumped a 4 ft fence but only to get to the dogs in the play yard on the other side. Butch is a good boy who is keeping his run clean. More on him soon!

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 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. 

Handsome Chernyy is a friendly, affectionate boy who loves people and is filled with enthusiasm and positive energy. He’s a strong, solid boy who sometimes doesn't seem to realize how big he is but is working on learning more about personal space. He already knows everything there is to know about loving on people! Chernyy also loves to rub his face on blankets and will hurl himself enthusiastically onto the bed to get a good roll in. He is very food motivated and is well-mannered in the house… as long as all the food is put away. He walks nicely on leash but may occasionally pull when he catches a scent. He  loves chasing squirrels and chipmunks in the yard. Chernyy would benefit from a strong home environment with set rules and schedules. If you are looking for a sweet, social boy who will happily join you for walks and then settle in for family time, Chernyy is ready to meet you! 

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!

Deke is a young, lovable, energetic Lab with a puppy attitude towards life. Right now its all about having fun and going full speed ahead. Deke was found as a stray so we don't know much him. But what we do know is that he is as sweet and lovable as he is silly and rambunctious. He will come with a training addendum which will be a great tool for him and his new family to learn about each other. Deke is having a great time in boarding and daycare. He really wishes he was having this much fun in a home of his own. This handsome boy is ready for his new family or person and can't wait to meet them! While at daycare, he got to try his hand, or should I say his nose, at the scent room.

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.
