Blaze: is a very handsome guy who has nice manners, loves to be with his people, and loves to play. For a young pup, he is laid back and, of course, he enjoys getting attention. He likes to play with toys, and if you toss one, he will go get it and brings it back… most of the time. He’s a fun boy who also likes to go swimming, rides nicely on a tether, and takes treats gently. Blaze would like a family that has a fenced yard and will give him the attention, love and exercise he needs. They will be getting an awesome pup with a delightful personality and lots of love to give. He deserves a wonderful home to match.

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!

Brownie is a huge snuggle-bug and prefers to be with his humans as much as possible, as close as possible, preferably on the couch or a comfy bed! He was adopted from us several years ago, but since then his family has grown with the addition of a toddler and a newborn. Brownie wasn't so keen on these new, unpredictable additions to his life, and his family made the hard decision to help him find a family where can get the attention and activity they could no longer give him. He's a very friendly guy who can be overly-enthusiastic when meeting and greeting new people and dogs. He lived happily with an older, laid-back, male dog and played well at boarding with other dogs.  However, he has a high prey drive, so no cats or small dogs in his new home please. He will enjoy an adopter who is as enthusiastic as he is for daily walks and romps in the yard. This wonderful, lovable guy knows his basic commands and has good house manners. His new family will welcome home a sweet, energetic, older pup who is looking for a home free of tiny children, plenty of exercise and attention, and all the snuggles! 

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.

Bunty has been out of the kennel for a while and he is settling in to being his best self! He loves to hang out and explore the house and yard. Bunty thrives on routine and has learned to sit and wait for dinner. He knows to wait after breakfast for his walk and curls up in the ottoman until it’s time. He’s very smart and is learning to go to his spot. He’s still working on greeting visitors as he gets so excited, but he can be redirected now. Bunty greets people well on walks. He always wants to play with dogs he meets and is getting better at walking past. Overall, he’s a great walker, especially on an easy harness. Bunty rides well in the car and gets a 5 star passenger rating. He loves to snuggle, he’s very cute, he just wants to be with people and he’s a happy guy!

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!

Jenny (female, 3 years) and Dingy (male, 2.5 years) are an incredibly sweet pair of pups. They love each other so must be adopted together and they crave human interaction. They are clean in their kennel and pretty good on leash, nice riders too. They love playing outside in the yard together and will amuse themsleves for hours. Dingy is the larger of the two and his fur is a little wavy but both are equally awesome! They are unknown with cats but show no reaction to the vet cats. More on this stunning pair as we get to know them.

Dr Pepper is a sweet, shy pup when he’s by himself. But let another dog enter the room, and it’s game on! He turns into a very playful boy when he has another canine pal with him. Dr Pepper came from a home with a number of dogs when their owner could no longer care for them. He and one of his more outgoing brothers came into Lab Rescue looking for a new home and a new life. They are not a bonded pair are being adopted separately. Dr. Pepper wants to shine his own sparkling light. This super-sweet, lovable guy with those adorable ears that just beg to be petted can’t wait to meet you and start his new life.

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!) if allowed. When he’s happy, his charismatic smile, spinning tail, and little happy dance are guaranteed to make you laugh. Easton knows his basic commands, has excellent house manners, enjoys going for a 1.0-1.5 mile walk, meets dogs nicely on leash, and barks only when appropriate. He ignores the verbal dogs in the adjacent backyard - Foster Mom  wishes she could do the same. Outside he’s fast, strong, energetic, and loves chasing squirrels, so he needs room to run in a secure yard. Sadly, Easton’s adopter has been in and out of the hospital. The inconsistency has been hard on this sweet guy, so he’s hoping Lab Rescue will help him find someone or a family who will provide a consistent home with lots of attention, exercise, and love. He’ll be a wonderful, fun, affectionate companion.

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.

Inky/Rappahannock from the River litter is a typical sweet, friendly, bouncy adolescent pup. He was adopted as a tiny puppy, but came back to us when his adopters weren't able to care for him. Like any young pup, he needs adequate exercise and stimulation to help him burn his daily energy. He loves to chew toys, so having many appropriate options available is a must. He is crate trained and knows some basic commands. He is very food motivated which will continue to help with training. Inky loves car rides and playing with a tennis ball in the house. This little Lab mix is looking for his forever home.
