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 >

A Pair of Gems!
Buck (black) and Ruby (yellow) continue to do well in their foster home, winning hearts and minds while they wait for their forever home. They are adjusting well to suburban life and are eagerly awaiting their next stop. They love each other, and they're looking for a human to round out their pack! They're good house guests, pretty good on walks, good in their crates, food motivated, and very people friendly.

A loving forever home with a 6 ft fence
Bonded Bros
Casey and Nathan have been in foster for a bit now, and in some ways, not having a dramatic update is a good thing. They’ve settled into a routine, they know what to expect, and they’ve made a lot of quiet progress. When they first arrived, both boys were extremely wary. Moving them from one place to another often involved herding them because their instinct was simply to put as much distance as possible between themselves and a person. These days, they come in and out of the house on their own, happily follow the household routine, and will take treats directly from their foster mother’s hand. What they do love is having a big, securely fenced yard where they can run, wrestle, explore, and just be dogs. They are active and playful and very bonded to one another. Inside, they’re still perfectly capable of getting into puppy mischief, so they are crate trained and crated when they can’t be supervised. Fortunately, both are very comfortable and content in their crates. They also get along well with other dogs. Their ideal home is one that appreciates them for who they are: sweet, playful companions who may never be the dogs who want to accompany you to a brewery, greet every visitor, or spend the evening trying to crawl into your lap. They’d much rather have their familiar people, their predictable routine, each other, and a great yard to play in. They’ve come a very long way. Their world has gotten much bigger—and they’re ready for someone who can give them a safe, comfortable little corner of it to call their own.

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!

Duke #5/Bella #4
Gender:
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.

Ellie and Maggie
Gender:
Female/Female Bonded Pair
Age:
Both 13 years
Good with:
Kids 10+, Dogs
Needs:
A loving forever home, fence negotiable
Our Golden Girls!
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.

Jodie and Ginger
Gender:
Female/Female bonded pair
Age:
10 years/9 years
Good with:
Kids 10+, Dogs
Needs:
A loving forever home
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.

Markie and Little Joe

Age:
Both 4 years
Good with:
Kids 10+, Dogs
Needs:
A loving forever home with a physical fence
""Together where ever we goooo!"
THANKS TO GENEROUS DONORS THE ADOPTION FEE FOR THIS PAIR IS $350.
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, and 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. Over time, they have grown to love snuggles with humans as much as they like to cuddle with each other - they will sleep like one doggy pretzel all tangled together! 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!! Truly, the strides they have made in trusting not only their foster mom, but any human that might come their way, have been astonishing. Wouldn't you like to share your love and your home with this delightful duo? The reward of trust will melt your heart!
