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 >

Sweet Sisters!
Addie and Grace are siblings even though they look completely different. Addie looks like the typical good looking Lab and Addie looks like a poodle. Their mother is a Labradoodle and their father is a Black Lab. Grace is the more outgoing and playful while it takes Addie a few minutes to warm up to you. Grace likes to chase after toys and Addie keeps her company to make sure she gets them. They like stuffed toys, kongs and nylabones. They would like a family that has a yard and will give them the love, training, and exercise they need.

Double the Love!
Bonded pair, Willie & Billie, have been together since they were pups. Willie has some brindle coloring, and Billie is all black. Where one goes, the other is not far behind. Willie is the first to investigate and come up to meet you, and Billie is right behind him. These cuties are happy to meet everyone with their tails wagging and love getting their bellies and heads rubbed. They have their hearts set on a home with a family who has a fenced yard where they can safely run, retrieve, and play and who will give them love and attention, which they'll return many, many times over!

Twice as much fun!
Jenny (r) and Hayley (l) are always playing together and running outside! If you have a big, fenced yard and like to watch dogs have fun… this could be your pair! Jenny and Hayley became a bonded pair when they met in their foster home, and these shy beauties have been inseparable ever since. They give each other confidence and enjoy hanging with other dogs as well -- the more, the merrier! They also are also good with cats. Jenny will do just about anything for a treat (or a belly rub), and Hayley feels very brave around Jenny. When they feel the time is right, they will hang out with you on the couch and cover your hands with kisses or enjoy belly rubs! They have sweet, happy personalities that complement each other in a wonderful way, but they are also shy and are still learning about the world. They need a fenced yard because these inseparable playmates will run as fast as they can in the backyard, putting on a very entertaining show, and then take a long nap until the next play session. They both have very good recall and get rewarded with treats when they try something new. The girls have been bravely exploring new territories, whether it's taking a longer walk or going to a new location in the car. Jenny & Hayley are looking for a patient family in a quiet neighborhood that is willing to work with them and let them approach on their terms, with someone home more often than not. The girls will need some extra time to get to know their humans and figure out their surroundings. Although they need to move at their own pace, it is heartwarming to see them gain confidence and trust each day. Jenny & Hayley will thrive in a loving family!

Lily #3 & Suzi
Gender:
Female/Female bonded pair
Age:
7 years
Good with:
Kids 10+, Dogs, Cats
Needs:
A loving forever home/Extra pairs discount
Gold medal champions!
These sweet sisters are quite affectionate between their walks, play, and naps. Lily's life motto is “Eat, Love, Play, Sleep” as she excitedly explores her world and watches for the critters that each new day brings. Suzi is more low-key and enjoys her quiet neighborhood watch from the window seat when she’s not napping or snuggling with Foster Mom. Both dogs prove to be good sports as their Foster Mom/Coach prepares them for the Olympics. After showing impressive ability on the hurdles, Coach thought Lily & Suzi would be well suited to pole vaulting. Not having opposable thumbs put them at a disadvantage, and Lily did attempt to find were way around the pole though is unlikely to be on the podium. Suzi, on the other hand, politely sniffed at the pole and then declined as she reminded Coach that the only thing that goes in her mouth is food – and that’s only if it passes the sniff test! These girls are a joy to train and want nothing more than to hang out, give kisses, and gaze adoringly.
