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: Dogs & puppies currently approved for townhomes are noted as such. Apartment dwellers can only adopt apartment-approved puppies; we rarely have adult dogs who are approved for apartments. These policies are in place because many of our dogs come from rural areas, where they have limited exposure to cars, new people and dogs, unexpected noises, and being leashed. To limit stress and ease them into new experiences, we initially limit placement to single-family homes. As we get to know their preferences, we may expand their placement to include townhomes.  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 >
