SENIOR LABS
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 >
Abbie
Gender:
Female
Age:
9 years
Good with:
Kids 10+, Dogs, No Cats
Needs:
A loving forever home with a male dog for companionship
All about Abbie!
Abbie is the sweetest girl! She plays very well with her foster brother, but also loves to be close to humans at all times. Abbie is a master snuggler, and "velcro" dog. She might be a senior, but she keeps up with her puppy foster brother. Abbie loves to fetch the ball. She listens well to the word "no," and all she wants is for her people to be happy, which makes setting boundaries easy! She is crate trained and goes happily into the crate to lay down while her foster family eats dinner. And a fun fact - Abbie chases her tail when she has the zoomies! She does prefer to have her humans home more than not, and benefits from the company of another male dog to let her know she's safe. Anyone seeking a senior girl would be lucky to have her!
Duke #2
Gender:
Male
Age:
10 years
Good with:
Kids 10+, Dogs
Needs:
A loving forever home with limited steps, fence negotiable
A true gentleman!
Handsome, dark chocolate Duke #2 is ready for his forever home! His owner passed away not too long ago, and unfortunately no one could take Duke in. He is having an absolute blast with his fosters, who take him for at least 4 walks a day (and sometimes he cons Foster Mom into taking another walk!). He has lots of energy for all the new, fun things in life. Duke has excellent house manners and is very well behaved. Duke is very cuddly but he also enjoys just lying on his bed while his humans are working. If you are looking for an eager to please, cuddly, sweet pup, Duke’s your guy!

Jacey
Gender:
Female
Age:
9 years
Good with:
Kids 10+, Dogs
Needs:
A loving forever home with a physical fence and another dog
Happy girl just finding her way!
Sweet, gentle Jacey has really started to come out of her shell. She’s still a bit timid, but she’s such a happy girl. When the mood strikes, she’ll join in playtime; and when she’s done, she’s perfectly content relaxing in her crate or curled up in her bed. She travels beautifully in the car and is truly such an easy, delightful dog to have around. Her favorite thing is playing with her best friend, the resident dog! They love to wrestle and run about in the yard. Jacey is so excited to see her friend every morning. She will need a home with another dog who is just as playful and confident as her newest friend. Although she may never be a super cuddle-bug and will startle if you move too quickly in the house or yard, she is a gentle, kind soul who wants so much to be loved, she's continuing to work on being brave in order get the attention she seems to crave. Jacey is considered hospice due to the malignant growth in her mouth, but someone forgot to tell her. Her zest for life is contagious! Her tail does not stop wagging! Jacey is such a sweet, happy companion who just wants love and gentle pets from her patient people.

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.
Max and Morris
Gender:
Male, Male Bonded Pair
Age:
Both 10 years
Good with:
Kids 10+, Dogs
Needs:
A loving forever home
Double the fun!
THANKS TO A GENEROUS DONOR WHO WANTS TO HELP ALL SENIOR PUPS FIND THEIR FOREVER HOMES, THE ADOPTION FEE FOR THE PAIR IS $150.
This delightful, curious, friendly, housebroken, bonded pair of chocolate boys was adopted from Lab Rescue 9 years ago, moved to Florida with their mom, and unfortunately lost their mom in February. After a trip back to Lab Rescue for vetting, they have spent the past month decompressing in their foster home. Morris (Mo), with a touch more frosting on his face, is a bit more outgoing than his brother Max even though he is slightly vision impaired. Max helps him out and they both do fine. They are real homebodies and love being with people. They have a good deal of pep in their step and enjoy a spirited game of bitey-face with each other before they might check out a toy or see if foster mom left any treats out where they can get them. Both dogs love to spend some time on their backs, wiggling with infectious joy. Do you want to continue to teach these adorable old dogs new tricks? If so, this pair will reward you with kisses, delight you with their sweet personalities, and exceed your expectations!!
Nova #2
Gender:
Female
Age:
12 years
Good with:
Kids 10+, Dogs
Needs:
A loving home with few stairs
Beautiful Stellar Girl!
THANKS TO A GENEROUS DONOR WHO WANTS TO HELP ALL SENIOR PUPS FIND THEIR FOREVER HOMES, THE ADOPTION FEE IS $125.
Nova #2 is an absolute sweetheart! She is very low maintenance and really enjoys a soft spot. She has a couple dog beds she has an affinity for. She sleeps a lot of the day and then peacefully through the night on her dog bed in the bedroom. She really enjoys wandering in the yard and loves that the front yard of her foster home is fenced so she can wander and lounge and check out all the new smells, returning when she is satisfied all is well. Nova is good with other dogs but can get knocked over by the younger ones, so she will do best in a home without rambunctious pups. This lovely lady also needs a home with very few stairs, as she has age-related arthritis. She looks for a reward after being a really good girl (which is very often) and takes her treats very gently. Nova is just a sweet, easy-going, older girl looking for love and a soft spot to lay her head.
