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 >

Good with:
Kids 10+, Dogs
Needs:
A loving forever home with a physical fence
Sweet Senior
THANKS TO A GENEROUS DONOR WHO WANTS TO HELP ALL SENIOR PUPS FIND THEIR FOREVER HOMES, THE ADOPTION FEE IS $125.
Eddy is a loyal companion who offers the perfect balance of gentle energy and total relaxation. He is an adorable senior who clearly never looked at his birth certificate. He has a joyful pep in his step and a wonderfully youthful outlook on life. Eddy loves car rides, short walks, and generally just being wherever his people are. He is quiet, polite, and very well-behaved indoors. Eddy is a gold-medal lounger who loves cozying up on dog beds, sofas, and chairs. He walks beautifully on a leash and never pulls. He prefers a leisurely pace with plenty of time to sniff the roses! Eddy enjoys meeting other dogs and going on pack walks. His calm, peaceful nature means he avoids any doggie drama. He has a lovely play bow! He is highly food-motivated, making him an incredibly quick learner. Eddy has poor vision, the result of a degenerative retinal disease, but he does not let that slow him down for a second! He navigates stairs and furniture like an absolute pro, as long as his humans aren't redecorating frequently. Because he relies on his ears rather than his eyes, he responds wonderfully to voice commands. His ideal family will need to talk to him instead of using hand signals. If you are looking for a sweet, affectionate, and low-maintenance best friend to share your couch and your heart, Eddy is ready to meet you!

Good with:
Kids 10+, Dogs, No Cats
Needs:
A loving forever home
Gentle senior

Grandad is doing well in his foster home. He is house trained and his foster mom has never tried to put him in a crate because it is unnecessary. Grandad goes to the door when he needs to go out and enjoys being outside. He does not need a fenced yard but he does like to meander. Grandad sleeps through the night - upstairs - by his choice. The stairs are challenging for him but he can do them. Grandad’s walks are very short and slow, about 5 minutes; he loves to go and wait at the door as leashes are attached. He is a very patient guy. Grandad interacts with the quieter resident dogs and stays out of the way of the most active. He doesn’t need to live with another dog but would like a human companion around most of the time. He spends much of his day on the couch and generally very gingerly climbs onto it. His greatest bursts of energy occur occasionally when he vaults onto the couch. Grandad is a lovely and undemanding companion.

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. 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!

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.
