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 >

Bella #3

Gender: 

Female

Age:

9 years

Good with:

Kids 10+, Dogs

Needs:

A loving forever home (fence negotiable)

Bellissimo!

THANKS TO A GENEROUS DONOR WHO WANTS TO HELP ALL SENIOR PUPS FIND THEIR FOREVER HOMES, THE ADOPTION FEE IS $125.


Beautiful Bella is the absolute best house guest. She is gentle with her foster’s resident senior dog and playful with the young one - for short periods, and then Bella tells her she's done and ready for nap time! Sometimes the young resident will curl up next to Bella for naps, and she appears to enjoy the company. She has good house manners and wants to please. It seems she believes she is not allowed on furniture, as Foster Mom will try to get her to come up on the lounger with her from time to time, and Bella will quickly get down. She sleeps on the floor - next to the dog bed, next to Foster Mom’s bed at night. Bella is so very sweet and lovable, and she can’t wait to find her new, forever family to share her love with.

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.

Grandad (aka as Buck)

Gender: 

Male

Age:

10 years

Good with:

Kids 10+, Dogs, No Cats

Needs:

A loving forever home

Gentle senior

THANKS TO A GENEROUS DONOR WHO WANTS TO HELP ALL SENIOR PUPS FIND THEIR FOREVER HOMES, THE ADOPTION FEE IS $125. 


Grandad (answers to Buck) is such a sweet, gentle fellow. He doesn’t ask for much; he is happy with a soft couch, two meals per day, a few treats, loving humans, and a yard to meander in. He enjoys a little company from his low-key canine foster siblings, too. He doesn’t need to live with another dog but would like a human companion around most of the time. It’s a bit of a challenge, but he can climb the stairs to sleep in Foster Mom’s room. He stays downstairs the rest of the day, unless she does something that he absolutely must investigate. He sleeps through the night and is the last to wake in the morning. He usually heads straight outside to do his business and wander around the yard for a few minutes before coming back in to eat. Then it’s time for the first of his several naps on the couch. He rides well in the car, using a platform step to get in, but he is not particularly interested in walks. Meandering around the yard is more his speed. Grandad is a low-key gentleman, a good eater who likes fruit, vegetables and especially eggs. He stays close to Foster Mom and enjoys attention and petting but doesn’t really seek it out. Grandad is a lovely and undemanding companion. He is very, very easy to have around.

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.  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!

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.
