MaxineMaximo2Meet Maxine and Maximo. Maxine, the more blonde color, and Maximo, with a fox red color, are siblings and came to us from a high-kill shelter. Both are about 4 to 5 months old and have that wonderful lab temperament and both are very nice looking puppies. Maximo is a very big guy weighing about 40 lbs already. He is going to be a stocky guy and will probably get to be on the bigger side. Maxine is such a cutey and is a little more petite then her brother, weighing about 30 lbs.  She looks to be a little more average in size and is very beautiful. Both Maxine and Maximo have that average puppy energy and have been very will socialized. They get along with other dogs, cats, men, women and children. They are learning to walk on a leash and seem to very smart young puppies. Both will do great in obedience and will make any family proud.

 

Both pups are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on all vaccinations and have begun heartworm preventative. If you are interested in adopting Maxine or Maximo, please fill out the online application and request one of them in the notes section.

 

2sisters3sistersThree Little Sisters – Millie, Tillie and Lillie  These 3 little girls were rescued from a shelter where they surly would have died.  They were thin and sickly when we got them, but you would never know it now.  They are healthy, plump, happy and full of puppy mischief.  If you like puppy kisses, there are plenty to go around.  These girls are such a joy to watch.   One will pick up a toy and run, and the other two running as fast as they can to get the toy for themselves.  Once they catch up, they all forget the toy and just tumble and wrestle and have fun.  They are really loving life now.  Millie is slightly bigger, Lillie is just a bit smaller and Tillie, well she is just in between.  Since they have grown and now are about 3 months of age they each have their own big girl crate and are being crate trained.  They will have has their puppy vaccinations before going to their new forever home.

Licorcie_4Licorcie_1Licorice is in training for the next football season as he is quite good with the Orbee football his foster mother bought for him. He loves to carry the football around and keep it from all of his much larger foster brother's and sister's and he would make an excellent quarterback. Furthermore, he is a great team player and gets along with all of his team mates and shows good sportsmanship with his winning attitude. Licorice has received the player of the year award (a big huge milk bone) for being at the top of his game and for being a great puppy.

 

Licorice is 6 months old and is ready for his new home. Aside from his career in sports, he is also potty trained and crate trained. He has normal puppy energy and will make a great student in obedience classes. He is also very lovable and loves the positive praise and affection his foster mom and dad give him. This boy is a true champion and if you are interested in having this football superstar part of your family, please fill out an application and request him on the notes section. He is neutered, up to date on all vaccinations and is heartworm negative.

   

Drake_1webDrake_2Wow look at this boy, Drake. He is a very handsome 4 yr old chocolate male. He is on the big side weighing about 75 lbs. He is mild mannered and shows good house manners.  Drake came to Lucky Lab Rescue as a surrender from a vet clinic, who got him as an owner surrender. Supposedly he had a one time bite incident that is very very unclear and the previous owners validity is very questionable. His owners brought him in to be euthanized, but the clinic refused to euthanize him due to the owners story. Something just was not adding up. The clinic  kept him for about 1 month and temperament tested him. The staff has stated that they have not seen any aggression in him with other dogs, children or men and women. He is a great dog.

 

Lucky Labs has also temperament tested him and no signs of food aggression, loves people and praise, and has gotten along with all foster brothers and sisters (human and canine). However, due to his previous owners story, we can not place him with children even though he has grown up with small children and he need to find a home that will take him regardless of what his previous owners have said (they have 2 new golden retriever puppies now). Drake is neutered, up to date on  vaccinations, heartworm negative. He is crate trained and house trained. If you would like to take a chance on him, please fill out an application and request him on the notes section.

 

MaggieMaggie1Maggie is a beautiful, happy, fun loving girl.  She loves to romp and play with her foster brother and sister and just about anyone who wants to romp and play with her.  She gets along great with everyone and would love to have a forever family to play ball with and to take walks with and to just hang out with.  If you like to run, she would be a great running companion.   She settles down nicely when she comes in the house.  Her foster dad says she has that magical quality about her and you just can’t help falling in love with her. 

 

She has great manners, is housebroken, crate trained, up-to-date on her shots and spayed.  Maggie has been well socialized with other dogs, cats, adults and children.  Maggie would need a 6 foot or invisible fence.  She would be a great candidate for obedience classes. What more could you ask for.   If you are interested in Maggie, please indicate that on your application.

 

Sheeba1My name is Sheeba and one rainy day, I got rescued from going somewhere I didn't deserve!  So now I live with a foster mom and dad, 2 cats, Mo; the yellow lab and Lucky; the pug.  We get along great but I can be a little on the dominant side.  I'm about 2 years old but can still be very playful.

 

I am working on learning to sit and stay and my foster mom says I am doing a great job.  I am crate trained and also housebroken.  I weigh about 50 lbs but need to gain a little more!  I really love to run and play with my kong toys and tennis balls.  I also love water!  My foster mom says I'm silly because I learned to fetch before I learned to sit and stay!  I think I need to enroll in some obedience training because I would be really good at agility or frisbee! I just really want a forever home where someone can devote some love and tenderness to me!

 

I am up dated on all of my vaccinations.  I am also spayed and heartworm negative.  If you are interested in adopting me, fill out an application and request me on the notes section.

 

Baxter2BaxterBaxter Every once in a while an exceptionally outstanding non-lab guy comes along.  That would be Baxter.  He approached his foster mom when she was out walking her dogs and looked up at her with those big beautiful, but sad eyes and said, “Please help me”.  He was terribly thin and in need of a good meal, so that is exactly what happened.  He was fed a good meal and given a warm dry crate to sleep in.  Since then, he has been a perfect gentleman.  Baxter gets along wonderfully with his foster brothers and sisters and even the family kitties.   Baxter yearns to be with people.  He is a sweet and gentle fellow. When it is time to do scoop patrol he follows along just for the companionship.  He walks well on the leash, no pulling, just wants to be close. 

 

Baxter is about 1½ years old, 55 lbs, neutered, heartworm negative, up-to-date on vaccinations and crate trained.  He would be a great candidate for obedience classes and make an ideal family member.  He has been socialized with other dogs, cats, adults and older children.  If interested in Baxter, please indicate that on your application.

 

Rufus1Rufus5We are helping Rufus find a home where he can play ball, snuggle with his new human parents and be very active.  Rufus is an owner surrender.  He is currently living with a cat and another dog and might we say, he does wonderfully with all of them.  Rufus is a very cute 4 year, 75 lb black lab male who is crate trained, housebroken and walks well on a leash.  He loves to spend time outside romping in the yard and would like another dog or a couple of kids to play with.  After burning off some of his energy, Rufus likes to crash on the floor for his nap.  Rufus would make a great family pet because he loves kids but would also make anyone who likes to walk/run/rollerblade a great companion.  Rufus is up-to-date on his vaccinations, neutered. and heartworm negative.  If you are interested in adopting Rufus, please fill out our online application and request him in the notes section.

 

Maynard_3Maynard_2Maynard is a fabulous black lab mix with a very sweet and cute personality.   He is on the small side, weighing about 50 lbs and is approximately 3 years old.   What a charmer this boy is.   He really knows how to work it to get extra treats from his foster mom.   Maynard would be a fabulous dog for agility training and will put on a show for all to be entertained.   His foster mom calls him   her dancing boy.  

He likes to get up on his hind legs and twirl around.   Sometimes, it almost appears that he is doing sideway flips.   What a great family dog he will make and would be an excellent student in obedience classes.   He may even teach the trainer a few things.   Maynard is neutered, up to date on vaccinations and heartworm negative.   If you are interested in Maynard, please fill out an application and request him on the notes section. 

 

BritBrittany would run free and the darn doggie police would pick her up.   The  owner got tired of paying the fines and instead of putting up a fence or trying to contain them in their yard, he turned her over to a shelter.   It is a good thing because now she is safe from all the harm that could   befall them from being allowed to roam.   Brittany is very cute, very sweet and very funny.  She is about 1 year old and on the small side weighing about 35 lbs.   She gets along well with other dogs and plays very good with her foster brothers and sisters.   She is also crate trained, up-to-date on her vaccinations, spayed and heartworm negative.   Brittany would benefit from obedience classes and would make a great family member.   If you are interested in adopting her, please fill out an application and request Brittany in the notes section.   

   Chocolate

Chocolate   What do you say about a black lab named Chocolate?   At first, we had no idea why on earth someone would name a black dog Chocolate.   Then one day, her foster mother was out playing with her and the sun caught Chocolate's eyes.   Needless to say, her foster mother melted and all became clear.   She was named Chocolate because of her beautiful creamy brown eyes.   Chocolate came to us as an owner surrender due to inhumane treatment.   She was caged a lot with little time to play, socialize, and get lots of labby exercise and attention.   Chocolate's previous owner contacted Lucky Lab Rescue and explained that she was having a child and could not deal with Chocolate any longer.   Usually we do not take owner surrenders for such silly reasons, that was until it was discovered that she pretty much lived her life in a cage. Chocolate has a wonderful disposition and is a sweet, sweet lab.   Her foster mother thinks she is one of the greatest little girls that Lucky Lab Rescue has.   She is a small, 1 1/2 year old lab weighing about 45 lbs,  spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, heartworm negative and ready to make her new family happy.  If you would like to adopt Chocolate, please fill out an application and request on the notes section.
