Available Labs
Please Note…
All of our available labs are recently rescued and are in the process of transitioning into a new foster home environment. Training, personality, and energy levels are continuously evolving as the dog acclimates. What you read below is only a snapshot of a complex animal undergoing significant change, written from the perspective of the lab’s intake foster family. Your lab will take weeks - or even months - to fully settle into his or her “true self” after becoming a part of your family.
Our labs often come to us with incomplete or no medical history. This means that ages listed may be an estimate provided by a shelter or a veterinarian, and may vary from assessment to assessment. Once in Lu’s Labs care, we provide needed vetting, neuter/spay surgery, heartworm testing/treatment, administration of preventative medications, and microchipping. All dogs are neutered/spayed prior to adoption if they are of minimum age (6mo Females, 9mo Males). Every dog adopted out after August 2020 is equipped with an AKC brand microchip with lifetime registration fees paid by the rescue. Weights listed are the dog’s weight upon intake and are updated if changes in +/- 10lbs occur. Dogs that are estimated to be overweight or underweight by +/- 10lbs are annotated.
**In order to help our first time adopters understand the time and effort needed to have a dog, we require all first time adopters (including those that grew up with dogs but have not had one since living on their own) to foster at least one dog in the age range and energy level requested prior to adopting a dog.
Lu’s Labs charges a $25 non-refundable application fee to offset medical, transportation, and operational costs.

+ Scooter's Biography
Meet Scooter, a sweet and affectionate pup who can’t wait to have a family of his own. This gorgeous chocolate guy with a snow white belly is five years old and weighs 72 pounds. Scooter is a low energy dog who enjoys the best of both worlds—snuggles and a little "me time." He loves being close to his people but also appreciates moments of quiet and independence and will relax in his crate or one of his “chill out” spots in the house.
Scooter gets along with everyone. He is very friendly and gets along with all dogs although he doesn’t directly play with them. He ignored the cat in his southern Foster's home, so cats are A-okay in his forever home. His FM tells us that he loves to carry things in his mouth when he’s happy and excited. Imagine coming home to wiggly-butt Scooter, joyfully trotting over with his favorite stuffie in his mouth, greeting you like you're the center of his world. His tail never stops wagging, and his excitement is contagious. What could be better? Scooter also loves a special game his foster mom made up just for him! She tosses treats into the yard, and Scooter uses his super-sniffing skills to track them down. It’s one of his favorite activities, and it keeps him happily entertained while giving his nose a workout.
Scooter is a smart boy. Of course he’s housetrained. Hei also knows how to sit. He loves going for walks and is learning leash etiquette. He is positively joyous to explore all that is outdoors but a gentle, “Scooter, look!” command has him back on track. Scooter is eager to please so working on basic commands will be a snap as he thrives with your attention. He is crate trained and stays in his crate when his people are out. At night, he may choose to sleep in his crate or in bed with his foster parents.
Scooter’s love is pure, and he’s always ready to show just how much you mean to him. Could Scooter be the loyal companion you’ve been waiting for?
Disclaimer: Please know that this is a recently rescued dog that is still transitioning into a new home environment. Training, and even personality and energy levels are constantly evolving as the dog starts to feel better emotionally and physically. Your new dog will take days or even weeks to fully settle into his or her true self. What you read in this bio is a snapshot of this dog’s evolving personality. Additionally, the age listed is an estimate provided by the shelter and/or veterinarian. Different vets can provide different age estimates. So always consider the lab you are adopting to be within an age range of a couple of years of what is listed. Also remember, while we are a lab rescue, we do not have papers on these dogs, we cannot confirm any breed-specific claims, and many of these dogs may be mixed with other breeds.
