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.

Black Jack

Male

58 pounds

+ Black Jack's Biography

Meet Blackjack. If you are looking for a sure bet, an ace in the hole, and an overall big win in your life, then Blackjack is your guy! This shiny black and gorgeous 58-pound guy is so ready for his forever home! While he hit the jackpot when he ended up as a Lu’s lab, in his life up to now he has certainly not been dealt a fair hand. While we don’t know a lot about how this Louisiana sweetheart has spent his 1 year of life thus far, we can guess it hasn't been easy. He was found as a stray, underweight, and ended up in a high kill shelter. Luckily, our volunteers rescued him, and now he has a second chance to double down and get the life he deserves.

Blackjack is a friendly, outgoing, and fun young dog who is waiting for the right person to love and to help him learn what it means to be part of a family. Blackjack retains a lot of puppy behaviors so he will need training but he is a fast learner, food motivated, and wants to please! He is newly housetrained, knows sit, is learning to come when called, to not jump when excited and to walk nicely on a leash without pulling. Jack (as we call him) is still not convinced about the metal box and will bark in protest. Due to still needing work on the crate, he is not approved for an apartment or shared walls.

Jack is very sweet-natured, and he is friendly to everyone. Jack plays very well with other dogs and respects when they tell him they don't want to play. Blackjack has proven himself to be a good car passenger and loves swimming.

Jack is such a cuddly sweetheart but like any young dog he needs training, structure, and a family that will meet his activity needs. He loves everyone and is approved for kids... age of kids will be determined by how dog savvy the parents and children are! His foster mother says he loves attention from his people and soaks up mental and physical stimulation from them. Blackjack has so much potential, and he is finally in a place where the cards are going his way.

He is not approved for a home with cats since his exposure to them is unknown.

Won’t you take a chance on this sweet boy? If you do, and you play your cards right, it will be “winner, winner, chicken dinner” for everyone…and Blackjack really likes the “chicken dinner” part of that phrase! ❤️🐾🐾❤️

Please know 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.❤️🐾🐾❤️


Dean

*On Medical Hold*

Male
2-3 years old
50 pounds

+ Dean's Biography

Roll out the red carpet for Dean! Delightful. Dazzling. Dynamic. Dean is all that and so much more! This stunning golden boy has star power and a playful bestie vibe. Dean is two to three years old and weighs about 50 pounds. All about his people and having fun, Dean’s positive energy will have you smitten as soon as you meet him!

Dean is a social boy and loves to meet anyone and everyone. I mean you can’t have too many friends. He’s outgoing and loves people and dogs. Dean has typical young lab energy and finds playing with other dogs is great fun. The dog park would be a dream — he can make new friends and run around. Dean also loves to play fetch and wrestle with dogs he is familiar with. With his social graces, he might enjoy doggie daycare too! Dean is also a velcro lab — he shadows his person everywhere they go and is interested in everything they do. He is also a champion cuddler who loves to snuggle and lounge with his person. He is not approved for kitties because he hasn’t met one yet. He sleeps in a crate, dog bed or even with his person. He really just loves being with his people.

We don’t know much about Dean’s background, but we do know that he’s a smart cookie! He is house trained and will ring a bell to go out. He is also crate trained. Plus he knows sit, down, up (to go upstairs), out (leave the room) and sometimes stay. He enjoys your attention and would benefit from a refresher on basic commands, as well as keeping four on the floor. Dean loves an adventure and going for walks but needs some work on his leash etiquette — he is just so excited to explore! With you as his guide, he’ll be an expert in no time.

Dean’s FM tells us that Dean is “the sweetest/most curious dog” she’s ever met. His athleticism makes her believe that Dean might be very successful at agility training, dock diving or high jump. She also says he has a unique bark that sounds almost like a duck quacking! Dean is a beautiful and sweet boy with loads of love to give. He would be a great doggie sibling to another active dog or as an “only” dog. Dean loves life and loves big. He would thrive with an active and fun family to take him on tons of adventures — maybe swimming, maybe hiking. This silly, playful boy wants to explore the world with his people. His infectious positive spirit will make every day brighter. Find out if golden Dean is the one to light up your life.
