LABS FOR ADOPTION
Last Updated Wednesday, 07-May-2008 20:40:16 CDT
The following are some of the Labs available for adoption. Please
note that these may not be the only dogs that are currently available,
and we are always taking new Labs into rescue. All dogs are spayed or
neutered and heartworm negative unless otherwise stated.
We specialize in "Match Making". We know our dogs very well through speaking with
the previous owner or shelter, and through evaluating the
dogs further while they are in foster care. We then get to know our adoption applicants
through a detailed application and a home visit. We don't
accept applications for a specific dog. Instead, we match applicants
with the appropriate dog based on our knowledge and experience.
We currently adopt dogs to people who live in the Chicagoland area only (we do not adopt out of state). Before someone can
meet one of the available Labs, they must first go through our adoption
approval process. Please see the Adoption Information page for more
information.
For additional Labs or Lab mixes needing homes, please see our Lab Referral page.

Brandy
Hello, my name is Brandy. I'm an adorable 1 year old female black Lab. I'm well behaved considering my young age. I'm housebroken (I've only had one accident in the house, which makes my foster mom very happy), and I get along well with the other two dogs in my foster home. I still have a lot of puppy in me - I'm playful and curious and I love playing with toys. I'm not thrilled about being in a crate, so I bark a lot when I'm in there. For the last couple of days my foster mom left me in the kitchen (uncrated) when she went to work, and I haven't gotten into any major trouble. I know a few commands, like sit and shake, and I would love to go to obedience school to learn even more and show off how smart I am. My only bad habit is that I like to jump. You can't leave any food on the counter when I'm around! Also, I could jump a 4 foot fence, so my new family should have at least a 5 foot fence, or take me out on a leash. I don't have a mean bone in my body and I am a very happy girl. All I need to make my life complete is a forever family of my own.
Rex
I'm Rex aka Mr. Wonderful. I walked into my foster home and made friends with my foster Lab sister and the cat. I'm between 2-3 years old and completely housebroken. I play with toys, but don't destroy them. I'm learning to walk on a lead, and my walker tells my foster parents that I am friendly with everyone I meet. When I need to rest, I go into my crate. My foster family let me have the run of the house, after only 2 days! I can be a little shy around loud voices, and am also uncomfortable in a car, but my family thinks as my confidence grows, I'll be over that. What I like the most is to be petted and be with people. Don't let my smaller size bother you. I have a heart full of love and trust 100 times my size.
Trooper
Hello, I'm Trooper. I am a male, about 4 1/2 years old. I love to play and even have my own toys to bring to my new house. As you can see I'm a beautiful chocolate Lab. I'm housebroken, crate trained (although I really don't need it!) and just an all around good dog. My foster parents enjoy seeing me run around the yard with their dog. I even like cats!! I usually just ignore the one that lives with us. Being outside and taking walks are my favorite activities to do. Come on over for a visit and we'll play a game of fetch. I promise to bring the ball back, I may not give it to you but I'll bring it back! I really want my own forever home.
Yeller
Hi, my name is Yeller, and I am a 6-12 month yellow Lab. I am very sweet and loving. My foster mom calls me her yellow fur ball, because I have the beautiful fluffy puppy fur. My foster mom says I am a very good puppy. I know how to sit on command, I am almost completely house trained and I get along well with children and other dogs. For fun I like to run and prance in the backyard with my foster Lab sister. My foster dad says I need a bit of leash training but that should not be a problem because they will be cover that right away in dog class. Please come and visit me, I am total puppy and I am very cute.
Louise
Hi, I'm Louise and I'm a very energetic 6 month old puppy. I love chewing on things, even if I can't find my own toys. My foster mom says I'm a really sweet girl but I just need a little basic training. I'm learning to go for walks outside on the leash but sometimes I get ready to run after those darn squirrels and I just can't get away! Since I was raised on a farm and spent most my time outside, it's nice to hang out with the family indoors. I have my own doggie bed in my foster mom's room, but when she's not looking I sneak up and cuddle with her and my foster brother in the bed. I get along great with other dogs but sometimes am a bit submissive because I'm a lover not a fighter. If you think I'm the perfect dog for you contact MLRR and take me home!
Crystal
I'm Crystal a 6 month old puppy who is full of energy. I am a sweet girl who loves to be around people. I am working on housetraining and while it's going well, my foster mom has to watch carefully for my signs that I need to go out. I love to play and have lots of puppy energy. I like the two children who live here, but I am not always careful when there is food around. I sometimes forget my manners and try to grab it. I am also learning what things I can chew on and what is off limits so it is important to keep close eye on me. I sleep in my crate at night and when my foster family leaves. So if you're looking for a sweet girl with lots of energy I might just be the dog for you.
Shaun
Hi, my name is Shaun. I am a 1 – 2 year old, black tall drink of water! I am extremely friendly with a ton of energy. If you want a “puppy-like” personality, but don’t want to deal with housebreaking, I’m the dog for you. I need to be in a crate when nobody is around, otherwise I’ll get into trouble, but I’m very good in my crate – I don’t bark. When I have someone to be with me, I do very well. All I need is a toy to carry in my mouth and I am happy. I get along with both of my foster brothers – a nine yr. old Lab and five yr. old Lab. I also do fine with the family cat! I’m kind-of big, but I am extremely gentle and full of love.
Missy
Missy is an extremely sweet, slightly shy, and very well behaved girl. She’s 8 ½ years old. She has the run of the house and gets along well with the other 2 dogs she lives with. She has also spent time with cats and gets along fine with them. Missy is fully housebroken, and knows come, sit, down, shake, speak and loves to retrieve balls Like many dogs her age, Missy has some minor health problems that are well controlled on medication. She’s exceptionally sweet and her love and devotion are well worth the extra bit of care she needs. Missy would love a quiet home where she can hang out, play a little and get a lot of love and attention. If you’re looking for a really great dog and are able to provide a little extra care, Missy would love to meet you.
Jack ADOPTED!
Hi! My name is Jack and I'm 4 months of pure puppy!
I LOVE to run around and play with my foster brothers
and sister, and to chew on toys. My foster mom says
I'm very well behaved for my age. I haven't had an
accident since I've been here, and I don't mind being
in my crate. I do some typical puppy things like chew
on things that aren't my toys, but how am I supposed
to know any better? I'm learning more each day and my
mom says I'm a fast learner. If you're looking for a
handsome Lab who loves to play, I'm your guy!
Guiness ADOPTED!
Hi, my name is Guinness and I am one year old male. I am very loveable and calm. If I could, I would spend all of my time around people or playing in the yard with my foster sister. I am really interested in this toy they call a tennis ball, and will do acrobatic tricks to catch one! You should see me, I am quite flexible! I am working on crate training and being by myself during the day in my crate. I get very excited when someone comes home, and I am working on greeting them in a more calm way when I come out of my crate. I am housebroken and get along great with children. I walk well on a leash and with only a few corrections, I am walking like a pro! I hope you can come and meet me. I am very loyal and will be your best friend forever!
Thelma ADOPTED!
Hi...my name is Thelma and I am a 6 month old yellow female. My foster mom says that I am actually pretty calm for still being a puppy. I am your typical Lab pup very loving and friendly, I love to play with my foster sister or any toys that are laying around. I am not a big chewer, I do like to pick things up like socks or shoes and put them in other rooms just to see if anyone notices, but that's about it. I am working on sit, which I am pretty good at and I walk good on a leash. My foster mom says I listen and I am eager to please. I sleep on the floor in the bedroom at night and I am crated during the day, I am adjusting to this crate training technique and I am getting better everyday, you see I was a farm dog and pretty much spent my days and nights outside. When I arrived at my foster home I was very leary about going inside I pretty much was afraid of my own shadow, but as you can see by my picture I have adjusted quite well to this city living. I still enjoy being outside, but I really just prefer to be where the rest of the family is. I get along very well with the my foster sister and the neighborhood dogs. If your interested in coming out to see me please contact MLRR today.
Daisy ADOPTED!
My name is Daisy; I am a 4-5 year old yellow Lab. I am thin but have a big appetite. I am shy at first, but after I get used to my surroundings, I am affectionate, cuddly and full of energy. I am crazy about tennis balls I will fetch a tennis ball all day if someone would throw it for me that long. I love going for walks but I am not very good on a leash. I can be around children of all ages, but if I see a tennis ball I get so excited I could knock over a small child by accident. I enjoy playing with my foster family’s dog; we run around the yard during the day and chase each other through the house. I sleep in the kitchen on a dog bed, I have not been in a crate, and I don’t even know what a crate is. I am housebroken but I some times have accidents. I am a happy energetic Labrador looking for a family that will love me and take me on long walks.
