ADOPT
Below is a list of Labs that will be available for adoption soon. Since we don't have a shelter, our Labs are housed in foster homes. Labs new to our program are kept in a coming soon status for a minimum of 12 days while our foster families get to know them and to get them ready to be adopted. Coming Soon Labs are not available to meet or to go to public events. When they are cleared to be adopted they will appear on our Available Labs page.
Click each picture to find what our foster families have to say about each of our dogs - this information is preliminary and may change once the Lab is available to be adopted.
The adoption fee for an adult Lab is $300 + State Tax. The adoption fee for puppies (6 months and under) is $375 + State Tax.
If you are interested in any of our coming soon Labs, we urge you to complete an adoption application. Adoption information and application is found here. If you have questions about the adoption application process, send an email to our Applications Team.

Initial intake information: Yellow Male - 55 lbs - Heartworm positive -
Hi, my name is Henrie and I’m currently chilling out at my foster mom’s home and boy does she love to take photos of me! She took me to Lake Texoma and boy did I have a GREAT time! I enjoyed chasing waves and the birds, but most of all I loved the car and boat ride. I've also learned to swim.
I’m am said to be about 3 years old but I act much younger. You’ll find that I’m a morning dog because I sleep well in my crate and charge up my batteries! I bolt out of the crate every morning and like to get my exercise in. I admit, I really hate going in the crate, but once I’m there, I settle down.
I enjoy long walks in the neighborhood, running like lightning, and snuggling with my foster mom. I'm still learning not to pull, foster mom is a bit slow, but I'm non-reactive on the leash which is awesome! I love being petted and told what a good boy I am. I even like to give kisses.
There are 3 other Labs here and I’m a bit too active for them. I’m still learning my manners and finding out that they don’t like to be poked all the time. I would like other dogs to play with but should be monitored closely while I am still learning the rules.
Vinny - 8.5 Year Old Male
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Yellow Male - 83 lbs - Heartworm positive - TBD
Vinny is currently getting settled in with us, please check back soon for updates. Once Vinny is treated and recovered from his heartworm treatments he will need TPLO surgery. At this time we have no estimated available date
Sophee - 5.5 Year Old Female
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Yellow (Fox Red) - 78 lbs - Heartworm negative - Est available TBD
Sophee is currently getting settled in with us, please check back soon for updates
Keene - 1.3 Year Old Male
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Yellow Male 46 lbs (now 64 lbs) - Heartworm negative
Hi there! My name is Keene and I'm a happy, healthy, hyper pup!
I adapted very quickly to living with a toddler and showed my fosters I can be a good boy around anyone and anything (no weird house barking and no biting here!). I have a lot of energy so I enjoy frequent walks but am not very good at this leash thing yet and will require a strong harness and someone experienced with helping me to contine my training. I also enjoy running laps in my backyard. I'm still a little nervous about swimming but will put my feet in the water.
Sit and stay are no problem and we're still working on all the other commands - but clearly I'm very smart. I'm also crate trained and am getting better at responding to my name. I am getting used to being in the car and my energy comes out there so I need to be crated while in the car.
I love giving kisses and I'm so full of love - so if you want some young loving, put me on your list!
Miia - 4.3 Year Old Female
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Black Female - 62 lbs - Heartworm positive - Est available TBD
Miia is currently getting settled in with us, please check back soon for updates
Sahara - 4.3 Year Old Female
COMING SOON
Initial Intake Info: Yellow - female - 55 lbs. Avail date TBD
9/11/20 Sahara was moved back to comming soon due to a health issue that needed to be addressed
Sahara is a beautiful, cuddly, affectionate and active girl. She gets along easily with other dogs and loves to play fetch. Sharing a tennis ball with one of my dogs is no big deal for her. One of Sahara’s favorite things is hanging out right beside you. A spot on your couch or your home working place should be free for her. Sahara is very food motivated and will check out your counter and cooking skills. Always good to have someone tasting your cooked goodies before serving - right? Wrong. In this case I would recommend teaching Sahara more table manners. She likes to go on walks and needs some additional leash training.
Sahara is perfectly crate and potty trained but would do best in a family where someone is home a lot. She loves people big and small, and wouldn’t enjoy being alone too much. Even though Sahara is sweet with everyone, she would probably accidentally knock over little humans due to her excitement so tiny humans might not be best. Her behavior towards cats is unknown. This sweet dream girl will make one family really happy.
Gorgeous George - 2.2 Year Old Male
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Chocolate Male - 65 lbs - Heartworm Positive - Est available Late Sept
Gorgeous George is, well, gorgeous! We all know it’s the inside that counts, though, but good news: George is a top contender not only for Most Handsome, but also Bestest Boy. He is happy go lucky, loyal, an appreciative eater, and chill as ... well, whatever the kids are saying these days!
Sometimes he will chase a ball, often he will play with a toy, and usually he will comply with “Sit.” Other times, he won’t! However, even when he declines to participate, he is entirely pleasant and polite about it.
Gorgeous George is fully house-trained, but prefers not to potty unless a tree or bush is available. If a bush is available, he believes it is the best place to go “big potty.” George values privacy - he is a gentleman like that. He loves daily walks, petting, and kisses on the head. He likes to be told he is handsome, which is no problem since people tend to shout it out at him as he trots and/or saunters - tail sociably wagging - around the neighborhood.
If you don’t want George to get on the furniture, that’s fine - he will only get on it after you leave the house.
George does not agree with being crated, but he sleeps silently on his dog bed the entire night. He is very quiet and is trusted fully in his foster home. Disclaimer: he is untested with kids and cats. His only inadmirable feature (besides dining on dead squirrels) is that he believes the winner in a game of tug should always be Gorgeous George. No mercy.
In short, Gorgeous George is a most wonderful boy and deserves a most wonderful life! He is undergoing treatment for heartworms and may have some allergies, but will be in good shape in no time and ready for a forever home.
Jolene - 11.1 Month Old Female
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Yellow Female 34lbs - Heartworm negative - Est available mid to late August
Jolene is currently getting settled in with us, please check back soon for updates
Acacia - 5.2 Year Old Female
COMING SOON
Initial Intake Info: Yellow - Female - 53 lbs. Heartworm Positive. Est. Avail Date TBD
Hello Everybody! My rescue name is Acacia (we are pronouncing it A-cass-e-a) and, although it may not be my forever name, I respond very well & always come when called! My beginnings were a bit rough but I am resilient! I love to play with toys, other dogs and I love to chew on a horn, antler or hoof. I am prey driven, so cats and squirrels beware! I am a dog that responds very well to praise. I'm a sensitive gal and will just shut down to any heavy handed corrections - I simply don't know know how to react. I love living in a house for the first time and going for walks.
Acacia is very sweet, resilient and makes great progress daily. We are going to start working on basic obedience which will elevate her self-esteem further. She has play therapy with another big dog daily and is doing very well.
*This dog may not meet the breed standard for a Labrador Retriever.
Jeau - 1.9 Year Old Male
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Black Male - 70 lbs - Heartworm Negative - Est available Late Sept
My name is Jeau and I'm getting settled into my foster home. They say I had a rough start in life at a breeder for the first year of my life and then I was with someone who kept me out in the yard all the time. I didn't know how good it was to sleep in air conditioning at night! I'm not used to foster mom and dad quite yet but I'm starting to trust them and like the mom best so far. I'm not so sure of that guy that tries to pet me, but I'm liking him more and more every day. They tell me that I need more socialization skills around people, but I sure do like to run around in the yard with my foster brothers.
From Jeau's foster mom: Jeau is a sweet guy, very timid, and just needs lots of love and patience. He walks well on a leash, but can get startled by sudden noises. He is crate and house trained, and likes to play with his foster brothers. He's looking for someone that can love him and help him gain confidence through day to day interaction with people. He has come a long way since we brought him home, but it will take a lot of loving to bring this sweet guy to be the doggy he was meant to be. If you have time to be patient and loving, he will become a great companion and angel for you.
Geoff - 2.1 Year Old Male
COMING SOON
Initial Intake Info: Yellow - Male - 98 lbs. Heartworm positive. Est. Available Date end of October
Geoff is a handsome and gentle boy who, while a big guy, is probably a little underweight. He has been neutered, is on antibiotics and spends a lot of his time resting. He is also heartworm positive, so once he recovers from his surgery he will get treated for the heartworks and then complete the mandatory rest period while they die off.
We don't know too much about Geoff. He was surrendered from a home where he and his brother were outside all the time. Geoff was kept on a chain and there is some damage and scarring as a result; to his back legs, head and neck particularly. We think that once his new hair grows in most of these marks will disappear or be hidden by his new, softer coat. He walks on a leash with no pulling, but is clearly not used to it. He will cross sharply in front of you to go after an interesting smell, so it requires some smart hand and footwork to walk him safely at the moment. Once he becomes more confident of his surroundings we will start training him to walk consistently to heel on one side. He seems to know none of the basic commands and we will be working on that as well. At the moment he is quite interested in squirrels but not cats. This may change (he is fostering with an adult cat and a 7 year old AmStaff girl).
Right now he is pretty quiet and quite timid, which may be due to the stress of new surroundings and routines, but we are seeing small improvements day by day. We are hoping he will blossom as he becomes more confident and sure of himself. He is a bit picky about his food and at the moment is very un-Labrador like in his food intake as he toys with it then comes back later for a little more. He likes having his head and ears rubbed and stroked. He spent the first few nights in his crate without any issues but now has the run of the cordoned off kitchen, where he is getting used to sleeping on something other than the hard floor.
When he is feeling good, he plays with his stuffed teddy bear and will chew on a Nylabone or tennis ball, but mostly right now he lies on his bed and watches the activity going on around him in the house.

Norman is getting more comfortable and confident everyday. If allowed on the furniture he will curl up next to you for lots of head and neck rubs.

Norman’s house manners are improving daily but it is a work in progress. He will need a consistent schedule and training to ensure no accidents happen in the house. He is essentially a big puppy that needs love and attention and will reward you with kisses and cuddles.

COMING SOON
Initial Intake Info: Black - Male - 63 lbs. Heartworm Negative. Est. Available Date end of Sept/Early Oct.
Rufus is a sweet and easy-going boy. He came into the program as a stray and, from the looks of it, he has been on his own for some time. He loves people, young and old. He walks pretty well on a leash and gets along nicely with his foster Lab siblings. He doesn’t seem to have much of a prey drive and will hopefully learn how to play with toys. He is quiet and likes to be wherever his Foster Mom is.
With lots of TLC, Rufus is going to be an incredible addition to any family!
Hitch - 2 Month Old Male
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Yellow Male Puppy - Est available Early Oct
Hi my name is Hitch and I may have had a really ruff start but I hit the jackpot when DFW Lab Rescue found me!!!! I have been having the best time learning to be a puppy at my foster home. My foster mom says I'm the sweetest little love bug around, I love to play and run in the backyard, eat, sleep and I especially love snuggly belly rubs. Also she has taught me to come, sit and almost shake, I even pee and poop outside.......if you don't know that's pretty cool at my age. Foster mom just says I'm smarter than most puppies.
I am good with my foster family's Golden and 13 yr old daughter. I would also be a great only dog too. I am best with older kids who know how to behave around puppies, and fine being your first baby too. I would thrive in either situation. I love that my foster family is quite active and would love to have that in my furever home as well.
If you've been looking for a pup I just may be the best boy you've ever met. I am a loving sweet pea, instantly yours and will make a great life long companion.

Abbeylin - 11.5 Month Old Female
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Black Female 61lbs - Heartworm pending - Est available early October
This beautiful girl came from a great home with a family that loved her and took great care of her. They gave her an excellent start to being a family pet. As we know current times are quite difficult. With a broken heart her family made a difficult decision to rehome her knowing that DFW Lab Rescue would find her an excellent forever family home.
Abbeylin has a wonderful disposition and is appropriately playful for her age. She loves to swim and go for walks. She still needs to learn some impulse control (for example, not running through the door until given permission, not jumping on people when excited, waiting for her food or treats, etc.). For this reason a home without toddlers would be best. Abbeylin is cat friendly and does not possess a mean bone in her body. While she sleeps in her crate, she will destroy bedding if left in with her. This girl is housebroken using bells or a dog door. With structure and training this girl will be an amazing family member.

I’m getting used to my crate but my foster mom says after only 24 hours I’m becoming a pro! I really really like chewing bones, I think she will need some more Nylabones for me!

Maisie - 2.3 Month Old Female
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Black Female Puppy - Est available Mid Oct
Hello. My name is Maisie and my siblings and I were found along the side of the road - but since then things have gotten decidedly better. I’m very smart and I learn things really quickly. On my first day at my foster home I figured out how to go through the screen door to go outside. My foster parents made a big deal about it but really, it was just one of those Velcro closing screens. A Poodle could probably do it. On day three I figured out how to use the dog door by watching my foster sister. I should have that mastered sooner. I’m doing really well with crate and house training. My fosters keep trying to work with me on manners like sit and shake but my foster sister keeps getting in the way. Maybe they should work on her manners.
I am a happy and playful puppy that gets along well with my foster’s dog even if she does ruin my manners training. I love being outside with my foster sister or even by myself. When my fosters are working in their garden - I like to find a cool, shady place to chew on a stick. Outside naps are my favorite.
My fosters like to talk a lot about how pretty I am. Foster mom loves my black fur, eyes and nose and says I could be a model. Whatever that is. Foster dad says I’m a Midnight Edition Lab. He’s a car guy.
I am really enjoying my time with my foster family but I can’t wait to find my furever home. Everybody needs a little Maisie in their life!
Zak - 7 Year Old Male
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Black Male 95 lbs - Heartworm negative - Est available Early Oct
Hello! My name is Zak. I am a big, affectionate, playful dog that is ready to meet my new family. My owner passed away in July, and his family has taken care of me since then, but they knew I needed more attention so they brought me to DFW Lab Rescue. My hobbies include being petted, going for frequent short walks, playing with other dogs, and swimming. I take treats gently and I love to cuddle on the couch. I don't really like being outside that much, because I tend to get hot and I want to be where the people are! I don't really like when my humans leave the house, but I can be left out and I never get into trouble while they're away. I don't jump up or bark very much.
I would love to find a family that will cherish me and give me all the love, pets, and attention I deserve, especially after the crazy life changes I've had recently. One look into my gentle brown eyes and you will fall in love with me!
