Dallas / Fort Worth Labrador Retriever Rescue Club

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: Chocolate Female 65 lbs -

Hello, I’m Zella, and I’m looking for my forever family. I am a spry senior gal with a sweet personality. My absolute favorite thing is to hang out with my foster mom. I oversee her housework and keep her company while she works in the computer room. Once work is over, I’m ready to go! I love a rousing game of fetch, going for walks, and even running errands in the car. But my favorite thing is the head massage my foster mom gives me every time I sit by. Snuggling up to her on the sofa after dinner while I drift off to sleep is pretty great, too.

From my foster mom: Zella has been great in the house. She is leash trained, crate trained, house broken and goes into the crate willingly when I leave the house. Zella does not need to be crated at night. Rather, she sleeps on a dog bed in my room. She is a snuggly love bug who gets excited at the thought of a walk, but is otherwise pretty chill. Zella has easily adapted to my schedule, sleeps while I work, and is content to sit by me getting some loving. Enjoy this video of Zella playing fetch:

Hello to all the DFW Lab friends that stop by to read about me. Before I came to my foster home I was not handled much. Then one day the volunteers from DFW Lab Rescue showed up. I did not understand that they were there to help us and not having learned to trust any humans, I tried really hard to run away. I was terrified. My foster mom saw that immediately and knew I would take a bit more time than the others to find my forever home and successfully move on to be a beloved family member. My foster parents have been teaching me at my pace. I am walking on a leash in the neighborhood now and I love going for walks unless it's trash day - those cans scare me. I am allowed to slow down and sniff which helps me to understand more. Sometimes I get nervous like when we stop to talk to neighbors. I will stand behind my foster family and study the strangers until they leave and I am getting more comfortable with people at a distance.

I can now eat treats from my foster mom’s hands. In the evening she sits on the floor with us and we are learning sit which I hate and lie down which I have mastered. She is always talking to me and tells me when I am a good girl. I get a bit nervous about her motives and won’t come when asked yet but we will see how that goes in the near future. We still have a long way to go and I am going to visit with a trainer for some more focused training this week. I like my foster dad unless he puts me in the crate. When he lets me out I give him a single “what for” bark then go on my way. He still makes me a little nervous but he means well so I will give him a little affection now and then.

I love my foster siblings. They make me feel safe. The yellow girl barks to warn us of ANY possible danger. This way I can run in or out the dog door. Speaking of the dog door, it is so handy and I have learned to go outside whenever I want to go potty. I like my foster mom the best. She is very patient with me. She will play with me if my foster siblings won’t. Since I have been here we have had two other fosters my age and I have learned a lot about playing.

Please check back for updates. I will remind my foster mom to post them so you will know when I am getting ready for my forever home.

Jeau - 2.3 Year Old Male

Jeau - 2.3 Year Old Male

COMING SOON

Initial intake information: Black Male - 70 lbs - Heartworm Negative - Avail Mid Jan

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.

Like all of us as we age we sometimes our health isn't the best, he is currently being treating for elevated liver enzymes. Ff you are willing to open your heart and home to this handsome fella he will be fur-ever grateful!

Lucie - 7.1 Year Old Female

Lucie - 7.1 Year Old Female

COMING SOON

Initial intake information: Yellow Female 124 lbs - Heartworm negative - Est available late Feb

Lucie is a sweet, big ol’ teddy bear with a huge heart and love for people. She is most content and happy being right by your side, especially when you’re cooking in the kitchen. She is food motivated and as a result, is working on getting into better shape with daily walks and a healthy diet. She loves her walks, and has a bit of pep in her step as she cruises the neighborhood. She also knows the words down/sit and paw, and will give you her paw when she wants ear rubs.

Lucie likes to play fetch and is really interested in the swimming pool but foster mom says it’s too cold now. There’s no doubt she’s a swimmer!

Lucie is house broken, can be trusted in the house, and gets along well with her little human foster brothers, and any new people or dogs she meets.

Lucie will do best in an active home with daily walks and a commitment to help her lose those winter/COVID pounds so she can be the best version of herself. She is an easy going, chill, and loyal pup says foster mom, and will make a loving companion or family dog.
