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.

Henrie - 3.4 Year Old Male
COMING SOON
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.

Brenda - 5.2 Year Old Female
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Yellow Femlae 54 lbs - Heartworm positive - Est available date - TBD
My new name is Brenda. The rescue changed it because they knew I needed a fresh start. My foster mom said I’m a good example of what happens when you give your dog away to a “friend”. See where I came from the animal control officer knew me and my real family. I had a happy healthy life once. I’m not sure why but they gave me to their “friend”. I was allowed to wander the streets with my new dog siblings. I lived outside, was not given regular meals, not kept up on my vaccines and, of course, never got a Heartworm prevention pill. So a year later, the three of us were picked up by animal control and left at the shelter by my new owner. Thankfully, they knew to call DFW Lab Rescue.
I am happy to be in my foster home. I love my foster siblings. Initially I was pretty sad but I’m finding more joy each day. When I first got here we had a puppy. I loved her and we would play but she has been adopted. I love the air conditioning and the soft beds to sleep on inside. I’m not a big fan of long walks and I really don’t see the attraction of that swimming pool. My foster siblings think it’s good fun to chase the toys my foster parents throw. Once, maybe twice, ok but geez it is hot out there. So I go back into the house and wait until they get over it. I will chase the cats however. Now, I won’t hurt them but it’s fun to watch them run.
My favorite things are breakfast, dinner car rides, and treats. I like chew toys and keeping you company. I should tell you I hate thunderstorms. When they come I like to go to a safe place like the closet, in bed or on the couch with you if you will let me.
If you are looking for a laid back, low energy companion that’s me. My post Heartworm treatment rest is almost over so let the Adoptions Team know if I’m the dog you are looking for.
Keene - 1.2 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 - 4.1 Year Old Female

Miia is currently getting settled in with us, please check back soon for updates
Calia - 4.1 Year Old Female
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Black Female - 76 lbs - Heartworm positive- Est available Mid August
Hi, my name is Calia! With all these new changes, I can be a bit shy, but I see a bright future as a spoiled, elegant lady!
My favorite spot is hanging out in the backyard, where I can sniff and sunbathe. My foster mom says I'm calm and a model pup inside the house too. I absolutely love getting pets, and don't worry, I'll be sure to nudge you if you forget! My skills include napping, using you as a pillow, and relaxing on the couch.
I get along with my four-legged foster sister, and I'll come running if I hear her getting attention without me! I like to have my own space to relax, but you can invite me for a cuddle any time. I'm excited to meet you soon!
Leni - 5.1 Year Old Female
COMING SOON
Initial Intake Info: 64 lbs. - chocolate/silver - female. Heartworm positive. Est. Available Date mid to late August.
Hello, my name is Leni and I am a beautiful calm silver lady. I am very gentle, affectionate and am really quiet. My foster mom has only heard my voice once so she knows when I'm serious about something. I don’t like the crate at all and get anxious in it. However, I am super respectful of the house. My foster mum lets me stay in my favorite room when she needs to go out so I'm fine without a crate. To be honest, I really like going with her and I am the best sidekick in the car. I am also very easy on a leash (no pulling) and am learning some basics like sit and stay. I have tried the pool and am quite interested in it but will definitely need some swimming lessons.
When I arrived at my foster mom’s I needed a few good meals. I am still working on putting some weight on and the food here is awesome. I am very happy with the snacks!
I get along with everyone (dogs and humans – not tried cats) and am happiest curled up next to my person as close as I can get. I have had my treatment for heartworms and am taking it easy for a couple of weeks and then I will start looking for my forever home.

Prishe - 8.7 Month Old Female
COMING SOON
Initial Intake Info: Black - Female - 40 lbs. Est. Available Date - Early Aug
Hi there. Thanks so much for stopping by. My name is Prishe. The past few weeks have been the craziest of my 8 months of life. It was scary being on the streets and I am so glad to have landed at my foster family's house. To be honest I am not sure how I got here. BUT, the good thing is they are showing me all kinds of new things. I am learning so much. My foster Mom says I would do best if I had a buddy to show me how to do things. See I was alone on the streets and I am not really sure about a lot of things. If I could have a brother or sister dog show me how to play and go for walks I might not think everything is so scary. I have already learned a lot - like walking up and down the steps, how to sit and where to go potty (this one gets a little tricky BUT I am still working on it).
In between all this I sleep on this amazing thing called a dog bed. People can still be scary to me but once I learn you are a nice human I am a great snuggler. I like going in my crate so if you need to head out for the day don't worry about me I will be ready with my wagging tail when you get home. I am really looking forward to finding my forever home. I hope I get to meet you soon.

Riggins is currently getting settled in with us, please check back soon for updates
Trion - 10.7 Month Old Male
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Black Male - 50 lbs - Heartworm negative - Est available Early Aug
Hi- my name is Trion! I have settled in with my foster family which includes 3 foster four legged brothers and I love to play with all of them. I am house/potty trained, but I don't like the crate so my foster mom has not put me in there because I won't go near it! I like to sleep on the floor next to my foster mom and dad. I like to chew bones and toys, but you better watch me or I might get to chewing something that tastes great like a coffee table! Just keep your eye on me and I will be good! I like to walk on the leash, but I'm still getting used to it because I used to live in the country and most likely had free rein! My mom says that I still need some doggy 101 basic training because I don't understand what she means when she says "sit" and "come." I can't wait to find my furever home, it is great with my foster family but I can't wait to get the individual attention that I need and deserve! When can we meet? I can't wait!
Crystal - 3.5 Month Old Female
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Black Female puppy 18 lbs - Est available Early Aug
Grayton - 3.5 Month Old Male
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Chocolate Male Puppy 20 lbs - Est available Early Aug
My name is Grayton and my foster mom says I am one sweet boy! I'm still a puppy so I love to play and chase my foster brother around the yard and the house! My foster mom said that I behave very well for my age. I have typical puppy energy, but try really hard to behave. I am working on potty & crate training, coming when called, swimming and sitting!
I like my crate as long as it's near someone! I'll go in to play with my toys and take a nap. I also eat in my crate, so I really like it at meal times. Foster mom lets me sleep in her room with my foster(dog) brother and sister. I sleep well in my dog bed, but I really prefer to cuddle with my foster brother. Once I get rested, I am ready to play again. She says I am spoiled rotten already. I really like to snuggle and give kisses.
I love playing with the foster(dog) bother and sister and so far I like every dog I see. I haven't seen any cats when out walking so I don't know about them. I would love a home with another dog or kids that can play with me. I really like being part of the pack, even if I am the smallest member. I would love to find a home where I can play and get lots of love!

Bobbey - 1.5 Year Old Male
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Yellow Male 66 lbs - Heartworm negative - Est available mid-August
My name is Bobbey and I’m still a growing boy. I’m very energetic, so I like long walks. I behave really well on leash and also on car rides. I like car rides! Oh, I'm also a great jumper, not to get out of the yard, but because I'm nosy and want to peak at what's happening in the neighbor's yard. I like to chase tennis balls though I need work on my coordination for catching it mid-air. I can be very timid at times and I still have some puppy tendencies and am still learning a few tricks. I don't make a fuss while I'm in the crate, but you have to tempt me with food to get in there. I'm smart like that. I like children, especially the ones that rub and scratch my ears. By the way, I like you use your lap as a headrest while you pet me.
I’m looking for my forever home to give all my love and energy to. Won't you be my best friend?
From Bobbey’s Foster:
Bobbey is a healthy yellow lab. For the most part, he is housebroken, is learning some basic commands, is crate trained, and walks very well and calm on the leash. At 67-ish pounds, he is fairly strong and definitely has some pull on him. He does need to work on getting in the crate, but absolutely no problems when he is in it. He doesn’t whine, cry or make noised while crated. He does chew hard on his toys and some other things. He is good with kids.

Mikie - 5.4 Month Old Male
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Black Male - 38lbs - Est available Late Aug
Hi Everyone! My name is Mikie and ever since I started living with my foster family, I have been dreaming about what my new family will be like. I will give them many kisses and snuggles all the time, and I mean all the time! I have so many things to tell them, like I can sleep nicely in my crate all night long until my people wake up. I also love to play with other dogs, and I know how to sit when you pet me and feed me delicious treats (please have lots available for me). I know you will not believe this, because I’m still so young, but I am great on a leash!
I am a super awesome dog waiting for just the right super awesome family. I can’t wait to meet you; I know we will be best friends!
Rahal - 4.3 Month Old Male
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Black Male Puppy - Est available date - late Aug
Thank you for stopping by to read about Rahal. This boy is crate trained, one of the best I have had and can go all night without going out and doesn’t make a peep while crated. We are working hard on the potty training. Will need to stay constant with the housetraining to help him on this very important task.
Rahal loves to play with the resident dogs. He also enjoys playing in the kiddie pool and is able to play with the toys by himself, if needed.
Rahal can be shy when meeting new people or encountering new adventures, so he will need to keep working on his exposure to new things, people and situations to build his confidence. We are working on leash training, which is coming along good and has not really wanted to chew on the furniture or other things, so that is looking good.
He is still very much a puppy and will need to have guidance on becoming the best dog he can be. Rahal can’t wait to find his perfect home!
Dharma - 1 Year Old Female
COMING SOON
Initial Intake Info: Yellow - Female - 52.8 lbs. Heartworm Negative. Est. Available Date TBD after arrival in foster
Dharma is currently getting settled in with us. Please check back often for updates.
Dotz - 1.2 Month Old Female
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Black Female puppy - estimated to be available around 5 weeks of age
Dotz is still very young and developing her personality, but all early indicators suggest that she will make a wonderful family pet. Dotz is feisty, playful, and loving with a very healthy appetite. It remains to be seen, but she is likely to be just fine in a home with children and other dogs. Her fiesty playfulness might not be appreciated by the feline variety, however.
Starburst - 1.2 Month Old Male

Reba is currently getting settled in with us, please check back soon for updates
Bubbles - 1.2 Month Old Female
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Black Female puppy - estimated to be available around 6 weeks of age
Bubbles is the textbook example of what it means to be small but mighty. Clocking in at an impressive 2.61 pounds, she’ll probably never win a hotdog eating contest, but she sure can throw her weight around when she’s wrestling with her sister, Dotz, or trying to steal her (much bigger) foster sister’s toys. It’s too soon to tell what family might be the best for Bubbles, but all signs so far suggest that she will make a wonderful, loving family pet. She currently has no fear of our other dogs, so she will likely be fine in a multi-pet household.
Lollipop - 1.2 Month Old Female

Lollipop is currently getting settled in with us, please check back soon for updates
Rolo - 1.2 Month Old Male
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Black Male puppy - estimated to be available around 8 weeks of age
I’m a cute snuggly little man full of lots of love. I love being where my foster family is and snuggling. If I’m not snuggling I’m chasing the kiddos to see what they are doing. I will be a snuggly, kiss giving lover boy in my new home. Could that be with you?

Baily - 2 Year Old Female
COMING SOON
Initial intake information: Black female - 45lbs - Heartworm Negative Est available early to mid August
Hello my name is Baily, I am a lovely, small black lab. Look up and down the page and just about the same story goes for me too. I got lost, could not find my way home, no tags, no collar and no chip. Lucky for me a good Samaritan found me and took me in. I've been more than happy to stay with her, a very nice person, but she called Lab Rescue and now I find myself in a good foster. My foster dad says I am good car rider and good house dog.
I love my big and little four legged friends, I love all humans once I have been introduced. I thought you were supposed to bark when a stranger come to the
front door and am learning fast that is not socially accepted. I am great on a leash and love going for walks. At night I prefer to go into my crate just like my
other friends do and I am very patient and very quiet till morning.
I am coming soon and I would like a family, big, small, other dogs, I don’t care, I can just fit into any family that has a little love they can show me, I got plenty to give back.
