Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi! I'm BART. My foster mom says that means Brave and Resilient Trooper. She thinks my life before foster was super scary since I army crawled out of the shelter when she came to get me. But being BART, I am making a comeback! I am working on learning to trust people and new experiences. Thankfully my foster family has shown me all the love, patience, and "atta boys". My foster mom says I am the best boy and she is really hoping I go to a family who loves me as much as they do.
I am potty-trained and house-trained. I am not crate-trained but I don't need it. In fact, from the very first night, I have never gotten into anything I shouldn't have. I really don't roam much as I prefer my safe place to anything else. I'm a low-key kind of guy. No jumping from me. I greet you by beating my thick tail against the floor, the wall, or whatever is nearby. But I'm not likely to get up...you'll just have to follow the sound of my tail! I am a patient boy during bath time and my foster mom says I am amazing on a leash! I get along with my 2 canine sisters, who are age 7 and 11.
Some things I love are belly rubs, chewing on my bone, long, lazy naps in a comfy bed, chewing on my bone, staying inside and did I mention chewing on my bone!? I like an occasional, leisurely walk, emphasis on occasional and leisurely with a capital L. There are some things I don't like at all: Thunderstorms are one but my mom gives me Composure Pro from the vet to calm my anxiety and lays next to me during the worst of the Oklahoma storms. I also don't like other male dogs. Nope, not one bit! No, thank you! Loud noises and sudden movements startle me. And a raised hand with your palm facing down will cause me to flinch.
I've lived with my foster family since December 30th, 2022. My foster mom is so proud of how far I've come and what I've overcome! I am looking for a quieter home where my people are home most of the time. I would be okay being the only dog or in a home with a calm, submissive large breed female dog. I just want to be loved! If you have room in your heart, I have room in mine!

Most of our Meets are done virtually due to Covid as well as successful adopters are often geographically distanced. Fosters and potential adopters arrange "Facetime" meetings.

More about this rescue
A Lab for Life (ALL) provides a compassionate life-line to abandoned dogs that includes a safe haven, medical care by a licensed veterinarian, nutrition (food) and a fur-ever family through adoption. ALL promotes the humane treatment of animals in the community.
ALL was founded in July 2020 by a group of dog advocates in central Oklahoma and
Northeastern US after some had been volunteering with an out of state rescue for over 5 years. That experience solidified a local organization was needed. ALL formed to rescue as many stray, homeless and owner surrendered dogs as possible by partnering with many state-wide shelters and rescue operations. In addition to transferring homeless dogs from the shelters, fostering them in temporary homes and adopting them out, we also provide behavioral and medical resources to people who are considering surrendering their dog in an effort to keep the dog in their homes and out of the shelter/rescue system.
ALL operates under the 5 freedoms for animal welfare.
We are a brand new organization and welcome donations!
