My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Up for adoption in Texas and New England: Jet.

Jet is approximately three years old and weighs 98 pounds. He's a little on the hefty side and recently changed to diet dog food--summer is just around the corner! :)

Jet's foster mom says he has a heart of gold.

In his foster home, he's been welcoming to people who come over, and he gets along with the other dogs (large and small), and cats.
Jet loves to greet you when you come home with his goofy grin and lots of love.

He has a little white splash on his chest which is noticeable when he looks up at you with his big eyes.

Jet loves to be pet and sleep next to your bed on a bed of his own.

He will tell you when he wants to go outside. He's so good that he will even wake you up if it's urgent. He hasn’t mastered fetch yet, but he’s teachable and trying to learn by copying his foster brother.

He will bark to alert you people are arriving at the house or at strange noises in the yard but otherwise does not make a lot of noise.

Jet loves to go on walks with you and help you with yard work. He walks on a leash well and eagerly jumps in the SUV for rides. He looks out the window on the rides, but you will have Jet nose marks on your windows.

Jet also works with his foster Mom when she is working from home and is a gentleman while hanging out in the office, napping, or looking out the window. If you are looking for a large, loveable Labrador Jet may be your new family member. He definitely deserves the best!

Jet is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and crate-trained. If you would like to make Jett part of your family, apply at luckylabrescue.com

More about this rescue

Lucky Lab Rescue and Adoption is an all-volunteer rescue organization whose mission is to reduce the euthanasia rates and inhumane treatment of abandoned Labrador retrievers by finding them loving, forever homes. We have saved more than 1200 dogs Texas shelters over the past two years.


When lucky Labs come into Lucky Lab Rescue, they are immediately vetted with vaccinations, spayed or neutered, heartworm tested and wormed for internal parasites. All dogs receive complete veterinary care before they are adopted out. Also at Lucky Lab Rescue, each dog is temperament tested and evaluated for any signs of aggression and for activity level. Since our goal is to place our Labs in forever homes, it is important to know the general personality of each Lab, as we want to match potential adopters with dogs that would be the best possible fit for a successful adoption.

Most Labs that come into Lucky Lab Rescue are from shelters. Most are at risk of euthanasia, usually due to overcrowded shelters. Labs are one of the most popular breeds of dogs due to their loyal and family-oriented personalities. Labs are also one of the most overbred breeds and are the number one breed to be found in shelters. They also have one of the highest euthanasia rates. Some find it difficult that rescues can be breed specific, however, Lucky Lab Rescue and other Lab rescues make a huge impact on euthanasia rates just by rescuing Labs and Lab mixes alone.

The most popular color of Labs are yellow and chocolate. They tend to get rescued and adopted more often than black labs. Some shelters will automatically euthanize black Labs and some rescue organizations will accept the yellow and chocolate over the black Lab. We at Lucky Labs love our yellows and chocolates, but also feel very committed to rescuing black Labs due to their plight.

"The plight of the black dog refers to the low adoption rate and high
euthanization rate of black dogs in shelters. Black dogs are often
the last to be adopted from an animal shelter. You may not be
aware of how doomed black dogs are when they are brought
to the average animal shelter. Black dogs, particularly large
black dogs like Labradors or Lab mixes,have a very difficult
time getting adopted, and are euthanized at a staggering rate at
many animal control facilities throughout the country. The sad truth
is, they are overlooked in favor of lighter colored dogs."

We are not a shelter. We are a rescue organization and our dogs are housed at several different foster homes.
