Up for adoption in New England and Midwest: Apollo
Handsome 10-month-old Apollo will bring sunshine to your days. This smart, lovable black lab mix pup loves his humans and greets people with his whole back end wagging.
Apollo has a gentle spirit and a desire to be with people. He would love a home where he is with his people most of the time; his sweet spirit would make him a great workplace dog. Apollo enjoys walks and will just need minor training to be a good walking companion.
Currently weighing 56 pounds, Apollo is a good snuggle size and likes a good blanket or bed (human or dog) instead of a kennel. He enjoys having other dogs to play with and wasn’t bothered by the resident cat at the vet’s office.
He enjoys car rides and making friends, human and dog, while out and about. Apollo is motivated by treats and attention and knows basic commands. He is housebroken, neutered, and up to date on shots and flea/tick preventative.
Sweet Apollo is easy to love and is just wanting for his forever family. If you are interested in Apollo, please apply at www.luckylabrescue.com

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."
