My story

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

OCTAVIO is such a good boy - he is so sweet and would be a wonderful companion for a single person or a family. He is completely house trained and will sleep in a crate if you want him to, but he prefers to sleep on cushion by your bed. He's so little trouble that sometimes his foster forget he's there! He walks great on a leash, he plays well with other dogs and doesn't bother the cats. OCTAVIO isn't a runner or a jumper - he was accidentally left on his foster mom's front porch and when they looked outside, he was just sitting by the door! He knows sit, shake and roll over and wait patiently for belly rubs. OCTAVIO isn't a barker either, but he will whine to get your attention to let you know he needs to potty.

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!
