My personality

My story

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

Up for adoption in Texas:

Sully Ford is three years old and a 63-pound bundle of love.

The best way to describe Sully is super chill and always a happy boy. Sully is so sweet, gentle, and loving he earned the nickname “Sweet Sully." Friends and neighbors of his foster parents say what a beautiful dog he is inside and out.

Since Lucky Lab first saved him, Sully has really come out of his shell and shown his fun-loving, adorable personality. He has his Labrador moments of excitement and energy, but for the most part, Sully is lounging outside in the shade, on the tile, napping inside, or chewing on his toys he loves, especially deer antlers.

He goes crazy over belly rubs, and he’s always on his back asking for pets. Sully doesn’t get up on the furniture but will jump onto the bed if he’s invited up. He sleeps in his bed in his foster's room or on the rug.

Sully does great with other dogs and by himself in a home. He has spent time around small and large breeds and plays so gently. He is able to share bones and toys without blinking an eye.

Sully does not need a kennel, nor does he do well in one. He roams his foster's kitchen and living room (blocked off), napping while they are gone, and waits by the door for one of us to come home.

He is good with cats so far. He has been around a kitty in a home he visited and on one of his walks a cat came up to him rubbed up next to him and he just sniffed at it then walked on. He is leash-trained and loves his walks but loves to playfully charge at squirrels.

Sully is not a big fan of baths and car rides, but tolerates it sweetly. Car rides have improved by taking short, fun rides to drive-thrus for treats.

Sweet Sully's foster parents say he will likely be the perfect companion to any family, large or small. He really is the best boy! He would be best with someone who routinely exercises outdoors, where he can tag along. He is so loyal. If someone works from home, that’s a huge bonus!! He loves spending time with his people. Sweet Sully will steal your heart quickly!

Sully is neutered and microchipped and has age-appropriate vaccines. He’s house trained and also loves to go outside and needs to explore first thing in the morning before breakfast to potty. If you would like to add Sweet Sully to your family please apply at www.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.
