My personality

My story

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

Meet Lucy Goosey!

Lucy is a one-year-old, 55-pound bundle of fun available for adoption in Texas and New England!

She is an active, playful girl who loves backyard zoomies, tossing toys around, and hanging out on pup-friendly patios. Lucy is a social butterfly at doggy daycare, consistently earning great notes for being friendly, playful, and the life of the paw-ty!

An ideal adventure buddy, Lucy would thrive with an active family that enjoys hiking and road trips — she loves car rides and exploring new places. She’s also great with kids and would enjoy having active kiddos to play and snuggle with.

One of Lucy’s cutest quirks is her love for ice cubes. The moment the freezer door opens, she’ll dash from wherever she is to collect her “ice tax” — it’s her favorite little treat!

Lucy sleeps peacefully in her crate with the door open, on a cozy dog bed, or snuggled up in bed with her foster family. When they’re away from home, she settles in comfortably on the couch and relaxes until they return.

She walks well on a leash, regularly checking in and sitting when stopped. She’s working on her manners and while she sometimes jumps while excited outside, a quick reminder helps her remember to sit politely for attention.

Lucy loves toys but will happily collect sticks, rocks, or other treasures found outside if not provided with plenty of appropriate options. Because of her curious, playful nature, she would do best in a home without cats.

After a day of fun and activity, Lucy is a world-class snuggler who’s always up for belly rubs and cozy naps next to her people. She’s spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and current on preventatives — ready to start her next big adventure with a forever family.

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.
