Sheldon is a gorgeous, stunning, three-(or so)-year-old boy who weighs about 55lbs, and could use a few more.
When we saved him, all the ladies who volunteered to help drive him to his foster home gushed at what a looker he is!
This handsome boy loves playing with the other dogs in his foster home, including wrestling and chewing on chew toys.
He has a medium energy level. Sheldon will roll on his back and offer you his belly anytime you're willing to rub it! He's so sweet.
The shelter we saved Sheldon from gave him his name, although he doesn't seem to love it; he will "come to you" if you make a kissing sound. :)
He walks well on a leash and has done well at the veterinarian's office; however, Sheldon appears to have some car sickness, so he hasn't traveled too far. He's currently in the Austin area — so if you're local, it might help him on his journey to his forever home.
Sheldon is crate-trained and housebroken, vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered.

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.
