My story

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

Up for adoption in Texas: Young Sheldon.

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.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Potential adopters must fill out an application and a Lucky Lab representative will follow up with both a phone and home interview. Our adoption fee includes all vaccinations, microchip, spay or neuter and a heart worm test and treatment for heart worm if needed.

Go meet their pets

We are a foster based rescue. If you become an approved adopter we will make arrangements to meet the dog you are interested in.

The great news is our dogs come house trained, they learn to live in a home and household and they are all "vetted" vaccinated, neutered and microchipped.

Thank you !

More about this rescue

Lucky Lab Rescue and Adoption is an all-volunteer, non-profit 501(c)(3) approved rescue organization whose mission is to reduce the euthanasia rates and inhumane treatment of Labrador Retrievers and lab mixes and find them loving forever homes.

Most labs that come into Lucky Lab Rescue are from municipal and county shelters in Texas. Most are at risk of euthanasia, usually due to overcrowded conditions, great dogs, who ended up in a bad spot.

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.
