Story
Meet Finn! This handsome golden retriever came to us by way of Hitchcock Road Animal Services where he was turned in as a stray and no one came to claim him. We can’t believe he wasn’t missed because he is an extremely sweet and loving boy! While we are still getting to know Finn a little better, he is already settling in well at his foster home. He gets along well with the three resident male dogs in his foster home (two large golden retrievers and a Bernese mountain dog). He has not shown any tendency toward “marking” in the house, and for the most part, seems potty trained. He has a lot of love to share…so much that he really doesn’t understand the concept of personal space! He has a hard time controlling his licker and if you get too close, be prepared for a sloppy, wet kiss (or three!). Now, we don’t know Finn’s life before he came to us, but it’s pretty clear that training was not a high priority in his former home. While he appears to know “sit”, other basics like “no”, “off” and “stay” are foreign to him…and we also know that Finn was a name given to him at the shelter and he really has not learned that it’s his name yet. He is a very smart guy and learns fast, however it will be an adoption requirement that his adopters register him for a basic obedience class as he will be a much better family member with some improved manners. He is young and has a lot of energy - he would be a great running or hiking buddy and would also do well with another canine companion. He has not been introduced to cats yet. Interested in Finn? Fill out our online adoption application today by visiting our website at www.animalfriendsrescue.org!

Story
We got Benny when he was 12 weeks old. He’s now 1 year 5 months. We have a 10 month girl with another babygirl due in July. We don’t have time for him especially in the coming months. We are heartbroken at the idea of having to rehome him. He’s such a sweet and playful dog. He’s so good around my 10 month old girl. He’s potty trained and uses a doggy door as he pleases

Story
Meet our new Grey's Anatomy Pups who came to us from a local family who needed help finding homes for their sweet pups who were born from their family dog who was a Golden Retriever. We know the breed of these pups as they knew both mom and dad. They shared they are Goldendoodle pups. They have been well socialized around kids. These pups are social, happy, playful and adorable. Meredith is looking for a family that understands the time, patience, and energy needed to raise a young pup. We require all puppy adopters to provide training that includes: house training, basic training, leash training, and socialization. Additionally, this cutie is going to need proper exercise, mental stimulation, and your attention and love to grow up to be the best companion. We do not allow our dogs or puppies to sleep or live outside; they must be incorporated into your family and be made a priority in your life. In return, you will have the most loving and loyal family member you could ask for. If you think you are ready to add to your family by adopting a Grey's Anatomy puppy then fill out an adoption questionnaire on our website today! We recommend completing the questionnaire and connecting with an adoption coach before looking for a dog or puppy you'd like to adopt. If you're already approved to adopt or if you've adopted from Labs and More before, connect with your adoption coach for the next steps. Your interest in adopting a rescued dog or puppy from Labs and More Rescue is appreciated! Please find our adoption information at www.labsandmore.org. Your adoption donation provides funding for Labs and More, a nonprofit organization which is supported solely by Volunteers and funded by donations. Good news is your adoption donation can be considered tax deductible. So much care is provided to your new dog prior to the adoption, including: spay and neuter, microchip, veterinarian visit(s), vaccinations, and other medical care as needed. Many of the dogs we rescue require extensive surgeries and care prior to adoption. Please understand we are unable to predict future behavior or medical needs of your adopted dog. We provide no guarantees regarding behavior, breed, or age of the dogs. Thank you for Meet our new Grey's Anatomy Pups who came to us from a local family who needed help finding homes for their sweet pups who were born from their family dog who was a Golden Retriever. We know the breed of these pups as they knew both mom and dad. They shared they are Goldendoodle pups. They have been well socialized around kids. These pups are social, happy, playful and adorable. Thank you for joining the Adoption Family with Labs and More Rescue. We are here to help you find a furry companion. You will find our quick and easy adoption application at www.labsandmore.org and click on Adopt. Please email us at I doginfo@labsandmore.org if you need assistance. Thank you for looking to a rescue group to fulfill your dream of adding a new dog to your life! Dogs + Love = FamilyApril 21, 2026, 3:31 pm
