Meet Peanut! Peanut is approximately 6 months old, 20 lbs currently and she is a mixed breed pup! Her littermates have all been adopted and now it`s her turn. She has been doing great with all her puppy basics! She`s got a head start on house training, crate training, and basic commands. She walks well on a leash and loves her doggie friends! She has no had any experience with cats. No apartments, please!Her MA foster says, `Peanut is your classic happy, sweet puppy — full of love, wiggles, and endless energy! She’s never met a toy she doesn’t love and will do anything for a treat. When it’s cuddle time, she shows off her signature somersault to land right in your lap — it’s her favorite trick! Peanut can be a little shy with new people or pups at first, but she warms up quickly and would love an active playmate to share her adventures with. Plus, a bonus of adopting an older puppy: she sleeps through the night in her crate — no chilly midnight potty breaks this winter!`She is available for adoption in Wilmington, MA or Hopkinton, MA by appointment with an approved adopter.

Story
1 year old Golden/Pyrenees/Staffie mixPatch is a 1 year old Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix looking for his forever home. His owners got him as a very young puppy, but didn’t know at the time that Patch was going to grow up and like to go after the neighbor’s chickens. They share that he is super sweet with humans, but just doesn’t care for livestock so he would be better off living in the suburbs. Please send us your phone number if you would love to hear more about Patch. November 30, 2025, 6:55 am

Story
Meet RUBY SUE! RUBY is a lively 4-month-old sweetheart with a whole lot of sparkle in her step! This girl is full of playful energy and absolutely adores her toys especially anything she can chase. Fetch is her love language, and she’ll happily entertain herself, but her favorite thing in the world is getting your attention. RUBY is a social butterfly who does great with people of all ages. She can get a little bouncy around young kids, but she responds quickly to redirection and is showing just how trainable she is. She already knows some basic commands and beams with pride when she gets it right (especially if treats are involved). During the day, she loves to romp and play… and once the fun winds down, she’s happiest cuddled up with her doggy buddy at night. RUBY is also a total water baby she LOVES splashing in the pool and will jump right in if you let her. The best part? She’s not a big barker at all. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate pup who brings joy and enthusiasm everywhere she goes, RUBY might just be your girl.

Story
Meet HUNTER! HUNTER is a handsome 4-month-old heartthrob who’s equal parts playful and snuggly. This sweet boy has the looks, the charm, and the personality to match he loves to play, but at his core, he’s a total lover. HUNTER gets along wonderfully with everyone he meets. Like most puppies his age, he can get a little excited around small children, but he listens well and is eager to follow your lead. He already knows some basic commands and is extremely food-motivated, proudly waiting for his treat the moment he finishes a task like the good boy he is. He spends his days wrestling and running around with his doggy playmate and winds down by curling up for nighttime cuddles. HUNTER is also a big fan of water put him near a pool and he’ll happily splash the day away. With his gentle nature, eager-to-please attitude, and affectionate spirit, HUNTER is ready to be someone’s very best friend. He’s the perfect mix of fun, sweetness, and puppy charm.

With help from a loving foster, A Lab for Life stepped in — and this little family began to thrive.

They’ve been raised around big and small dogs, a cat, and humans of all ages, so they’re wonderfully well-rounded. They love romping outdoors, chasing toys, and wrestling with each other, but they’re just as happy curling up for a cozy nap in your lap. These pups bring endless joy wherever they go. If you’re looking for a loving, playful companion who’s ready to bring pure happiness into your home, one of these resilient pups might be your perfect match.
