You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.9/19/2024 Hello, friends! It’s Lucy, checking in. In case you forgot, I’d like to highlight some of my positive features, and remind you what a lovely lady I am! I love to take walks, and I consistently keep a loose leash. You might say walking is my superpower! I steer clear of pedestrians, bicycles, strollers, and other dogs. I may stop to sniff for a few moments, but I don’t linger. As a mature, middle-aged lady, I sleep a lot during the day. I don’t have some of the naughty behaviors of less mature labs. I’m completely housetrained, and I sleep quietly through the night. I don’t bark, I don’t jump, I don’t counter surf, and I’m not destructive. I like to be close to my humans, and prefer not to be left alone, but we’re working on building my confidence and I’m making amazing progress! Oh, did I mention that I’m highly food motivated, so that’s another plus! While on walks, I alert to squirrels, but don’t chase. I ignore ducks and geese. I haven’t been tested with cats yet, but when I've come across them in the neighborhood, I ignore them. I am quite healthy now that I’ve been spayed and have had extensive dental work. I have some age-related changes in my spine (who doesn’t at my age!), so I take a supplement and a mild pain reliever, but it doesn’t seem to interfere with my physical abilities. I like car rides, so won’t you take me home?!? If you are an approved adopter and would like to be considered as a potential adopter, please email Labmatch@labadoption.org. If you are not yet approved, you can read about, and start the process here. 9/2/2024 Lucy checking in! Actually, I’m wondering why I haven’t found my forever home yet. I’ve been in my foster home since May, and no one is interested in adopting me. I can’t figure out why? I love car rides, I don’t bark, I’m a perfect lady in the house and don’t mess with anything, I love going for walks, I also like just laying by your side. Once I warm up to people, I am your best friend. What’s not to love? Ok, maybe it’s because I’m not a fan of my foster sister and foster mom thinks I should be an only dog? But I love daycare, and they say I’m coming out of my shell, so it’s not like I don’t like ALL dogs, I must just be selective. If your looking for a companion to be by your side, and love you unconditionally, I’m your girl. I still have so much love to give, and I am waiting patiently to find my forever home! If you would like to learn more about me and have already been approved, please email labmatch@labadoption.org. Or fill out an application from here. I just know my forever home is out there! Could it be you?? 7/28/24 HEY EVERYONE!! I just had a dental done, had 7 teeth pulled and 2 root canals, and now my teeth are pearly white. The vet thinks I'm somewhere between 7 and 8 years old, and I am a huge lover. I'm very content to hang out with you. I know my forever home is out there, because foster mom tells me so, and I sure would love a home to call my own... If you're an approved adopter, I'd sure love to meet you. Reach out to labmatch@labadoption.org if you're already approved, or start the process at www.labadoption.org! I'll be waiting... UPDATE 7/16/24 Hi! Well I’m much more comfortable in my foster home now that I’m used to the routine. I like to stay close to my foster parents especially my foster mom. They think I was close to my mom before she passed away. I’m spending more time alone with my foster dad and doing really good. Well, maybe I cry a little when foster mom leaves, but then I just hang out with foster dad. I even spent a day with my foster uncle and he said I was super good. I just followed him around all day. Guess you could say I'm a bit of a velcro dog. I’ve been going to doggie day care 4 or 5 days a week, and I'm getting along fine with the dogs there. I also like to follow the staff around. Next week I’m going to a dental specialist for a cleaning and X-rays to check 2 teeth that are cracked. I would sure love to find my forever family! I might be a little shy when I meet you, but I’ll warm up to you quickly, and love you forever. Please consider adopting me, I have so much love to give. 5/9/24 Hi everyone! My name is Lucy and I’m new to L.E.A.R.N. so my foster family is still getting to know me. I was surrendered to a shelter along with 2 other dogs after my mom passed away and my dad didn’t want to keep me. Even though I lived with 2 other dogs I’m not very fond of the lab that lives here. Not sure if it’s all the change, or maybe I lived with smaller dogs, or maybe our personalities just don’t mesh. It happens… Good thing is, my foster family and a trainer are helping me with that. They think I’ll be able to overcome it with the proper training. I did go and meet the day care crew, and was ok when I saw all the big dogs, so who knows what’s up at the moment. I’ll keep working at it. My foster family tells me I’m a sweet girl but a little fearful. I’m getting more comfortable every day. I stay in a crate at night and when no one is home. When I’m not in the crate I like to stay close to my foster parents and I don’t bother anything in the house. I’m pretty quiet and mellow. We went to a dog wash and I was very good! I was just spayed and need a little time to heal but I’m still available to meet you. If you have a another dog, we could try a meet and see if we get along, but it may end up to be the best if I’m the only dog in the house.
