Lab Rescue of East Tennessee Available Companions!

"A dog may be the only opportunity a human has to choose a relative." - Mordecai Siegal

We are desperately in need of foster homes! Could you foster a Lab? Would you like to "try" one of our labs and see how it works out for you and the dog? Fostering is the perfect way to do so! Email Linda if you're interested in fostering a lab.

PLEASE NOTE: We *absolutely must* have your completed adoption application before we can make an appointment for you to meet one of our rescue dogs. Please be sure to note which dog(s) you are interested in on your application.

PLEASE BE PATIENT: We are returning emails and phone calls as quickly as we can. We are all volunteers and have regular jobs and lives in addition to our Lab Rescue work. If you call and ask that we return your call, and you are calling long distance, we would appreciate it if you would give us permission in your phone message to call you back *collect* - or - allow us to return your call, then you call us right back. The less long distance phone charges we have, the more money we will have available to spend directly on our rescue dogs.

Sonny - Nashville

Sonny is a 6-7 year-old blind boy who is as sweet as they come! Through no fault of his own, he hasn't found the right folks to take care of him. He is housebroken, good with other dogs, cats and kids of all ages! He needs a stable home where he can get the exercise (he loves walks) and love he needs! He uses mapping to get around and once familiar with a place can navigate like a sighted dog (just don't move the furniture!) : ) He has had a rough go of life so far and needs someone to call his own! If you can provide Sonny with a forever home or want to find out more about this special dog, please e-mail Mary at damsm@comcast.net or call 615-673-7338. He is waiting in Nashville!

Aspen - Knoxville
Adoption Pending!

Aspen is a healthy, lean, quiet, affectionate, house-trained, 60 lb, 4 yr-old spayed female yellow lab with all shots and a microchip. She is well behaved to the point of being a fine candidate for visiting retirement homes and the likes.

She wants to be by your side but lets you call the shots, lets you eat in peace and doesn't wander when given the chance. She travels beautifully in the car, and she honors boundaries & body language. She's mellow enough to take with you anywhere but is athletic enough to gleefully run besides you as fast as you'd like. She's impeccably good with a leash; you could rollerblade safely with her as she wouldn't tug you off balance. She's a quick bonder, and is thrilled to get any eye contact and ecstatic to get a hug. She does a cute little vertical hop when she's extra happy, such as prepping for her neighborhood walks. She's terrific with cats, children, women, and dogs in all settings. She does seems spooked when she thinks she might be cornered by a man but is better with men in open spaces. It currently takes a few days for a large gentleman to earn her trust indoors, but she's ! learning to anticipate compassion.

Aspen's adoption donation is $200. To see if Aspen is right for your family, contact Jenna at 865-525-0428 or jjjjcccc4444@yahoo.com.

McGee - Knoxville

More information coming soon on McGee. Please send inquiries to happylabs@earthlink.net or call Betsy at 865-688-4110 (after 6:00 p.m.).

George - Mossy Grove, TN

George is a large, handsome fellow with a lovely wise look in his eyes, but he is still fairly young and VERY playful. He is convinced that anyone within his line of sight is there to play with him! He is full of energy and would love for his forever home to have someone who wants to hike, run, play or provide any activity that allows him to be with his companion. He is best suited to a home without small children as his size tends to overpower them when he wants to play. He is very smart and can already sit, shake and fetch. He has been an outside dog so house training and crate training will be necessary. He gets along fine with other dogs, but he thinks cats are to be chased. He is extremely friendly with everyone and with some work he's smart enough to learn manners very quickly. George just needs exercise, discipline and affection as anyone who knows the breed understands!

George is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. His adoption donation is $200.00. For more information on this handsome boy, please send inquiries to happylabs@earthlink.net or call Betsy at 865-688-4110 (after 6:00 p.m. please).

Cooper - Knoxville

Cooper is a 1-2 year-old male black Lab. He is housebroken, crate-trained and good when left in the house alone. He has a strong prey / chase drive and loves chasing his soccer ball. He is great with baths, nail trims and ear cleanings. He is also great with all people and children. He responds well to sit and is learning to lie down and heel.

Cooper is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. His adoption donation is $200.00. For more information on Cooper, please send inquiries to Stephanie at leoryke@hotmail.com.

Due to our extreme need for more foster homes, we have been unable to save all the many beautiful Labbies in local shelters. These sweethearts are hoping to be adopted before their time runs out. Lab Rescue has placed these dogs as referral only. We have not met or screened these animals.
