Our Labs Are Waiting For You To Find Them

Before going to their forever home, all of our dogs are spayed or neutered (if over 4 months old), microchipped, brought up-to-date on their shots and any medical needs are addressed. Adults are heartworm tested. All our dogs reside in foster homes where we get acquainted with each individual.
