Sasha crossed the Rainbow Bridge 💔🌈🐾
My heart is broken but at the same time grateful… Sasha gave me 12 years of happiness. She lived in 3 states, visited 7, spent vacations in lakes, ski resorts… she had a great life. She went to work with me daily and was my companion and my best friend during my. Oat difficult times..

Thank you Sasha and Labradors Friends of the South for rescuing her so she could rescue me.

Happy FriYAY from Adoptable Gryffin!
This sweet girl loves soaking up some sunshine and sun bathing! ☀️🕶️

Gryffin is not only house trained but has also been professionally trained by our LFS trainer! This well trained girl would love to find a forever family that can love her as much as she can love them 💕 She would do best in a low key home and as an only dog so she can get all the love her heart could ever dream of!

Cooper has crossed the Rainbow Bridge 💔🌈
Our sweet boy Cooper (formerly Bridger) crossed the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. We adopted him back in February 2020 from Labrador Friends of the South, Inc. when he was 8. He had been a street dog in Athens, GA before he was adopted by a family. The family adopted him as a gift for their young son who had just beat leukemia. Unfortunately the son went into remission years later and Cooper was given back to the shelter. There Cooper stayed unwanted for almost a year until we adopted him. Cooper was our constant companion in our travels/adventures/moves. He never said no to a hike/walk or food. He was sure to collect the cheese and turkey tax when sandwiches were made and we always had to get him pepperoni from Costco. Cooper was able to go to 8 states and 3 national parks. He even competed in a 2 mile race at the last park he visited this summer. When he wasn’t out on an adventure with us, he was snuggling up on the sofa or bed. He also enjoyed rolling around on the carpet upstairs and having senior zoomies. Unfortunately, old age, arthritis, and fatty tumors on his joints lead to a quick decline over the last few weeks, and we knew it was time. We will miss our sweet boy dearly but will also remember the lessons he taught us. I hope he knows we loved him almost as much as he loved us.

Cooper meant a lot to the LFS family. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving this boy the best final years!

🐾 Update on Adoptable Gryffin 🐾
Gryffin has been doing well with our LFS trainer, who’s been refreshing her training and helping her feel more confident. In the past, she’s been protective, likely due to fear of losing the people and things she loves, but she’s incredibly sweet, calm, and loves finding sunny spots to relax. She’s making great progress and will be the perfect dog for the right family.

Gryffin would thrive in a home with experienced dog owners who are confident and comfortable continuing to re-enforce her training. We also think she would do best as an only dog with older children.

Trainer Update: Gryffin is doing extremely well, showing no signs of resource guarding or possessiveness. She doesn’t have fight reactivity but instead shows flight reactivity. As a high-ranking female, she handles other dogs well, giving calm and proper corrections. She’s even been gentle with a puppy who tends to annoy the older dogs and provide the puppy with gentle corrections. Gryffin has done great on leash training with high-value treats.

Since Sunday, Gryffin has been staying with me, my wife, our five-year-old son, two dogs, and another trainee. She hasn’t shown any possessiveness or resource guarding.

The only reactivity has been along the fence line when other dogs enter the outside daycare area, likely due to the narrow space. She responds well to a strong “leave it” command and settles quickly.

Camden has crossed the Rainbow Bridge 💔🌈
We’ve been meaning to let you know that our dear sweet Camden (Adonis while at LFS) passed way peacefully on July 27th. He had an aggressive and terminal form of bone cancer that spread from his spinal column. It was honestly the most devastating day of our lives but he was in so much pain and we are thankful he is at peace now. He was such a treasured part of our family and we are so thankful that you helped us find him. He was the absolute best dog we could have ever imagined, watching over his little human brother with special needs and me as I progressed through my 2nd pregnancy. Thank you so much for all the work you do! ♥️

🐾 Update on Gryffin 🐾
We have a little swimmer 🏊‍♀️ with some sass 😝(see 2nd picture 😂). Gryffin is a super sweet, very well trained girl! With a rough start as a puppy, she has taken on the protector roll and has trouble trusting others when it comes to her people. She would do best in a home as the only dog and with a family that is comfortable continuing her training so she knows that she doesn’t need to protect everyone anymore 💕 She would also do best in a home with out a lot of visitors or little kids so she can feel relaxed and safe in her forever home 🏠
