🌈 Remembering Jake 🌈

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Jake, a beloved member of Cindy and John Crump’s family, on November 24, 2024.

Born on October 21, 2010, Jake came to LOLIN as a senior in need of a loving home. Cindy and John fostered him in 2019, but it didn’t take long for them to realize Jake was meant to be part of their family forever.

Over the years, Jake became a big brother to countless fosters the Crumps welcomed into their home. Jake was so lucky to have been chosen by Cindy and John, who gave him the best years of his life, filled with love, care, and companionship alongside their other pups.

Rest easy, sweet Jake. You were so deeply loved, and your legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew you. ❤️

🌟 Meet Toby: The Sweetheart of the Season! 🌟

Hi, I’m Toby! I’m a 1-year-old, 50-lb cuddlebug searching for my forever family. 🐾 I’m a gentle and social pup who’s great with kids of all ages, and I get along wonderfully with other dogs and even cats! My favorite things include zooming around the yard, keeping an eye on the neighborhood wildlife, and snuggling up close to my people.

I’d thrive in a home with another playful dog to keep me company and someone who’s around a lot to give me all the love and attention I adore.

To help me adjust and continue learning, LOLIN will sponsor professional training sessions for me after adoption—how pawsome is that? 🐶✨

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and playful companion to brighten your days, I might just be the perfect pup for you! 💕

🐾 A HUGE thank you to SS Boarding LLC! 🐾

This holiday season, SS Boarding LLC went above and beyond to help spread the word about our adoptable dogs. They asked us to send in photos and details of our pups and created beautiful flyers to hang in local businesses. Their efforts will help give our labs the exposure they need to find their forever homes. 🎄 Check out adoptables Blaze and Haiden in the photo!

If you’re out and about, be sure to check out these flyers and see the adorable faces looking for their second chance.

We’re so grateful for SS Boarding LLC’s support—not just for Love of Labs but for other rescues, too. It’s incredible to see businesses like this stepping up to make a difference in the rescue community.

💔 Another Holiday Without a Forever Home for Grover 💔

The holidays are a time for family, warmth, and love—but for Grover, it’s just another season without a family to call his own.

At 10 years old, this sweet senior lab has already been through so much. He’s deaf and has vision challenges but that hasn’t stopped him from being an incredible dog with so much love to give. Grover is happiest when playing with his toys, feeling the comfort of a soft blanket, or enjoying quiet moments with the people he loves.

He needs a special home where he can feel safe, loved, and cared for—a place to finally belong. Grover deserves to spend his golden years surrounded by a family who sees past his challenges and loves him for the gentle soul he is.

Could you be the one to make this his last holiday season without a family? Please help us find Grover his forever home by sharing his story or applying to adopt him today.

🐾 Let’s give Grover the gift he’s been waiting for—love, security, and a home to call his own.

🎉 Giving Tuesday Update!🌟

As the curtains close on an extraordinary Giving Tuesday, we are thrilled to announce that we've raised $4,540, not including the generous match from Ed Martin Automotive! Your kindness and support have surpassed our expectations, and we're overflowing with gratitude. 🐾❤️

Our mission at Love of Labs Indiana (LOLIN) is simple yet profound: to provide love, care, and lifelong homes for Labs and Lab mixes, like recently adopted Rufus pictured here, in need. From the moment of rescue to the joy of rehabilitation, we’re here to make tails wag and hearts happy. Today, you’ve helped us move closer to that goal.
But our journey doesn't end here. The need for support is ongoing, and every bit helps us create brighter futures for these loving labs. Be a part of our journey! Get involved, spread the word, and let’s continue to work together for the wellbeing of our furry friends. 🐕

Check out www.LOLIN.org to see how you can contribute further to our mission. Whether it's through volunteering, fostering, or donating, every action counts.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated, shared our posts, and cheered us on. And a special shoutout to Ed Martin Automotive for their match, which will double the impact of your contributions!

🐾 Giving Tuesday Spotlight: Grady, Our Senior Superstar 🐾

At 11 years old, Grady has faced more challenges than most pups—but thanks to your generosity, this sweet senior is thriving and loving life.

Grady came to LOLIN in November 2023, and we immediately got to work addressing his health needs:
🩺 During his neuter surgery, vets removed a large benign tumor from his belly.
🩺 He was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, which is managed with daily medication.
🩺 In March, he experienced a terrifying case of bloat, a life-threatening emergency for deep-chested dogs. Despite immediate care and a new prescription diet, he had recurring stomach issues.
🩺 In October, Grady underwent a surgical procedure to “tack” his stomach in place, and he’s been doing wonderfully ever since! Through it all, Grady has remained a happy, affectionate boy who adores everyone he meets. He’s the official “door greeter” at his foster home and loves soaking up all the pets, especially from kids. 🐕✨

✨ Senior dogs like Grady deserve the best care, and your donations make that possible.

Help us share Grady's story to inspire others to give. Every donatio allows us to take on complex cases and give deserving dogs like Grady the second chances they need. Through tonight, Ed Martin Automotive is still matching donations! Please click the link below to make a life-saving donation.

🐾 Giving Tuesday Spotlight: Timid Tess 🐾

Not all wounds are visible. For dogs like Tess, the road to healing starts in the heart—and thanks to your support, she found her way. ❤️

When Tess came to LOLIN, she was terrified of everything, even her own shadow. But she was in the right place. Her experienced foster mom—who has cared for hundreds of dogs over 15 years—patiently helped Tess take those first steps toward trust. We also partnered with a veterinary behaviorist to support Tess as she worked on building her confidence.

Her journey didn’t end there. Tess’s adopter understood her fears and gave her the time and love she needed to adjust. Slowly but surely, Tess began to relax, knowing she was finally safe and loved.

The best surprise? Another LOLIN dog, Sophie, joined the home a few months later and became Tess’s partner in crime. With Sophie by her side, Tess blossomed into a playful, confident girl who loves chasing bird shadows in the yard and bringing joy to her mom’s life. 🐾✨💙 Training and behavior support change lives.

Because of your generosity, dogs like Tess get the help they need to overcome their past and find happiness in their forever homes.

💡 Share Tess’s story and help us continue making a difference. Every donation matters.

🐾 Giving Tuesday Spotlight: Winston for the Win! 🐾

Meet Winston (formerly Slater)—a shining example of what your generosity makes possible. ❤️

When Winston came to LOLIN, he faced a long road to recovery:
💔 Pneumonia
💔 Skin issues
💔 Heartworm positive
💔 Heart murmur
💔 Severely underweight

Despite it all, this shy, sweet boy just wanted love—and he found it in his foster mom, quickly becoming her shadow. After five months of vet visits and TLC, Winston was finally ready to meet his forever family.

Enter the Boyd family, who drove all the way from Illinois to meet him. The moment Winston walked into the room with his big, lovable head, they were hooked. 💕 As they drove home, Winston rested his head in their son’s lap, and the bond was sealed.

Now, Winston lives his best life as a silly, treat-loving, Zoom-call-crashing companion. He adores his new family, especially waiting at the door for his human brother to return from school.

✨ Your donations made Winston’s second chance possible. A huge thank you to our incredible vet partners for their dedication to complex cases like Winston’s. 💙

🐾 Giving Tuesday Spotlight: Meet Hank! 🐾 Ever wonder where your donations go? Let us introduce you to Hank—a true testament to the power of love and generosity. ❤️ Hank’s journey wasn’t easy. When he came to LOLIN, he was heartworm positive and had a severely torn ACL. Before he could even think about surgery, Hank had to endure months of treatment to clear his heartworm—a long and challenging wait for both him and his Foster-to-Adopt mom. But Hank’s story doesn’t stop there. He now serves as a loyal “seeing-eye dog” for his sister, Lydi, who was born with rapidly developing cataracts. Together, they’re not just a team—they’re family. Hank is also the sweetest big brother to his human sibling, Julia. You’d never know this resilient boy had such a tough start. Today, Hank spends his days chasing squirrels, playing fetch, and loving life with his people. 🐕✨ 🩺 Thank you to our vet partners for providing Hank with the care he needed to live his best life. 💙 Your donations make this possible.

🌈 In Loving Memory of Ginger 🐾❤️ Dear Love of Labs family, With heavy hearts, we share the news of Ginger's journey to the Rainbow Bridge. Adopted several years ago, Ginger brought immeasurable joy and love to the Hastings family. Her adoptive family reflects on the incredible bond they shared, learning that the worry of bonding with an adult dog was unfounded. Ginger settled into their hearts and lives, becoming an integral part of the family. For 8 wonderful years, the Hastings family and Ginger embarked on countless adventures—camping, hiking, boating, and swimming—creating cherished memories that will forever linger in their hearts. The Hastings family shared the incredible video of Ginger's adventures below - such a beautiful tribute. Ginger was the sweetest companion, and though the Hastings family is adjusting to life without her, they are immensely thankful for the time they shared. As Ginger crosses the Rainbow Bridge, may her spirit continue to bring warmth and love to the hearts she touched. 🌈🐾❤️
