🐾 Meet Willy Wonka: A Sweetheart in Search of Love! 🍫💕
Willy Wonka, the charming 4-year-old chocolate lab, is on a mission to find his forever family in time for Valentine's Day!
Willy Wonka is a playful soul who enjoys frolicking with balls and stuffed toys (be ready for a bit of shredding action). In his foster home, Willy has furry foster siblings he adores, and he dreams of having a furry brother or sister in his forever home – the perfect built-in best buddy!
Willy Wonka is your ideal fitness companion, making walks a ton of fun and helping his new pawrents stick to their New Year's resolutions. With a preference for not being left alone for long periods, he'd thrive with a mom or dad who works from home.
This sweet boy is already potty-trained and crate-trained, making life easier for his future family!
If you're ready to welcome Willy Wonka into your heart and home, reach out to LOLIN for a meet and greet. Let's make this Valentine's Day extra special with chocolate kisses from the lovable Willy Wonka! 🐶❤️🍫
🌈 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. 🌈🐾❤️
🐾 Meet Bruno, the Gentle Giant with the Cutest Curly Tail! 🌟
At 4 years old and 77 pounds, Bruno is a yellow lab mix with legs for days! 🐾 Check out his video to see his adorable curly tail!
Bruno is a sweet and gentle giant who loves attention and making his people happy. He is super intelligent and know commands like sit, come, stay, and more. He loves chasing critters and birds, so he needs at least a six-foot fence. Bruno is also content sunning himself on the back deck.
Car rides are a blast, especially with the wind in his fur! Bruno is a big fan of walks and guess what? he is already potty-trained. He does not require a crate as he is perfectly content sleeping next to his foster parents on the floor.
Ready to make Bruno a part of your family? Check out Brunos profile at http://tinyurl.com/28uv9kjm to bring this lovable giant into your home! 🏡🐶❤️

We just KNOW there is the perfect forever family for sweet puppy Eli out there.... Allow him to introduce himself!!
Hello there! I'm Eli! I'm a 9 month old black lab mix and weight a petite 40 pounds. I am looking for a very special family!
I had a rough start to life. 😢 I was left outside in a pen with my 3 siblings for my first 7 months. Love of Labs came to our rescue and now I'm loving life. I was very unsocialized and am learning the ropes from my foster siblings. I really need a sibling or two in my new home. Do you have a furry friend in your house for me to learn from and play with? Since I've been here they have taught me to eat from a doggie bowl, all about treats and toys, and how to play. I have come a long way and I'm a much happier puppy than I was before!
Of all of my siblings, I am the most shy but I'm improving everyday. I would like a low traffic home to live in. I don't like many visitors as they're a little scary at first! While my foster mom says I'm great with other dogs, I'm still working to trust people. I will take a while to warm up to you when I first meet you. Once I do, you better look out because I'm a 10 month old puppy ready to have a good time! Could you help me continue to be confident and give me the life I deserve?
I've learned my crate is my safe place and go to it when I'm a little scared. I'm mostly potty trained and hope you have a great yard for me to play in. I will still need basic training but now that I've found treats, I think it'll be a breeze!
