🐾 Meet Rico🐾

Looking for a loyal sidekick with a little zoom and a lot of heart? Rico might just be your perfect match!

At 2-years-old, Rico is all about fun, friendship, and learning how to trust the world around him. With his soulful brown eyes and sweet spirit, he’s already won over his foster family—and he’s ready to win over you, too.

🏡 Rico is living with a pack of playful pups and absolutely LOVES it. Tug games? Yes, please. Backyard zoomies? He’s the reigning champ. He would thrive in a home with a confident, playful dog sibling and a secure, fenced yard where they can stretch their legs together.

🎾 Rico’s got a goofy side, too. He’ll happily chase a ball (and might even bring it back!) and sleeps soundly in his crate with his favorite pink bunny by his side. Just say “Crate,” and he’s in like a pro.

💖 Rico is still building confidence, especially with loud noises and sudden movements, but he’s come a long way. With a little daily support (he takes an inexpensive, vet-prescribed medication to help ease his anxiety), patience, and love, Rico is blossoming into a wonderful companion. He’s best suited to a quieter home with older kids, where he can continue to grow and thrive at his own pace.

His foster family and LOLIN’s vet behaviorist team are here to support his transition—and his potential is endless in the right home. Rico just needs someone willing to see past a shy moment or two and discover the loyal, loving pup he truly is. 🐶💕

🐾💛 Meet Peatree 💛🐾

Peatree’s story didn’t start easy—but this resilient, fluffy pup is ready for a future full of love. Picked up as a stray, Peatree had been walking on an unhealed injury that left one of his hips in bad shape. Thankfully, he made it to LOLIN, where he got the surgery he needed—and he’s been healing like a champ ever since! 🩺🐶

Now 10 months old and about 50 lbs, Peatree is a happy, goofy, playful guy who doesn’t let his past slow him down. He’s still building strength in that leg, so he’ll need gentle walks, some patience, and maybe even a bit of physical therapy to get him back to full zoomie potential.

Here’s why Peatree might just be your perfect match:
🐶 Gets along with dogs, cats, and kids of all ages
🦴 Loves toys—especially chew toys and a good game of tug-of-war
🏡 House trained like a pro
🚫 Not a fan of crates—he prefers a cozy bed or your lap
🐾 Learning leash manners (treats help!) and eager to please

Despite a tough start, Peatree is pure joy—friendly, social, sweet, and full of life. He’s looking for a home where he can continue to heal, grow, and most of all, be included.

Think there’s a spot for Peatree on your couch—and in your heart? 🛋️❤️ He’s ready when you are.

🎉🐾 Happy Tails: Haiden’s Happily Ever After! 🐾🎉

After more than a year in the Love of Labs foster family, Haiden’s big moment has finally arrived—he’s HOME! 💛

This handsome boy came to LOLIN unsure of the world, but thanks to the love and patience of two amazing foster families—Debra Swinehamer, and then Nicky Engledow & family—Haiden grew in confidence, learned important skills, and became the best version of himself.

Now, Haiden is living the good life with his forever family, the Reyes crew, and we hear he’s the best boy! From foster care to full-time family dog, this boy is soaking up every minute of being adored.

To everyone who’s been a part of Haiden’s journey—thank you. His happy ending is a beautiful reminder of what rescue is all about. 🐶❤️

📌 July 1st is National ID Your Pet Day — and this year, it’s more important than ever for Marion County pet owners! 🐾

✨ Why ID Matters:
Every year, thousands of pets go missing during the July 4th holiday due to fireworks and festivities. A microchip is a simple, permanent way to help bring your pet home safely. Collars and tags can fall off—but a microchip is always with them.

📢 New Ordinance Alert – Marion County, Indiana
Starting January 1, 2025, a new county-wide ordinance requires:

🔹 All owned dogs and cats over 3 months old must be microchipped
🔹 Unaltered dogs over 6 months old must be registered with the Marion County Unaltered Animal Registry
🔹 The microchip is now the only legally recognized permanent ID for pets in Marion County

If your pet isn’t chipped yet, now is the time! And if you're unsure whether your contact info is up-to-date in the chip registry, take a few minutes to check—your pet’s safety depends on it.

💡 Pro Tip: Most vets and shelters can scan your pet’s chip for free and help you update the info if needed.

Let’s make sure every tail has a way home. 🐶💛
