Available for Adoption - NIC
Nic is a 5yo male black TLC Alum and unfortunately his family situation has changed and he needs to find a new home.
Nic loves his balls and will play catch and return for hours if you let him. He is much happier off a leash than on but will walk and sniff the daisies, while trying to water them along the way. Nic has loved all dogs he has encountered including his prior foster siblings and also other family member’s dogs of all sizes. He is also become friends with the household kitty, although he does like to chase occasionally. Nic will let you know when he needs to go potty and when he wants to eat - schedule is very important to him. He loves to play, go on car rides, the golf cart and also thinks he is still a lap dog if you’ll let him. He has been a great support dog during our family changes.

Ready for adoption….Bear

Bear is a 2 year old chocolate lab who found himself in an animal control facility and due to space he was going to be euthanized. Bear is housebroken, but not a huge fan of his crate. He LOVES his humans and kids. He is a young lab who needs exercise, but settles down nicely. He would love someone who works from home so he isn’t left alone for long days. He knows his basic commands.

Ready for Adoption….Teal 💕

Teal is a gorgeous 7 year old pure bred Lab.
It took her a while to adjust to her foster home, but given time she has blossomed into a great companion. She is a "Velcro Dog" who sticks to her person.
She is housebroken and crate trained, though she doesn't care much for being locked in the crate. And we have found out that she doesn’t need it anyway. She has free run of the house when her foster leaves the house and at night.
She will sleep in her crate all night.
She does exhibit some separation anxiety when left alone. Nothing destructive, but some barking and howling.
Her foster dad feels would do best in a home where someone was home with her most of the time.
Her previous family said that she was terrified of thunderstorms, and I have only had one storm to gauge her response, and yes, she gets very scared in a thunderstorm. So no loud noises like fireworks or hunting for this gal.
Teal has been very well behaved around other dogs. I haven't exposed her to cats, but based on her strong prey drive with the local squirrels and rabbits, I would be very careful introducing her to cats.
It was obvious from the start that Teal had not spent much time on a leash, We have worked on that every day, and she has responded well to training, but will need more work. She really looks forward to her walks.
She's a sweetheart of a dog.

Fosters or Adopters Needed
We are still trying to help Benny (8yo) & Gus (10yo). Both of their owners have cancer and are moving out of the country for medical care. They do not need to go together. Benny would actually be better as an only dog. But Gus would benefit from having a dog friend. Here is more info on them. Please let us know if you’d like a trained best friend. (Gus-green collar)

Ready for adoption…Blackjack aka Cash

This boy was saved from animal control when he was going to be euthanized due to space. He is around 2 years old and just got a clean bill of health from the vet. He LOVES other dogs and humans. He wants to please you so bad and just needs to be shown what is expected of him. He is a young lab so he does have lots of energy, he would love to go to training classes with you, fall hikes, or walks around the neighborhood. He is crate trained and good in the car. This boy deserves his furever home!

🐾Foster or Foster to adopt needed for Coco. 🐾Coco was found by a good samaritan after she was found full of fleas, skinny, and pads raw from running on the pavement for so long. She is around 1-2 years old. She is great with other dogs and cats. She is young and can be jumpy so kids a bit older are preferred. She is super friendly and would love a family of her very own. ♥️ let us know if you are interested so we can get this sweet girl to TLC ASAP!!

Buddy is still waiting for his forever home! He would love to find his forever family and play lots of ball with you this summer.

🐾Not one application for this guy 😢 Buddy is a great boy who deserves a forever home. Help us find his forever home. His foster home recently discovered he LOVES to play fetch with a squeaky ball. Buddy is a 2yo yellow male lab mix who came into rescue about a month ago. He is fully vetted and neutered. Housetrained. He would do best in a home with a fenced in yard or an active lifestyle to give him daily exercise. Another animal companion in the home. A home where the humans are home often either retired, work from home or stay at home. If you are interested in meeting Buddy to see if he is the dog for your family, please apply at www.thelabconnection.org/adopt

Maggie is a sweet 3 yo black lab mix. She is a sweet dog who loves people. She is picking up commands fast and loves walks. She is good for the vet, a bath and nail trims. She is house trained and working on leash manors and jumping. No cats. She needs to find a foster or adopter asap because she thinks the cat in the home is a toy. Who can help?

Charlie is ready for his forever home!!
