Why Labs? Because Labs are more often euthanized at shelters! Sure, they're one of America's favorite breeds, but when people adopt a puppy and the dog starts to display that “Lab energy," chews up someone's shoes, or takes up too much time, they sometimes get dumped at a shelter. Some perfectly great dogs end up at shelters because their family moved, had a baby, got divorced, or someone lost their job. There are dozens of sad reasons wonderful pooches can be found at the pound. Most Labs that come to Lucky Lab Rescue & Adoption were at risk of euthanasia, usually because the shelter they were in was overcrowded and the facility kills dogs to make room to take in more. The most popular color of Labs are yellow & chocolate, and sometimes black Labs and Lab mixes are overlooked. Some shelters will automatically euthanize black Labs and mixes. Some Lab rescue organizations are guilty of not accepting black Labs and mixes. Lucky Lab Rescue & Adoption feels very committed to rescuing all Labs and mixes.
