My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Up for adoption in Texas and New England: Archie.

Archie is approximately two years old and weighs 70 pounds.

He is goofy, funny, and a lovebug.

Archie enjoys playing in the backyard, going on walks and loves car rides.

In his foster home, Archie loves everyone he meets and is excited to be petted. He is a typical Labby-like dog with lots of energy, and he needs an active family to take him along for the activities.

Archie is excited to play with toys but enjoys spending time with his humans even more. He loves to get on the couch or bed with you and cuddle with his head on your shoulder. He gives great hugs.

He knows to sit and is pretty good at fetch, but he’s still young and much more interested in running around and playing on his terms—except when going for a walk with his human. He gets so excited smelling, checking out the world, and spending time with his people.

Archie is good with large and small dogs, as well as cats, in his foster home. He likes to make it a race to see who can get out the back door faster, but it's only to play and have fun. Archie is crate-trained, but it is not his favorite place to be.

He is fully vaccinated, neutered, and ready for an active, fun family to spend his forever.

More about this rescue

When lucky Labs come into Lucky Lab Rescue, they are immediately vetted with vaccinations, spayed or neutered, heartworm tested and wormed for internal parasites. All dogs receive complete veterinary care before they are adopted out. Also at Lucky Lab Rescue, each dog is temperament tested and evaluated for any signs of aggression and for activity level. Since our goal is to place our Labs in forever homes, it is important to know the general personality of each Lab, as we want to match potential adopters with dogs that would be the best possible fit for a successful adoption.

Most Labs that come into Lucky Lab Rescue are from shelters. Most are at risk of euthanasia, usually due to overcrowded shelters. Labs are one of the most popular breeds of dogs due to their loyal and family-oriented personalities. Labs are also one of the most overbred breeds and are the number one breed to be found in shelters. They also have one of the highest euthanasia rates. Some find it difficult that rescues can be breed specific, however, Lucky Lab Rescue and other Lab rescues make a huge impact on euthanasia rates just by rescuing Labs and Lab mixes alone.

The most popular color of Labs are yellow and chocolate. They tend to get rescued and adopted more often than black labs. Some shelters will automatically euthanize black Labs and some rescue organizations will accept the yellow and chocolate over the black Lab. We at Lucky Labs love our yellows and chocolates, but also feel very committed to rescuing black Labs due to their plight.

"The plight of the black dog refers to the low adoption rate and high
euthanization rate of black dogs in shelters. Black dogs are often
the last to be adopted from an animal shelter. You may not be
aware of how doomed black dogs are when they are brought
to the average animal shelter. Black dogs, particularly large
black dogs like Labradors or Lab mixes,have a very difficult
time getting adopted, and are euthanized at a staggering rate at
many animal control facilities throughout the country. The sad truth is, they are overlooked in favor of lighter colored dogs."
