My personality

My story

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

Available in New England and the Midwest: Cupcake, your future best friend!

Introducing Cupcake, the 1-2 year old sweet soul who is ready to fill your home with love and joy! Rescued by Lucky Lab as one of twelve dogs in need, Cupcake may not look like a traditional lab, but her heart is as big as any. This special girl was given a second chance, and she’s excited to find her forever home.

In her foster home, Cupcake has thrived. She’s learned what it means to be loved and to feel the warmth of a caring environment. Her past may have left her with some cuts and boo-boos, but those are healing, and she’s ready to move forward with her new life. With each passing day, she’s growing stronger and more vibrant.

Cupcake loves her daily walks and has mastered leash etiquette, making her an excellent companion for outdoor adventures. She’s incredibly social, getting along wonderfully with both humans and other dogs. In fact, she has a blast playing with her foster dog sister, showcasing her playful spirit and friendly nature.

While Cupcake is house trained and learning to embrace new experiences, she may still need a little support in unfamiliar situations. Loud noises can be a bit overwhelming for her, but with patience and love, she’s ready to become the sidekick you’ve been searching for. Having been a momma in her past life, Cupcake is now looking for a family who can continue to nurture her and help her enjoy being just a dog.

Cupcake is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and is on preventatives.

If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this sweet girl, Cupcake is waiting for you to make her dreams come true! Put in an application at www.luckylabrescue.com and discover the joy she will bring to your life!

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."
