Story
Lucky Lab Rescue Attachments Nov 1, 2024, 2:53 PM (2 days ago) to Cindy, Julie, 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!

Story
Meet Cinderella (aka Bella), available for adoption in New England and The Midwest! This petite princess weighs just 42 lbs and is around 3-4 years old, but her personality is larger than life! Bella adores people and is happiest when she’s snuggled up with her favorite humans. She’s good with other dogs but dreams of a castle (or couch!) to call her very own. Bella’s a quick learner who knows basic commands, is completely house trained, and walks wonderfully on a leash. She’s also a big fan of car rides, making her the perfect adventure buddy! While she loves treats, Bella hasn’t quite figured out the magic of toys or balls yet — but who needs toys when you have snuggles, right? Bella is up to date on all vaccinations, preventatives, and is microchipped. This little survivor came to us pregnant and heartworm positive, but after raising her pups (who’ve all found their forever homes) and completing her heartworm treatment, Bella is ready for her happily-ever-after. Could it be with you? Apply to adopt sweet Cinderella at www.luckylabrescue.com.

Story
Zeus was born in my home on July 23rd, 2023. He was under someone else’s care from 4mo old to 8mo old. He unfortunately killed my small senior mutt in a freak accident. He is such a sweet and loving boy that is good with his pack of dogs and kitties but unsure if he is friendly with other dogs or children. He really does deserve a second chance at having a good life. It just hurts me to see him anymore and I am also pregnant with my first child.

Story
Ozzy is a male Mini Australian Shephard and Husky mix. He is 3 years old and has grown up with our 2 year old son and 1 year old daughter. He is amazing with kids and gets along with all guests that we have. We have a cat and another dog that he has also been attached to and done amazing with. We hate to have to rehome him however we have another baby on the way and our time to give him the exercise, grooming and care he needs is dwindling. We would love and prefer for him to go somewhere where he has land to run and other dogs and people that have the time and resources to give him the care he deserves. He does great staying around and listens well and is house trained and is primarily inside dog that goes outside when needed. Any questions please send them our way. He is up to date on all vaccinations and rabies shots and has also had a well checkup less than a month ago and is in great health.
