Labrador Retriever puppies and dogs in Franklin, Wisconsin

Bristol is a 1-year-old, 44-pound, lab mix. She is super sweet & loves affection, especially belly rubs. Bristol was found as a stray on the streets of Texas & was in a shutdown state when she arrived at the Texas shelter. After about a week, her true self came out & she loved playing with the other dogs. She likes tug toys & squeakers. She will need someone patient enough to let her slowly come out of her shell. She would be too scared of small, unpredictable children & would love a home with another medium energy dog to play with.DATCP#483538

Jessica Jones here though you can call me Jess. I’m a 2-year-old lab mix weighing about 60 lbs. I’m the perfect size not too big & not too small. I was found as a stray in Texas & have been blessed to come to Wisconsin to find my furever home. I’m spayed & microchipped. I’m a beautiful, sweet, calm, shy girl who loves other doggies. I’ll bow, wiggle my butt, & bop other doggies to get them to play with me. I play with dogs my size & even bigger. I love to play chase with other dogs, too, or my humans. I really enjoy toys that make sounds like squeaky toys & stuffed animals those are both my favorites. I’ll chew on nylabones, too. I’m shy & timid though friendly to all people. I adore children & I’m gentle with them. I crave attention, just wanting pets & cuddles. I need positive reinforcement & a patient family to help boost my confidence. I just want to please my humans. I’m crate trained & go in my crate when my humans are gone & other times for a nap to relax. At night I have free reign & usually sleep by the other doggies in the house or my humans.I’m learning commands like sit and shake. I’m doing well with house training, too. I like to go for walks a day am doing well on a leash. I am food motivated which helps with learning. I don’t bark much at all. I look forward to meeting you. Please help me find my furever home!DATCP#483538

Hey there, I'm Dijon! I'm a curious, smart, and energetic fellow. I love a good snuggle and I basically check all the boxes - or so foster dad says. I love humans of all ages, playing with other dogs is one of my favorite activities, foster dad says I have great recall, and I’m kind of the best co-pilot there ever was. I’m a great traveler and won’t complain about your music choice or bad singing. Sometimes when I get bored I can get a little mouthy, I’m only trying to get foster dad’s attention to tell him to play with me. Keeping me mentally and physically stimulated is key to making sure I don’t get bored! While I’m really enjoying my time and am grateful for all the things I’ve learned in my foster home - I’m looking for a family to call my own. I promise to fill your life with adventure and endless cuddles. Dijon is both potty trained and crate trained. He's good with children and other dogs. He hasn't been tested around cats.  Animal is Fostered in: Milwaukee, WI For more information, or to apply for adoption, visit our website at: www.RescueOutreach.com Please note the following will be performed on all animals prior to adoption: Microchip Spay/Neuter (unless medically unable at time of adoption, in which case this will be discussed) Heartworm Testing (dogs);    FELV/FIV Testing (cats) Age appropriate CORE vaccines.  Dhpp, Rabies (if old enough)-dog;  CVR, Rabies (if old enough) - cat  - WE DO NOT ADMINISTER BORDETELLA unless indicated.   PLEASE NOTE- puppies and kittens may need to complete vaccination schedule depending on age at time of adoption.   Dewormed All breeds are best guess from veterinarian based on physical exam.  All animals come from high kill shelters with poor access to resources.  Once they arrive to our rescue they are quarantined for health purposes and spoiled in loving foster homes until their forever home is found!  Our organization is operated 100% by volunteers who give their time and love out of the goodness of their hearts.   ##2054186##

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.  10/13/2024 I've been in my foster home for three weeks.  You know in the application LEARN mentions that it can take time for us to get comfortable and acclimate?  That's true.  I am really starting to get comfortable and follow routines.  I am learning manners like to sit when I get fed, sit when I get a treat, sit when I am getting more water.  I am taking treats gently (if you remind me).  I don't have any guarding behavior with food or toys. I still like chewing and I have figured out that if you work at it hard enough you can get those squeaky toys to stop squeaking.  I work really hard at getting the squeaker out and the stuffing too.  I got my first squeaker out today and even though my foster mom is trying to teach me to "leave it" I really, really don't want to leave it.  But I will let you take it from my mouth without any issue.   I am still trying to get my foster people to understand my communication. Sometimes they get it and sometimes they don't. If I toss my water bowl, it's because it's empty and I am thirsty.  If I walk into the room and then walk out of the room, I am telling them that I want to go out potty.  They still have me using a belly band because sometimes I don't give them enough warning, but I am doing so much better.  I understand the word "potty" and when they ask if I want to go potty, I go right to the back door.   As long as I am not distracted, I will go potty right away.  Sometimes reminding me why we are outside is helpful.   I still sleep in the crate at night.  It doesn't bother me at all.  My foster people toss a couple of treats into the crate, and I go right in and settle down, as long as everyone else goes to bed too.  I don't like hearing/seeing that other people are still awake if I have to go to sleep.  My bedtime is around 10:00 but I often fall asleep before then.  You will see in my picture that I have just discovered the couch.  I am snuggled up next to my foster dad.  He falls asleep on the couch too. So yeah.  I just wanted to take some time to let you know that I am still available and how well I am doing.  I am a sweet, sweet boy (I give great kisses) and I am smart.  I will make a great a pet to a very deserving family.   10/9/2024  So, guess what??  I went to doggie daycare today!!!  I was given an assessment and passed with FLYING COLORS!!  I knew I was a good boy. I interacted with new people and new dogs.  I had a few dogs that they say were my best friends today: Pippin, Josette, Beau, Reese, Arnie, Sadie and Owen.  I played with them all and I played nicely. My favorite activities were wrestling with my friends, cuddling with the daycare attendant, cuddling with friends, playing tag, giving kisses, being a social butterfly, running laps and belly rubs/back scratches.  The daycare attendants described me as being playful, happy, energetic and the life of the party (of course, you can see how handsome I am). I am going to go back to daycare tomorrow because it helps me with socialization and it helps expend my energy.  Oh, one more thing.  I rode in the car today without a kennel.  I was in the back of the SUV and I did such a good job!  I laid right down and only stood up one or two times when we stopped.  I can jump in and out of the car all by myself.  I'm not very big but my foster mom appreciated not having to pick me up. That's all for today.  Have a nice night.  I will be snoring very, very soon! 10/8/2024 - UPDATE - I'M READY TO FIND MY FOREVER HOME I had my neuter and that was pretty uneventful.  It has been really tough being cooped up, but I haven't bothered my sutures at all. I am sweet boy who needs someone active and attentive. I have a lot of energy and need an outlet to expend that energy, or I will chew on things.  Even things I am not supposed to chew on.  I like to play ball, and I love when my people stuff my Kong.  It keeps my mind and body engaged and that helps.  So does tug.  Anything that allows me to exercise my jaw helps keep me from chewing things I shouldn't chew.  I can't help it.  I'm a puppy and I'm still learning. I sleep in my kennel all night.  I settle in quietly but usually need to be let out once during the night because I can't quite hold it all night yet.  But I am quick to take care of business and go right back to sleep in my kennel.   Potty training is still a work in progress.  I wear a belly band during the day when I have access to the living room (carpet).  I don't ask to go out potty, but I do have behaviors that tell you I have to go potty as long as you are paying attention. I know to go potty outside and praise helps.  I want to be a good boy, and I like being told that I am a good boy. If you are looking for a very young, active, sweet, goofy boy who can be the center of your attention, then look no further.  I am just the guy for you! Neuter Scheduled 10/4/2024 Hi there! My name is Hulk although I am not quite sure how I got that name. I'm not big, muscular nor do I have anger management issues. I am a sweet boy who was an owner surrender to Anti-Cruelty in Chicago. That wasn't working out for me. I was so scared they had to give me medication to help me cope. Luckily LEARN pulled me and now I'm in a home where I can get the attention I crave. I am a fast learner, and I am quickly learning how to tell people I need to outside to go potty. I sit for treats, but I have a hard time sitting when I get fed or when the leash gets put on. It takes too long and sometimes I help with the leash by carrying it in my mouth hoping that will help get it on faster. I love walks and I actually do decently when I am wearing a harness. There are so many things to sniff, and I really like sniffing. I love all people, but it can sometimes take me a minute or two to warm up, so it takes me a bit to approach you. Once I know you though, I love you. I try so hard not to jump and if you remind me then I will stop. I love toys, I love to play fetch but most of all I love being around my people. Oh, and my favorite thing to hear is that I am a good boy. My whole body just melts and if I have the opportunity to sneak in a kiss I will. Did you know that dogs can smile? I smile every once in a while and I think I am pretty cute when I do it. I do live with one resident dog and sometimes I want to play rough, and he doesn't like it too much. So, our play time is supervised and restricted. I also live with two cats. I am curious and one swiped at me on my very first day, that was a little surprising. They have places to run to get away from me so I haven't gotten to actually "meet" them yet. For some reason I think they prefer it that way. I am on medical hold until I have a chance to heal from my neuter scheduled for October 4th. If you are looking for a handsome young Lab like me, get your application in pronto! Or, if you are an approved adopter, please email labmatch@labadoption.org. I hope I get some interest; I would love to find my forever home!
