Black Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

******Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************

We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog.


Meet Poppy!

Poppy is a five year old black and white Lab mix with the sweetest soul and a heart of gold. Weighing about 65 pounds, she’s the perfect cuddle companion, complete with a snowy white chest, matching paws, and the most adorable perky black ears. She truly loves everyone she meets and happily leans in for affection especially tummy rubs and chin scratches.

She’s a social butterfly with other dogs and has played beautifully with pups of all sizes. For some reason, little dogs are her absolute favorite! On neighborhood walks, she may let out an excited whine when she spots a potential new friend. Squirrels and kitties are fascinating too, so she can pull a bit on leash when they are nearby. We’re unsure how she’d do living with a cat, but her interest seems playful and curious.

Poppy already knows how to sit and give a paw, and she does well in a crate. She’s very food-motivated, which makes learning new skills extra fun and proof that even a middle aged dog can master new tricks! With a little continued guidance and some yummy motivators, she’s so eager to please and learn.

When it’s playtime, Poppy lights up for a fresh tennis ball. She’ll happily play fetch until she’s ready to flop down and chew her prize. She adores squeaky toys and has the funniest habit of collecting shoes and gently carrying them to her bed (don’t worry—she never chews them!). Every now and then, she’ll surprise you with joyful zoomies that are guaranteed to make you smile.

At home, Poppy is mellow, patient, and wonderfully gentle even with a baby. She’s content to snooze, window-watch, and wait politely for the next potty or play break. Because she needs regular potty trips, she’d do best with a doggy door or humans who are home most of the day. She’s happy to cuddle up in bed at night or sleep in her own cozy spot.

Poppy is currently in a foster home in Houston, TX and can travel to an approved adopter. All she needs is a loving family, a few treats, and a soft place to land and she’ll fill her forever home with warmth, loyalty, and endless tail wags.
