Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Springfield, Vermont

Please share. We are hoping to find placements for these two amazing dogs, who were rescued from a home with 178 dogs back in February.


Two sweet girls are looking for a Vermont-only foster or adopter so they can begin heartworm treatment on May 13th and recover outside of the shelter environment.

Hazel (estimated 2–4 years old)
Hazel loves playing with other dogs and would thrive in a home with a canine playmate. She can be a little reserved at first, but since arriving at the shelter in February, she has become much more social and confident. With a little patience and love, Hazel really shines.

Emmie (estimated 3–4 years old)
Emmie is incredibly social and absolutely adores everyone she meets. She does well with other dogs, though she prefers calmer companions over rough-and-tumble playmates. She’s affectionate, friendly, and eager to make new friends wherever she goes.

Both girls need a Vermont-based foster or adopter so they can safely complete heartworm treatment and recovery in a loving home. If you’ve been considering opening your home to a dog in need, this is a chance to make a life-changing difference.

Please reach out if you’re interested in fostering or adopting Hazel or Emmie.
