LRGR Adoption Stories
Rescue Changed Their Life. Love Changed Everything.
Sometimes the best stories are the ones told by the people living them.

Cedar: The Smart, Silly Soul Who Keeps Us Laughing A bit about our sweet boy. Cedar was born to a dog surrendered to Lab Rescue, who surprise- had puppies on December 27, 2024. We adopted Cedar on February 22, 2025. Turns out Cedar has no lab in him! He is 33% German Shepherd, 32% Beagle, 22% Boxer, and 11% American Pitt. He has the drive and energy and smarts of a German Shepherd, the affection and vocal antics of a Beagle, and silliness of a Boxer. Cedar is highly intelligent, highly emotional and loves people and other dogs. What a combination, he keeps us on our toes! He is easy to train, easy to love and full of surprises. We continue to work on his confidence and independence. Can't wait to see what this year brings! Cedar’s happy ending is what keeps us going — one dog, one family, one beautiful new beginning.
