Foster To Adoption!

​What Is Foster-to-Adoption?

Foster-to-adoption gives approved adopters the opportunity to welcome a dog into their home on a trial basis while deciding if it’s the right long-term match. During this period, the dog is still considered "in foster," and our rescue continues to provide support, guidance, and cover approved medical expenses. Once you know it’s love, you complete the adoption!

​

Why Choose Foster-to-Adopt?

  • Save a life: You’re helping a dog leave the shelter or home enviroment and begin their new chapter.

  • No-pressure transition: You and your foster dog have time to adjust and bond before adoption.

  • Support along the way: LRGR covers medical care during the foster period and provides guidance.

  • Matchmaking made easy: See how the dog fits into your home and lifestyle before committing.

​

How It Works

  1. Apply – Submit an adoption application and indicate your interest in foster-to-adopt.

  2. Match – Our team will help match you with a dog who’s a good fit for your home and lifestyle.

Meet Susie

Hi, I’m Susie! I’m a 6-year-old bundle of happiness with a big smile and an even bigger heart. I’m a social butterfly who loves being around people and other dogs—I just enjoy good company! Kids? I think they’re awesome! I love getting attention and making people smile with my outgoing, goofy personality.

I’m what you’d call a “loose and floppy” kind of girl—always relaxed, happy, and ready to play. Toys are my jam, and I never turn down a good game! I’m also a total people-pleaser, so if you give me love, I’ll give it right back.

One thing to know—I need a cat-free home because my prey drive is pretty strong. Oh and I need a fully fenced yard, with a good 4-5’ fence – that’s because I RUN after squirrels. Such good exercise! But if you’re looking for a fun, friendly, and affectionate girl to bring joy into your life, I just might be the perfect match for you!

Copper

Quick Facts:

  • 3 years old | 80 lbs | High energy

  • Dog friendly: Yes – very playful and social

  • Cat friendly: Yes – gentle and curious with cats, doesn’t live with cats

  • Kids: Great with all ages (6 months–13 years)

  • Home needs: Fenced yard required; active home (not suited for apartment living)

Copper is a stunning Fox Red Lab with a big personality and a giant heart. This sweet, social boy loves everyone he meets—men, women, kids, dogs, and even cats! He’s the kind of dog who brings joy wherever he goes, always ready to play, explore, or soak up attention from his people.

Copper is playful, energetic, and happiest when he has space to run and get his zoomies out. He’s currently living in an apartment, which has been tough for such an active dog, and he would truly thrive in a home with a fenced yard where he can stretch his legs and burn off energy. Despite his high energy, Copper has a wonderful temperament—he’s affectionate, eager to please, and loves being part of the family.

He’s already got a great foundation—Copper is fully house trained and crate trained, settling nicely in his crate overnight and during the day. He knows basic commands and is very receptive to learning, especially with consistent guidance. Like many strong, enthusiastic labs, he does pull on the leash and will need continued training using a harness. He may also bark or whine briefly when left alone but settles well once he adjusts.

Copper is being placed as a Foster-to-Adopt (FTA) so that Lab Rescue can bring him up to date on veterinary care, including vaccines and testing. He appears healthy overall but will need routine vetting once in the program. LRGR covers the cost of all necessary veterinary care.

Copper’s ideal home is active, loving, and ready to give him the exercise and structure he’s been missing. With room to run, a consistent routine, and a little patience, Copper is going to blossom into an incredible companion.

If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, and energetic Lab who will keep you smiling, Copper might be your perfect match! 🧡
