Lex has been adopted by Suzanne! He’s the only dog and will have all of her attention. She already has him enrolled in an obedience class and is ready to try scent training to see if that’s something he’ll like.

He settled in quickly and met most of the neighbors and friends in the first 24 hours! Everyone was excited to meet him!

Suzanne brought her dog walker the first time she met Lex. That was a very good idea! They both fell in love with him! It wasn’t until later that I realized her dog walker is the one who started an all volunteer search and rescue group for dogs in my area. She looked familiar 😊. Billy’s Posse has grown and she’s still running it with the help of many people. I’ve been following them on FB since they started.

Thank you to Michelle for transporting Lex, his brother and Oscar, Mary Lynn for coordinating, Karen for helping us find the right families for our fosters and everyone else involved!

Luther, the little lab mix puppy had been adopted by Dan and Carrie and their two kids! He has a new canine brother Axel. They started to play right away and the stars lined up immediately.
Luther came to us a little unsure, but he quickly blossomed with love and stability. He is such a sweetheart, we couldn’t be happier for him that he found such a perfect home!

We miss him but are grateful to L.E.A.R.N. for rescuing Luther and his brother Lex and turning their young lives in the right direction. Thank you to Karen also for the perfect match!

Here are some pictures of him in his new home, enjoying his new surroundings! He even got a pup cup on his ride home! 💙 Congratulations Carrie, Dan, kids and Luther! (now Leo)!

Hi! I’m Buddy, a goofy, good-looking, chocolate Lab—about 9 months old—and on the hunt for my forever family!

I’m your classic Lab puppy: snuggly, silly, and VERY food-motivated. I absolutely love water, and I get along great with other dogs. Meeting new people is my jam, and I’m super curious about birds, rabbits, and even chickens… but I try my best to keep my manners in check!

When I first arrived, I was pretty wild—think enthusiastic gate-jumper, counter-surfer, and full-body-hugger. The crate was definitely not my favorite place either. But I’ve spent the last couple of weeks with an amazing trainer who’s been helping me learn manners, confidence, and crate skills. And guess what? I’m doing REALLY well now! I'm so smart that a little training goes a long way! Plus, my potty training has been perfect.

I’d love a fenced yard for my zoomies, but I’d also be happy with daily walks and some fenced-in playdates to burn off my puppy energy.

If you’re looking for a fun-loving, loyal sidekick who brings equal parts cuddles and adorable chaos, I just might be your guy.

Hi everyone, my name is Marley. I’m a 50-lb, 2-year-old spayed female lab mix. I came from a high-kill shelter in Louisiana after my previous owner could no longer care for me, and I’m now learning what it means to feel safe, loved, and part of a family.

My foster mom says I am one of the sweetest girls you’ll ever meet. I can be a little timid with new people at first, but with a calm approach and a few treats, I warm up and show my gentle, loving personality.

I currently live with a foster sister dog and a foster brother cat. I get along very well with my foster sister; I was a little unsure at first, but with slow introduction, I opened up and became comfortable. I don’t mind the cat either, though if he starts running, I will chase him out of curiosity.

I know sit and shake, and I’m working on stay, wait, off, and better leash-walking skills. My foster mom and I are still learning how to signal potty time, but when my foster sister goes, I go too, just to be safe – no accidents so far. At night I sleep quietly in my kennel, and during the day if I’m kenneled while my foster mom runs errands, I might bark a bit at first but settle down quickly - frozen peanut-butter Kongs are my favorite distraction. I enjoy car rides, playing ball, exploring the yard, and relaxing with toys.

I’m a loyal companion who loves to follow my person around the house and curl up next to them on the couch. I’ve truly enjoyed my time in my foster home, but I’m ready for my forever family.

It's not a requirement, but I would love a home with a fenced-in yard so I can play and stretch my legs, and an active family who will enjoy spending time with me and will let me snuggle with them after a fun, busy day. I can’t wait to meet the people who will give me a lifetime of love.

Just checking in with an update on Odin, who is now 10 days post-neuter surgery and feeling fantastic! He has settled nicely into home life, and we've discovered he is truly the biggest, sweetest teddy bear you could ever hope to meet. He’s really warmed up to his human foster family, preferring their company more and more over his crate, which is a testament to the deep bond he is ready to form with his permanent family. Weighing in at 75 lbs. (while he could gain a few more), Odin is a gentle giant who is docile and affectionate, with a special talent for cuddling. He’s a smart boy who is house-trained and well mannered—he responds reliably to basic commands. He is polite with all new encounters, showing an initial sweet shyness that quickly fades as he realizes you're a friend. He seldom barks unless he's inviting the neighborhood pups to a friendly chat. Odin really enjoys walks and playdates! He plays wonderfully with others, adjusting his play style to match his companions' energy. This happy boy loves to run, chase, and show off his reliable recall. Odin is ready to share his big heart with a loving family. This sweet boy would love to be the loyal companion to a young person or adult who is, like Odin, equal parts active and able to relax. He’s looking for someone who enjoys outdoor recreation like hiking and camping, but values a cozy evening on the couch just as much! He would also thrive with a canine companion. He’s a big dog with a big heart, ready to offer unconditional love and dependable companionship.

Hi everyone! I'm Tess, an 11 month old female black Lab who came from Louisiana after I was found running stray. At only 43 pounds my foster mom says I'm a "pocket lab". I've got all the great Labrador characteristics, just in a smaller package. I've only been in Wisconsin for a few days, but I've settled into my foster home very quickly.

I'm a sweet, happy, go-with-the-flow kind of girl. If you're relaxing I'll lay on the floor near you, but if you're up doing things I'll gladly tag-along. I rolled over on my back when I met my foster sisters and after a few seconds of sniffing each other we were off to the races playing chase and sharing toys. I love to play with them, but I listen when they tell me I'm being too rambunctious. I'm not living with any cats right now, so I'm not sure how I would react to one. I do like to chase squirrels in the yard though.

I walk well on leash with a no-pull harness. I sleep through the night in my crate without making a sound. I had a couple accidents on my first day at my foster home, but I'm doing much better now that I know where the door is and I'm getting on a schedule. I know what it means when you tell me to "go potty." I do jump when I get excited, but if you put your knee up and say "off" I'll stop. I know "sit" and am working on sitting before I go through doors and before I get my meals.

My other typical lab puppy habit is shredding toys, but I can easily be redirected to a different toy when my foster parents take away the one I'm shredding. I love to chew, so I'll need lots of sturdy toys.

Speaking of things I love... I LOOOVE to eat! I get so excited at meal time. I eat from a slow feeder bowl and prance in circles around the bowl while I try to get the kibble out of the tracks. Even though I get three square meals, I do still occasionally cruise the kitchen counter or the trash can for more snacks. I listen when foster mom and dad tell me "off" or "leave it."

Overall I'm quite the catch! I'm a smart girl who is quick to learn new things. With a little polishing of my manners I'll be a perfect companion. I'd love to go to puppy training classes with you. I'd be good at agility or nose games, too. I love to run, so a fenced yard would be great. Another dog friend to play with would be awesome, but I'd also do well as an only dog.

I'll be back with more updates, but in the meantime get your application in if you think I might be a good fit for you!

MEDICAL HOLD

Hi there, I’m Belle!

I’m a 7½-year-old yellow Labrador with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging! I adore people and think attention is the best thing ever — I might be a little pushy about it, but I’m learning to be polite.

I'm house broken and like to sleep on the couch or the bed. My foster parents were a little surprised at my ability to spring onto the bed with my bad knee!

I love walks, playing with my foster brother, and snuggling up with my foster family. I do have a torn ACL (ouch!), so I’ll be having surgery soon, but I’m already practicing nose work to keep my brain busy while I rest my leg. It’s actually really fun — I’m kind of a detective now!

Speaking of detecting, I'm an expert at detecting food. Which sometimes means I check the kitchen counter for food. I'm working on it but it's a thing for now.

When I’m all healed up, I’ll need continued physical therapy and lots of love. I’d enjoy a home where someone’s around to give me attention (and belly rubs, obviously). I like other dogs and could happily live with one — or I’d be perfectly content as your one-and-only best friend.

If you’re looking for a loyal cuddle buddy who’ll keep you smiling every day, I think we’d make a great team.

Stay tuned for more updates...

Love,
Belle
