ADULT LABRADOR RETRIEVER FOR ADOPTION ONTARIO

**UPDATE MARCH 4/24**

We have some adult females available. We have two 5 year old females who are retiring from breeding and one 3 year old who we have been working with on her training after taking her back. When applying for them please elaborate on the answers in the application in terms of adopting an adult and not a puppy. 

We are expecting to retire one female chocolate lab this winter/spring of 2024. We also expect to have a female ready to retire this summer and possibly a young male if he doesn’t mate (he is smaller and we are worried about his ability to mount the females). We do not keep a waiting list for adults so please watch the Facebook page. We also are responsible for rehoming all of the dogs we breed, so if one of our past clients runs into a situation where they can no longer support their dog, we will assist in rehoming them also through our Facebook page. You can find us here.

On occasion we will have an adult Labrador Retriever who is going to be retiring from breeding that will be placed into a forever home. When our chocolate labs are ready to retire from breeding, they are in the area of 4 or 5 years old. Once we make a decision to retire a dog from our breeding program, and if we don’t have the space to keep it with us details of the adoption will be placed here on the website and also announced on our Facebook page. At that point you are invited to send us an application from our contact us page being sure to indicate in the comments which dog you are interested in. Many of our Labrador Retrievers live a full life between twelve and fifteen years old. Please also check our Breeder Available Puppies page for a current listing of Labrador puppies for sale.

DAHLIA HAS BEEN PLACED THANK YOU

We have a Beautiful Adult 3 yr old. Female Chocolate Lab who has never been bred and is ready now. She is very willing and eager to please, will show her belly to strangers and would be a submissive female should you have another dog at home to introduce her to. Although Dahlia has spent much of her time outside, her house training is under way and should be easy to finish. She also responds well to some obedience training commands and is progressing nicely on the leash. The perfect family for her would be one with the time to spend with her, one who loves doggie cuddles and one who has the time and desire for daily exercise. For more information and pictures please apply using the link on the right. She is up to date on all shots. 

SAFFRON HAS BEEN PLACED THANK YOU. We have a second beautiful 5 year old Female Adult Chocolate Lab. Saffron has birthed some outstanding puppies and is ready for her vacation home! She is available for a  donation to our local shelter and a donation to our PTSD Service dog program along with a commitment to spay. 

How it Works

When we place a retiring dog into a home we make a donation to the Wallaceburg Animal Shelter of 100% of the proceeds to spend as they see fit. We do our part to keep dogs out of shelters by requiring non breeding agreements, scanning our clients for suitability, taking dogs back from people who have run into an unfortunate circumstance and contributing financially to the local shelter.
We discourage people from buying a Labrador Retriever from back yard breeders as it is irresponsible breeders who don’t perform eye, hip and elbow clearances or conduct any genetic testing prior to breeding, they often don’t look into the background of the dogs they are using to ensure there is no recent relation of the male to the female or they don’t screen their clients properly for suitability. This can result in people changing their mind and wanting to place their dog into a shelter, or even wrong people getting a Lab when they really aren’t set up to have a pet or maybe they can’t make the commitment for the lifetime of the dog.
We also accept a donation for our PTSD Service Dog program for Veterans and first responders.
