Labrador Retreiver Rescue, Inc. 978-356-2982

Most senior Labs are calm, well-adjusted companion dogs. Seniors don't demand constant attention and do not require intense exercise. Common obedience and behavior problems have been resolved. They usually settle into new homes quite readily. These sweet old dogs usually have plenty of life left!

Please consider a senior Lab if you re looking for a quiet, easygoing companion dog that does not require a lot of exercise.

Midnight (now dubbed Middy) came to me and my other adopted dog of 9 years in July of 2001. I had my name with Lab Rescue for a couple of months, had already had the home visit and was ready to adopt. My 9+ year old Lab cross, ResQ, had a roommate for the last year and she was missing the canine company upon that dog's departure.

I got the urgent call for an older Lab, 10 years of age, one Thursday night. While I had agreed an older dog would be ok, I was a little concerned that Middy was 10, knowing the problems that older large breeds can have. I should not have been!! Middy is a 75-lb very energetic senior in great health and a self-proclaimed lap dog. I could not believe this dog was 10 even after reading his papers. No gray hairs and a never ending love of the ball. Although Mid was only supposed to be on trial for the weekend, I had ordered him his brand new monogrammed dog bed an hour after having him home. He had so completely won me over—sleeping in the car on the trip home from picking him up and immediately playing with ResQ. The day after I got him, I was outside gardening. I turned around to see Middy, who had slipped ever so quietly into the pool from the shallow end, swimming laps in the cool water. I almost fell down laughing. This dog was happy and so was I!

Middy and ResQ are good pals, as you can see by the pictures. Someone said it is like Mutt & Jeff and that is a great description. The big one and the little one with their black coats, red collars and tennis ball filled mouths pleading for a game!

Thanks to Lab Rescue for helping ResQ and I find our wonderful new family member.
