Olive (Countess)

Today we said goodbye to our sweet Olive! (Formerly Countess) She crossed the biggest and brightest Rainbow Bridge . It’s hard to put into words right now. The last month has been a whirlwind. With a very unexpected diagnosis of an aggressive form of cancer which...

Cameron

With great sadness I have to report that “Cam” was put to sleep on Wed.  I adopted him in 2010 from your group and he has been with me 12+ years as a loyal, loving companion.  It is so hard to let them go, especially when they were such a great...

Georgia

In late April, Miss Georgia passed away in the arms of her family. We added Georgia to our family a little over a year and specifically wanted a senior. Those who own labs know they never fully age and never stay out of trouble. In the time we had her we had so many...

Sadie Jo

Today, surrounded by her family at her favorite spot at home, Sadie Jo (Savannah) crossed the rainbow bridge.  We consider it very lucky to have been given what feels like a bonus six months with following her osteosarcoma diagnosis back in October 2021. ...

Gertie

Donner

Last Tuesday my beloved Donner passed over the Rainbow bridge. What I thought was an orthopedic issue turned out to be a tumor in his right shoulder. He was one of the best dogs ever, and I am incredibly lucky that he was part of my life. We had four years and a...

Chloe

Yesterday, our sweet Chloe crossed over the rainbow bridge. She joined our family 8 years ago after we saw her picture and story on the LFS Facebook page. What caught our eye was how much she looked like our dog Kaiah and they had the same birthday. We later found out...

Jake

I just wanted to take a minute to reach out and let you all know that we said goodbye to Jake after the first of the year. He was doing pretty well through Christmas, but the tumors started erupting very quickly and not healing after the holidays. He really was the...

Isla

Almost 14 years ago, I adopted Isla (previously Athena) from Lab Friends. She was my first dog, and she couldn’t have been better. I literally had no idea what I was doing when I adopted her. I went to one of your adoption days to meet one very specific older dog from...

Caley (Casey)

Over the years, she helped bring other rescued family members into the pack and show them the ropes. We remember her daily.  She was such a great family member.  Her nickname was “Cookie Monster” as she never let us  forget it was meal...
