Once approved, you can request to met a specific dog you see on our website, but there are often several families interested in the same dog. A dog you have your heart set on when you applied may have been adopted before you are approved. We will not hold a dog for you while you are completing the application approval process. New Labs arrive almost every week. In some cases, the Lab you want to meet may not have the personality you need, and if that is the case, we will tell you why and encourage you to keep looking. Our foster families know our dogs better than anyone and will provide insight into what environment is best for their foster dog. Just because a particular dog is not the best match for you or your family does NOT mean you won’t provide a great home for the right dog.

Remember, adopting a dog is a lifelong commitment. If you question whether you can make such a commitment, please stop here. Our rescues have often had a difficult life, so when we place a LOLIN dog in a home, we want it to be their forever home.
