Meet Yellow, a handsome Lab mix who found himself at risk in a municipal shelter in Alabama. Thankfully, he made his way into rescue and now has the chance to find the loving home he deserves. With his sweet face and lovable Lab-mix charm, Yellow is ready to leave his shelter days behind and start a new chapter. He’s the kind of boy who just needs someone to give him a chance and show him how wonderful life can be. We can’t change the way Yellow’s story started, but we can make sure the rest of it is filled with love, safety, and a family of his own. An adoption bio is only a snapshot of who an animal is. For more information about Yellow, including his personality, needs, and what type of home may be the best fit, please reach out to our Adoptions Team. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Interested in fostering or adopting? Need more info on this dog?

🧠 Temperament
Thankfully, he made his way into rescue and now has the chance to find the loving home he deserves. Friendly, people-focused and famously food-motivated, which makes training straightforward.
🎾 Exercise
High needs — 60-90 minutes daily. Labs love retrieving and swimming, and an under-exercised Lab tends to get mouthy and destructive.
✂️ Grooming
Short double coat that sheds heavily year-round and more in spring and fall. Weekly brushing helps a lot.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
Can do well in an apartment if genuinely exercised. Size and shedding are the main constraints; most are elevator- and crowd-tolerant.
