Experience an Incredible Journey with Wild Labradors

At Wild Labradors, we believe dogs thrive in real homes-not kennels. 

 

Our Foster Program invites select families to become Guardians – caring for one of our adult Labradors during their breeding years in a structured, supportive partnership. 

 

Whether short-term or long-term, you’ll be helping us raise well-socialized, confident dogs in the most loving way possible.

 

You provide the home and daily care- we provide the dog, structure, and an incentive for each successful litter.

Considering Adopting an Adult English Labrador?

Our Retired Mama Labradors bring something Truly Magical into a home—a nurturing, motherly vibe that’s hard to find.

They’ve spent years caring, loving, and guiding, and now they’re ready to pour all that affection into a forever family.

Yes, they may need a little guidance to adjust to household life, but here’s the payoff: You’ll be getting a dog who’s not just loyal but downright devoted!

These ladies have a way of becoming your shadow, always ready to please, comfort, and bring calm to any room.

If you’re looking for a true companion with a heart as big as her paws, one of our retired Adult English Labradors might be exactly what your home is missing!

How Our Adult Adoption Program Works

We place our retiring moms into loving homes through a trial-based process to ensure the best fit; for both you and the dog.

 

Here’s how it works:

  1. Apply Online:
    Submit your application so we can get to know your lifestyle and preferences.

  2. Start a Trial:
    If we believe it’s a good match, we’ll offer a 1-week trial, which can be extended up to 30 days.

  3. Finalize the Adoption:
    If it feels right, we’ll transfer ownership, provide vet records, and walk you through next steps.

Spay Policy:
Our Adult English Labradors must be spayed within 6 months of placement (or earlier if your vet recommends). Because these girls are often placed shortly after maternity, we leave the spay timing up to your vet to ensure their safe recovery. You’ll cover the cost, but we’ll guide you through the timing and vet notes.

We do not place based on first-come-first-serve. Our goal is always the right fit for each individual dog.

Referral Incentive Program

Do you know someone who would love to join our fostering program and provide a loving home to one of our exceptional Labradors? If so, you can help us expand our community while earning a reward for your recommendation!
  1. Refer a Family: Share our fostering program with friends or family who might be interested.
  2. Application and Approval: The referred family must successfully complete our application process, be approved, and officially join our program.
  3. Dog Placement: Once the referred family is paired with one of our breeding Labradors, they’ll begin fostering.
  4. First Litter Milestone: After the first litter is born in their care (minimum of three salable puppies) and those puppies go home to their new families, we’ll send you a one-time $500 compensation as a thank-you for your referral.

Important Details:

  • The referred family must meet all fostering requirements and be a good fit for our program.
  • The compensation will only be issued after the dog successfully produces a litter of at least three salable puppies while under the referred family’s care.
  • Payment is processed once the puppies from that litter go home to their new owners.
  • This is a one-time payment per referred family.

How to Refer a Family:

  1. Direct them to our fostering page and encourage them to fill out our application form.
  2. Ensure they mention your name as the referring family during the application process.
  3. Stay in touch—we’ll update you on their progress through the program!   By participating, you’re not only helping us expand our network of caring foster families, but you’re also contributing to the success and well-being of our Labradors. Thank you for being part of our journey!
