My older pup recently passed. I’m thinking about adopting/rescuing an older purebred dog — I don’t have the energy for a puppy these days. I love Labs but am open to other large breeds. But how can you find an older purebred that’s up for adoption?

I’m really sorry to hear about the passing of your older pup.
There are usually many older purebred dogs needing a home in local rescue shelters. If you haven’t had any luck in local rescues, try contacting the Labrador Club of America. They work with rescue centers nationwide to help Labs find new homes, and they have a helpful rescue group directory to help you find a local Labrador-focused rescue organization. The same goes for other large breeds that you’re interested in. Find their breed parent group, which usually has a rescue page or list of contacts that can help you find a dog in need.
We wish you the best in your search!
