This Month's Contestants

Jonas

Jonas

The Netherlands

Jonas was born on December 16, 2024, one day before my Labrador, Oscar, passed away at just three and a half years old. He came into my life when my heart was broken and helped me through some really hard moments. He’s always happy, ready for adventures, and has such a funny personality. Now Jonas has a rare form of pneumonia. After four weeks of coughing and shortness of breath, we finally have the right medication. He has a long recovery ahead, but we’re going to face it together. Hopefully, in the new year, he’ll be able to run, play, swim, and be his silly self again without restrictions.

Penny

Penny

United States

This is Penny who was born on 7/26/2026 She's so curious and spunky and loves getting into mischief. Shes got hops too! But no bones so she ends up falling over. She's also found her voice recently!

Tashi

Tashi

Tashi was named after “Tashi Delek,” a Tibetan greeting expressing goodwill. She’s a nine-week-old chocolate Lab with an old soul and a cheerful, gentle nature that draws people to her. We’re two retired seniors who waited for the right companion, and Tashi found us. We thought we were going to pick up a black Lab puppy, but she made it clear we were meant to be together. Through her social media adventures, we hope to share her joy and goodwill with anyone who needs a little brightness in their day.

Pedro

Pedro

Pedro came into my life one night at a dinner party, a rescue puppy with jet-black fur and oversized paws who became fifteen years of steady, unshakeable devotion. He was my soul dog and my anchor through life’s hardest moments, offering comfort with a gentle nudge or his head resting in my lap. He loved the beach, swimming, and food, but hated baths. Even in his final chapter, facing cancer, Pedro showed us what true bravery looked like. He left behind a legacy of pure love, a once-in-a-lifetime companion whose mark on our hearts will never fade.

Bailey

Lab of the Month

August 2026

Bailey

@baileythechocolab · England

Bailey is my very special boy, my first dog, my companion, and such an important part of our family. My beautiful chocolate Labrador will turn 11 on September 15, 2026. He is clever, loving, loyal, and so food-motivated that he can even open his own treat cupboard! Bailey has also shown incredible strength. After being diagnosed with cancer over a year ago, he had a tumour removed from his leg and a metal implant fitted, which later developed an infection requiring ongoing treatment. Through it all, he remains gentle, happy, and always by our side. We feel incredibly blessed to still have him with us, and after everything he has faced, every extra day with Bailey truly feels like a gift. ❤️

Reese

Runner-Up

August 2026

Reese

@reesethefoxredlab · United States

Meet Reese, our fox red Lab! She's happiest with a hose spraying water, a dog park full of new friends, or a pool to dive into. If there's food involved, she's first in line! Reese also loves cruising around on golf cart rides and exploring new places with her pawrents by her side. This month is an extra special one because she's getting promoted to big sister, and we can't wait to see her take on her newest adventure with that same loving, playful spirit.
