The labrador retriever is one of the most popular dog breeds in the world. With their friendly, affectionate, and outgoing nature, they make exceptional companion dogs for children and adults alike. Their loyalty, intelligence, and trainability make them brilliant service dogs too, providing much needed emotional and physical support to their humans. In spite of these traits though, some of them have been abused and abandoned by their former owners. Enter Love of Labs, IN, (LOLIN, INC), an organization whose mission is “to reduce the euthanasia rate of Labrador Retrievers and Labrador mixes throughout animal shelters/animal controls.”

On September 14, LOLIN, INC will be holding Labapalooza, a fundraising event to help unloved and unwanted labrador retrievers get a second chance at a better life. Happening at Mallow Run Winery, Bargersville, get ready for a delightful afternoon filled with delicious drinks and food, fun games, exciting raffles, amazing live entertainment, adorable furbabies, and more!

On Sunday, September 14, 2025 from 12-4pm at Mallow Run Winery in Bargersville, IN, Love of Labs, Indiana will host the 14th Annual family-friendly Labapalooza. This event will bring together dog lovers, LOLIN alumni, and lovers of wine and music to help celebrate the many lives saved in animal rescue. We expect over 500 people in attendance. All are welcome – this includes leashed LOLIN alumni and non-LOLIN dogs. We love them all!

Someone once said, “Labradors: Once they love, they love steadily, unchangingly, til’ their last breath.” These dogs love unconditionally and they deserve a family that will reciprocate that. This September, drop by Labapalooza and help the sweet rescues of LOLIN, INC get a second shot at a finding their furever families.
