We are so pleased with our experience with Annabelle Acres and Tony Wedeward. The concept of adopting a retired mom was intriguing and wonderful. Our new Fox-red lab, Simmer, is a joy to our family. Tony was very easy to work with and helpful in choosing between Simmer and several other labs. He provided many supplies for her which was a surprise and great. She has just been with us only 5 weeks and we are adapting and learning each other’s personalities. She’s a great companion. We couldn’t recommend a better place to adopt a lab!

Adopting a dog is an experience that comes from the heart. Sometimes your experience isn’t a memorable one. I can tell you, if you are longing for a memorable experience and learning about what it’s like to have a labrador, Annabelle Acres is the place to try. The owners, Tony and Jackie are wonderful experienced people with the Labrador breed. We knew we wanted a Labrador after our girl passed away last August. We had been waiting for the right time but didn’t want a puppy. Annabelle Acres has a system that works. My husband and I were very impressed with the process. There was great communication and all of our wishes were heard, and great advice was given. I would definitely recommend Annabelle Acres to anyone who is looking for a lab to add to their family. Everything that is given in this process is priceless. Not only do you get a wonderful, gorgeous dog, but you gain friends in the process. I have never experienced anything quite like Annabelle Acres. Owning a dog is something that carries responsibility. Tony and Jackie at Annabelle Acres Provide you with everything that you need to get You started with your new Family member. We will be forever, grateful for our new girl, Jessie Mae formally known as Dora. She has completed our family. We will also never forget how she came to be with us!! Thank you Tony and Jackie it has been an honor to have found you.

Tony and Annabelle Acres matched me with my two precious girls, Whiskey and Coco. Tony was patient, kind, and very accommodating. I would definitely recommend adopting from Tony. He truly cares about the labs he places.

Cannot say enough great things about this organization. Our family has had two wonderful additions thanks to Tony and his family. Would recommended anyone in the market for a family dog to seriously consider Annabelle Acres.

We called to ask about donating items after our Labrador passed away. No one called back.

I honestly didn’t know what to expect when we first started looking to adopt a lab. We had had an experience with a local breeder years back and we didn’t know if this would be something similar. But I have to say this was the best experience we have ever had adopting a dog. Tony does a great job getting a feel for our personalities when we sat down and talked, it’s such an inviting place that what I thought was an hour was a few hours of chatting and it felt like catching up with an old friend. After we had been taking he brought a few labs over for us to see if we could bond with them or see how they reacted to us. Tony had carefully planned the lineup of ladies and gentlemen to have us meet based on our household, activities, and other pets. After a sleep over we knew he had picked the best companion for us and the “Happy Tails” day was set. I cannot thank Tony and his family enough for taking the time to work with us to find the perfect forever girl for us. If you are looking for the perfect Labrador companion for life please give Tony a call.

I had a great experience adopting a lab from Annabelle Acres. Tony and his family are truly so caring and loving to their dogs and want them to go to the best homes possible. You can tell the dogs there are so happy and adore Tony & his family because they are so loved and well taken care of. Tony guided me through the adoption process and was very patient with me as it was my first time adopting and I had many questions. I would highly recommend adopting from this organization if you are looking for a furever best friend.

We recently adopted our 5 year old lab, Rainy, from Annabelle Acres and are very pleased with the adoption process Tony set up, and most importantly feel blessed to share our home and lives with sweet and loving Rainy.Tony places the welfare of his dogs above all considerations, and each dog is provided physical and emotional care, including immunizations and vet check-ups and treatments as needed.As sweet as Rainey is, we are her first human family after the short stay with Tony and previous time with different breeders. Being her first human family, we can continue what Tony started by helping Rainy come out of her shy self and learn basic things like a daily walk.We cannot say enough about Tony practicing what he preaches and finding homes for labs who are either owner surrendered or offered for adoption from breeders.Our world needs more caring people like Tony and his wife Jackie who have unconditional love for the labs who come to them.

Tony was amazing to work with. He got to know myself and my first dog, Hammer, to find the best fit for us. He takes the time to get to know the dogs that come into his care, and shares all that information with you so you can make the best decision possible. Visiting Annabelle Acres was one of the best experiences I‘ve had. Hammer and I have now had Maggie in our home for almost a month, and it couldn’t have been a smoother transition and better fit.

We recently adopted a wonderful 5 year old yellow lab who is a retired mom, from Annabelle Acres. Everything about the adoption was wonderful. Tony was quick to respond to all my questions. He offered a sleep over with our dog to make sure it was a perfect fit. He even drove 3 1/2 hours one way to pick her up and take her back to Annabelle Acres where she went through 2 months of socialization, weight loss and was spayed. I received photos of our dog throughout the process.
We were very impressed with his facility where the dogs are kept. Each kennel was clean and the dogs had a very large outside dog park to play and run in. They were bathed, groomed and trained, as well as given a full vet checkup with shots and lab work.
When we came to pick up our dog, Tony had her dressed in a monogramed scarf with her name (Cherry) and Annabelle Acres, Retired Mom on it. She was sent home with heartworm meds, food for a week, and her favorite bones. We went through her records and explained everything in her folder.
I would highly recommend Annabelle Acres to anyone looking for a wonderful lab! You will find Tony is compassionate and truly cares that each of these labs finds the best home!

From the moment of the 1st phone conversation we first connected with Tony (Annabelle Acres), who's reassuring voice, our search for our furever partner, Charlie (a Chocolate Labrador) aka Charlie Brown reached a destination point. Each visit we came out to spend time with Charlie and Tony was the new beginning of our life with Charlie, who was shy at first, but with every day slowly accepting us into his life. Tony schooled us very well covering all aspects of Charlie's previous life situation and the hows and whys to make the best possible transition for Charlie, which we did with Tony, every week coming to visit, spending time with Charlie and Tony and sometimes just Charlie, which further cemented our bond. Tony kept us up-to-date (phone calls/texts) with all the progress Charlie was making between our visits, which we drank like a dog drinking water from a clear, blue lake, consuming every morsel-tidbit of information about our new family member to come home with us in the future when the time was right for the final BIG HOMECOMING to our/his new home! There are not enough words, emojis, or exclamation points, I could express, to show the gratitude we hold for Tony and his family (Annabelle Acres).
