THANKS TO A GENEROUS DONOR WHO WANTS TO HELP ALL SENIOR PUPS FIND THEIR FOREVER HOMES, THE ADOPTION FEE IS $125. 

Angel has blossomed swince she came to us! She has gone from an anxious, pacing dog to a comfortable, semi-independent sweetheart. It may be that she has learned that her fosters’ home exists and functions for the dogs, and there are many, many comfy and safe spots for dogs. Angel has also learned that rides in the car are good and will stretch out for the ride. She absolutely loves the other dogs in the house and will often engage in gentle play. Angel also does an excellent sploot and is quite beautiful. Her youthful vigor is impressive. She is going to be a delight for somebody.

Annie is an incredibly sweet and friendly girl who is having a ball in her foster home. She loves people and playing with toys and other dogs. Everyone she meets is a new friend. Especially if they give pets! Overall she has pretty good house manners and is crate trained, she's just getting used to car rides and leash walks - it's a different pace from her former life in the country! Perhaps her favorite things are playing in water, and snuggles from her humans. Annie is an all-around great girl, and will make some household very lucky!

Handsome Beans is a very sweet, easy dog who loves attention. This friendly guy loved going to day care where he was a favorite and enjoyed playing with the other dogs - AND he's good with cats! Beans was born with hip and elbow dysplasia which is being treated with medication and Purina One Joint Health - which work great. He has no problem using an elevator or walking up a flight of stairs, though he would prefer a house without too many steps. Beans is always up for an adventure. He loves walks, water, the beach, and parks…and enjoys taking one of his toys or a tennis ball along to share the event. Like most Labs, he loves his food, especially anything crunchy (apples and carrots), peanut butter, and of course, treats. But best of all, he LOVES his people and loves to be with them as much as possible. Beans is such a good boy! He’s dreaming of a forever home where he’ll get all the love, affection and exercise he deserves.

Bobby is a stunning young yellow boy. He’s an extra-large boy with a gentle heart and a big brain to match. Although Bobby is strong, he’s also incredibly smart and eager to learn – especially when the reward is tasty treats and your praise. He walks nicely on leash with a no-pull harness. Bobby is fully crate-trained, house-trained, and enjoys quiet time in the backyard, lounging in the sun or sniffing around. He’s generally a calm and quiet companion.  Bobby would do best in an adult only home with no cats. 

Bogey and Mulligan are a pair of handsome, well behaved boys. They are house- and crate-trained (though they don't need the crate). They know several commands and listen very well. Their prior owner taught them to 'sit' while their meals are being prepared and and wait for the 'ok' command to eat. They know sit, stay, come, and sort of understand 'heel'. They walk fairly well on leash but their prior owner has not been able to walk them for a while (they used to walk 2-3 miles a day), so they may need to brush up on that. Bogey is more the goofball of the two and is always up for playtime. Mulligan keeps things on track. These beautiful boys were wonderful for the vet, did great for the transporters, and were very sweet during their evaluations. They will fill some home with happiness and must be adopted together..

Brad is a very good boy. He co-exists nicely with the resident Lab but his real passion is fetch, not dog play. He has already found every ball left in the bushes by less serious ball players. He requires at least three fetch sessions per day (currently morning, midday and evening) to feel satisfied. Brad also walks 3-4 miles per day, loves to hike and would probably make a good running partner because he does not stop to sniff. He maintains a brisk pace in a no pull harness but stays in his own lane and does not react to deer or other dogs. He’s much more interested in birds! A Velcro pup, Brad likes to stay close to foster mom in the house and put his head in her lap on the couch. Because he loves his people so much, he has not been interested in escaping the fence but given his known physical abilities, it will be important not to leave him alone in the yard without supervision. Brad is a confident dog with a strong physical presence who would love a home with active adopters who will play fetch with him and give him the exercise he needs.

Casper is a sweet, sometimes silly, very good boy. When he came to Lab Rescue he was missing most of his fur due to severe allergies. After treating him, he regained his beautiful fur, and his true identity became clear: he's a Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd mix! Now that he’s healthy and fluffy again, we know that Casper is very much a working dog who loves being outside and thriving when he has a job that suits his instincts and personality, like livestock guarding. True to his nature, Casper believes in keeping an eye on things. He’s not excessively noisy, but he does patrol the fence line and will alert bark at passing threats like squirrels, plastic bags, or neighbors living their lives. He’ll quiet when asked and is happy to come inside when his job is done. A large securely fenced yard is non-negotiable; he’s got strong instincts to roam and protect, and he needs space to do both safely. He’s crate trained & house trained. Casper is calm, stoic, and devoted; extremely gentle with people. He's independent, though affectionate with his family. He walks nicely on leash, enjoys park outings, and gets along with other dogs, but is mostly indifferent to them. If he could choose, he'd prefer a large, calm female dog companion, but he'd be happy as an only dog too. He'll do best with a family who has working dog experience who understands the nature of the breeds. Casper will do best in a rural area, ideally on a farm, or similar place he can be put to work. He has lived with cats, and will play with them if they agree.

Chesapeake recently arrived at her foster home. It was reported she was an excellent travel companion and just needed a lift in and out of the car. Upon arrival, she took a quick sniff around the yard before meeting the three resident dogs—greeting them like long-lost friends. In just a few short days, she's demonstrated she's a sweet, silly lady who loves her toys. While Chesapeake enjoys the company of dogs, she really loves being near people. She knows her name, and by the full-body wags it seems she loves to be called Chessie. She has full-house privileges during the workday with a midday visit and has proven herself to be house-trained. At night, she curls up on the dog bed on the floor right next to the bed. Chesapeake would feel much better if she could shed some extra pounds - climbing the steps into the house is a bit of a challenge. A home with minimal stairs would be best for her comfort. She loves taking slow strolls and happily retrieves a tennis ball. Chesapeake is a very, very good girl and an excellent companion.

Cocoa and Titan are a fun, lovable bonded pair! Unfortunately, they have found themselves in a bit of a pickle and are looking for a new, loving, forever home. They didn't know that going after the neighbor's chickens was a crime, so instead of doing the time, their owner decided Lab Rescue would be a better option. The boys are so happy for that decision and promise to be on their very best behavior from now on! More to come on these handsome guys as we learn more about them when they go to a foster home.

Coconut is a handsome, sweet, very well behaved boy. He has been great at the vets office and was a wonderful passenger for his transporters. Coconut continues to charm everyone he meets. He is always so happy and loves everyone. The feeling seems to be mutual with everyone that has met him. This handsome boy is absolutely adorable in every way and will make some lucky family very happy.

Daisy is a spunky girl who loves the outdoors. She is used to being around other dogs and having access to a backyard. Daisy came back to Lab Rescue after her previous adopter had to go into assisted living. She was very loved and part of the family. Daisy is housetrained, crate trained, walks well on a leash, and sleeps on the couch or a dog bed. Daisy is good with large dogs, but no cats or small dogs for this girl, as she has a high prey drive. More on Daisy soon.

Dallas is a sweet loving boy with the prettiest eyes. He is a very happy and friendly pup--everyone is his friend. He loves to retrieve and will bring back what you toss sometimes after a lap or two around the yard. He has great manners and seems to be house trained. He rode well on the trips to and from the vet. He had a rough start but we can fix that and make sure the rest of his life is great.

Dish & Moi made a stunning appearance at a recent adoption event. They are beautiful, elegant dogs who look like they should be riding in a convertible with the top down. They have achieved their ideal body weights: Dish now weighs in at 92 lbs while his sister is a sleek 72 lbs! The pups were well behaved at the event and very calm and friendly with all. Foster mom reports that the two were invited to a home with a swimming pool. Moi dove right in after her ball without thinking and seemed surprised to have to start swimming! They are ball and tug fanatics and have been known to spend several minutes pulling each other to and fro and even up and downstairs with the same toy in their mouths! They are devoted to each other but get along well with other dogs too, although Moi tends to prefer male playmates to female.

The ideal adopters for Ethel should be an active person(s) who will include Ethel in activities that will further her training and stimulate her mind. She’s an active, playful girl with young dog energy and intelligence. That physical activity, whether that be play, tug, or walks/jogs with her human, needs to happen every day. Ethel has started to learn to swim at the beach and seems to really enjoy playing fetch in the water. She also loves a good chew toy with a soft bed. Ethel has been through quite a few changes in her short life and will do best with her humans home more than not. Ethel is cute as a button, and a family ready to commit to this little nugget will be rewarded with sweetness and personality for days.
