Presley found himself at Lab Rescue earlier this year, in need of a little extra love and support. Now, after spending some time with one of our trainers, he is doing much better and is ready for his forever home. He is crate trained and can be left alone in one for short periods, and will sleep in a kennel during the day. Skills like 'leave it,' 'stay,' and 'place' are all improving so much. We would say that he is doing well on recall, too, but the truth is it's hard to get him far enough away from you to practice! He really just wants to hang out with his person. Overall, he's an affectionate boy working hard to gain confidence and be the best pup he can be. He can't wait to find an experienced family who is looking for a good boy who wants to please.

TJ could be short for Trader Joe's, TJ Maxx, the TV show TJ Hooker, The Junior, or any other number of things. We don't know since he was a stray to the shelter and he's not saying much. We just know he’s a silly, goofy, handsome pup in search of loving home.

If you can offer that, you will be getting an awesome, fun-loving companion in return! TJ is waiting for his family at the kennel. He had a lovely outing with a volunteer. She reports they took a several miles walk and he did well on a front clip harness. He met a new human friend and gave a nice Lab lean. He was only mildly interested in the squirrels and birds. He needs an active home where he can run and chase a ball to his heart's content, and a family ready to integrate him into their activities. He seems to love water - even splashing in a water bowl was entertainment for him.

He is now in a foster home and this handsome beast has proven to be a delightful foster! This sweet boy is fully housebroken, takes treats gently, loves affection, and gets along well with the resident Labs. He has been left loose in the home for several hours at a time with no issues. A friendly fellow as soon as he came through the door. He came to us right away for pets and follows us everywhere in the house and outdoors. His transporters report that he travels really well. He is a little shy of the food processor, blender, and hair dryer, but just walks away calmly, does not act crazy! Trident has it all; great looks, a kind heart, and a sharing spirit.

Twilight’s love of the outdoors offered a great opportunity to test her progress via a long weekend at the beach. She did amazingly well! The circumstances were ideal for her: female-only, with doggie companions and lots of time outdoors. While she is still a shy girl who startles easily, Twilight (who answers to “Squid”) was happy and spirited on the trip. She moved around the entire beach house freely while keeping an eye on foster mom’s whereabouts. She warmed up quickly to a female guest after outdoor introductions, and she loved the guest’s dog, too. She walked miles on the beach each day with her vacation pack and had an endearing way of pulling up close to her doggie pals for neck nuzzles as if to say, “Isn’t this fun?” She loved the sand and jumped right into the waves. With a little more exposure, this little farm mama will swim! She is house- and crate-trained and rode great in the car for the 3-hour trip. Twilight’s beach weekend showed that, in the right space and with consistency and routine, she won’t need much assistance to go with the flow. 

Watch Twilight at the beach!
