ADOPTED DOGS

Vernon is a super sweet boy that is very calm for a young dog. He was a stray that was found and then entered into our program.  He is great on a leash and loves to go on walks or runs around the lake.  He knows the sit command fairly well and we have been working on others.  He is also great with kids, not so great with kids toys.  Of course he has a bit of puppy in him so he still likes to chew on things, but never the furniture.  He is decent with crating - still a little scared to go in, but after that he is good.  He roams free in the house as well.  He has a lot of energy and loves to play, but also will just lay right next to wherever you are and just enjoy your company.  He is very dog friendly, and just loves playing with his two foster sisters.

Hi my name is Trane.  I am a very unique yellow lab, I have great markings, with the cutest pink nose, lips, tongue, eyelids and even toenails! I really LOVE to CUDDLE and get attention.  I am extremely calm for a puppy and my fosters have had many to compare me to.  I really like to chill with my owners and am a people dog.

I was saved by DFWLRR at the last minute from being "put down" from an East Texas shelter and can't really tell my foster my history before that.  He doesn't speak dog.  Until I was saved, I had no idea even how to be a puppy.  I was very shy, untrained, did not know how to play with dogs or even what toys were.  My foster has focused on teaching me to be a dog, first and foremost.   I think I am getting the hang of it... with the help of my two lab playmates.  I have been with my temp foster family for 5 days and am coming into my own.  I am learning what FUN is. I am fetching, playing with my four-legged friends, walking on a leash (pretty well) and I am REALLY good about potty training (90% there).  I also know how to use a doggy door, but am limited to its use.. so I won't get too used to it if you don't have one.

We are close to starting commands, but I can "sit" and know the word "no".  I have tons of toys and no issues (yet) with chewing any furniture, etc.  I am really good spending time in my crate.  I'll bark to let you know I need to go out to potty and sleep a good 5 to 6 hours.  I am not a barker or a whiner.  I have been left up to 6 hours and have not had any accidents in my crate.

I am very healthy after a depressing beginning of life. I am already neutered and up to date on my shots and vet visits. 

Please fill out an application and get approved, first and foremost.  I look forward to my first public outing!  Hope to see you there.

My foster parents tell me I am a love.  I love giving kisses and like to sit right next to them on the couch.  I am so good outside playing with my foster parents and other dogs who live here with me.  One of them is my best friend and she is 10 times bigger than me, but her size doesn't intimidate me at all!  She plays gentle with me.  I love to fetch the ball and am learning to bring it back.  I run into my crate at meal times, sometimes with so much energy that I forget and hit my head at the other end.  I have lots of toys, but my favorite is one that is filled with treats and I have to kick it around to get the pieces out.  I sleep very well in my crate, a good 8 hours a night and do my business as soon as I get up.  My parents say I will make a family very happy and hope there will be kids for me to play with.

Fritz is about 1 1/2 year old black male weighing in at about 60 lbs. He has become a wonderful companion to my 10 year lab/mix. He still lets her be the queen and win the wrestling matches! He is fairly well behaved but could use some more work on a leash. 

He loves to play with others and has a great time off leash at the dog park and with other doggy friends in the backyard. He is loveable but very alert to his surroundings. He would make a great alarm system! He has been crate trained but has been allowed many more privileges since we are having some work done on the house. He currently sleeps in our room. He has not had many experiences with cats. He would do fine with children since he is not too big and is very cuddly. He does gets nervous at the meet and greets but is unbelievably better in a home setting.

We have truly enjoyed having him in our household.

I'm a two year old black male Lab looking for my forever home.  I love to play with other dogs and I am kid friendly.  I like to play fetch and love the water.  I am house broken and I don't mind staying in a kennel.  When I drink water, I am a bit messy.  I like to sleep next to the bed and will wake you up by putting my nose next to your head.  I'm such a sweet boy so come and meet me!!

I am one happy boy and I love to smile. I have a great block head I am told and I will listen to anything you say if food is involved. I am working on basic commands, although I have "sit" all covered. I am crate trained, house broken, and good on a leash. I love all my fosters brothers and sisters, the older ones and the puppies, but no cats for me. I have VERY high prey drive and if a cat went running by I might be inclined to chase them!!!

If I come to live with you, you can be sure you will always be able to find me because I will be right by your side. I am not a big kisser, but I am always up for a snuggle. Would you like to snuggle with me? 

Chopper is a 5 year old healthy playful Lab. He is crate trained, potty trained, well behaved and just great to be around. Retrieving tennis balls and bringing them back is one of his favorite activities. Long walks provide him the daily exercise he needs and gives him a chance to make new friends with people and dogs. Chopper plays well with his foster brothers. He has good house manners and while inside Chopper is respectful and attentive. He has had some basic obedience training and will need a family to help him keep up his good habits.

Bio coming soon!

Three-year old Pinot is a beautiful golden girl with feathery highlights that punctuate her silky coat. She is extremely gentle and mild-mannered, getting along great with all adults, pets and children in our home. In addition to being very pretty, Pinot is cuddly and much more affectionate than most dogs we've known and faithfully follows her master(s) around the house, making her an excellent companion. She is smaller in stature and remains very thin after her rescue, but is healthy and alert, eating well and enjoying toys and bones. She enjoys walks and play time, along with meeting new people and other dogs. She prefers to sleep with her family at the side of the bed, and is not crate trained or anxious to enter confined spaces. She uses the dog door regularly to let herself out and loves being in the house with people. She is an amazing pup for many reasons, and any family would be very lucky to have lovely Pinot.

Rockie is one of the sweetest dogs we've ever met! He is about 4 months old and is fully vetted!  He is almost 100% housetrained, uses the doggy door and absolutely loves other dogs. He loves to run and play outside and he can fetch and bring back the ball! He is also interested in the water but has not yet jumped into the swimming pool...however, he does like to lay in our water fountain!

Rockie has made himself at home. In just under a week, he has managed to fit in with his six other dog brothers and sisters. He follows the big guys around and just does whatever they do! He is super affectionate and loves to be held!  He is just a big lovable baby!  He is also crate trained and will sleep throughout the night without making a sound.

He is simply a wonderful boy who is full of life and is looking for a family to love him!!  He is also great around kids, adults, strangers, EVERYONE.

Hi, my name is Kimber and I am almost a year old now. I am a super sweet girl with lots of energy and tons of loving to give. I am a great companion and just love to snuggle and give kisses. I am very well behaved and have had no accidents and can be trusted to roam free during the night. Most of the time I am snuggling with my foster mom anyways. I am only in my crate during the day while my foster mommy is at work.

Playing is one of my favorite things to do, I am really good at playing fetch and love to play with my ball and rope toys. I love to play with my doggie friends and get along with everyone, but I have never met a cat that I can remember. I like to go on walks and I chase the ducks at the pond near where I live.

I would be a great addition to any family and can't wait to find my forever home.

Bio coming soon!

Hi, my name is Nate, named after the famous football player, Nate Newton. I like to eat almost as much as he does. You see, I am big already. My paws tell me I will be very big. But my size is deceiving. I am shy and don't like strange new things or noises that I am not familiar with. I play very well with my sister even though I am much bigger than she is. She lets me know by her growls that I am being too rough so I back away. I love kids, people and large dogs. I will give you lots of licks when I see you. Because I have very sharp teeth, I will need some soft toys  to chew on. I also love the water. My baths are cool experiences for me.

Nate's breed status cannot be determined yet.

Hello everyone, My name is Mama Browning, you know after the guys that make those hunting guns. I am 2 years old and I already had four little ones - they are my pride and joy but I was ready for a break My foster mom really loves me and tells people that I am a great dog because I am completely housebroken, crate trained but don't need to be crated, I love to swim, play ball and best of all I am very socialized with other dogs and cats and I love to play with children. I ride well in the car too. I have been told that I have great house manners. My favorite thing to do is to cuddle up with you and give lots of kisses.

I would love to go home with you and be your furever friend!

Sincerely,

Mama Browning

I am a beautiful young male black Lab and I have the cutest tiny white patch on my chin and a small star on my chest. My foster mom tells me that it makes me look suave and debonair, and that if I could talk I would sound like Sean Connery.

I'm very athletic and think I would be a good hunter if you like that kind of thing.  I love playing with my sister Mossy-berg--we have a large time in our baby pool and stay cool on these hot summer days.

I am working on potty training (but I'm only 11 weeks old after all), but I sleep tight through the night and love to snuggle and watch movies. I still have puppy breath and can't wait to find my new forever home. I can't wait to meet you...I will make you so happy!

Dear Future Fur-ever Family,  

Let me tell you guys a little about myself.  I am a 4 year old black Lab looking for that special family to take me home! My hobbies include, chasing tennis balls, swimming, taking walks, snacking dog treats and napping on my dog bed. It would be awesome to have a yard to run and play in!  I would like to be your only dog, but that is negotiable. I know your basic commands and walk well on my leash. If you have love and scratches to give, then I am the dog for you!  See you soon!

Sincerely,

Pepper

Although Ithaca is one of our "gun" dogs, she is no "pistol" ! Instead she is a true Southern lady with grace and manners.

I must admit, she is one of our best fosters ever! She is trustworthy in our home and is crate trained and house trained. She sleeps in our bedroom in her own bed at night...but I am guilty of letting her sleep on the bed with us and her foster brother.

This sweet girl is about 8 years young with plenty of energy and loves to play ball or go for walks. She rarely barks (she has a soft "woof"). She gets along great with other dogs and responds quickly to commands. She has a happy , affectionate personality.

She is on the small side for a Lab, weighing in at 53 lbs. She is a creamy pale yellow Lab with a soft coat and large dark eyes. She would fit in easily in a family or single person home.

Hi, my name is Pearl. I am named after that special rare gem cuz I am beautiful. I am very independent and love to explore. I am curious about all the things around me. However, my family is teaching me the word "no" so I am also very smart. I love people and children, and I get along with dogs much bigger than I am. Because my real mom left me after I was born, I also love German shepherds. You see, my adopted "mom" who helped me was this big guy who was very gentle with me and my brother. He was a German shepherd who weighs close to 90 lbs. I hope you want me in your house. I will make a very good pet for someone and am in the process of being crate trained. When I first wake up, I am taken out on the grass where I am learning to do my business.

Beware! I love to chew.

Pearl's breed status cannot be determined yet.

Miss D. (we call her Misty... say Miss D. real fast, you'll see!) is a wonderful older gal. She has a beautiful, thick coat that is pale yellow and big brown eyes. Misty loves playing fetch with a tennis ball and knows how to drop it when she brings it back to you. She walks well on a leash and likes everyone she meets - people and animals, alike. Misty is crate trained though she would rather be at your side. She gets along with her 2 (big) foster brothers and sleeps with them in the bedroom at night.

Misty is still new to us so check back soon - we'll keep adding more to her profile as we get to know her better!

I am a PRECIOUS 11 week old female black lab who can't wait to go home with you!  My foster mom tells me that I am going to be absolutely gorgeous because I have such a sweet face; I sure hope she's right.

I love playing with my brother Winchester--we just have the best time and I can hold my own with him!  We have great fun swimming in our baby pool and I really LOVE the water!  I like to play with golf balls, too.

I'm starting to get pretty good at pottying outside, and I sleep tight every night and don't wake anyone up.  I still have puppy breath and can't wait to find my forever home!  Everyone tells me that I am the sweetest puppy they've ever seen and I can't wait to be sweet to you.....

Hi, my name is Teal! I am loads of love, energy and fun. I adore people and I am very gentle. I am also very good around small children. I love to fetch the ball and have a very gentle mouth. I sleep in a crate when alone and at night. Everyone says I love to please. I learn quickly, take commands very well and appreciate positive reinforcement. I love going on walks and runs, too! I get along well with other animals, but I am fine just being with my Master as well.

As I mentioned earlier, I am a very sweet-natured and loving girl, and I know you will love me.

This gorgeous boy is going to make a great companion for a lucky family.  Torre is about one year old and is your typical puppy.   He has lots of energy, loves toys- especially bones, loves to play with other dogs, and is eager to please.  

Torre is crate trained and potty trained and knows the command "sit". He walks well on a leash and will also sit in his crate before being let out.    He is food motivated so he should be a quick learner for new tricks and behaviors. 

His ideal home is one with another active dog and one with no toddlers due to his size and energy level.  He will need daily exercise but having a playmate will help with that.  Torre absolutely loves other dogs and would like to have a brother/sister to play with.  

If you are looking for a young dog that will be an active companion and melt your heart, then come meet Torre. 

Hi! My name is Kona and I am the sweetest girl you will ever meet! I'm a 5 year old Chocolate and am told that I am absolutely beautiful. I love to please and am so quick to learn. I know many commands by words and hand signals (sit, stay, down, come, spin, high-5, come in, and so many more)!

I haven't ever counter surfed or chewed anything that didn't belong to me. I love to give kisses and to have my belly rubbed.

Although I have been crate trained, I haven't been in a crate for several years because I can be trusted to have free reign of the house when left alone.

My favorite things to do are chase a racquetball, go on walks and go to the lake.

Although I get so excited when I meet new people and other dogs, I am a submissive urinator, but I am working on that and it can be controlled by the way the interaction is managed.

My parents love me very much, but due to extenuating circumstances they can't keep me. They want to find me a perfect home and hope that it is with you!

Hi my name is Wesson. I am a 12 week Black Lab puppy with the cutest white patch on my chest. I have had my second round of shots and was neutered about 3 weeks ago.  I am pretty laid back for a puppy my age. I love to give kisses. I have been with my foster family for a couple weeks and I am very happy with them and their two older labs.  We play great together.  I'm having a great time with them.

In two days, I am quickly learning "no, come, sit, down, wait, stay, drop it, leave it and potty." I am happy in my crate and really good about not whining. I have stayed by myself for up to 5 hours in the crate with no accidents. I'm quickly learning potty training and prefer to "go" outside where I am supposed to.  I have slept up to 6 hours as well.

I have tons of toys to play with and do well with "no" to chewing on anything that is not a toy. I am catching on to fetch as well!   I have been to the lake and like swimming, though I have not ventured into the pool in the back yard.   My foster parents don't want me to swim at home, because of the doggy doors.  I just might be a full time swimmer...you never know.

My foster parents said they would keep me if they could because I am awesome, full of personality, sweet and smart but they already have a full house. I am available now for Meet n Greets and personal visits... at your house or mine.  Let's meet and see if I'm your little guy!

If you haven't started the process please fill out your application to get approved and lets set up a meeting or keep your eye on the Meet N Greets that I will attend!  I'm so excited to find my furever home! 

Thanks!

This handsome boy was found as a stray, but he is just an adorable pup. He does good with other dogs and will make a great addition to any family.

Hi, my name is Canary.  I think that they named me because of my beautiful yellow coat and because sometimes I like to "sing". 

My foster mom says I am absolutely gorgeous and sweet as can be. I get along with my foster brother and any other dogs I meet in my new neighborhood. I love to lie around and cuddle in the evenings when we watch TV, or play in the back yard. I am enjoying exploring my new neighborhood on my walks and "mom" says I am great on a leash. I don't pull at all. I am congenial, friendly, and would get along with kids or other dogs.

My previous owners gave me up because of a divorce and that made me sad, but I look forward to finding my new owners and my forever home. 

Bio coming soon!

Mogul is a classic American Labrador.  Gentle and powerful this guy loves to please his owners.  He is looking for a loving home where he can get the exercise and human interaction he needs.

His exuberance for life is contagious.  Not a big fan of his crate, his tail starts to wag the second he is released to the yard to play with my other dogs.  He loves to retrieve tennis balls and has learned quickly how to drop the ball for a treat.

At three years old, Mogul is a great age for a lab.  He is old enough to be fully housebroken, knows sit, working on stay and down. He gets along with our cat yet is still young enough to display his full fledged puppy energy.

After a 15 minute game of fetch he looks forward to dinner (loves to eat), then lying quietly at my feet for a belly rub.  This happy guy will make a great family pet.

Hi there, thanks for coming to check me out! I've been getting used to a new house with a new dog brother and cat sister...and overall have been adjusting really well. My foster mom says she's never seen a dog want to play with toys so much (because that and getting petted is all I really wanna do) - but she also says I'm super sweet and lovable.

I am looking for that perfect family that will want to love me forever (my last family didn't keep me when they went through a divorce). I like other animals, am absolutely crazy about balls and any kind of game of fetch, and have pretty good manners overall. I'll even lay down next to you if you're done playing.  My foster mom says that my biggest challenge is that I HATE to be away from people and will get a little vocal about it (i.e. I'll bark until my foster mom gets me out of the crate in the morning)...but that in the grand scheme of challenges isn't too bad!

Come check me out - I might be the perfect fit for you!!! 

Tucson is an absolutely wonderful Lab and has been through a lot since we rescued him - please watch our website for details and a special Tucson Fundraiser! 

Since I have fostered him, I have been able to get to know him and he is the sweetest, most laid back dog. He gets along well with other dogs and loves people. He absolutely loves to cuddle - he doesn't realize how big he is when he tries to get on your lap! Most of the time when he naps, he lays on his back and all four legs are up in the air...it is so cute! He has napping down to an art! He loves going for walks but does pull on the leash some and I am working with him on that. I do not know if he likes water but plan to see if he does after he is fully healed from his surgeries. He has a pretty strong prey drive and is obsessed with keeping the squirrels out of the trees in my backyard. If he could climb the trees to get to them, he would! In fact, the only time he ever barks is at the squirrels! 

Since he is a somewhat large and pretty strong Lab, he would probably do best with adults only or families with older children.  He might accidentally knock those sweet 3 year olds over!

Tucson is a wonderful dog and will bring lots of love and affection  to the lucky person/family who adopts him!

Pebbles is very sweet, but needs the basic young Lab work, like help with commands. She does not jump so she would be great with young children and is very gentle when you feed her treats.  She plays well with other dogs and seems to be fine around cats. She likes to take the lead when you take her on a walk so leash training is on her list.  Some structure, exercise, and proper affection will help her.  Pebbles does great when left inside when no one is home, as long as she's not in a crate.  

 Please click here to watch a video of Pebbles playing in the snow!

Lilly is a wonderfully loving dog who gets along well with all my dogs, both big and small. She does best in a crate whenever I'm out of the house, because she's a very agile counter-surfer! She will find whatever there is to find up there! Lilly goes easily into the crate when given a treat, and stays there while I'm at work. When I'm home she follows me from room to room, always ready for a pet and a kind word.

She loves to cuddle up to watch TV, and sleeps soundly on a dog-bed beside the bed. 

She is a typical lab puppy who is learning her house manners ie: potty training. Kira had kennel cough, she is now on antibiotics and recovering nicely. She does fine with other dogs and is curious about the cat.

Syracuse is a very gentle Lab. She loves her crate and really loves her bed. When it comes to food, she takes her time. She is great with other dogs, seems to be the follower, but tries to show her dominance every once in awhile! She enjoys laying around where ever you are. She is potty trained, just a couple accidents when she first came-I didn't know her signal yet!

She can't wait to find her new home!!!

Seattle is one of those handsome, sweet Labs that makes me happy to be part of the program. He is laid back and gets along well with our other dogs and cat. No house accidents or unauthorized chewing and seems fully housebroken and crate trained.Loves to do all the typical Lab stuff like swimming and chasing tennis balls. He is a healthy, happy guy who even gives kisses. Will do well in any home with proper exercise, discipline and affection.

Hi Boyd here, one of the most loving and kissy chocolate boys you will ever meet. I am around 2 years old and my foster family says I am the sweetest guy they have come across in a long time.  I love long walks, running with you, and even trotting next to you while you ride your bike.  I love all other dogs and kids, but I am a couch potato.  I love to snuggle with my people.  Other than playing with my foster brothers and sisters it is my favorite thing to do! Ieat well, I am house broken, and I am crate trained.  I am a very calm kinda guy, but I do love to play with my own kind, so another dog to keep me company would probably be best.  If you love attention and kisses, I am the Lab for you.

Duff is a very sweet little puppy.  He loves to go for walks and he will even help you hold the leash too.  Duff knows what to do when he is outside and hasn't had an accident in a while!  When he has to go outside he sits by the door to let you know.  This soft little puppy loves to cuddle and will follow you wherever you go.

Though he is a well-behaved little boy, he is only a few months old and still learning. As his teeth grow, he likes to keep them busy.  Duff loves to have a bone or chew around to nibble on. When crated he will whine and give you the cutest puppy look with his big eyes but after a few minutes he will calm down.

This adorable dog will quickly win your heart! If you want a pup to raise as your own, Duff is the Labrador for you!

Tacoma is a very sweet Chocolate female. Now that she is finished with heart worm treatment, we are beginning to see her true personality. She is house trained (no accidents!), likes toys, walks fairly well on a leash, and learns very fast! She is a beginner at "wait" and "look" and makes progress every day. When you tell her to "go to bed", she goes to her crate.

Tacoma has a huge appetite which is good because she's a little underweight. Tacoma gets along with everyone she meets - human or animal. We think she would be ok with cats - we tested her around quite a few cats at our vet's office and she did great. She is very affectionate towards other dogs - it must be the "mom" in her!        

If you are looking for a sweet, kind and loving dog, Tacoma is the one for you! Come meet her. Take her for a walk. She'll win you over before you get out the door!

Hi, my name is Chance and I'm three years old and quite a playful and fun guy.  Earlier this year I was hit by a car and left on the side of the road with serious leg injuries.  I was lucky to be rescued and given excellent care allowing me to return to what I do best...play FETCH !!!!!

Since I came to my foster home, I have been working on basic commands, and getting to know the pets that live with me.  I am house broken, and learning to play carefully indoors. Sometimes I don't readily share my toys with my  pet friends, but I figure since they were here first, I really should!  My house manners are pretty good now, so I am permitted to relax with my foster family while we watch TV, and I also sleep in their bedroom, with everyone else.  I even have my own bed which I just love.

I am pretty active and very playful. I love to swim also and sun myself on the green grass when I'm tired.

Now that I'm well, I am looking for a new family to love me so that I can love them back.  I am handsome as you can see, I've had all my shots, and have been neutered. All I need is a little doggie kibble, a house to watch over, and a family to love. When it comes  to play,  did I mention that I'm a "world class catcher"?  Nobody, but nobody can catch better than me !!!  Come see me and I'll demonstrate my sporting skills.  
I will be your best friend, and a loyal member of your family, if you just give me a chance.

Portia is a beautiful, sweet girl! She did very well going through her heartworm treatment and is feeling fine now.

Portia loves to be wherever there is another human, she sticks to you like glue and just wants attention and love. She has a very nice disposition and just wants to be near and dear to the right person/family. She loves to go on walks and play with the other dogs in her foster home. Mealtime is one of her favorite times which is good because she needs to gain a few pounds, she is not a big Lab.

Portia would be a wonderful dog for someone who wants a loving and doting companion and playmate.

Geronimo here, or "Mo" as my foster family calls me. I am just as sweet as candy and I love to snuggle. I am a wonderful pup who gets along with all my foster brothers and sisters, the four legged and two legged kind. I am a happy little guy who is content just about wherever you put me. 

I am still working on my potty training, but the other Labs in the house have been teaching me about going outside and I am doing a great job! My foster mom says I have the most beautiful eyes and I use them to tug at her heart strings...I'm not sure what that means, but I do get an awful lot of attention!!

If you want an adorable pup to join your family, I'm the guy for you.

Update:

Boulder is one of those dogs that makes me love Labs. Apart from his great styling (and delightful smile), Boulder is kind, gentle, tolerant, and intelligent - everything a Lab should be! While many things - protector, cuddle buddy, friend to all, Boulder does seem to have a "hunter instinct" (he has an ongoing war with the squirrel out back). Nothing troubling - he's been great with other dogs at the dog park, but I would be weary of putting him in a home with a cat - or pet rodent for that matter!

He lives everyday with unbridled exuberance. Boulder is happy go lucky, but what makes him really happy is fetch. Throw a ball/stick/toy, and he will cheerfully - and gently - return the item in his soft mouth. But with his youth and athleticism, he will need regular exercise and someone committed to training a puppy. He knows sit and is pretty close to getting "stay" and "off" down pat. Down is a bit more challenging with him (which I think is odd given that he tends to collapse at my feet anytime I stop for a moment). We have not crated Boulder, allowing him to go "free range" around the house with our other dog (2yo female) while we're away at work, and we have not had a single accident - not even so much as pillow out of place or a puddle on the rug! So proud.

Boulder is one of those dogs that just IS a good dog - not perfect (hey, if your family abandoned you at the local shelter, because they didn't have time for you - you'd have some issues too!), but he is a good, sweet-faced boy with lots of love to give. Give him a loving home and I assure you, Boulder will pay you back two-fold!

Sleek and shiny Auburn was rescued from a breeder - just after she weaned a litter of puppies. Still a puppy herself at less than 2 years old, this happy girl brings a lot of fun and energy to the party.

Lovely Auburn (who also answers to her original name Bella) has a beautiful soft and shiny coat and is clearly a fine black Lab. Smaller in stature, she's a petite little athlete who can run like the wind, and out retrieve her foster sisters in no time flat. She makes herself at home where ever it looks comfortable, and loves lots of attention. She is very affectionate and gets along with the other dogs and cats in her foster home, but doesn't hesitate barking at strangers.

Auburn enjoys fetching the ball and chewing on rawhides. She is a beautiful, smart, loving and spirited young Lab lady who would be a wonderful addition to any lucky family that gets her! It will be hard to see Auburn go... She's darling!

My name is Diamond and I am a sparkle in everyone's eyes when they meet me. I am about 1.5 years old, I am a dainty and feminine kind of girl. I love treats, and the ball (what a wonderful  invention). I am pretty good on the leash but my foster  mom is working on my little pulling issue and I am getting it. But you see if you have been in a confined area for months you would want to run too!!! I am potty trained and crate trained. I am pretty darn smart as  I can sit, lie down and shake hands with my human friends.

My foster mom says I have great house manners. I have never chewed up anything or stolen things that aren't mine. I have foster sisters and a foster brother I get along very well with. I love to play with children and to meet other dogs. I do settle down easily and I like to sleep and cuddle with my foster mom. I am not sure about cats because I have not seen one around here. I love to give kisses. I want to be your furever best friend, I will offer you many years of unconditional love.

Yours Truly,

Diamond

Carmen is a wonderful loving yellow Lab. She is very sweet and does really well with other dogs. She is potty trained and crate trained. She is still getting used to the crate and will cry for a little bit when she is put in there but she doesn't cry for that long. Carmen loves to swim and would be a great swimming partner for the summer! She loves to play and really loves to play fetch with toys. She does know how to sit when we tell her to and she seems to really enjoy it when we go for walks. She is doing really good on a leash!

Carmen is a great dog and is so pretty, she is a smaller Lab and she is very laid back. She does great riding in the car. She is a lot of fun to have around and she has a great personality! Carmen is ready to find her forever loving home!

Hi Y'all! Kansas here.  I am a big, lovable, easy-going, and extremely sweet boy.  If you're looking for an older (Not THAT old, though!  I'm only 6!), calm addition to your family, I am your guy.  I'm great in the house, no crating necessary, but I will crate if you really want me to.  I'm great with other dogs and kids and good on a leash.  I can be playful, too, and I like my toys.  Please check me out!

Michigan is a very friendly, well-mannered dog.  While he may not know any commands, he is a gentleman at all times and would never dream of doing anything inappropriate.  He loves to cuddle and thinks he is a lap dog.  He gets along well with children and other dogs.  He is house and crate trained and can be trusted to sleep outside his crate at night. Michigan loves walks and walks well on a leash.  He is just an overall adorable and loveable lab.

What are little Labradors made of?

Sugar and spice and everything nice...frogs and snails and puppy dog tails!

Jingle is a very typical Labrador puppy - intelligent, with an enthusiastic attitude toward life and a cheerful tail wagging nature - she has the uncanny ability to go from sweet and snuggly to a baby termite in one minute flat (or less)! Everything goes in her mouth (especially socks and slippers) - and she plays a great game of "U Can't Touch This!" She loves to play with her foster brother - a good game of chase, fetch, tug, wrestling, or sniffing out their next adventure! At the end of a hard tough day at play, she's ready to curl up on your lap to watch TV!

Jingle knows sit, is crate trained, and is learning to use the doggy door. She is a young Labrador (Lab's mature around 3 years of age), and will require lots of love, attention, exercise, and obedience training to grow into a happy, healthy well mannered adult!

Jingle would like a home filled with love, people, other dogs, and a box filled with toys that she can choose from to carry around in her mouth!

Give Jingle a little love, and she'll return it back ten fold.

Hi, my name is Purdue, but I answer to Buddy, and I would be more than happy to be your buddy.I love to know what you're doing, and I want to help, so I'll be right by your side.I do love to run, so when I'm out in the yard, I sometimes just have a good sprint around back and forth, so once I get a little better on a leash, I will be a great jogging partner.I love playing with my foster sister, and I am crate trained.I'm still learning what is mine and what isn't, but I'm a fast learner, and I'm getting to where I know the difference between toys and other things.I would love to come and love you.

Hi!  I'm Cesar, a handsome happy yellow lab.  I am around 3 years of age according to the vet.  I was a stray before I was rescued and found a nice foster family.  I love playing ball and competing with my foster sister for attention.    I also like to go on walks and have been using a gentle leader collar since my foster mom likes them.  I sleep all night in my crate and have learned to go in there now but I didn't like it at first.   I am very happy and would love to find a new home!

Cesar has done great since he has been with us.  He is getting more and more comfortable in our home every day.  He's getting in great shape after weeks of ball playing and daily walks.  He is now house trained though he has been using a doggie door at our house.  He's very soft and loveable.  He likes to be at your side.   He seems to learn quickly and knows how to sit and shake and is learning down and stay.  Cesar spends  about 8 hrs in the crate while we are at work without any problem.   I think Cesar would fit into any family situation , though he has not been exposed to small children or cats.

Phoenix is a sweet, beautiful 5 month old chocolate lab puppy.  She has lots of energy and loves to play with all her foster brothers and sisters.  She's crate trained and so far, no accidents in the house!  Phoenix is a joy to have around and is incredibly focused and alert - always waiting for her next command as she is very eager to please.  Phoenix would do well in a home with other dogs for companionship or with an active family.

Wyoming is a sweet girl that does wonderful in the car and has a perfect lab disposition. At one point she lived in a home with other
dogs with no issues to report. As you can see, she has a love for food and can use a little diet and exercise.

When she was found she had a bad break in her back left leg but is now in great shape. She now knows the name Bella.

She is a little sweetheart who loves to cuddle.Though she is smaller in stature, she has a huge heart.She will be by your side waiting for you to rub her belly.She loves to please and will learn your commands quickly.

She is cat friendly. In fact she ignores them all together because she knows that she is the boss.She would be a great addition to any family.She gets along well with anyone and will bring a smile to your face. Come see her! If you want a cuddle buddy, she is the right dog for you!

Tonto is a very sweet, mild mannered lab.  He is a big guy, about 88 pounds, but he is very gentle!  He is definitely not high energy and loves to just lay at your feet when you watch television. He is already housebroken and has good inside manners.  He is kind of needy for human attention and follows you around everywhere, but I think that will get better with time and as he gets comfortable in his new home.  He walks pretty well on a leash, and that should get better with time and practice as well.  If you are looking for a laid back companion, Tonto is your dog! 

Guillermo is a great dog to be around. He loves to play with nylabones, tennis balls  and rope toys. He is crate trained, potty trained, gentle with children and knows the sit and down commands. He is picking up other basic obedience commands and responds well to training. After a long walk and play time, he loves to be around you and will lay next to you wherever you are. Guillermo is socialized with his foster brothers but presently needs supervision when being introduced to a new dog on leash. Once properly introduced, Guillermo becomes fast friends with any dog and will play with them until the sun goes down. Guillermo is truly a sweet, good-natured yellow Lab and would do well in an environment filled with attention, activity and exercise.

Bio coming soon!

Hi there! My name's Rafael, (Rafi to my friends), and I would love to meet you. I am a sweet wiggly bundle of happiness, and I love meeting new friends. I am so grateful to DFWLRRC for saving me from the shelter, I was sick with skin problems and a cough, and now I am 110% better and ready for my furever home!

Let me tell you a little about myself. I enjoy long walks in the park, spending an evening at home with my family and my Kong, and adventures chasing my tennis ball in the back yard. I love love LOVE cuddling and being affectionate! I am excited to see you when you come home, and can't wait to play with you.

How about you? I am looking for a family who will play with me, cuddle me, and love me. My family could have another fun, playful dog too, that would be awesome! No cats though, we don't get along well.

Really, all I want is a best friend. Could that be you?

Beau has been in a foster home for a few days and is doing very well.  Once he is neutered this week, he should be good to go! 
Beau is a super friendly lab.....he can't walk by someone without having to meet them! 

He absolutely loves going for walks and is pretty good on a leash.  He will get better with time and training. So far I have noticed that he does well around small children, too.  He is a little too curious about cats, though.  A household with cats may have to keep a close watch on him until he loses interest.   He has been crated for 4 hours at a time with no problem (a little whining and barking at first).  He loves retrieving anything....tennis balls, footballs, frisbees, you name it!  He is somewhat of a counter surfer but responds well to "down."  He is almost housebroken and has had just a few accidents.  With a little more work, he should have that mastered as well.  He is very eager to please so he should be very easy to train.    Beau does one of the cutest things I have ever seen.....sometimes when he drinks out of the water bowl, he lays down and sticks his head in to drink.  It's so funny!  He has quite a personality. Beau is so sweet and loves to cuddle.....he will be a great addition to any family.

Lancaster is a lot like a new Ferrari, wonderful styling and looks but not for the first time owner. It's amazing how many people stop him on his daily walks to comment on how beautiful he is. Once his behavior catches up to his beauty he will be a great dog. He is a young two and needs somebody committed to EXERCISE and TRAINING. His prior family didn't set many boundaries so he is trying to learn a little more each day. 

Lancaster has lots of energy and love to share. Because of his size and energy he probably would not be the best addition to a family with small children. He likes other dogs, especially ones who want to play. He has learned English since he has been with us as he was in a Spanish only household. He is also potty trained now. He is getting better about walking on his leash but still pulls as he is strong willed. He is a dumpster diver and counter surfer so beware as he will eat anything. (He ate a half thawed pork chop one night.)

Call and come meet this handsome work in progress. Some things continue to get better with age, we believe Lancaster is one of those things.

Bio coming soon! Picante is undergoing heartworm treatment and will be available soon.

Penny is a lovable sensitive dog. She enjoys being around people - big and small. She is housebroken and loves long walks and playing with her foster brother. 

She may get a little excited when you first meet her, but settles down well with a little time, a kong or a nice belly rub. While she may not have learned all of her manners, she is eager to learn and has come a long way in just a short time. Her loving disposition is a real treat.

Dixie is a very sweet Lab with lots of energy and a beautiful black coat. She loves people, dogs, and gets along with our cat. She is fully potty trained and is used to a doggy door to go in and out during the day. At night, she sleeps in a small room on her doggie bed.

Dixie loves going on walks, playing fetch, swimming, and playing with other dogs. She does get very excited when she first meets people and may jump, but she will calm down with time and maybe a bone to chew on. She is good with our 1yr old baby, but she likes to lick him and sometimes her tail gets in the way and will knock into him. Overall, she is calm around him.  She does know the commands sit, lay down, fetch and come. Dixie has been dove hunting a few times and  is not gun shy. She can find birds and with more work she could make a great hunting companion. She is eager to please and will continue to get better with practice.

Dixie will be a great dog for someone that can give her the attention and exercise she deserves. 

If you are looking for a cuddle bug that will love your forever, then I am your girl!

Salsa is undergoing heartworm treatment and will be available soon.

Lovely Olympia is another excellent dog for Lab Rescue!

This classic chocolate Lab has blossomed into a wonderful family pet and a joy to her foster household. Upon arrival, Olympia's household manners were perfect, with no issues to report. Not only does she get along with kids, our yellow Lab and other dogs, she tolerates our two cats to the extent that she ignores them all together (which is fine with the cats!) 

We are thankful we've been able to give back to our favorite breed by fostering Olympia - who gets more beautiful every day - and reminds us so much of the Labs we've loved before. We are trying not to spoil her, but it's easy to offer her treats and extra snacks - as she tries to put on a few pounds and recover from an eye infection.

Olympia is loving, loveable, and everything you would want in a beautiful female Labrador Retriever...except maybe the retrieving part. This 2-year-old is still working on her "Fetch 101," but can run like the wind, which she does every day at our neighborhood park.

We printed "1 Lucky Dog" on Olympia's tag, but whoever gets to keep her forever is the lucky one indeed.

Wesley is a very athletic Lab on the smaller side (60 lbs) of the scale, but has a big heart and lots of drive. He is smart, both fully potty trained and crate trained and loves to play fetch - he can even catch a frisbee!

He is a smart dog, knows sit, stay and down and is working on shake. He will do best in an active home with plenty of play and exercise. Previously lived in a home with children, gets along great with kids and other dogs. Is very interested in cats, but not aggressive.

Hi! My name is Raddison and I'm 4 months old. I love other dogs and play nicely with my foster brothers and sisters. My foster mom and dad are teaching me to sit (I have this down pat!) and no jumping (well, this is a bit harder for me because I get so excited when I see them!). I'm completely crate trained and working on the house training part - but I'm still a puppy and I need a lot of positive reinforcement (that's a big word!) and lots of tummy rubs.

My foster mom says that I would benefit from obedience classes - I think I would love school. My ideal forever home would be an active family with or without another dog and no small children (you know, the jumping part...). I need a lot of attention and patience, but some day I'll grow up to be a wonderful family pet.

Do you think you want to love me forever?

Hi, I'm Simon and I have soooo much love to give. I was found with my brother as an outside dog, and I did not have many house manners or knowledge of the proper ways to act when inside a home. But just to prove what a smart learner I am, I made sure to start learning quickly. 

I am a wonderful 75lb. chocolate boy. I am house broken, love kids, run with a pack of four other dogs, walk good on a leash, and do not eat the furniture (always a big plus in a house full of dogs). My foster parents say that I have a few puppy issues to work through since I never had the opportunity to be a pup. I love to grab things that do not belong to me and then wait for my foster dad to start the game of chase. Not only does it keep me occupied, but foster mom gets a good laugh as she watches him chase me around the house. But it is all just in search of your attention and my foster parents are helping me to understand what I should and should not play with, I am just so excited to have toys around me.

I have been on heartworm treatment for several weeks and now I am getting rid of some pent up energy and getting used to my foster families schedule, but I am excited to find my furever home where I can go on daily walks and spend my down time snuggled with my new family. I hope you are ready for this sweet chocolate kissy monster...a new face is always an adventure for me!

Simon has recently completed heartworm treatment. Give a Lab a new leash on life - buy your candle today!

Hello you lab-lovin' people!!

My name is Mercurio. My foster mom calls me "Merc". Guess she's too lazy to say my whole name, but I don't mind...

So a little about ME!!....

I am SUCH a good boy and handsome too!!! I am about 2 yrs old, yellow, house broken, and crate trained. I LOVE to cuddle with my foster mom when she's sitting in her recliner working on her laptop. I will ask to come up but usually it's a very short span of time before I ask and when I get up in the chair.

Since the weather has been so nice, when foster mom is home, she'll leave the door open to the yard. I like to go to the gate and keep watch of the goings-on. If anything is amiss, I will let you know! I'm a great alert dog!

I would love to have another dog to play with. I get along really well with my foster sister. I love girl dogs, but I need a little bit of an introduction to the boys. I get along with them after we've done all the sniffing and turning.

Something to know about me is that I do not care for cats. I have a little too strong an interest in them. If you have a kitty in the house, I may not be the dog for you. Also, do NOT let me out of a secured area/fenced yard. I like to go exploring and I will ignore your attempts to cajole me back home. Open doors are a no-no for me and my new home should be aware of that idiosyncrasy of mine.

I love to go places with my foster mom.  I get so excited when she's getting ready to take me to a Meet-n-Greet.  I hop right up in to the back of the truck and into the crate. Treats help too!

I said I was crate trained and I'm SO good in my crate. Foster mom will feed me in it so that there are no conflicts about food with any other dogs. I go to the crate and dance around until foster mom gets the door open. I run in and turn around ready to eat! I'm a member of the clean plate (bowl) club! Foster mom finally has me at a good healthy weight. I was a little skinny before but I look good now!!

When I'm not so excited, like right after foster mom comes home, I can gently take a treat from her mouth. Just a little kiss, if you will! She's trying to get me to shake hands on command...but it's a work in progress.  I will sit before I get a treat!
I love to chew on nylabones and tennis balls. If you're not careful, I'll pull the fuzz off a tennis ball. Foster mom gave me a kong a few times and I took a hunk out of it. Do keep your things picked up or I may come by and pick them up for you. I have picked up foster mom's shoe one or two times. I mostly do it for attention - boy does it work!

I would love a daily walk. Just a little activity to help me stay healthy. You can come too!! I love company on a walk!!

If you think that I would be a good fit for your family, please ask to meet me.  I'm usually at our weekly Meet-n-Greets so come on out!!!

Hi! I'm Ike. I haven't told my foster mom much about my past life, but I was found in a shelter, and had a yucky case of mange. Don't worry it is not contagious. Now that the vets have helped me with that, my hair is growing back to a shiny coat! 

Things are great here at the foster house. I get to eat, play with other dogs, and go on LONG walks. My foster mom says the walks help me to calm down in the house. And most days they do, but I still love to play! I get along with the other dog in the house, and I love to meet new people. 

When can I meet you?

Bio coming soon!

Luna (who answers to the name Lily) is a beautiful and smart 6 year old.  She is a petite girl who loves to go for walks and be petted.  She is old enough to be over all of those bad puppy and young dog behaviors, but young enough to have more than enough energy for any family!  She is completely housebroken, walks well on a leash, and can even be trusted to spend a whole day roaming the house (well, more like sleeping on the bed) while her family is gone.  No crates needed for this super well behaved girl - though she will go in one, if she is told to.
Luna gets along great with other dogs, though she is more interested in people as playmates.  She loves dog treats more than anything in the world, but doesn't beg for people food.  Her only habit that needs some work is her love of greeting people by trying to put her paws on their shoulders - she's small enough that it's not intimidating to adults, but could be startling to small children.
Luna is a wonderful dog who will make a great addition to any family - with or without another dog, people who work or stay home - she just needs love, play time, and a soft rug to sleep when you're busy!

Calling all lab lovers!!!  Celeste here and am I ever excited to be looking for my home!  I am a petite little lady (less than 60 pounds!) with an enormous heart and loving eyes that will melt you right away.  I'm still young but my foster parents say I do a great job at controlling my energy levels, even in the house.  I'm fully house trained and crate trained but can already be trusted to hang out in the house for a little while by myself out of the crate!  I am a lover of humans but even more so I LOVE other dogs.  I love to lick them, play tug of war with my rope, wrestle...anything really as long as another dog is involved!  So far as I can tell children are fun but I can say I am not a fan of cats or other small furry creatures.  My foster family is learning more about me so I'll have them send another update soon!

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! My name is Gavin and I had the BEST Christmas ever. I got to celebrate with my new foster family and they gave me presents and everything. I am one lucky dog. I even got to visit Santa and when he asked what I wanted for Christmas I told him a "furever family" would be the perfect gift. He said he would look very hard for just the right family for me and I am so excited because I know I will be hearing from them soon.

My foster mom says I am so sweet. I love to walk on the leash with a gentle leader and I already know several commands. I don't have to be crated because I am trustworthy in the house. I LOVE my foster brother. He is a big yellow Lab that mom and dad adopted this year. They told me adopted dogs are the best.

I had a run-in with a car when I was younger, so I have a funny little hump on my back. But it doesn't slow me down, I can take long walks and am happy to snuggle with my people when they invite me on the bed. Mom says I should see a veterinarian to determine if I should jog or run with my new owner. In the meantime, I am happy to chase a ball and bring it back. I love to sit close to my people and let them pet me until my coat shines. Life is good!

I'd love to meet you-give me a call and we can arrange a play date!

Amanda (aka the chocolate Princess) was owner surrendered by a family that got a Lab puppy and quickly relegated her to the backyard. After realizing a Lab puppy was too much, and a Lab puppy left alone in the backyard was unkind - they brought her to the shelter.

Amanda has been exposed to dogs both small and large, likes cats, and is a typical playful Lab in need of structure, exercise and a loving home indoors.

With some basic attention she is on her way to being an ideal Lab for a great home!

Hi my name is Tinsel. I have been with my foster family over the holidays and I'm having a wonderful time with them and their two Labs.

I have learned a lot in only 10 days and am quickly learning and responding to; come, sit, down, shake, and drop it. I would have to say that I'm 80 plus percent potty trained and only need a another week or so to figure it out completely. Plus...I have learned how to go in and out dog doors although, I'm still working on the details of going potty when I do exit the dog door. I rather enjoy just playing with the bushes and sunbathing.

I have tons of toys to play with and do pretty well with "no" to chewing on anything that is not a toy. I have already picked up on "fetch" with my toys as well as balls. My favorite toy is a stuffed polar bear that is my size and I challenge it daily to tumble and tackle drills. I do pretty great on a leash for a pup my age. I love a good rousing chase and wrestle with my big Lab buddies even though they both are 4 times my size.

Not to be conceited and I'm just repeating what my foster family says but in a nutshell, "I am awesome, adorable and super smart!"  I will not be available for Meet N Greets  until after my second round of shots. This will be around the middle of January, but my family said that they should be able to introduce me to approved adopters before then.  Fill out your application and get approved to come see me and see if we are a perfect fit!

Wanted: A Good Home.

Low maintenance, SWF seeks loving home to call her own. I am fun-loving and energetic; love fetching tennis balls, going for walks, riding with you in the car, or just snuggling-up in front of the TV. I make a great companion and will listen for hours without interrupting. I am polite, well-mannered, and can be trusted on my own if you are gone for the day. I love children and dogs, but prefer not to be around cats. 

Brindi was treated for heartworms while in the DWLRRC program. Give a Lab a new leash on life - buy your candle today!

Hi! I'm Cedric, a 19 month old handsome black Lab. I am crate trained and house trained. I can sit and shake hands. My foster mom has been working on stay and come. I love to go for walks and do best with a gentle leader since I am very strong. I can fetch a ball and love to play with toys.  I have been having fun playing with my foster sister and other friends who visited us for Turkey Day. I would love to meet new families and find a new home. I am looking forward to attending the Meet and Greets coming up soon. Hope to see you there!

Cedric is a big beautiful boy with a shiny soft coat. He is well behaved and doesn't seem to jump on people or try to counter surf. He loves to be at your side. We trust him with free run of the house and doggie door when we are home. On work days, he has even spent up to 8 hours in a crate and is fine. Cedric would make a great pet and has been exposed to several other dogs without problems. He has not been around children at our house.  He responds quickly to his name and probably would be easy to train. We have thoroughly enjoyed having him with us.

They call me 'Mellow Yellow'...
But, my given name is Jake and I am a good dog.

I am yellow like sunshine and have the personality to match. My foster mom says I am a smart, gentle, and well-behaved cuddle bug. I am completely house trained and crate trained, and I ride perfectly in the backseat of the car. I get along incredibly well with children and dogs, especially the ladies. ;)

I am truly a well behaved gentleman and a looker to boot! It's hard to see from my photos, but trust me, I have great lab features: big blockhead, large floppy ears, broad muscular shoulders, lean triangle body, and a thick otter tail. What's more, my golden coat is super soft and silky, and I appear to be a light shedder. Currently 70 lbs., I am a gentle giant, but I would probably benefit from a few more pounds on my tall frame. (Which should be easy given my love of food!)

I am exceptionally quiet, my favorite past time indoors is to watch what everyone else is doing. I follow my foster family around and love to curl up for a good nap at their feet. (I am an excellent foot warmer!) My favorite outdoor activity is running or going on long walks. I currently take two walks a day mostly because I am so good on a leash that my foster mom, who is rather petite, can easily walk my foster sister and me together by herself!

While I love to play and can be active, I am very calm a good part of the day. I readily go into my crate, but after only two days with foster family, I earned their trust and now have free run of the house with no problems. I know how to come, sit, lay down, and I am learning to sit and stay until I am given the "ok" to eat. The one bad behavior I am working on is jumping. I am working very hard on this and am making progress.

So you are probably wondering how such a handsome "mellow yellow" like me is still available? Well, I am new to DFWLRR. I would love to find my forever home. Think we might be a match?

Mattie is like a gem in the rough! She is very sweet, but needs the basic young Lab work like help with jumping etc. She is the typical young Lab that didn't get attention the first year. Some structure, exercise, and proper affection will help this eager to please little girl tremendously. 

Mattie crates nicely for a treat and will do great with someone that wants a smaller Lab. With a basic obedience class this quick learner will excel.

Mattie is waiting for a chance to show off her charm - come meet her today!

Tammy here and am I ever excited to find a forever home! I'm an absolutely gorgeous young lady that just loves people and other dogs. I've got this cute way of nuzzling family members to ask for a head scratch or belly rub, but I'm great about not being too intrusive. I am housebroken and have nice manners that could be even better with some attention and work. I know my basic commands like sit, stay and how to retrieve and my foster parents say that considering how smart I am, new tricks and commands should be easy to teach me!

I am still adjusting to my new life of love and can be skiddish sometimes but I think once I find my forever home I'll settle in great. I am very attentive to what is going on in the world and oftentimes catch myself gazing in the mirror at my pretty reflection. I love to look out the window and take in the neighborhood but I'm not much of a barker.

Above all I am a big fan of taking walks and my foster parents are always commenting on what a natural I am. I know I am supposed to stay by their sides and the only time I stray is to speed up a little if someone runs by that's going faster. For some reason this always makes my foster parents laugh but really I'm just helping them get a little more exercise!

If I got to pick the perfect home it would probably be one without cats. It's not that I don't like them; I just don't know how to behave myself when they are around. I really love children, especially licking their faces, but need to learn not to nibble when we play together. As I said before, I also love other dogs. My energy level is medium and if I'm in a house with a younger dog you'll likely find us playing half the time and lounging together the other half!

In summary, I am a beautiful young lady whose charm and intelligence make me a perfect fit for a special home. Could it be yours?

Rookie is a smart, cute, lovable male Lab who is on the smaller side - about 60 lbs. He is around 4 years old, smart and full of love and energy (though he does a great imitation of a couch potato!).

Rookie LOVES his furry squeaky toys and usually has one in his mouth - unless he's sleeping and then it's right beside him. Rookie will take a fuzzy toy with him everywhere and usually does. He likes to have them all over the house and yard. His foster family is trying to teach him to retrieve the toys and put them back in the toy basket. So far, they are able to get him to retrieve the toys and bring them - getting them in the basket is the next step!  Rookie likes to play catch with a ball or Frisbee and like to go on walks.

Rookie gets along very well with people and dogs alike and wants to be near them - he isn't a fan of spending time alone. Rookie is a quick study and really wants to please. He has good manners and knows basic commands like sit, down, and wait. He is learning how to drop (a toy) and shake. Rookie is house trained, crate trained, and sleeps all night in the bedroom with his foster family. Rookie has never had an accident in the house nor has he shown any destructive behavior.

Rookie is  a little bit afraid of thunder and lightening. His reaction to storms is to shake, pant and sometimes pace. Most times he ends up curling into the smallest ball possible and waits out the storm. As long as he has a person or a dog close by, he does just fine.

If you are looking for a dog who is fun, playful, smart, cute, loveable, and who will think you are his everything, Rookie is the right choice. He will do best in a home with at least one dog (who is unaffected by thunderstorms) and with people who are active, loving and understanding when he is frightened.

Auggie does a tap dance with all 4 feet when he sees a toy or ball. This compact 62 pound handsome yellow lab is ready to play. He even throws the ball back to you to keep the game going. Kids, dogs, and new folks are all great with him. Auggie is good on a leash and is learning that going into the crate is not punishment. Come see this easy going fellow for he is ready to be home for the holidays.

Timber is a big yellow boy. All heart, he makes friends wherever he goes. My eighty year old neighbor and he are best friends. Every day, they meet at the fence and Timber gets petted and gives his kisses. Timber is well behaved inside and out, he doesn't mind his crate and goes right in. He knows to sit and literally jumps down when given the command. He loves to play with his foster sister, they run together in the back yard until they are both tired out. 

My foster mom thinks it's great fun to take pictures of us wearing these antlers and hats.  I figure if it makes her happy why not,  so I put it on and strike my best pose for the camera.  She says I am the best boy in the whole world.  I think it's more fun to play with the antlers with my sister, but my foster mom didn't agree and she put them away until our next photo session. 

Timber is just waiting for his new family to find him, so come on over!

My name is Jana, I am a 2 year old who loves fun. I like to play chase the ball, the toy rope and with the cat (maybe that isn't so fun for the cat, but I think it is). I would do well in a household with other dogs, but no cats. I really like to be with the humans, they are so fun. I will sit at your feet or crawl right up on the couch with you if you let me. I am getting better on my walking, I still pull a little on the leash, my foster parents are working on it though. I am house broken and crate trained. I will bark in my crate though when you come home from work because I am so excited to see you.

If you love a fun, playful and snuggling girl please talk to my foster parents about me for more information.

Hi there!  My name is Casie and I am one sweet, gentle girl.  I have been taken care of for the last seven months by a very nice lady who had three other dogs, and, as much as she loved me she just could not keep me. My original owner couldn't give me the time and attention every Lab craves.

I am about 7 years old and I am kind, extremely loving and love being around "my people." I love to go for walks and I don't pull on the leash, which is a good thing because I am a very big girl. I have a thyroid issue (and I am sticking to that story). Seriously, I do take thyroid medicine, and will probably always need it. I weigh 95 pounds, and I am now on a diet to slim down for my new family.

I know sit, stay, lay down and would love to shake your hand. I do not jump up on furniture, counter surf or chew on stuff. I am completely house broken and can be trusted in the house all day long without being crated. I just sort of  "hang out" waiting for you to come home. What a wonderful welcome I will give you. You will see that however bad your day was I will make you smile.

I sleep quietly next to your bed - none of that "guy" stuff like snoring. I will get up early or be just as happy to sleep in. 

Please come meet me, I promise you it will be love at first sight.

Signed,

You New Best Friend

Casie

Diesel is a sweet 75 pound boy.  He loves to play and to snuggle, and knows when it's time for both, which is pretty good for a two year old!  He is completely housebroken and goes in his crate easily.  In fact, if you stay up past the time he thinks is appropriate, he will put himself to bed in the crate, and grunt at you to close the door for him!  He walks really well on a leash, and loves exercise.

Diesel does great with other dogs, and loves to play chase through the house or yard with them.  His absolute favorite thing is to go in the back yard and scratch his back on the grass, with his belly to the sky.   He also has a habit of jumping straight in the air like a circus dog whenever he is happy.

Diesel will do great in a home with or without another dog.  He is great with kids, and really just loves people and having fun!

I'm an 86 pound fox-red 5 year old boy with a shiny coat and eyes and nose that match my coloring. I've been truly spoiled by my former mom as I am up to date on all my vet stuff.

I went to doggie day care a lot, so I am used to other dogs and adult caregivers. My foster mom has two other dogs and we play so well. I've had no problems with my Lab foster brother, and I like to play a lot with my foster sister, who thinks she runs the house. I usually let her have her way, but am able to stand my ground and take up for myself when I need to.

I let my foster brother have all the bones he wants because he is so nice to me. I love my foster mom's boys,  and am still learning about active kids and what all their noise and games mean. I like to kiss them and catch balls for them. I am still learning and trying not to get too nervous when they get loud and rowdy. I love walks and get really excited when the leashes come out and we go for a run with my foster dad. I tether well to my foster brother and sister and keep up nicely. My foster sister is very fast but with practice, I could beat her! 

I would like a home with children over the age of 8, or just adults and another dog that is not concerned about being the boss all the time. I might do best with someone who is around a lot or can leave me with another dog. We aren't sure how I would do with cats but my former mom thinks I might chase them. I am potty-trained and have had no accidents in the house.

My foster family tells me I am wonderful and sweet and am looking for just the perfect forever family who will love me and appreciate me for the beautiful boy I am.

Theo is a beautiful 80+ lb chocolate lab who was rescued from a local shelter with his brother Simon.   Although Theo was a rather difficult dog to foster at first, he has improved remarkably in the month that his current foster has had him. 

The good:  Theo is housebroken, neutered, not at all destructive in the house, is very docile and does not require alot of exercise, loves children and does very well with them, does well with other dogs and cats, does not counter surf, does not beg for people food, and walks well on a leash. 

The not so good:  He has a little separation anxiety.  He has improved quite a bit since his current foster has had him but he will take a little more work so that he can get over his fear of being left again.  That being said, Theo would work best in a home where his people are not gone 8+ hours a day.  He would thrive in a home where someone is home most of the time (gone a few hours a day seems to work okay). 

Theo will melt your heart as he is such a sweet dog!  With some formal obedience training and a family willing to work through his fear of being left again, he will reward you with so much love and affection.  He is so worth it!

Gracey was found abandoned in a retail parking lot. Please check back once she has been in her foster home a few days for more information on her personality and likes/dislikes.

Her breed status cannot be determined so she will be available for $225.

I am so excited about life now that my leg is all healed.  Let me tell you about myself.  I am your fairly typical Lab puppy. I love to play with people, dogs, and the cat (although he doesn't really like me, maybe I am not best for a cat household). I love to chew on things, shoes are my favorite but my foster mom is working on that and I know that I love to chew on chew toys as well, I am easily redirected. I enjoy my crate, but much rather prefer your company but I am okay for in a crate if you have to go to work. After I am done playing I will happily snuggle up at your feet, or if you let me I will climb on the couch or bed to be by you.

Please ask my foster parents for more information about me if you are interested in learning more about me.

Ollie is a handsome, sweet boy with all the qualities of a great lab. Medium energy dog who does well on a leash and is submissive by nature. He has learned sit (working on stay) and is crate trained.

Ollie gets along with our dogs and our cats. He likes to play fetch and is learning his boundaries inside the house (no counter surfing or marking allowed). 

He is healthy and ready to meet potential adopters!

Hi my name is Glista, and I am a loveable and cuddly little girl that came to my new foster home very under weight and sick, but I have now gained 6 pounds and am feeling like a normal fun loving playful puppy.

I really enjoy playing with my foster brothers, we pull on the rope together and they let me crawl all over them . My foster sister will play with me sometimes, but she really doesn't pay much attention to me. I love my food and can't wait for my foster mom to feed me. I stay in my kennel all night without crying and have not had any accidents in the crate for a week now. I  have been working on housebreaking and am doing really well.

I love playing ball with my foster parents because it is really fun. I love to sit and cuddle with my foster parents or anyone that will cuddle with me. There are these small humans that come and play with me everyday and take me for walks. I love being outside with the humans. 

I got a clean bill of health from the doctor last week and am now looking for my forever home. Please be my forever family and bring me to your home.

Hi - I am Dunkin and you will definitely want to meet me. My family took me to a shelter when they moved and couldn't take me and this made me very sad. To make matters worse, I had to be treated for heartworms, so I have been through a lot these last few weeks.

I weigh about 70 lbs, but could use a few pounds on my slight frame to make me feel a little better. I like walks and playing with toys and I think I will like playing with other dogs once I have more practice. I have gotten used to my foster brother now and we play some and have a blast. I am very well mannered and house broken. I love children and I have been pretty friendly to my foster mom's two house cats. I am not crazy about my crate and have had great fun playing games with my foster mom when she tries to get me in there.

If you are looking for a faithful companion and best friend, I would love to meet you. I hope that you will check me out at a Meet N Greet sometime soon. In the beginning, I will need a lot of attention and love to help me get over the sadness of losing my family, while I bond with you in my new forever home.

See you soon!

Kidd is the big boy out of the litter. He weighed in at 18 lbs and is solid muscle. He is a curious, go getter. He loves to play with the big dogs and chase the kids around. He is learning to play fetch with his tennis ball, but doesn't always bring it right back...something else usually catches his eye to check out first. He is doing well with the crate and house training. He has quite the shoe fetish and takes them straight to his dog bed.

*Breed status cannot be confirmed. Kidd is available for adoption for $225.

Kissmet was found by a very good samaritan with her puppies in a school yard  after she had been dumped in the hot weather, taken home on a Sunday night and then to vet by this terrific passerby. A small rescue group helped but had no foster, so they contacted DFWLRRC for assistance.

Kudos to the good samaritan, the rescue group, our volunteer for the photos, our incoming team for taking quick action, our foster relations team for finding a great foster, and the foster for opening her home to them.

When last seen Kissmet was admiring herself in the reflection from the appliances in the guest cottage where she and her pups are lodged. They will be well loved, well air conditioned, and well socialized---a long way from a dusty schoolyard in the heat.

Olivia is a petite, sweet Labrador. She has excellent house manners-she is potty trained, crate trained and knows some basic commands including sit, stay and come. She is very affectionate and loves being around humans. 

Olivia is a calm girl who does well with kids. She can also be trusted in the house when no one is home. Olivia would love to find her forever home soon and is hoping to find just the right family to spoil her with love!

Dear Future Forever Family,

I am Opal and I can't wait to meet you!!  I guess I should tell you a little bit about myself.  I'm a slim, trim petite lab girl, a little on the smaller side, but what I lack in size, I make up for in personality.  I don't mean to boast, but I'm pretty darn awesome.  I love people and adore giving them kisses.  I have the softest fur coat you've ever felt and I never mind when you want to pet me.  In fact, I long for it.  Please love me and don't ever stop!  I'm energetic, but not TOO energetic.  When it's time to calm down, I can definitely do that.  I do this neat trick that my foster family says they've never seen a lab do before.  When I really want attention, I sit up on my hind legs in a begging position.  My foster family says it's the cutest thing.  I don't think its being vain to agree.  I am awfully cute, if I do say so myself, and my foster family is always going on about my beautiful brown eyes.  I would love to be up on the furniture, but if you'd rather not, I'm okay with that.  My foster family reminds me when I forget, and then I jump down really quickly.  But if you're amenable to sharing your sofa or bed, just invite me up, and trust me I will take you up on that offer quickly.  I don't counter surf and haven't had any accidents in the house.  I'm not crazy about the crate, but if I must, I will.  I have to admit that I'm a little bit jealous when my foster family pays attention to my foster sisters instead of me.  I like to poke my head in and remind them that I, Opal, am still here.  I probably wouldn't mind a brother or sister, and I don't mind sharing, but if you wanted an only dog to give all your love and attention to, I think I could do that too.  I don't know about cats, my foster family only has dogs in their house, but I don't mind their smaller dog at all.  As for rides in the car, YES!  I would love to go with you everywhere you go.  Please know that I am so anxious to meet you.  I love my foster family and I know they love me too, but I want a forever home.  Please say you want to meet me, I promise to win you over.

Soon to be yours,

Opal the dog

Hi, I'm Bo. I'm such a sweet boy; I'm not sure how I ever ended up at that shelter.

I am a big boy, very playful and active, and just love a good game of fetch. I'm also happy to lie near you, once all the excitement has settled down. I love my toys, and slobber on them all equally.

I am very strong, and may have hunted in a previous life. Either way, I'd make a great hunting dog with some training. I'm crate-trained and house-trained. I love playing with my foster parents two dog and their three boys. I'm really good with kids and other dogs. My manners are improving, and I know the "sit," "down," "out," and "kennel up" commands. We are working on a few others. 

If you are looking for a great companion dog, I could be the one!

A good day in Gus's world would be eat-play-run-snuggle-sleep-repeat. He is 99% perfection and 1% needs special care.  Gus is an vey active dog that needs more than the average amount of exercise and stimulation. He has been working with a trainer and is great in the house and loves people.

Gus needs special care though around other animals and would do best in a home with no animals or a very submissive female. Gus would do well with a runner or active person who is capable and willing to go through advanced handling and obedience. With the proper handling he will make a great companion for the right person. Training support is available with his adoption. If you have an interest in this sweet dog with some special needs, please contact us for more information.

Hi - my name is Jacksboro! I am a 3 year old male chocolate Lab. I think that I am a lap dog, but my foster mom keeps telling me that I am too big for that!

I like to go for  walks and make an occasional stop to smell the roses, but for the most part I walk well on a leash. I am well behaved, but could use a little more obedience training so I can learn to shake and stay. I am having fun playing with my foster sister. I haven't been around any children at my new home but I would love to try to play with some.  

Jacksboro is a very sweet, calm, handsome dog with a beautiful chocolate coat. He loves being petted and likes to sit at your feet. He is housebroken. He seems like he would make a great, loving, companion dog for any family.

When I met my foster Mom and Dad I was super skinny and all my bones were showing! I'm now gaining weight, learning manners and recovering from being heart worm positive. The shelter gave me the name of "Shaggy" and I am a handsome amber red!

I love my foster home and foster sisters! We play all the time and I love to kiss and play chase. Besides snuggling and helping with the warm laundry,  my favorite thing to do is go for car rides with my folks! Dad says that I have great car manners! I've even learned to sit, lay down and play fetch in less than a month! I listen well and am easily trained. I really like kids and love to be with people! Mommy calls me "lover boy" because I always want to snuggle with everyone! 

I have lotsa love to give and would be a great companion in any home setting. I really want to find my forever home. If you think you could use some of my love and want to adopt me, please call my foster parents or come meet me for yourself at a Meet-N-Greet. Can't wait to meet you!

If you are looking for a very sweet, innocent and affectionate boy to be your furever friend, pick me!!!  My name is Bonofacio aka Bono and  I am about 2years old and I love to cuddle and my favorite is the belly rubs.  You can do that for hours.  I have a good appetite and am very food motivated. My favorite food happens to be Royal Canin Labrador food. I am weighing in at about 70lbs.  I pose for pictures as you can see.  I love my wire crate and go right in but please no plastic crates for me.  I am not much of a barker except when I need to warn my fosters when someone comes in the house.  I am a personal alarm clock.   I ride well in the car. I am potty trained, I am pretty darn smart, I have learned to sit, shake and lie down on command.  I have a lot to learn but I already have learned so much especially since my entire 2 years of life were spent outside in the backyard with my sister with very little human interaction and socialization.  I get along well with cats, children and other dogs especially the female kind.  My foster sisters love me and we play until we are tired.  I learned to swim this summer and fetch the ball.  My foster mom took me to a doggie pool party at Hawaiian Falls Water Park and boy was that fun.   I love rawhide chewies but I shred those rubber squeaky toys.  I go crazy trying to get the cheesy stuff and treats out of my kong toy.  So if your ready for a fun loving companion or family member I'd love to be yours.                   Sincerely, Bono

Tenely is a beautiful black girl about 2 to 3 years old.  Her family had to give her up when she tested positive for heartworms and they could not afford the treatment.

The first day or so she was a barky dog.  Since she has now settled down into our household and all the turf wars seem to be over, it is obvious that she came from a home where she was well loved and cared for.

Tenely is blind in her left eye, so be sure to throw the ball so she can easily see it with her right eye but this does not slow her down a bit.  She loves to play with our big boy, Rascal,  but has to mostly stay in the house right now because of her heartworm treatment.  She does not destroy soft toys and came with some toys.  Of course, our house looks like a day care for 2 year olds - toys all over the floor and gates everywhere.

Tenely needs another family, preferably with kids.  She is housebroken, crate trained, and is a joy to have around.  She has a beautiful, shiny, black coat and is just the sweetest girl you would ever want to meet.

If you are looking for a family dog, Tenely is your girl.

Tenelyl is not available right now while she undergoes heartworm treatment.

Hi everyone.  J-Si here.   Boy what an exhausting and exciting day I had!  I got to go to the KISS FM Kidd Kraddick in the Morning Show and meet my namesake.   I had a lot of fun.   I got to curl up on  J-Si's lap and with all that petting and loving, I just slept like a baby.    Now that I'm older, I'm starting to show my personality.  My favorite thing to do? SLEEP!    I dont know if pups get any cuter than me...you'll just have to come meet me for yourself!  I'll be available for adoption at the end of September.    Until then....keep looking up cause that's where it all is!   I am avaialble for adoption and ready to meet you.

Hi! Xena here! I am a mature, independent and loving black Lab looking for a forever home. I had been shuffled around a bit and forced to live outside by my previous owner and I have to tell you that is not the life that I prefer to lead. I truly love the comforts of home...inside the home! Trust me, I will go outside whenever you tell me to, but I really enjoy coming back into the cozy confines of a house!

My foster mom marvels at my appetite (I am definitely a member of the "Clean Plate Club") and at my manners (I never get up on furniture unless I am invited). I enjoy a good walk and I love to play with my foster sister but mostly I just want to be loved. I will sit at your feet and touch you with my paw just to be close and I so appreciate it when you pet me and hug me. My foster mom wants you to know that I am perfectly house trained (no "accidents" from me!) and if I have a fault it is that I get very excited around my food and treats and I am not delicate when taking a treat from your hand. My foster mom thinks that perhaps I was neglected and that is why I am so forceful when being hand fed. I am trying to do better in that area and I know that I could learn whatever you want to teach me!

Please help me find my forever home...I know that you and I could become best friends!

Love, Xena

Hi! My name is Lapka and I am 2 years old. My foster mom wondered how I got such an unusual name. She finally decided it was Labradorian for "beautiful girl". I was kind of sad and scared when I first got here but I am happier now. I have two foster brothers to play with (although one of them is a little jealous of me and I am jealous of him). I love the food and my very own dog bed. I hope I have a bed of my own in my new forever home.

My foster mom says I'm a good girl cause I sit and shake hands and I mind her when she tells me to do something . I bark when someone rings the doorbell (just doing my job) and sometimes I bark at the tv. Those doorbells fool me all the time! I am completely house trained- no accidents! I have free rein of the house and I don't get into anything at all! Of course, I've outgrown the chewing stage.That's for puppies and I'm a big girl. Don't get me wrong- I have lots of energy and love to go on walks- I get SO excited when foster Mom or Dad says "leash". I do splash a little water on the floor when I drink. I don't mean to- I'm just in a hurry to go play but my foster mom keeps a little towel nearby to tidy up.

I am very healthy too- no bad worms and I have a slim and trim figure. Anyhow, I'm really a sweet girl and I am so happy to be part of a family -that's my favorite thing in the whole world. I would love to lay my head on your lap and look up at you with my big brown, adoring eyes and fall asleep. 

PS- Lapka would be a great addition to a family and a wonderful companion. She is well mannered and used to being an inside dog. I think she would do best as an only dog or in a home with only one other dog.

Big Al is a cuddle bug.  He loves to be held and lay in your lap.  He is also a big fan of treats and knows when he is entitled to receive one.  He just sits down and waits for you to remember. ( The vet got a kick out of him the other day.  He got his vaccine and then sat down and stared at the treat bag, waiting.  He got his treat and then went on about his business.)  Big Al likes to play with the other dogs, but if given a choice would probably choose his human over another dog.  He has been around cats, kids, and other dogs and is fine with all.  He has started on his house training and crate training and is moving along nicely.

*Note breed status cannot be confirmed.  Big Al is available for adoption for $225.

Hi, my name is Rocky and although things were rough the first few months of my life, I never lost the sweet personality that comes with every chocolate Lab pup. Even though I only have one eye, I think I have always been that way, I am just as active and fun loving as every other Lab. I love to play with other pups my size-I am great at wrestling. When it comes to humans, I just cant get enough snuggles. I love to lay my head on the console while you're driving so I can be sure to get a few pets during the ride. 

I am your typical young pup-I have lots of energy and need someone that can exercise me regularly to wear off this puppy energy. I am eager to learn and food motivated. I know how to sit and am crate trained and potty trained. If you're looking for a buddy that is both playful and cuddly, I'm your guy.

Donatello is a very sweet boy, very happy and loving. I've taken to calling him "Wiggles" because he wiggles with happiness when he walks towards me. He would like to have a dog to play with, but most of all would like to have a family that loves him. 

He is housebroken and crate trained. Donatello doesn't jump, but still needs some basic training.  I'm sure he wouldn't mind children, but bounds about and may knock someone over so children under 6 years of age are not recommended. 

Donatello is a gorgeous boy, you simply must come meet him!

Sweet, petite and loves to eat! That's how I'd describe myself.   I'm named after Kellie, from the Kidd Kraddick and the Morning Show.  I'm full of spunk and love to get attention.     I'm a beautiful girl looking for love......and I hope that I've come to the right place.    I know...it's a lifetime committment..so maybe we could at least go out for dinner? I am avaialble for adoption and ready to meet you.

*Note breed status cannot be confirmed.  Kellie is available for adoption for $225.

Sigmund is such a sweetheart.  He is housebroken and we are working on crate training (he's getting the hang of it).  He already knows sit and shake and we are working on his leash training.  He is a very mellow dog for being just 1 1/2 years old!  He is very laid back and just likes to be by your side.  He is a big strong boy, though, so he would not be best for homes with small children.  And, of course, he loves water!   Once you meet this big guy, you will fall in love.....he's wonderful!

In case you hadn't noticed, I'm a little different from the other pups in my litter..I'm chocolate!   I'm named after Shanon, the producer on the Kidd Kraddick and the Morning Show.    I got the chance to meet her and she just loved and loved and loved on me!  I am so fluffy and cute.   I tend to do my 'own' thing and prefer to be in my favorite spot...on the nice cool floor.   If you're looking for a gorgeous brunette with beautiful blue eyes, I'm you're girl.   I am avaialble for adoption and ready to meet you.

*Note breed status cannot be verified.   Shanon is availble for adoption for $225.

OC is a 6-8 month old chocolate male. As you can see he has just about the most adorable face, and it doesn't stop there. This sweet boy has everything you could ever want in a Lab!

After only a week in foster care OC was fully potty trained and crate trained. He stays in the crate during the day and sleeps through the night in it. OC would love to sleep in the bed, but is content napping on the floor next to his foster mom's bed.

He adores his foster brother and sisters and loves playing with them. OC is up for anything like retrieving, wrestling, or a good game of chase. Like any typical Lab puppy he is very active, but he also has learned to follow his foster siblings lead and knows when it's time to settle down. He walks very well on a leash, knows how to sit and is working on other basic commands such as stay, down, and leave it. He has not attempted to get on the furniture at all and has very good manners. After being in foster care for over 2 weeks I am proud to say he has not destroyed or gotten into anything.

Everyone knows Labs are great dogs in general but there is just something special about this little guy. He was very timid and did not seem to be much of a people dog his 1st day out of the shelter. In less than two days he bonded with me and now he won't leave my side. He wants to be near me all the time and loves getting attention.

Without a doubt OC will make someone a wonderful life long companion.

Canario is a sweet, playful dog with a wonderful disposition.He gets along well with our two dogs and loves to play wrestle every chance he gets.He's smart, listens well and will make a great family pet.

On the smallish side (about 60 lbs), he's still gaining weight after his heartworm therapy.Likes walking on a leash, has mastered sit and is working on down and stay.Sits automatically for petting and is not a big barker.

Hi I am Mitchell, my foster mom says I'm special for two reasons. 

• First because I came to her house from far away. I was wearing a battered and worn tag that said I was from Carlsbad, New Mexico. 
• Second, I can make people fall in love with me the first time they meet me.   

A gentle Lab,  I lean in close and snuggle up against you waiting to be petted and you'll surely feel like I am the only dog for you. I know how to make sheep eyes ( for those of you that are in your 40's or older, you'll know what I mean). Any petting and I immediately go into my sheep eye mode and get a look of total pleasure on my face. I am not pushy or demanding, I have a light and gentle touch if I tapped you with my paw. I know basic commands and walk well on my leash. I am fully housetrained and wait to be invited up on the sofa. I am very happy sleeping next to my foster mom's bed on my own special dog bed. 

I only have one problem,  my foster mom says I am the only water dog she's met that doesn't like water! I don't even like a bath, if I can help it. While my foster sister loves to play in the water and chase the spray from the hose, I'll hide behind a tree in the backyard to escape getting sprinkled. 

I truly am a family dog and would do well with kids or other animals,  the cat here even likes me and she doesn't like anybody! I will just be happy to have a family of my own that will let me snuggle up.

Hi! I'm Marcella, but you can call me Cella for short. 

I'm a true mellow yellow who loves to cuddle, and I'm happiest being close to my people. I feel much better after that yucky heartworm treatment. My energy is back and I really want to play with my two foster sisters, but they're older and don't want to play.

I've enjoyed meeting everybody at the Meet N Greets, including the kids! I don't know whether or not I like cats-I've never met one-but I get along just fine with my much smaller foster sister. I love riding in the car-it's really fun to go! What I want most of all is my own forever family who wants a sweet girl like me to fall in love with them. Would this be you? 

Waiting to meet you--Marcella

My name is Valero but my foster parents call me Val or Valley Girl instead. My foster mom created my top ten list and I think I agree with everything on the list:

1. Chew on bones, chew toys or even the occasional sandal (foster mom is trying to stop that)
2. Get petted
3. Lay at my foster parent's feet waiting to be petted
4. Get petted
5. Playing with the tennis ball, I enjoy chasing and chewing it up
6. Get petted
7. Eat meals quietly and politely
8. Get petted
9. Spend time with my foster parents and dogs
10. Sit really still while my foster parents love and pet me.

As you can see I am a big fan of getting petted, but I am so sweet about asking my foster parents give them readily.  If you think you could love a girl like me, ask about me at the Meet n Greets.

Hi, I'm a 65 lb. bundle of sweetness named Ziva.  I have been in my new foster home for a month now and am getting along well with my foster mother's lab and German-shepherd mix.  I share a giant sized crate when no one is home with my foster brother lab and am happy to let my foster sister be the alpha female.  I love treats and bones and am pretty good about no accidents in the house.  I did have one when it rained and my foster parents didn't make sure I had actually made in onto the grass to potty.  You see, I'm not crazy about wet grass but will go potty if taken out on a leash when the conditions are not just right. My foster mom has three boys in elementary school and we have a mutual adoration society going on here. I have one eye that doesn't work but it doesn't stop me from enjoying life.  I'm athletic, enjoy walks and will nibble on your arm or pop it up when I want to be petted.  I would probably do best with another dog to keep me company and haven't paid any attention to the cats at the Meet-N-Greets I've attended.  I'd love to find my fur-ever home soon!

Cinnamon is such a sweet puppy and SO cute! She is a bundle of energy, though, so whoever adopts her should be prepared for this! She still has that clumsy puppy thing going and it's funny watching her run and play. She was ill when we first rescued her but she's all better now. 

Cinnamon gets along great with other dogs and has been exposed to cats. She has learned to sit and we're working on stay. She is good in a crate and is almost housebroken (just a few accidents in a week). 

She is a happy go lucky pup, loves to play and swim, and is very eager to please. She is such a special dog....you will fall in love with her!

Hi, my name is Henry and I'm looking for a new home. You see, my daddy wasn't able to keep our house and we were living in our car for a couple of weeks. But my dad dropped me off at our old neighbor's house and she's been taking care of me since. I really miss my 3 brothers, but I've adjusted somewhat; my old neighbor can't keep me because she already has 2 dogs and 2 cats.

I LOVE to play, all kinds of games! I love to play ball, and I love to play in the kiddie pool, and I love to play with other dogs! I know how to sit and down on command and my temporary foster has been teaching me to shake. I'm sure there are lots of things I can do if someone will teach me; I'm a willing and eager student!

And I love kisses-especially big wet sloppy kisses on your face! But only if you want them, I don't force them on anyone! But if you just lean down here, I might just sneak one in on you!

I'm good indoors, well, unless I'm playing with another dog, and then it's just all fun and games! But I don't break things or chew on things, unless they are doggie toys. Sometimes, I'll just flop on the floor if I've had a long day playing or maybe I'll lie in my crate, but either way, I'm a very well behaved boy! Well for a young Labrador anyway! I'm house broken and crate trained, so no mess to clean up.

If you are looking for more love than you could ever imagine, then look no further, I'm your boy! I promise I will love you with all my heart as long as you just give me a chance! You won't be disappointed! I am the BEST BOY DOG IN THE WORLD!

Joyful's temperament lives up to her name; she is a very happy dog and has been since we first picked her up.

She seems happiest when she can be as close as possible to her humans. Joy was found wandering the streets and was housed in a shelter before becoming a foster with us, but from her behavior, she once must have been a treasured family pet. She already knows the command "Sit" and takes to training easily. She is eager to please. She is lively without being rowdy and loves to be petted.

Joy is housebroken and walks nicely on and off the leash. Joyful got her stitches out and has now had a bath. Our laid back girl is becoming more rambunctious now! She met lots of doggie friends at the vet and tried to get them to play with her; she tries to communicate with them by using a dog-speak that sounds like a blend of Astro from the Jetsons cartoon and Scoobee-Doo. The vet met with no resistance from Joyful when the surgical stitches were removed. Joy lay there on her back, calm and peaceful, as if she were just getting a belly rub. 

So far the only dog she has talked into playing with her is a relative's boxer. They ran, played, and face fenced til both were exhausted. We have not had to crate her; she sleeps right beside our bed on the floor at night. We can leave Joy at home while we are at work with no unpleasant surprises when we get home. She is gentle with children that she meets when out walking, does not jump on guests at our door, and has never jumped on the furniture. Joy has lost some weight but is still a large girl.

They call me Sarabella and I would LOVE to meet you! 

I am a sweet, sweet girl waiting to share my exuberant love with the right family. Life has been good in my foster home-- I have a fabulous labby brother who will wrestle with me any time I want. We also enjoy taking long walks and chilling out on the tile when it's time to settle down. I have a few games I like to play that my foster humans don't especially care for like getting them to chase me when I escape from the backyard (they call me Houdini), stealing shoes (again, they chase me every time!), and sometimes mouthing like I do with my dog friends. They've worked hard to teach me NOT to do these things and I'm starting to understand that humans are very sensitive compared to dogs and the games have to be different.  I'm trying to ditch these habits, but it's probably best if I'm in a family without young children so that I don't scare anybody.

I'm getting really good at going in my crate and I'm even better at walking on a leash. I'm learning some basic commands. Mostly, I just enjoy the routine of life with a roof over my head, regular meals, and humans who love me. I love to lean on them while they pet me!!!! I LOVE giant Nylabones!!! I think tennis balls are pretty cool. Hey, did I mention that I enjoy laying on my back and holding toys with my paws while I chew on them? It's pretty cute-- just like me! 

Oh, and in case you're wondering, I'm a genuine black beauty with fur like velvet. I'm pretty calm and composed, too, which makes me real easy to have around. So that's me:  easy on the eyes and easy to have around! Can't wait to give you puppy kisses!!!!

Hi my name is Waylon and I am a handsome young man that came to my new foster home a little under weight but I have gained a few pounds now and am looking good.

I enjoy playing with my foster brothers because they will play tug of war with me and that is really fun. My foster sister is not too sure about me yet but I think she is warming up. I also love playing with my human foster sisters because they take me for walks (not very far because I get tired) and play ball with me. I also like to go swimming with them. I am doing really well on housebreaking. I have had only a couple of accidents in the house but most of the time I tell my foster parents when I need to go out and use the grass with the rest of the pack.

I am eating good and I do love my food. I am really good about going in my crate during the day and at night. I am very good about settling down at night and I sleep from 10 pm to about 5:30 am before I need to go out. I have not had an accident in my crate since coming to my foster home. I was very sick before coming to the rescue group but now I am very healthy and happy.

Please bring me to your home and be my forever family.

My name is Fray,  like the rock band that sings "How to save a life"  because mine was saved by DFWLRRC. I am not too sure that I understand how one day I have a family and the next, nobody is home and I am left behind to fend for myself. I was found by the neighbors and embarrassingly enough I was in poor physicial shape. I had heart worms, flea dermatitis, and no fur on my back end, down my legs and my tail. I was left with no water, food or shelter. Boy was that scary. 

My foster home is a great place to be. I get along very well with my foster sisters but I am shy. I am not an alpha dog. I get along well with cats. I am completely potty trained. I do not have any negative behaviors like chewing, stealing, jumping, barking, or counter surfing. I don't even get on the furniture. I am very sweet. I love to have your attention. I walk well on a leash and I am crate trained, but I don't have to be in one. I am fine left alone unattended in the house. 

I am very calm but do enjoy playing ball and I have my moments of energy bursts. My cute trick is I sit in front of you and let out a howl. It's pretty funny. I would love to be your best friend.

Sponsor Fray's medical care!

In addition to routine vaccinations and spay, DFWLRRC is treating Fray for;

• Heart worms
• Flea dermatitis (which resulted in no fur on her back)
• Teeth extraction

The cost for her medical care is estimated to easily exceed $2,000. 

Scooby is a super sweet little boy who loves to play with anyone he meets. He needs to gain a significant amount of weight, but has no shortage of appetite, so it shouldn't take long! When he's filled out, he should weigh about 55 pounds.

He is great with other dogs and children, is crate trained, and walks really well on a leash. He likes to try to sneak onto furniture, but is learning that no really means no. He also likes to rearrange shoes. He doesn't chew them, but likes to move them from place to place in the house, which can drive you a little crazy in the morning when you're trying to get dressed!

Scooby especially loves to play tug of war with his foster sister, whom he adores. He loves to snuggle up with her, and lick her ears until she is sopping wet. Thankfully, he doesn't do that to people - he's content with a little back scratch!

Scooby was not housebroken when he came to foster care, but has not had any accidents since the first few days, so his house training should be nearly complete. He is a little bit timid in new situations, but adapts quickly once he knows he is safe. That is, except for around the two things that startle him - fish that swim out of his reach in fish tanks, and those pesky dogs that appear in mirrors and the glass on the front of the oven when he walks by. He stalks both like a cat!

Overall, Scooby is a well mannered, sweet boy who will do great in any type of home!

A big hunk of love. More to love. A bundle of energy. These are phrases that describe this dog perfectly. 

Garibaldi is a happy well adjusted guy who will melt onto the floor with a sigh of happiness, then lay by your side with his feet in the air for a long belly rub. He trots beautifully by your side on a loose leash, needing the rare correction when he gently bumps into you. He loves his KONG toy with a little peanut butter inside and will carry it around in his mouth like a giant pacifier. He's great with kids, cats and other dogs, allowing them to roll all over him while he lays smiling, enjoying the attention, although because of his size toddlers are not recommended. He walks right into his crate for a treat.

This hunk is really an amazing dog! He even let my female Lab steal some food from his dinner dish without even batting an eye! He let me clean his ears and trim his nails, and actually fell asleep while I was cleaning his ears! He loves his toys, as well as chewies and treats, so one will have to watch his weight especially since he is already such a big boy. He LOVES to race all around our back yard and play chase with my two females, he can turn on the speed in an instant! But, GET OUT OF HIS WAY when he comes running because 104 pounds of doggie is tough to stop! 

Come meet Garibaldi, I bet he will steal your heart as quickly as he has stolen ours! 

Hi! My name is Leonardo, and I know that I can win your affection in five seconds flat. 

My foster mom says I have the most adorable goofy grin and a sweet mellow personality.  Even though I was abandoned in a field to fend for myself, I don't have any trust issues. I love people! I don't need to be in your face though, I am just happy to lie down nearby. I enjoy sitting in the grass and enjoying nice weather, chasing a tennis ball, and chewing a Kong. I have adjusted to my crate pretty well, although if you are home, I definitely would rather be with you than in there! 

I love going for walks and to the park, and I am a true gentleman when I am on a leash. I won't try to drag you anywhere. I would do well in any type of family, I like kids too! My foster dad says his favorite thing about me is the way I lay down -- I stick my back feet straight out behind me! It always makes them laugh. What can I say, it makes me feel like I'm flying through the air like Superman. 

I would be a fantastic addition to your family, and I will do everything I can to make you happy.

Hi there, my name is Kahlua and I am a big girl weighing in at 82lbs. My foster mom says that I have a great girlish figure and that my beautiful block head suits me perfectly. I am doing great in my foster home and love playing with my brothers and sisters, the four legged and two legged kind. But enough about me, have you seen my ball???  I have what humans like to call "ball drive" and I am ALWAYS up for a game of fetch. In fact, I have a talent...I can get 3 tennis balls in my mouth at one time....I know my foster mom didn't believe it either so I had to show her. I do have one habit that my foster mom is trying to break, I am a couch/bed potato.  My foster family does not mind, but they know that not everyone will want me on their furniture. Sometimes my foster mom gets up real early to see my foster dad off to work and when she comes back to bed, she finds me on her pillow.  I don't see the problem, my foster family is always telling me to share, doesn't that include the pillows and that big comfy bed that they sleep in???? I am all ready for my furever home. Will you come by and play ball with me? I can show you my awesome trick and give you some of my sloppy kisses.

Need a little chocolate pick-me-up?  I'm your girl!  I've just gotten settled in to my foster home, and I love it. I have a handsome foster brother who plays with me non-stop. We have so much fun.

Mom and dad say I am very sweet, and we are all working on my potty training. I am doing very well. Dad takes me on walks and is teaching me to "stay" and "sit".  I've got the "sit" down perfectly. Riding in the car is a treat, I lie down and enjoy the adventure.

I haven't learned to love my crate yet, but I do eat all my meals in it - so I think that it is a very good place to be. I know a lady never divulges her weight, but I think you should know I am a very trim 62 pounds. No flab on this body! 

When I arrived at my foster home, mom discovered that I was limping.  A nice doctor fixed my knee and I'm as good as ever!  My leg still has a funny haircut, but the hair is growing back nicely.  I can't wait to show you how I can run.

If you need a sweet treat in your life, give me a call - I'd love to meet you!
