ADOPTED DOGS

Gumbo has a wonderfully calm, joyful demeanor (despite a rough start in life). This boy loves everyone on two legs or four. Actually, we don't have a cat so I can't vouch for that, but even the squirrels in the backyard don't seem to bother him so I'm thinking cats would be fine. Gumbo is thrilled to spend time with his people, inside or out. He has proven himself trustworthy. My family has loved having this beautiful boy in our home and know he will make some lucky family a wonderful addition!

Note: Gumbo was under medical care for the past 3 months but has been cleared from the vet for adoption and is doing great!

Emma is a super sweet, chocolate girl. She is playful, loves to chase anything that moves, and really likes the kiddos. She is a bit more reserved about the big dogs, but does have her moments of braveness! She too likes water and her toys. Emma will be ready for adoption at the end of January. She is doing well with learning house training and crate training, but is still a puppy and will need more help as she continues to grow.

Hello world! Meet Aspen - a loveable two year old yellow lab who is a true love bug. He charms everyone he meets with his sweet face and calm demeanor. Aspen has been neutered. He is totally housebroken and loves to use our doggie doors to explore, lay in the sun as well as the usual things dogs do in the yard.

This charmer needs someone who will build his self confidence with training, improve his trust in people by providing frequent massages, chin rubs and other assorted pampering and to continue to socialize him. He has the unique skill of being able to sit up! He also sits on command and loves his fluffy toy.

Aspen sleeps all night in his crate but we usually just confine him in our sunroom if we are gone. He gets along well with our other lab but he hasn't met a cat yet. He doesn't chase the squirrels in our yard and really likes to just be near us begging a head rub or taking a nap.

This sweet boy would make a great family pet. He's not too big - around 65 pounds - he's very gentle and has a very soft mouth when we give him treats.

Tootsie is a cutie little black lab that my kids call Ally. She is SOOOOO loving, and since she is little she literally gets in your lap. We love her, my daughter wants to keep her so bad but I already kept my first foster and she is just my second attempt. She is very smart and well trained. She heels and comes right back when called or when I whistle. Amazing since she has only been with us under a week!

She recently had 9 puppies so her nipples are saggy! She is a ball of fun, but not hyper. She wasn't interested in fetching until she saw my chocolate lab doing it and now she loves it. She barks when someone comes to door (which I love) but is very friendly and sweet. Obviously in her previous home she was allowed on the bed because she jumps up every night and is so light and small I don't even notice. She is a total love, cuddle dog.

My name is Jasper and my family sadly had to give me up. I am really big for my age, weighing in at 120 lbs. I am 2 yrs old and I am completely house trained, crate trained and know most of my manners. I am one big package of love and affection. I like to play ball and love my chew toys. I have a high prey drive and may not be suitable around cats. I get along really well with other dogs. The vet thinks I may have had a kidney infection as a little pup so its best for me to be on a renal diet to keep my kidneys healthy. The vet said that I will be fine and live a long and healthy life. I cant wait to meet my potential new family.

Freedom is one laid back, happy, love bug! He is calm, quiet, and gentle, but has a silly side too. He LOVES to be with his people, loves kids, loves dogs, and doesn't really even notice cats. He follows his foster mom around the house, lays quietly at her feet while she's working, loves to just sit and be rubbed on, and he loves to play fetch!

He's pretty well potty trained, knows sit, he's learning stay, and he walks very well on a leash- not a puller at all. He's crate trained and content to hang out in there anytime you need him to and he rarely ever makes a peep! But, if there is a loud noise or something outside, he will alert you. Freedom is also people pleaser! So- he learns very quickly what you want and tries to abide right away.

And if that weren't enough, did I mention handsome? It seems like everywhere we go, people comment what a handsome boy he is! Freedom would LOVE a family of his own for all his affections. He is a true joy and will be a wonderful addition to the lucky family who brings this boy home.

Rookie is a smart, cute, lovable male Lab who is on the smaller side - about 60 lbs. He is around 6 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.

Charlie is a beautiful, black lab puppy who is about 9 weeks old. He is the "boss" of his pack and shows no fear! He LOVES to play with tennis balls, his toys and chase the 2 legged kiddos around outside. Charlie will attempt to play with the big dogs here and likes to catch their tails as they go by. He likes to sit in the water bowl and pretend it is a swimming pool-so come summer time a pool would be great for him! We are working on house training and sleeping quietly in our crate at night...but that is still a work in progress!! Charlie and his siblings will not be available for adoption until the end of January.

Hi! My name is Kate and I am 2 years old. I am the sweetest pup. I have a lot of energy. I love being with my foster mom and dad. I follow them around when they are home and love lying in my dog bed next to them. I also love hopping in their bed and cuddling. When they are gone I am totally trained. I've never had an accident in the house. I have a dog door and go outside as I please. I love to go on walks ( although I'm pretty strong and pull a little when I see something I like), run around, and play fetch. I know a few commands like sit and stay. I am good around other dogs, but I love a little rough play and love to wrestle. I haven't been around cats. I am looking for a good family and my forever home!

Blitzen is full of love. He has adjusted quickly to his foster home and plays great with the other two dogs! Blitzen is even more fond of human companionship and the ear rubs that go along with it! He still has some training needs but is a smart boy that has quickly learned to use the dog door, crate, sit for treats, and out leap the foster sisters for snacks and toys! He loves to run and jump and would be an ideal companion for a jogger or family with older kids.

Hi, my name is Skittles. I am a pretty slender, medium, 8 month yellow Lab with some red-ish tint throughout. I am a playful adolescent with a bunch of energy. I can play with balls, toys or with my foster siblings, for hours. I will be best suited to an active household, with daily walks, runs and/or a large yard to stretch my legs. I am always happy and pretty submissive, so I don't foresee any problem with other pet siblings.

We are slowly working on the basics of training, so will need and experienced family with training or a patient family willing to learn to train me, along the way. I am mostly potty trained, know "sit" and we are working on some of the others. Oh yeah.. and I know the word "come," which my foster parents feel is the most important command of all!

My name is Milly and I am looking for a family to call my very own. I was rescued from a small shelter in the country and I feel so safe and sound at my foster parents house. I am a big fox red Lab and calm and well mannered at 5 years old. I am sweet and love affection. I get along well with other dogs but I may need some time to get to know them first. I am house trained, crate trained and love to sleep. I am finishing my heart worm treatment so keep your eyes on me. I can't wait to meet you!

Hi! My name is Victoria. I am a bundle of energy. My foster parents say I'm not as innocent as I look but I'm every bit as cute as I look. Whatever! I love all dogs and kids big or little. I love to take my foster families shoes and drag them all over the house. That's lots of fun! I sleep well in my crate with no accidents all night and I'm working on no accidents in the house during the day when I'm out playing. My foster mom says I'm getting pretty good though. I would love to find my new forever family like my brother did. Could you be my new family?

She is the most gorgeous and friendly young lab that loved everyone and everyone including the vets loved her!!

This is a young very friendly girl who has been waiting patiently at a small shelter. She loves all dogs and people large and small and cannot get close enough to you, rode with her head in her rescuer's lap on the way to the vet. She is very well-mannered for a young lab. Please check back for more information on this sweet girl.

Noelle is a sweet girl who likes to give kisses and has a cute smile. She gets along well with our two dogs and even tolerates our cat. Loves to go on walks, excellent on a leash (heals naturally) and is a perfect jogging companion. She listens well and will make a great family pet.

On the smallish side (about 60 lbs), she is very submissive around other dogs and loud noises. Currently learning a few commands and getting more comfortable in her new surroundings each day. Not a single accident in the house, we trust her out of the crate at night and when alone during the day. She is happy when lounging on her dog bed and even happier when sleeping with us.

Holly (Princess) is beautiful petite dark chocolate girl around 45 lbs. She is around 18 months old, very smart, full of energy and loves to be loved. She has the most strikingly beautiful light golden eyes you will ever see. She loves to play outside and bask her silky self in the sun. She does what her foster mom calls "yoga" when she does a long and lean stretch forwards and backwards. Holly gets along well with everyone she meets, be they four legged or two legged - big or small. Holly learns quickly and is very eager to please. In one day she learned how to sit as well as how to sit and wait patiently at the door before coming inside. Holly is house trained, crate trained, and sleeps all night in the bedroom with her foster family. Holly loves to play with her bones, squeaky toys and chew toys, and never bothers anything that isn't hers. Being a little underweight she will sometimes gulp her food, but is learning quickly that more is always available from her loving foster family. She is very gentle when taking treats from you and will hold a ball very gently in her mouth for you to throw and throw again. Holly loves giving kisses and being loved on and will wiggle and wag while being petted. She loves running in the yard with her foster brothers and is learning her leash manners very quickly. If you have a love for chocolate and the need a forever playmate, Holly will be a great fit for you! She would love a home with another dog or with an active family who can show her just how much fun it is to be a lab!

Hi my name is Damien. I am a very handsome boy. I love to play fetch with my ball or anything else you want me to retrieve. I play well with my foster brothers (labs) and love the little boys (humans) that come over to play with me. I do stay in my crate all night without crying but don't really like to go in there. I am house broke and love to be outside. I have not chewed on anything that I am not supposed to so my foster parents tell me I am a good boy. I love getting attention from my foster parents or anyone that will pay attention to me. If you are looking for an energetic, loyal, loving puppy I am the one and would love for you to be my forever parents.

Hello, my name is Fester and I'm a 1.5 year old male. I have plenty of energy and love to be outdoors. I'm potty trained and completely house broken. My daily schedule includes 3 meals, two long walks and I love to play with my toys and snuggle with my foster parents. I never chew on anything but my toys. I love a visit to the dog park over the weekends. I'm loved by other dogs and love to play with them. I like being petted by others and I generally love being around people. I'm smart and I understand the following commands - sit, stay, lets go, which one (I will put my paw on the hand that has a treat). I'm enticed by the sight of treats and will sit as soon as you show me a treat. Although, I'm not leash trained, I'm getting better at it. I love leading the way, but if you stop I will stop as well. I'm a quick learner and I'm confident that I will adapt to your ways of living very quickly. All I need in return is your love and your time. A dog is known to be man's best friend, I'm sure I'm no exception to that and will stay true to my promise.

My name is Raisin. I am 2 years old and energetic. I am potty trained and crate trained and just looking for someone to love, and if you can take me out walking (or running!) regularly I would love to be the girl for you. I am not sure I want to be in a home with other animals, especially cats. I am a petite girl (about 65 lbs) and I'm as cute as a button.

Garrett was rescued on his last day in the shelter by one of our volunteers. He was about 18 months old at the time. He was fully vetted and was found healthy except for heartworms. Our volunteer made sure he got the treatment that he needed and she took him in under her wing. He has done very well in her home and is ready for a permanent one. Garrett loves other dogs and races around the yard playing with them. He loves nylabones and Kongs with peanut butter. He is crate trained and has not had any potty accidents in a long time. Garrett is about 70 lbs. He also sleeps all night. Garrett would make a fantastic new family member!

Victory, otherwise known as Mac, has grown to appreciate and enjoy the comforts of a home. When he came into our home he did not know what it was to have a home or what it was to receive affection or even what it is to actually play with humans or other dogs. It took him a bit to realize he actually had a name. He likes his crate and has been most comfortable there but I leave it open and he hangs out more and more with the rest of his foster family. He does love to follow you around the house and explore until he finds a treasure in which he will promptly grab and rush back to his crate and keep it for himself. He is quite the character. He has been known to take my blanket off of me while taking a nap on the couch and drag it into his crate on several occasions. I guess I'm not supposed to take a nap or maybe it was just another treasure for him.

Mac is very playful but is a bit of a brutus. He doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body and gets along with everybody. He startles easily but gets over it just as easily. He gets along with kids and other dogs beautifully, big or little. I don't know about cats yet. He is house broken and does not chew. He likes his toys but if he can't find one your foot or leg will do just fine. We are working on acknowledging the difference! He has a strong jaw :). He is truly a kind soul and would love nothing more than to be loved but still needs much patience and understanding. He has come a long way and has become a great dog but there is more greatness within him. He needs that family that will give him the guidance, discipline and love that he so needs and deserves.

Honor is a super fun and energetic puppy. He is fast friends with any dog he meets and does not mind living in the same household with a cat. He loves his squeaky toys and playing tug with a rope toy. He has recently learned how to stay quiet in his kennel when his foster is not home and when it is bedtime. He enjoys walks around the neighborhood and open spaces to run. A back yard or trips to the dog park would be ideal. Honor loves people (children too!) and he's very affectionate. He will gladly stop what he is doing to sit and enjoy having his ears rubbed. He is a smart dog that is eager to please and he has quickly learned where to go the bathroom and the sit command. He would do very well in an obedience class. Honor is a very sweet boy that would be welcome member of any family.

Hi, I am"Indie". My foster mom says I am a sweet, loving, vibrant, bundle of joy!! I was confined to a small balcony and slightly emaciated in my previous life (I am very happy thats over). I now enjoy the freedom of a yard and 2 meals a day with fresh water at all times. I picked up a ball for the first time to play fetch today with my human, it was kind of fun!! I love to keep my humans close when possible, I prefer to take a nap on them (see my picture of me sleeping on my favorite human). I have NEVER had an accident in my foster parents home. I get kisses daily for that!! The only bad habit I have is that I do not like to go in my crate. My foster Mom says it is because I was confined to a balcony. I prefer to sleep on top of it and watch my surroundings! I'm great with kids and dogs. I have 2 dogs with me where I currently live. One tolerates me because she is old and the Yorkshire loves me because I play with her (see my picture attached playing with my duck). I am learning a few good tricks such as sit and stay. I would be a great addition to a family and am waiting for my new home. I hope my wish comes true this Christmas season!

Hi My name is Caden, but my foster family calls me Stewie or Stewart. I have a saying in life...."THROW THE BALL. THROW THE BALL. THROW THE BALL." When I'm not saying that, I'm saying "WHERE'S MY BALL? WHERE'S MY BALL? WHERE'S MY BALL" It's all I think of. In fact if you don't throw me the ball. I will throw it at you! I will throw it in the dishwasher when you open it, in the fridge, even in your coffee cup. Hey, its a guarantee you'll throw it back. A few days ago I followed my foster mom up the ladder into the attic, tennis ball in my mouth. How was I supposed to know she didn't want to play fetch up there? In fact while I'm dictating this to my foster mom the ball is on the keyboard. The other day I got a ball that squeaked!! Then it disappeared. They keep telling me, " I don't know where it is ." I keep trying to tell them, " It's on top of the Refrigerator!!" I could squeak that ball for hours...

My foster mom takes me to the park almost every day. She has a tennis ball launcher. I will chase after the ball until she thinks I'll collapse. My foster brother is a 3 yr old lab mix. We wrestle for hours. He bosses me around, and Im okay with that. I'm a lab, I love everyone. My foster sister is a 14 yr old Brittany. Boy is she ever a grouch. I'm okay with that. I love everyone. A cat came home for Thanksgiving. I was okay with him.

I'm house-trained, know sit, stay, and wait. I have free-range of the house, am trustworthy and only chew on dog toys. We have lots! I am learning how to walk on a leash. When I am on a leash and see a dog I bark and jump up and down, but calm down when you tell me to. My foster brother pulls on the leash so why shouldn't I?

I hate to brag, but I'm the smartest dog in the house. I've been out to restaurants , friend's houses, I'm extremely affectionate, snuggle and EVERYONE loves me. What can I say,I'm a happy labby dude. Now, THROW THE BALL.

Patron is a vibrant and healthy 18-month old lab with the most luscious, shiny and silky chocolate coat, a beautiful broad head and the classic otter tail. His outgoing nature, adaptability and intelligence have made him easy to train. Always willing to please, Patron is great at the other end of the leash, will share his toys and he plays very well with others-people and dogs. He is very affectionate, willing to give one of those famous labby kisses when asked.Patron is crate trained, house trained and has learned to catch snacks. What a great companion! He lies at your feet while you are on the computer, folding laundry, reading a book or watching TV.He has learned to be a superior running/walking buddy-just wanting to be where you are.

Banjo is an athletic, sweet, playful dog with a wonderful disposition and cute smile. He has a personality and behavior of a 2 year old even though his records state 4 years old. He gets along well with our two dogs. Loves to go on walks, play fetch and is a great jogging companion. He is affectionate (give kisses), listens well and will make a great family pet.

He is a little skinny (about 60 lbs) but eating the weight back on (just like us). Does well on a leash, has mastered sit and is working on shake, down and stay. Likes sleeping in his crate, playing fetch and is getting more comfortable in his new surroundings each day.

Hello! I'm listed as Semper Fi in the registry...but I go by Max. I am a sweet old soul who was loved but not given proper care in the past. I have been treated for heartworms and have some arthritis in my hind legs. I will need special food and care for my arthritis and some allergies but will repay you a thousand times with my happy/good nature. I am well mannered and have passed the dog/cat/child friendly tests. Because of my sweet nature and special needs...I might do best as the only dog. Please consider me as your special boy and come see me at a Meet and Greet near you soon.

Hello my human friends, My name is Pilgrim and I am about 2 years old. I am a very tall, dark chocolate and handsome boy. I was lost or dumped and was picked up and dropped off at the shelter. I was out of time and was never available for adoptions as I developed Kennel Cough, ringworm on my nose and was emaciated from starvation. I am now safe and sound at my foster home. Thank you DFW Lab Rescue for saving me. Now, about me, I really love being as close to kind people as I can get. I love other dogs and just want to play all of the time. I am great with human kiddo's as well. I am very good on the leash and never pull. I will go in the crate but i just cry in there because I just want to be next to you but eventually I just fall asleep. I am getting lots of great yummy food and fresh water. I am learning a few good tricks such as sit, lay down and stay. I am high energy while outside with my foster sisters and calm down when I am inside. I am so tall that getting up on the counters in the kitchen or bathroom to admire my handsome self if really easy for me. My foster mom is working on teaching me not to jump up on counters and people. If you want a fun playmate, a fun-loving life long best friend I am your guy. Please consider me and I will promise you a lifetime of love, loyalty and fun.

Hi, my name is Dodi! I am an extremely cute, lovable fox red lab. I am 6 years old and I am looking for my adoption home. They say I am a very active dog for a 6 year old lab. I am completely house trained and have never had an accident in my foster parents house. I don't like going in a crate. I am very good. I have been given the freedom to walk all around the house. I simply LOVE to play fetch and I always bring the ball back and drop it at your feet. After I am tired and I come back inside, I go back to my bed and take a nap. I have no bad habits: I have never been seen counter surfing, digging in the trash, or getting on furniture. I get on the bed only if I am told to. I ride well in a car and do not make a fuss. I do very well with kids- I always follow my foster brother and sister when they come back from school. Did I mention that I am PERFECT on a leash? My foster mother told me that she felt like she was walking an empty leash. I do get excited when I see someone walking in. I pretend I am on a trampoline when I see them. If you just ignore my silliness, I will calm down in a few minutes. I have a 13 year old foster brother who has taken complete responsibility of taking care of me. He is so busy but makes time every night to take me for a big walk no matter how cold or rainy it is. It is so sweet of him to share his room with me. I have a 12 year old foster sister. I follow her every morning when she is getting ready for school. I rest my head on her lap when she is watching TV. My foster mom was saying that I have some allergy issues which bother my ears a lot. She just put some ear drops twice and now my ears don't bother me at all. She has also changed the diet, which may have done wonders to my allergies. I just got groomed and look stunning in my pink polka dot sweater that my foster mom got me. I would be a great addition to a family and am waiting for my new home. I hope my wish comes true this Christmas season.

According to her previous owner, Dodi has had obedience training and is a great dog. Housebroken, crate trained, good loose in home, great with kids. 

Dodi has an enormous ball drive and is very active for her age. She was surrendered due to a job change that would have required her to be left crated for 16 hours a day. 

Dodi asked for a home where someone will run with her and let her spend time with the family! She needs a family who can play ball at least once a day and take her for a long walk.

Phantom  is a family friendly sweetie-pie of a Lab. He was picked up as a stray and taken to a shelter. As his days were running out, DFWLRR was lucky enough to get him. He is young but he is easy going and gentle for his age. He loves to play but is content just to hang out with you too. He enjoys walking and doesn't pull or tug on the leash at all. He is probably the easiest Lab we have ever walked. He is playful with other dogs, and gets along well with everyone. Our four year old real boy has tested him out and he is very good around kids too. He is very handsome and has no medical issues.  He is a wonderful Lab that will have a very easy transition into his forever home. Come meet this one, before he is gone!

We call him Jack! This is a very sweet, neutered yellow Lab who is great with kids as well as with other dogs. He also has a cute doggie smile! Jack came to us as he was transferred from a shelter to a vet's office because he came down with the Parvo virus. He has fully recovered and has his energy and appetite back but still needs to gain a few pounds.

Jack is quite used to a kennel, but he has really had the run of the house since he is totally housebroken and uses our doggie doors regularly. He does stay confined in our sunroom with his foster sister when we aren't home - he likes to sleep in the sun. He walks very well on the leash and we are working on sit, heel and come. He learns very quickly and is anxious to please.

Jack is the perfect dog for someone who wants a housebroken adult dog (past the crazy puppy stage!) that they can train, take on walks and throw toys for. He has a great personality - he'd be a wonderful addition to your family and a great companion.

Hello, My name is Cloud and I am about 4 years old. I am on the mend from my past neglect. I experienced a trauma to my right eye, which led to my eye being removed. I have limited vision but that doesn't slow me down and I have adapted very well. I am a very plump young lady and roll around in the grass for belly rubs. My nick-name is "Ms. Piggy". I am on a diet but I do love to eat, especially treats. I have never had the pleasure of being an inside dog but have realized that it's the life for me. I am a super smart girl and know how to sit, lay down and I'm learning to stay. I walk very nicely on the leash and never stop wagging my tail. I love, love chasing the tennis ball and swimming. I am potty trained and crate trained. I get along well with other dogs. I am a very quiet girl but will bark if I am outside and hear an unusual sound or another dog. I sleep on the floor in my foster mom and dads room with my foster sisters. It's a cozy place to be.

I promise if you meet me you will quickly fall in love with me. I am very, very sweet and affectionate. My loyalty and love will be yours forever. I don't see very well but I feel and see with my heart. Because I was neglected my entire life, I have lost some of my beauty on the outside but I am BEAUTIFUL on the inside.

Sincerely,

Cloud (Ms. Piggy)

Hey there, I'm an adorable, shiny-coated chocolate girl that my foster mom calls Rossi because Betsy Ross is just too long a name when she's in a hurry.  This is my second foster home, not because I am not just the best little girl ever but because the nice DFWLRR volunteer that found me already has 5 dogs at her house and was taking in a puppy too!  Whew, now I'm warm and cozy in a house with three other dogs and I quickly learned my place with them.  I get along great with most of them and love to play with my foster sister who is a German Shepherd because I am happy to let her be the alpha dog.  I have two Labbie friends here too and one is so nice to me. The other is a bit of a grouch, so we have words every once in a while but nothing serious.  I am crate trained, house trained, and love to play fetch as long as my people will.  I am still learning good leash manners and do not like to be pulled but will come for treats and when I know I am not in
trouble.  I kept off the furniture at my first foster home, but I really love jumping onto the laps of the people in the house, especially those 9
and 10 year old boys, so I try to get away with that a lot.  I love giving kisses and will put my head on your lap when I want attention or simply jump in it.  My foster mom and dad are working on trying to keep me off the furniture, but I obviously am really comfy there and was probably allowed to do that wherever I was before Lab rescue found me running alongside a highway.  After notices to all the area shelters and listing on Craigslist, no one has claimed me so I am free to find a new forever home.  I know it will be one where the owners love me enough to keep me safe inside with a collar and tags.  My new foster mom micro-chipped me so I know she loves me too!

Hi my name is Pampas and I am a sweet little girl looking for my forever home. I play well with my foster brothers, we play tug of war with the rope and we wrestle with each other all the time. My foster parents have 2 grandsons which I play with and do not jump on them or bite them. I love to play fetch with my foster parents. I am potty trained and go to the door whenever I need to go outside. I sleep all night in my crate without having an accident. I love to play but I also love to sleep by my foster parents feet and with my foster brothers. Please give my foster parents a jingle to come meet me and you will fall in love with me.

Stars is AVAILABLE and ready for her forever home. She is precious. Very gentle, small for a Lab (but not fully grown) and has beautiful features. She has eyes that will melt your heart. She can lay for hours next to someone and just wait patiently for you to rub her tummy or scratch her ears. She is socializing fantastic with the neighborhood doggies and loves to go for walks. She is potty and crate trained. She is fine being in the crate if it can be near people. She takes roughly 15 minutes to calm down completely after being put in a crate if she is not near people.

Cassie is such a sweetheart! She wandered onto our doorstep a few weeks ago and has been a doll ever since. She is recovering from getting spayed and separation from her brother, who was found with her and already found a new home, but she is doing wonderfully. She is a lover and needs some TLC. If she could be petted all day long, she would be thrilled. She is gentle with young kids and loves all humans. The best we can tell, she is house-broken. Cassie would love to reside indoors. She needs some training and is not used to being around other dogs and cats, so she needs a little socialization. If anything, they scare her. She does great on walks/jogs and loves barking at squirrels.

We don't know where she came from, but we can't believe anyone would let this girl go. If you have love to give, this is the dog for you!

Sweet boy, tough as a tank and a big heart is the best way to describe this guy (Hank the Tank). He's been hit by a car, placed in a shelter then attacked by heart sucking parasites all the while remaining one of the most loving and appreciative dogs I have had the honor of meeting.

Hank has recooperated nicely and is ready for adoption. He's fully crate trained and house broken. He is smart, knows sit, stay and down and is also very sweet and loving. He's very interested in cats, but not too interested and will make a great pet for a special home.

Cherokee is being well loved in his new foster home and he is now a big boy, pushing 80 lbs. plus. He is young and has lots of energy. We have been fostering him for a month now and his recovery from neutering and heartworm treatment is complete. He is feeling oh so good these days and is always ready to go.

His coat is beautiful now, soft, thick and healthy instead of dry and brittle. He has had a bath and and knows he looks pretty.
He is learning manners now but still needs some work. He LOVES walks and gets so excited when you grab a leash. His favorite thing is to curl up next to you on the couch and give kisses. Lots of them! He will stretch out on the cool floor and snooze at your feet. He is crated during the day and goes in the crate willingly. He is also housetrained. He is quite the Houdini and has opened the crate and met me at the door when I arrived home from work. I added a bulldog snap and and spoiled his fun. He didn't destroy anything but a magazine but he requires supervision out of the crate for now. Cherokee sleeps in the bedroom on a dog bed at night. He races down the hall when you tell him it's bedtime. He sleeps all night ( about 7 1/2-8 hrs) . We found a baby gate at the bedroom door provides a little extra security . Cherokee needs active adults and older children and a chance to mellow out with a little time and exercise. He is a gorgeous boy and loves other dogs .

Glory goes by... Grace, Miss Grace, Gracie, Princess Buttercup and SnugBug.

Gracie was dropped off at the pound with her puppies. Upon arrival to our home she was sickly, underweight, with a scar around her neck left behind by a collar that was too tight. My husband, myself and our 2 dogs fell in love with her immediately! Although she was scared and didn't know how to "act like a dog", she was happy. Learning to be a dog was very natural for her. She knows where to potty, to sit, and her favorite.... walk on a leash. She has put on weight... more on that later, and is the proud owner of a shiny new coat. Now we are working on car rides and what I call forceful snuggling.

On a more positive note she has a few talents I would like to share with you:

Hostess. One night, someone (my husband) left the pantry door open. She lugged a brand-new 24 lb bag of dog food into the den. She proceeded to throw an all-you-can-eat buffet for herself and her foster siblings. Needless to say, I woke up to find 3 dogs looking as if they each swallowed an entire watermelon.

Decorator. Inside, she's a frustrated interior designer, but is not as insistent upon this as she was initially. She rearranges the pillows in the house at least once a day. Apparently, the den pillows look better in the living room. The living room pillows look better in the bedroom, and the bedroom pillows.... well you get the idea. The good news is she doesn't chew on them, just moves them around the house.

Commando Snuggler. Miss Gracie is NOT a face licker. However, she is love deprived and needs to catch up. She puts her face next to yours, gets as-close-as-humanly-possible, and leans in with all of her body weight. It is very cute, but you can only spend so many hours a day with a dog glued to you.

Her requirements for her new home.....I think she would be fine as an only dog, but she will need A LOT of human time. She's been without attention for a very long time. Next, what seems to have brought her out of her shell are walks. Her tail wags the entire walk. She prefers the indoors, doesn't swim in the pool, and hasn't figured out why anyone would want to chase after a ball. She isn't crate trained, if you don't mind her decorating, it shouldn't be a problem. I haven't seen her around cats, but can't imagine her not loving them. She sleeps in her dog bed or on the couch.

All of this being said, she is an absolute doll. Whose primary goal is to please. Her new Parent(s) will be rewarded many times over with the love she will bring into your home.

Maggie is a very sweet, quiet, well behaved 8 year old chocolate Lab. She is a shorter Lab around 60 lbs. She has been with us for 2 weeks now and has been extremely easy to take in. She gets along with my older dog, loves to play fetch and knows how to release the ball upon return. She is calm in the house and enjoys taking naps but is always ready to play if asked. She has not had an accident and learned quickly to use our doggie door. She apparently lost her original owner and was taken in by a kennel who's owner passed also. She was a mama dog and probably has had many pups. She was recently spayed. Maggie has adapted quickly into our family. She is crate trained and will even lay in there during the day. She stays in the crate about 8 hours while we are at work. We do let her sleep in our room and she hasn't once bothered us at night. Maggie walks well on a leash. She knows sit and down and we are working on shaking and staying. I am sure she would do well with kids because she is very gentle and doesn't jump up.

Maggie is looking for a new forever home. She would be a pleasant addition to any family!

Hello, My name is Federal but I prefer Buddy! I am 4 years old and I must say that I am one handsome Fox Red big lug of LOVE! I am super smart and very affectionate. I am completely house trained, crate trained, not to mention very quiet and well behaved especially inside. I do not have any bad habits (counter surfing, trash digging, jumping fence, chewing, stealing or digging in the yard).

I love to be the star of the show and to play with human kids and my fellow dog friends. I especially love to meet new friends. My foster parents brag what a good boy I am. That makes me so happy!

I do love going for walks; I could even be your favorite running Buddy. I do pull on the leash when I get excited but not too big of a problem. I won't drag you down the street. I sleep all night and love to sleep next to my foster parents bed on the floor. I can be trusted to have free roam of the home while you go out for 3-4 hours.

I am in the market to adopt a wonderful and loving human family. I promise to be a good boy, loyal, loving and compassionate to you. I will love my new adopted family for many many years to come. Please put your application in so I can meet YOU!!!!

Sincerely yours;

Federal aka "Buddy"

Bunny is a beautiful light yellow, doe-eyed 6 year old female. She came from a home that used her to manufacture puppies so her underside is a little saggy, but that does not slow her down! At 65 lbs., she loves children, playing and is a world class cuddler. Bunny is great on the other end of the leash and is crate trained. Exceptionally sweet, patient and obedient, Bunny is a good fit for a home with children, other dogs and/or cats. Meet her and you will fall in love.

America (Amy) is a very sweet and lovable little girl. She plays well with others and can hold her own with the best of them. Amy is very devoted to her people and never wanders too far away. She has perfect energy during the day only to look forward to snuggling up with you at night. Watch out for the deep sleeps though...she snores! She is good in the house and minds her manners. She is crate trained and doesn't mind it but is just as good without it. She walks good on a leash and loves to go where ever you do. She is a giant love and sweet girl who would like to find a family who will be as devoted to her as she will be to them.

My name is Sarge and I was found wandering the streets. I was scared and skinny, and very unsure of what was going on. Some wonderful rescuer came and got me from the shelter and brought me home for the Labor Day weekend, thus my name in honor of those who serve our country. I am housebroken, love kids and other dogs, and I love to kiss my humans. I am a little nervous about loud noises, but as soon as you tell me it is okay, I trust you and I am fine with it. I don't jump or counter surf, and for my age, you will be very proud of how well I behave. I need a family that will take the time and love I need to learn that the world is not a bad place. You can be sure that in return, I will be a loving and faithful Lab to the end!!! Sarge is currently going through heartworm treatment. Please check back for updates.

Trixie is a sweet little lovebug who is usually wagging her tail so hard it looks like she is doing the twist. She LOVES tennis balls, and usually has 1 in her mouth every waking moment, unless she is fetching, which she would be happy to do all day long! She gets along well with people of all ages and other dogs, but no cat encounters yet. She is good in her crate. She will try to sneak and crawl into your lap when being petted, but is easily corrected, and will eventually realize she is too big to sneak. Trixie looks forward to getting lots of attention in a furever home soon!

Hi my name is Belle. I am a friendly teenager. I am curious about everything and I love everyone. I play with my foster brothers and sister and they are teaching me this game called retrieve, which I only understand now and then. They jumped into the lake and I followed them. I was scared at first but now I love it. I love to go for walks in our neighborhood and I find the cats very curious creatures that run away fast. I love to snuggle on the couch with my foster mommy and I give lots of kisses. I am starting to understand sit. But I always forget I'm not supposed to go through the door or gate until I am told and I get in trouble for that because it's not safe. So I am learning. My foster mommy says I am a diamond in the rough and will do great in obedience class.

Patriot is handsome, gentle and eager to please. He's only a year and a half old, but you would not guess it by his calm demeanor. Patriot loves being in the house and has had no accidents and does not take things that do not belong to him. He gets very excited to go outside and walks reasonably well on a leash. He would do very well in a home with other pets or children and he is happiest just relaxing near his human family. Though he is very well behaved, he is still working on some of his basic commands like come, sit and stay. Patriot will be a very fun and easy going companion for just about any family!

What a handsome young fellow Lager is, you have got to come see him!

Lager has been with us for three months now, he came to us from a shelter where he ended up after being hit by a car. He was marked for euthanasia because of his injury. DFWLRC was able to pull him from the shelter and get him the vet care he needed. The vet had to amputate just one toe on his left front foot. It doesn't slow him down at all and it has healed up well. He also had to be treated for heart worms for the first month he was with us.

Lager is a young, playful Labrador. He knows how to sit, is potty trained, and is crate trained. He is an expert counter surfer and dumpster diver and we have been working with him on this and his trying to take things that don't belong to him. He is a beautiful boy with a silky black coat and big block head. His physical stature is on the smaller side of the Lab scale. He will need some continued obedience work as well as time to age out of some of his puppy behaviors.

Lager loves going for long walks on his leash and loves it when we find a sprinkler to play in. He has excellent recall skills, as I can let him go at the dog park and he always comes right back to me when I call his name. He is very submissive, he is not an alpha dog. He has played with cats and did well and he LOVES all other dogs and plays very well with them. We have a three year old little boy and Lager has become very good about playing gently with little ones. Come meet this black beauty, he will steal your heart!

This beautiful girl is a doll. She lost her human mama not long ago and was separated from her fur mama this afternoon to new foster homes. She had not been for a car ride or on a walk before, so she was very scared...but as soon as she got to our house she was excited to meet our pack and did wonderful. She is adorable and full of Labby kisses and snuggles. Male or female dogs, cats, and kids, she loves them all. She really loves her new rope toy and football!!! She will need to learn that the outside world is a fun place for a Lab, but whom ever gets to adopt her, will be very excited to be the one to teach her, I promise!!!!

Harper is a beautiful young lady with lots of love to give. She was rescued from a shelter one day before her time was supposed to be up and sure loves to show her gratitude, in the form of cuddles and kisses. She is well mannered, potty trained, and knows how to "sit and shake." She has a little work to do on the leash, but should figure it out shortly. She also sleeps through the night right next to the bed, although I know she is secretly hoping to be invited to sleep on the bed.

Although she is underweight and had a rough start, Harper always seems to have a big goofy smile on her face. She gets along great with other dogs and in typical Lab style, has yet to meet a stranger. Harper really enjoys her walks and runs, and would do great with someone with an active lifestyle. She will be a wonderful, loyal companion. I feel very lucky to have found her.

Meet Callie. Callie is a 9-10 year old yellow female Lab and she is just as sweet as can be. She is fully house trained, is good with kids, and after some initial excitement is good on the leash. Callie loves walks! She has lived with other Labs and gets along well with dogs (small or large), friends and strangers, but she prefers the company of people. Callie is an outgoing, well mannered Lab. Her favorite phrase is "Come on, let's go!" Callie is very good at matching your mood. If you want to play, she is game; however, once the game is over she returns quickly to being quiet by your side. We do not have any cats, but she doesn't seem to mind other animals. Callie loves to be by your side and will bark to remind you to let her back in the house. Callie is in good health so if you are looking for a companion Lab, Callie just may be your girl.

Weather is an adorable black Lab! She was dumped in a lake preserve area and left as coyote bait for almost a month. Some amazing rescuers took the time to feed the pup and bring her to safety a few weeks back. Weather has a lovable personality.  Being only 6 months old she is very energetic and active. She loves open spaces, taking walks (and chasing rabbits!) and interacting with other dogs. She is fully house broken and generally needs to be walked twice a day. As she is still teething she loves to chew! Soft toys and tennis balls are her favorite. She definitely has a lot of love to offer you, and is just waiting for you to offer some back!

My name is George and I was found wandering the streets over the fourth of July, afraid from the fireworks. A nice lady found me and brought me inside her house. I was very well behaved and did not bother anything or have any accidents. I got along well with her little dog and her toddler. Unfortunately she did not have a fenced yard. No one came looking for me and many nice people worked hard to keep me out of the shelter. They also took me to the vet and we found out that my prior owner was not good about keeping my heart worm medicine up to date. When I get better from my heart worms, I hope you will give me a forever home.

This sweet girl was abandoned shortly before she was due to give birth.  She was rescued and gave birth to 11 puppies in a safe, warm place instead of a cold, unloving shelter.

She was not only heart worm positive but also suffered complications from her delivery and had to have emergency surgery.  

Despite these challenges, Mama has a wonderful personality.  Her playfulness is showing now that she's getting stronger.  She likes to chase after her rope toy and likes to play gently with her foster sister.  We think she'd like to chase rabbits and squirrels too; she's very interested in them!  She enjoys being petted, scratched and massaged!

Mama is totally housebroken and uses the doggie door very well.  We've had no accidents in the house.  At first she slept in a crate, but she has earned the right to sleep outside the crate wherever she wants.  She likes to stay confined in the sunroom with her sister when we're not home.

This sweet dog would be a wonderful addition to any family - her happy tail and darling face are great to come home to!

Augustine is the most laid back pup I've ever seen! He runs and plays for 20-30 minutes then plops down as if to say "I've had enough. It's time to rest." He's larger than the other pups with big paws that his body will have to catch up to. He loves to cuddle. Augustine enjoys wrestling and chasing the other puppies. He does not mind being "wollered" by my three children. He is smart and learning to potty outside easily. I just love this little guy and you will too.

Hi World, my name is Storm (aka Stormy). I have been so happy in my foster home the last two weeks and felt truly lucky and blessed to have been rescued by DFW Lab Rescue! I am currently living with a human foster mom and dad, human foster sister (who is my best friend) and a foster brother and sister who happen to be dogs. I also have a foster kitty that I get along great with. When I was found I had some issues from being dumped, but I have taken all my medicine and am doing AMAZING!! I don't want to sound biased, so I will let my foster mommy tell you all about me. I hope you want to adopt me and give me the Forever Home that I so desperately deserve. Here is my foster mommy: Storm has been such a fun, loving and playful 6 month old puppy to have in the house. She had heat stroke while wandering around after being dumped in 109 degree heat. From the experience she has a slight lift on one side of her muzzle which makes her look like she is doing a sideways smile. It gives her even more character...if that is even possible. The best family for Storm will be one with another dog or more and even cats. She loves to play with our cat, they have slept together two different nights. Storm loves to play with her foster brother and sister. She is so full of spunk, but is happy to just lay around and relax. She is house broken as far as we can tell. She has had two accidents in the house, but none in the last 10 days. She is fine with the crate, but prefers to stay out and lay on the human bed with the other dogs during the day. Storm enjoys and needs to chew on bones, play with tug toys and LOVES to eat her puppy chow. She has been working on the sit command, walking on the leash and no more counter surfing. So far everyone who has met her just loves her sweet nature, laid back personality and love of play. If you are looking for a "Go with the Flow" Lab, who gets along with all humans, dogs and cats alike, then Storm is the Lab for you!!

Tally is an awesome, Lab-girl. She is smart, sweet and a snuggler! We are still getting to know her but we are already in love. Tally has great manners and she gets along very well with her two big foster brothers. She walks great on a leash, eats very slowly for a Lab, and loves car rides! Tally is a very calm Lab - she hasn't played much with balls or toys and she really she isn't a fan of water - though she did great when we bathed her! Tally just wants to be with people. She knows sit, down, stay, and, my favorite, out of the kitchen. She is crate trained and spends days in her crate while her foster family is at work. At night, she sleeps in the bedroom with her fosters and her 4-legged foster brothers. Tally will make a great companion in any situation. You gotta meet this girl!

Blarney, who answers to Barney, has been a joy to have in our home! This boy was an owner surrender through no fault of his own. Barney is completely housebroken and crate trained. He is very calm and polite for a two year old Lab. He does not chew, bark or counter-surf. Barney is a big Lab coming in at a lean 80 lbs. He loves to go on walks and play fetch. He carries his ball around during the day hoping to entice someone to play with him. He sleeps on his bed at night never making a sound. Barney will be an easy going companion for just about any family!

(He actually responds to "Steve", funny!) Is a 1.5 to 2 year old Lab. He was picked up as a stray along with his brother who was adopted. He has a very sweet demeanor and loves to snuggle, leaning his whole body into you. It is possible he was abused because he will occasionally flinch when I pet him. He is very laid-back, gets along with cats and is happiest with other dogs, large and small. I recommend he is placed with another dog companion. He is house-trained, trustworthy, well-mannered, doesn't chew on furniture or jump on house guests. He loves dog bones, calmly savoring them until his heart's content. But, nobody's perfect....... hobbies include counter-surfing, and trashcan digging. Hey, he was a stray and is a work in progress. Outdoors, he is obedient and walks well on the leash. He enjoys the walk but does not like to swim. Overall, Tango is a very sweet, well-mannered, obedient, lovable, happy-to-please dog ready to find his forever home. Whoever adopts him will have many years of love ahead.

Hi! My name is Vizio and I am searching for the perfect family to call my own. I love to give kisses and will do so anytime you are in range. I am so grateful to be in a warm safe foster home after my scary time on the streets and in the shelter.



I am potty-trained and crate trained, love other dogs and kids, play a great game of catch and want nothing more than to please you. Because of my past, I am still a little skittish in new situations but just need a loving, active family to love me and show me that nothing bad is going to happen.



As you can see I am a big beautiful yellow boy with the most gorgeous soulful eyes you have ever seen. Once you meet me, you will see what a great companion I will be for you.



If you give me that chance, I promise to love you forever!

Blade is very energetic and fun loving.  He enjoys wrestling, tug-o-war, chewing on his bone and chasing the kids.  He is learning to potty outside quickly.  Blade is also sweet.  He likes to be held after he plays and enjoys lots of attention.  He has a lot of personality.  This handsome guy is a little bigger than his sisters but not quite as big as his brother Augustine.  He would love to meet you and steal your heart.

Please check back for more information on Dandelion!

This is Brome.

Sprinklers and Bacon Strips are a girls best friend!  I LOVE, LOVE water in any form or fashion!  Kids and big dogs are great too!  My siblings already got adopted so I am used to being "on my own" and enjoy being spoiled.  My house training is going good considering I am still a little puppy.  I sleep in my crate all night long too.

Brome LOVES the outside and will chase toads, grasshoppers and is starting to carry around the tennis ball.  She chases the kids around and ignores the resident cats.  Her personality is one of a kind.  She's a cuddle bug one minute and  a feisty ball of black fur the next.  She will make a great addition to the active family.

Buffalo is one of those Labs that loves attention.  He likes playing with his siblings but always makes time for his human friends.  He will sit and cuddle with you and steal your heart. 
Buffalo is sleeping about six hours a night before needing to make a trip outside.  He is also well on his way to being housebroken.  You better hurry and adopt him soon so you don't miss out on his yummy puppy breath!

Hi, my name is Ottawa! I'm a small petite Lab and, if I do say so myself, the prettiest Labrador you've ever seen. My foster parents say my Lab Rescue name doesn't easily roll off the tongue so they are calling me something shorter and easier! It's taken me a little while to become comfortable in my new home...lots of new sounds and smells and people. My foster mom is really great and I want to be around her as much as I can. Sometimes she even trips over me but it's not my fault!! At the house there is also this really big, scary guy with a deep voice. It took me a couple days to realize he's my foster dad and is very sweet and loving. Even when he doesn't mean it, he sometimes startles me when I don't realize he's near me. Once I know he's there I really like it when I can snuggle up to him for an ear or belly rub. There aren't any little people in my house but some have stopped by to visit. They also worry me cause I'm not sure what they are going to do. My foster parents think I'd be better around medium sized people and big people. I love to give sweet, wet kisses and, once I'm comfortable, can be a real love bug. I really like my foster brother Tommy, even though he doesn't want to play and run the way I do. He's bigger than I am and that's a good idea since I'm not so sure about smaller and younger dogs. At this house there is a very comfortable crate in which I love to sleep and I take all of my toys into my crate to make sure they are all safe. Chasing balls and toys is really cool and I am even learning to bring them back to be thrown again. My foster parents say I'm really quick too. Tommy has also taught me a love of reading. I'm now a voracious reader and it turns out my favorite magazine is Time. But, I realize it can be hard to read the pages after they are in my mouth and then in small pieces on the floor. I can't wait to find my forever home and family...as long as there is lots of love and a magazine subscription for me!

Elroy is a 5 year old chocolate Lab that has been a joy to have in our home. He is house trained and loves to follow you all around the house in case there is an opportunity for him to be petted! He is happy to go into his crate when we leave during the day and for bed time. When out in the yard, fetch is one of his favorite games, but in this heat he has been settling for chasing the sprinkler most evenings. That followed with a quick dip in the kiddie pool is a perfect evening for Elroy. He needs a bit of training on the leash, and is a jumper and counter surfer. He mostly ignores the other dog in our house, and has not been around cats or kids.

Please check back for more information on Fescue!

Chinook is a very sweet, loving boy who loves a lot of playtime to burn off his puppy energy. He is happy to be in a foster home where he can get some attention and pester his foster sister. He looks forward to being a lovable member of a furever family!

Hi Friends, My name is Eva and I am a 6 month old (teenager) puppy that sadly ended up at the Sulphur Springs Shelter. It was my lucky day when I got my "get out of jail free" card and now here I am in Lab Rescue, safe and loving life at my new foster home. I am a social butterfly and love to learn and I am especially sweet. I just arrived at my awesome foster home, and I'm adjusting quickly. They are teaching me to crate, to potty outside, to sit, to stay and to shake. I am a social butterfly and really love my foster sisters. They have another puppy that hangs out frequently. She is a little younger than me, but boy do we look like twins and love to play. Some would think we are sisters. lol....

I will be available very soon so keep your eyes on me. I'm a true heartbreaker. I would love to bring life and love to your family.

Apache was found abandoned on a hunting/game ranch and no one came back for him. He was sent to their shelter where they are so small and have no rescue support that he had a 100% chance of being euthanized. He's a sweet boy with lots of energy. Someone is definitely missing this great dog. 

This adorable guy ended up at the shelter with his mama, June. They were so full, there was just no space for him or mom and needed rescuing immediately!!!

My name is Comanche and I am looking for a forever home.  I was found as a stray and well, the rest of my past is a mystery.  I can tell you that I am about 5 years old and 90lbs of pure chocolate sweetness.  I am currently getting over my heartworms so taking it easy for now.  I really feel comfortable here at my foster home.  I am very quiet but will bark if someone comes to the door to alarm my foster mom.  Its a loud, deep and manly kinda bark.  Nobody will want to break in here. lol..  I do love to sleep and just can't get close enough to my human friends.  I am a little unsure of who to trust and am a bit shy.  I have only had a few accidents in the house but as time has gone by I now understand where I am supposed to go.  I will go in the crate but mostly stay in the laundry room cause its a bit more comfy especially since I have the baby gate to see all of the goings on.  I get along well with other dogs and tolerate a very young spunky Lab puppy that visits frequently.  I am a picky eater and love chicken broth on my food. .  My foster mom says I am good on the leash and don't pull very much.  I am all healthy and currently taking applications for my new family.  If you love chocolate and want tons and tons of affection come by and meet me. 

Eternally Yours;

Comanche 

My name is Toshiba but my foster mom calls me Max, which I seem to like better. Animal Control Officers seized me from my prior owners because I was chained in their back yard and super hungry. I had to overcome some health issues before I could look for a new family to call my own. I am now ready and can’t wait to meet my fur-ever home.  I get along well with my foster brother and sister as well as the other dogs I have met.  I am potty trained and I have figured out the doggie door.  It’s super convenient when I need to go.  I prefer to sleep on my dog bed very close to my foster mom.  I am crate trained but have earned free roam in the house.  I have lots of toys and only play with them.  I don’t chew any shoes, furniture or remote controls. I don’t get on the furniture unless invited.   I love to chase balls and I am learning to retrieve balls.  I love to swim so I am just your typical fun-loving Lab.  I really enjoy going for walks in our neighborhood.  I do get carried away but learning how to walk on leash.  I am a small guy only about 50#. I am a sweet and loyal guy and I love to be wherever you are not to mention I really love human kiddo’s.  I would love to find a family to love me as much as I love them.  A big back yard is always a plus and I won’t dig it up I promise but I may chase the sprinkler if it tries to spray me.  If you are interested in a sweet fun loving guy, I’m the one for you!!! 

Bio coming soon!

Hello Again!

This is Luna.  Since I came to Rescue in February I've had a pretty charmed existence!  I've lost 12 pounds,  I've had my pretty teeth cleaned and fixed, and my "happy tail" healed up perfectly!!!  As you can see in my new photos, I have the most adorable Labby smile and I'm always happy.  I never kennel at home, but will kennel when asked with no problem.  I probably wouldn't want to stay in there all day as I have full run of my foster house with the big in-out door!  I'm 8 now...but still have plenty of energy.  I get excited sometimes and will jump around a bit; but we're working on that!  I'm ready now...for a forever home.  All I need is for you to love me, take care of me, and I will fill your world with sweet smiles and sweet kisses.

Hi I'm Hef, but my friends sometimes call me Bubba!  I am a 1 1/2 year old 75lb. beautiful black Lab looking to find a new forever home. My previous family had to give me up and I miss them so I get a little anxious when someone leaves me alone. I am fully housetrained and am working on being kennel trained. I do stay in there while my foster parents work, but not without some protesting. I love to go for walks and probably could use more practice behaving on a leash but my foster Mom says I do pretty well.  

Hef really knows his name as Bubba. He gets along okay with our other dog and has met one cat without an incident. He gets excited when we pass others on our walks but calms down quickly. Hef sleeps in a dog bed in our room at night and has been easy to take care of though I have caught him sleeping on our bed at  times. He hasn't seemed interested in getting on any other furniture and doesn't jump up on people.  He knows how to sit and we are working on down and stay. He definitely is a counter surfer and seems to be familiar with "people"  food. He will retrieve the ball but does need work on the release. He will probably be very easy to train since he is very loyal and attentive to me and loves to be by my side almost all of the time.

Milo is an adorable 4 year old Lab. He is very mild mannered and well behaved in the home around children and other dogs. He loves walks (doesn't pull), treats and all toys. He is house and crate trained. He has mastered most of the basic commands and his favorite past time is lounging by the pool or his owner's feet.

Acoma was surrendered to a vet clinic because the owner lost their home and could no longer care for her.   This beautiful girl has a chocolate velvet coat and the sweetest disposition.

Hopi was surrendered, along with his sister Mochican, due to a medical situation with his owner. Both have been immaculately cared for and are well-socialized with children and animals and are crate trained.  In their previous life they enjoyed the dog park and doggie daycare.   Hopi and Mohican do not have to be adopted together and have been apart previously.

Hopi is already enjoying the pool at his new foster's home and seems to be a very sweet, obedient boy. He is house-trained, fetches, sits, swims in the pool and is very laid back easy going.  Also, he gets along with other dogs, and stays off the furniture. He seems very grateful. 

Olly (aka Jet) is a really sweet boy who is smart (easy to train) and great with kids.  Submissive by nature, he gets along well with our two dogs, but is very interested in our cat (but not aggressive).  Loves to go on walks, good on a leash, great jogging buddy and will make a great family pet and companion.

So far he has mastered sit and down, has a good grasp of stay, he listens well and is very food motivated (likes carrots of all things).  He does fine in his crate, not a barker and we trust him to roam the house since he is house broken. 

Mohican was surrendered, along with her brother Hopi, due to a medical situation with her owner. Both have been immaculately cared for and are well-socialized with children and animals and are crate trained.  In their previous life they enjoyed the dog park and doggie daycare.   Hopi and Mohican do not have to be adopted together and have been apart previously.

Amstel, or Louie as he is called at home, is a 8 year old Lab.  Being a seasoned Lab, Louie understands how to behave in almost any environment.  Louie is a calm dog who is easy to walk on a leash.  He can handle children, other dogs, cats, and busy households.  Louie doesn't know that he is 8 and often acts younger.  His favorite activity is retrieving toys.  Louie must have 2 or 3 opportunities to play each day.  If he does not get exercise he will find an outlet for his energy - usually by digging very impressive holes in your yard.  This is important - proper exercise each day eliminates Louie's desire to dig.

Louie is fabulous in the house.  He does not counter surf or get on the furniture (at least while we are at home) or have accidents in the house.  Louie is very respectful of people and would not think of jumping up on you. He was in very poor condition when he entered Lab Rescue.  Louie currently weighs about 80 pounds, but could stand to gain about another 5 pounds.

Louie would be a wonderful addition to a house that wants an active older dog with manners.

Acer is a handsome 2 year old yellow Lab who was scavenging the neighborhood for his meals and was a little neglected in his short life. What surprises me is how smart and well mannered he is. He is a great foster Lab. He is playful but not rambunctious, and is polite and knows how to sit and he listens intently. He has not counter surfed and is not mouthy. Not much of a chewer but does have his eye on the stuffed Meercat. Something tells me Meercat may not be around much longer. Acer likes other dogs and kids. (don't know about cats yet but in a few days he is going to meet my neighbor's 4 kitties). He is loving and just loves to hear kind words.(OK, who doesn't?). I feel like we are living with Scooby Doo.

Scooby, er, I mean Acer, is a bigger boy at about 75 pounds. He needs to gain about 5 pounds , otherwise he is a good looking young man.
He cried softly the first two nights in his crate so we let him sleep in the bedroom in a dog bed and he slept all night. He was just so happy to be near someone. He checked a couple of times to make sure I was still there and then went back to sleep. He has another week or two of rest after his heartworm treatment before he is ready for a forever home.

This sweet boy is a keeper.

Pioneer is housebroken, crate trained and is a sweet young girl with typical Lab energy that just needs some attention and exercise!

The name is DeRosa but you can call me "Sweetheart".I'm the other short tail of the group. I'm a bit squatty with a set of white back toes, chest and chin... giving me a unique look and fitting with my ultra-sweet personality. I have the cutest waddle walk and love to greet all my guests with a gentle "how do you do?". I like to be held but that may not last long since I'm a growing girl. I can still enjoy my favorite belly rubs no matter how big I get. Ready to meet you whenever you are. Please get your application filled out fast!

DeRosa's breed status cannot be determined and as such we have reduced the $350 puppy adoption fee to $250.

Emerson is a beautiful one and a half year old sweetheart. He walks well on the leash, knows how to sit and is crate trained. He loves to retrieve and he loves to play catch with his rope toy. He likes people and he also gets along well with his foster sister Lab. Emerson is well on his way to being housebroken. He is very smart and will be a fun dog to train. He would be a great addition to a family.

Hi everybody!  My name is Shelby and I am a special little bitty girl (only about 55 pounds!) with a petite frame that holds a great big heart!  It's been a pretty tough road for me but Lab rescue has taken good care of me and I am back in great health.  I just love people and I can't get enough hugs and wet kisses!  My favorite place is right next to my foster parents, but I am just fine lying on my bed or I am fully crate trained!

There is probably nothing I love more than a good belly rub and I will stop in my tracks if I think I'm going to get one!  I get along great with my black Lab foster brother and though we like to chase the tennis ball together outside, we are calm in the house.  I am great with young kids as well, and I love to play with them but I always do so gently and I am the perfect height to give them kisses.  I haven't been around cats very much lately, but they don't really interest me when I run into them on my walks.

 My foster parents always tell me how smart I am, and I can sit on command and am working on fetching the tennis ball.  I take pride in the fact that I'm not a barker and am learning to use my perfect manners when I'm in the house.  I really love long walks with my foster family, and I am very calm when using my training leash.

I have a mild form of epilepsy but it is now under control due to my medication and I'm ready to find my perfect family.  If you'd like to learn more please reach out to my foster parents; they love to talk about me!  I am a very calm, sweet girl with so much love to give, and the only thing that would make my life complete is a forever home to share with someone who loves me too.  I hope it's you! 

Apple is an absolute sweetheart! She was pulled from a shelter before arriving at our house but clearly was used to living in a home and following the rules. Apple is completely house broken and crate trained. Though she has only been with us a short time she is already trusted in the house when we are gone. Apple is wonderfully calm. She never jumps and the word "rowdy" is not in her vocabulary. She gets along fine with other dogs but prefers to be with the human occupants when they are home. Apple is a large Lab, coming in at an eye-popping 98 lbs.  Though she needs to trim down a bit, her ideal weight will still leave her in the large Lab category. This girl has no bad habits we have discovered but she will need some leash training. Apple is a low maintenance Lab who will fit in with almost any household!

Hewitt or Huey as we call him is a bundle full of fun and gives great Labbie kisses! He is sweet as can be- how could you resist that cute face? He is still very much a puppy in that he is playful. He loves to go for walks and walks great on a leash. He is almost fully housebroken- he will go to the door to let you know, you just have to watch for it. He knows how to sit and we are still working on our p's and q's. Huey is crate trained. He sleeps all night in his crate and does great while his foster mommy is at work. He gets along very well with his foster sister and the two small kids in the house. He is still learning lots and just loves to please you. When he looks at you and he gives you kisses you can't help but smile and know you have helped him have a better life.

Hi everyone, I'm Avanti. I have a cool, small tail, a tiny tinge of a brown in my fuzzy black fur and just a dash of white on my chest. I'm the biggest of the litter and the biggest lover too! But enough about my unique cute looks...I like to play tug-of-war with my siblings but like naptime too, especially on the grass or steps, on a warm afternoon. I'm very relaxed and nothing seems to phase me. My nickname is "Super Fluffy," but I also go by "Chill," cause I am so easygoing. I'm still growing in size and personality. I'm ready to cuddle with my forever family. Get your application in/approved, to come see me!

Avanti's breed status cannot be determined and as such we have reduced the $350 puppy adoption fee to $250.

Ridley here, peace and love to you all...I'm tall, sleek and just a tiny white patch on my chest, tiny toes and chinny, chin chin. I seem to be a relaxed, passive soul. However, I do like playtime, tugging, chasing and playing with our toys but enjoy the balance of stretching and naptime. I get along well with others both canine and human. I seem to do well alone or with the group. I'm sure that when I'm old enough I will enjoy strolls through the park or runs, if you prefer...as I have a strong, muscular build. I'm hopeful to find my forever home soon.

Ridley's breed status cannot be determined and as such we have reduced the $350 puppy adoption fee to $250.

Rex is a handsome, friendly, and easy-going Lab and he really knows how to lay on the charm. It didn't take long for Rex to settle in with his foster family and make himself right at home. He is potty-trained and crate trained and occasionally admits he knows the command 'sit'. Rex is energetic, has an especially enthusiastic tail and doesn't know his own size/strength. He likes to spend his time chewing bones or bird and squirrel watching or just napping at your feet. Rex stays in a crate during the day, but sleeps outside of his crate on a dog bed at night. He is an especially good snuggler and is always ready to have his ears scratched or be petted. Rex is very strong and doesn't seem to have any leash training- so he will need a strong owner to work with him so that they can mutually enjoy walks together and because of his occasional jumping and lack of knowing his own size/strength, Rex would do best in a home without young children. If you're looking for an energetic pet that provides a lot of affection, and are willing to put in the time to train him, Rex will be a great partner.

Mama Cycle started life off rough.  In December she was found in a snow storm pregnant.  In January she had six beautiful babies.  She came to her permanent foster home to recover from giving birth and to get back into shape.  She has finished shedding her lighter, weathered coat and she is now a beautiful chocolate Lab.  She is potty trained and rides well in a car.  She knows sit, come and will now "stay" at the front door when commanded to do so when people are leaving.  She loves being around other dogs.  They are so much fun to play with.  She loves being chased by other dogs and I'm not too sure there is one that could catch her.   She loves playing tug-of-war, especially with other dogs.  Mama also loves to "hunt" birds and squirrels in the backyard.  She's never caught one but they stop her in her steps everytime.  She enjoys laying on the first step of the pool.  Swimming is ok but she would prefer just to soak in the water.  Mama loves kids and just looks at the cats in the house.  I think at first she thought they may be her pups but now she just doesn't know what to think of them, so she just keeps her distance.  She sleeps all night without making a sound.  When no one is home, she stays in her crate.  She loves attention and expects a lot of it.  She likes to be babied and loves a tummy rub.  It seems she would love to live in a home with another dog, but would be fine without one.  She will easily become part of your family.  Make her your forever pup. 

Sanyo is an adorable, precious 6 month old chocolate Lab puppy. She is full of life, and a typical puppy. She is inquisitive and fearless. She loves to play hard with the big dogs and then collapse for a quick power nap. She is smart and is learning all the things puppies need to learn. She is learning to go potty outside but still has accidents occasionally. She loves toys and drags every one of them out of the basket daily. She sleeps well at night in a crate, but usually has to go out for a potty break if she goes to bed before 10:30. (It's hard for a puppy to go 8 hours without a break.)
She loves to play outside but has a fondness for nibbling on the plants outside so we are careful to supervise.

At night she will snuggle up next to you and fall fast asleep. She would do well with someone who has time to spend with her and would love a family with older kids. She gets along fine with other dogs and cats.

Hey I'm Sterling.  I'm small, silky and pure black.  Not to brag but I'm a very pretty girl.  I am sassy. energetic and love to play in all the sports: wrestling, chase the ball, tug-of-war and I'm working on fetch.  At the end of the day I like a good snuggle.  I'm game for adoption, how about you?    Make sure you join the game by filling out an application!

Sterling's breed status cannot be determined.

LOVEBUG DELUXE is what Daffy should be named!  She is quick to rollover for a belly rub and is the first dog to find the kiddos when they go outside to play.  She loves people and wants to please you.  Daffy is fairly calm considering she is a 12 week old Lab puppy.  She is doing well on her house training and is content to chew on her bones which she has collected on her dog bed.  She likes the other dogs and will play with them, but prefers to hang out with the humans here.  She ignores the cats and seems to have no use for them! 

Pilsner is a playful, sweet kisser with lots of energy and a cute smile.  He gets along well with our two dogs and even tolerates our cat.  Loves to go on walks and would be a great jogging companion.  He listens well and will make a great family pet.

He is medium sized (about 65 lbs), does well on a leash, has mastered sit and is working on down and stay.  Not a single accident in the house (so far) and we trust him more and more each day.  He is happy when lounging on his dog bed and even happier when sleeping with us.

Hi! I'm Guinness! I guess I got that name 'cause I may have been a little "stout" but all of that is changing since I am slimming down.  My foster mom thinks I am a beautiful girl with classic Lab looks. She likes that I am good in the house too. I don't chew on anything except for toys and she is amazed that I won't get on the furniture. I just have good manners! Of course, I am trained to go potty outside and I am crate trained too.

I was an owner surrender which means my owner couldn't take care of me anymore so me and my buddy were dropped off at a shelter. I was so scared!!!! Things are better now that I am in a foster home but I would like a family of my very own.

I have a big foster brother but I don't like him much . I think he is going to steal my duck if he gets too close. I am starting to trust him a little but for now he can go get his own duck.

I REALLY like my duck. I don't go anywhere without my duck. So my foster mom will tell you that these ducks live at Petsmart and I have to have a duck at my new home. Mom laughed because the duck is in all of my photos .

I am very healthy and have a cute walk and gorgeous black coat with a tiny little white spot on my chest. I am a very happy girl and I will give you kisses if you would like to meet me!

See you soon!!

Kasteel is a tiny little girl who only weighs 48 pounds. She has a beautiful sleek black coat that accentuates her soft chestnut brown eyes and pearly white teeth. She has a tiny white dot on her chest and chin. What a perfect combination - small dog with a big Lab heart and temperament!

Her age is listed at 4 years old, but she sure acts like a puppy.  Since she was a stray, I guess it's hard to know her age for sure but she acts like a 1 or 2 year old.  She likes to chew on anything just as a puppy would during the growing up phase.  But no damage yet so I think this is very trainable.

She's been a quick learner of fetch and absolutely loves it!  It's hilarious to watch her pounce after the ball.  She flies through the air like superman and is all paws landing on the ball.

She walks fine on the leash and doesn't pull, but she's still learning where she is supposed to walk so that she doesn't cross into her two foster brothers or get under my feet.

She's very sweet and has no problem jumping into your lap to greet you.  We are working on "DOWN" and "SIT" which she understands but needs to remember more often.   

She sleeps great at night and she has been going to the bathroom outside...so far so good!  She gets along wonderfully with everyone in the house.

Kasteel is a great dog for anyone looking for an energetic, playful dog who is older than a young puppy but yet still very youth like in her behavior.  She will do wonderful in a home that provides love and security for her.  She has an endless supply of kisses to let you know how happy she is!

Beautiful, sweet, friendly, GREAT with everyone (all dogs and people) black Lab that was found as a stray wearing a bark collar... he is amazing and one of the nicest Labs in the world... very calm, sweet and also playful!

Lola is a 12 week old (born 12-31-10) female Lab pup.  She loves to play ball and chase the big Labbies around.  She has no fear of water and loves to go for a swim-followed by a roll in the dirt!  She is doing well on her house manners and learning to sit for treats and food.  Lola is used to kids and likes to chase them when they ride their bikes (and steal their toys when they are left behind!).  Lola loves other dogs and doesn't bother the cats.  She will make a great companion for the active family.

My name is Trek.  I'm a big boy and have a chill-laxed personality.  Fluffy black fur with a shield of white on my chest I might just be a superhero in training.  I like a good amount of playtime then I prefer to just rest and watch the others carry on the games - it is great entertainment.  I may not be a super hero but I'm super cute and my super powers will melt your heart.  I'm looking forward to settling in my new forever home. Who is looking for an adorable, dedicated, loveable black Labby for Life?  You know the drill, fill out your application, so we can be matched up to meet.

Trek's breed status cannot be determined.

Wow!  This is one fantastic boy!  Amager was picked up as a stray and taken to a shelter.  No one came to claim him so Lab Rescue pulled him from the shelter just in the nick of time.  This 75lb boy has since had a seamless transition to our home.  He immediately adapted to our house with kids, another dog and our crazy schedule.  Amager is completely house broken, does not chew, does not bark and does not dig.  He has loads of energy; he is a two year old Lab after all!  But he will settle down nicely when no one is available to play.   He is in his crate when we are gone during the day but sleeps on his bed at night.  Amager has not been around cats so we are unsure of his attitude on that subject.  He will need some basic training on commands along with some leash training.  Amager is an absolute delight and will make someone a wonderful companion.

Fred is one of the most handsome Labs you would ever meet. Around 3 years of age, he has a noble block head and a regal gaze. This 70 pound boy behaves well in public, loves to play a game of fetch or chase, adores the swimming pool, enjoys car rides, and will sit quietly beside you in the house. Fred loves walks, and is eager to please. He even enjoys a good conversation with his foster mom now and then.

Fred doesn't have to be crated, but will crate if asked. He gets along well with other dogs. Well, after the first five minutes of seeing who can bark the loudest, he then has to decide whom to play with first! He is great with kids, and loves his toys. He is fully house-trained.

If you're looking for a classic, easy-going Lab to complete your family, come meet Fred.

I am one of the tallest, slender ones of my siblings.  I am mostly black, with just a pencil line of white on my chest.  I have an elegant sweet nature.  My kisses are the best big long licks from my long tongue-very gentle.  I'm not obsessed with kissing, but just want to show the love to those that will have me!  I am learning come, prefer to potty outside, and like to play tug and wrestle with my siblings.  I've been told that my tail wags BIG, just like my Mom's.   We are both extremely happy to have been rescued and looking forward to our forever home.  I got smooth moves and look forward to showing my skills to my forever family.  Applications are required before I can be promised to a full-time family, so please don't hesitate.

Bianchi's breed status cannot be determined.

This sweet girl was trying to live in a cold barn and take care of her babies. She was picked up as a cruelty case and brought into the shelter, where it was still not warm enough. She is just a doll to her babies and lets you spend as much time with her and them as you would like. She does quite well in the house, for a former outside dog. She likes other dogs, and loves kids. She and her babies will be nursed back to health in no time.

Sony is a classic 2-year old-ish Lab in the making: Eager to please, intelligent, a quick learner, loyal and a well balanced companion.

His affection is unsurpassed with lots of cuddling and kisses. Neighborhood walks on a leash and rides in the car are big fun, along with retrieving his frisbee in the backyard. Sony is fully crate trained and cat friendly. He will be a wonderful addition to any family.

Bio coming soon!

My name is Taz and I am a handsome boy. I love to play with my foster brothers (Labs) although they do not always want to play with me but they do let me steal their bones from them. I love to play with my toys. My sister Penelope and I chase each other until we are so tired we have to sleep. We love to play tug of war and fetch the ball. I love my kennel so much that when I want to take a nap I will just go in it so no one will bother me while I sleep. I am getting better at letting my foster parents know that I need to go outside to potty. I love to cuddle with my foster parents and have my belly rubbed. I sleep all night in my kennel without crying. Please come meet me I know you will fall in love with me and take me to my forever home.

Bio coming soon!

My name is Penelope (Penny for short) and I am a sweet loving little girl. I love playing outside with my brother Taz and playing tug of war with him. I have already learned to play fetch because I love to get the ball before my brother can get it. My foster brothers (Labs) do let me crawl on them and even let me steal their bone from them. I am doing really good at letting my foster parents know that I need to go outside to potty although I still have an occasional accident in the house. I do sleep all night in my kennel without bothering my foster parents. I love to cuddle. If you want to meet me give my foster parents a jingle and take me to my forever home.

Honey is a 4 year old female Lab that is very sweet and affectionate. She loves people of all ages and especially likes to snuggle, she thinks she is a 70 pound lap dog! Although she has a lot of energy, she is calm in the house and likes to be by your side. She enjoys her kong and the treat inside. She likes to run, swim (or play in water from the hose, puddles, etc.) and play with other dogs. Honey likes to be petted especially when a tummy rub is included! Honey is crate and house trained, and she currently sleeps out of her crate at night. She will sit and come when asked. She also rides well in a car.

Hello, my name is Hunter and I am 2yrs old.I am a fun loving young handsome boy.My story is not unique but all too common.I somehow became lost and was running around the woods scared.I found myself in a small town shelter and nobody came to look for me.After a few days I heard some talk that my time was up and I was going to sleep that afternoon.My angel, a dog rescue lady came in and took me out of there just in the nick of time.I went to the vet and got all fixed up.They tell me I have a mild case of Heartworms and so I get to hang out with my foster family during my quiet time.My foster family tells people that I am a cuddle bug that is super sweet and playful.I have foster sisters and a foster brother that I love to play with.I am a submissive and a very handsome boy.I am housetrained, crate trained and I know how to sit, lay down and I walk fairly well on the leash.I am in my terrible 2s and like to chew stuff but I am reminded that there are only certain things I am allowed to chew on and I am getting it. I have met lots of children of various ages and really enjoy them all. If I have a choice I will choose to sleep in the bed with you and get as close to you as I possibly can.I really love being around people.I have not seen any cats around here so I am not sure what I will think of those guys.I am a typical Lab and figured out what a swimming pool is and I love it.I am a very fast learner and have eyes that will melt your heart.If you are looking for a 4legged brown fur kiddo that has tons and tons of love to offer for many years to come I am your guy.

He is precious.. He is calm, sweet, friendly, affectionate and just GREAT with all of the other dogs. He "sits" he "shakes" and is just like a big teddy bear! He deserves to be loved and happy! A five year old gentle fellow, Cheddar recently completed 60 days of heartworm treatment. After completing his treatment it was discovered that he had a small tumor, a form of skin cancer.  Surgery (to remove a portion of a front paw), recovery and two months later...no loss of function and a clean bill of health . 

Bio coming soon!

Pirla has finished heart worm treatment and is now available. Please check back for an updated bio on her.

Messa is a beautiful and loving girl and is completely at home with her foster family. She loves playing with her foster Lab brother, especially with dog toys and chewing bones. She doesn't seem to like the game of fetch very much, but she loves going on walks. She seems to have a nose for scouting out birds in the bushes or small animals underneath long field grasses. When she's not doing that, she's laying by my side as my companion no matter what I'm doing. She loves getting attention and would be a wonderful dog for someone who is either looking for companionship or to add another dog to their family.

She sleeps all night in her crate next to us , and is very good when she is crated when we are gone running errands. She does very well with learning the rules, as she has learned to stay off the furniture very quickly and go to the bathroom outside on her regular outdoor breaks.

Messa has had quite a journey ending up at DFW Lab Rescue, including completing heartworm treatment, but this has not affected her wonderful disposition and makes you realize what an amazing dog she is. She would do wonderful in any loving home and definitely deserves to find her forever home!

This sweet guy was found as a stray with a black male mix.  They were separated at the Shelter and Opie was scared.  He was listed as fearful and put on the EU list with no chance to prove himself.  He is just a doll, that was a little confused by where he was, but he never stopped wagging his tail or giving kisses.  He met another male and the only thing that stunned Opie, was that the other male wasn't ready to play play play. He did wonderful with a cat test and is doing well on a leash.  He needs to learn that life as a Lab will never be bad again, but he has learned a ton in just a few days.  He thinks the car rides are fun, fun, fun, just not on a full stomach please!!!! 

My name is Samaras and I am the BEST lab ever!  I weigh 65 pounds and am house broken, crate trained, get along with other dogs AND cats. I haven't been around kids but I bet I would love them too.  I love my foster parents and follow them around the house watching everything they do.  I love snuggling up on the couch with an adult, but I only do it when given permission.  I like long walks out in our pasture and go with everyone else in the pack.  I haven't tried swimming yet as it has been too cold, but I love to fetch.

I can be trusted to sleep in the bedroom on the floor with my new family.  They sure are doing a good job of taking care of me with all their hugs and kisses.  I don't really like to give kisses but on rare occasions, will give one or two...they gotta know how much I love and appreciate all this care and family bonding they are giving me.

I am very laid back in the house, preferring to just lay by my fosters feet, looking at them with love and admiration in my eyes.
I will sure make someone a great pet as soon as my heartworm treatment is over. Someone sure will be lucky to get me as their forever doggy!

Samaras is going through heart worm treatment and will be available soon. Please check back for an update on her.

Tiago is a housetrained 75 pound 4 year old Lab with a wonderful spirit.  He is tolerant of other dogs (including bossy small dogs) and children.  His previous home reported Tiago was tolerant of cats - we don't have cats and can not confirm this claim.  Tiago is a low to medium energy dog who plays outside and settles down nicely in the house.  He likes to play with toys especially balls of any size.  Like other Labs, Tiago likes to have a toy to carry in his mouth.  If there is not a toy available he will find something to carry. Tiago is not a watch dog as he ignores doorbells or knocks on the door.

Tiago will be undergoing heartworm treatment and not available until February.   

House has comfortably settled into his foster home with his perfect "house" manners.  Although he is crate trained, he can be trusted to have freedom in the house.  He waits patiently at the door when he needs to go outside, but also stands patiently waiting to be let back in without even scratching.  He doesn't obnoxiously beg for attention, but sits calmly by your side or rests his head in your lap for a good ol' ear scratching.  He sleeps next to his foster parents bed at night along with their small dog and cat.  He gets along famously with them and especially loves kids. 

He has many favorite activities, but really loves to ride in the car to pick up the kids from school.  He has a keen nose for balls and can find them anywhere and carries them proudly wherever he goes.  He loves to retrieve the tennis ball and obediently drops it at your feet while anxiously awaiting the next throw.  In the house, his favorite game is "catch it in the air".  He's quite the pro at jumping up and catching toys in the air. 

He walks very obediently on a leash without pulling or tugging.  When he is fully recovered from his heartworm treatment, we will start jogging with him as we can tell he will be an awesome running partner. He has had a blast in all the snow we've had lately. House is the perfect balance of "calm in the house" and active retriever/playmate when you want to play.  He is used to having someone home most of the time and works well within an active family. He was picked up as a stray with his sister, "Toll", who is also available for adoption.  I'm sure he misses her so if anyone would love a couple of perfect Labs, they would love to be together. He obviously has had training as he sits and shakes on command.  He seems to be very adaptable to almost any home as long as it's full of love, hugs, and ear scratches. 

Hello, my name is Nesta.  I am 5 years old.  My foster parents say that I am the sweetest dog they know.  I'm very polite and don't beg for food.  I am an attention hound though.  I love it when people pay attention to me and rub my belly.

I get along great with my foster brothers.  They are from DFW Lab Rescue too!  My foster parents say that I play really nice with them.  I share all of our toys and treats.  The cat that stays at our house doesn't have much to do with me.  That's ok.  I don't mind a bit.  Perhaps one day we can play together too.

The vet says I weigh 130 pounds so he has me on a diet.  I require a special dietary dog food and lots of exercise.  I love it when my foster parents take me for walks.  They say I am pretty good on the leash.  I also have a thyroid problem that will require medication.  I hope to be adopted to a great family after I complete my heart worm treatment.

Nesta is going through heart worm treatment and will be available soon. Please check back for an update on her.

Venus is a love bug, about 80 lbs, who has obviously been an indoor dog. She is very self-assured - sniffed around her foster home for about 2 minutes, then made herself at home on the couch. She loves all people, and any time a dog is being petted, she will try to get in on the action.

She gets along well with other dogs and is super easy going; she retreats immediately at any unhappy behavior from any dog, no matter what size. She's a lover, not a fighter, who prefers the attention of people. She's very smart and takes direction extremely well - once she knows what to do she will do it without being asked. She learned almost instantly to sit and wait for her food until released with a hand command. She loves to play fetch, and sets the ball down gently at your feet. She walks well on a leash with a choke chain. She is crate-trained and potty trained.

Cleo is the sweetest young Lab you will ever meet.  She loves people (and dogs) and is eager to please.  She loves jogging and playing fetch.  She loves other dogs and is very easy going; she retreats immediately at any unhappy behavior from any dog, no matter what size.  She learns quickly, and loves to walk obediently on a leash.  She is house-broken and crate-trained. 

Although she is sweet and loving, she will do best in a home where she is not left alone for long periods of time, because she's a young girl who gets bored quickly.

I am one well rounded boy. I love all the dogs and cats I have met, kids, adults, and anything I can lick. Not just that, but I am house trained, know basic commands to include sit, down, and shake, and I am a snuggle bug who is happy to lay with you on the couch or huddle at your feet. I am a big guy, weighing in at 95lbs., but I am really good at making sure I don't knock you down or run anything smaller than myself over. The one thing you need to watch out for is my tail because I am happy happy all the time.

Toll will win your heart in the blink of an eye! This beautiful girl instantly felt at ease with her foster family and is a pleasure to have in the house. Toll comes free of the typical bad habits like begging for food, excessive barking, chewing, etc.

She is gentle and caring and won't even touch things on the floor like beef tenderloin until you tell her it is OK. Toll walks well on a lead and although she and her brother "House" were outdoor dogs, she seems to be completely house-trained and has no problem being left alone indoors. She is also great about all the standard obedience commands and is crate-trained.

Toll is wonderful with her foster family children and dog. She loves to play and to snuggle next to the children while they do their homework. She doesn't even complain about the resident 7-year-old human trying to sleep on her dog bed with her, she just seems to enjoy the company! (See photo) She is attentive to her foster family and resident dog, but not in an obsessive way. She just likes to give out kisses and her fur is soft like luxurious brown velvet too!

This wonderful dog is the catch of a lifetime and has vast amounts of love to give.

Should you want to double the fun, her brother House is also available and just as sweet. The two seem to be fine separated but would love to be adopted together too!

Toll is currently undergoing heartworm treatment but will be finished soon and as good as new.

Beckham is a handsome, sweet, playful dog with a wonderful disposition and cute smile.  He gets along well with our two dogs and even our cat.  Loves to go on walks, play fetch and is a great jogging companion.  He's very affectionate (big kisser), listens well and will make a great family pet.

A healthy boy (about 75 lbs), he's a little pudgy and currently on a New Years diet (just like us).  Does well on a leash, has mastered sit and is working on down and stay.  House broken and not a single accident in the house.  He is getting more comfortable in his new surroundings each day.

Pele is a 2 year old male who has really impressed his foster. He is on the smaller side, weighing in at about 60 lbs. He is also well-trained and an extremely gentle boy. If you are looking for someone polite and petite, please consider Pele. And keep an eye out for an updated bio coming soon.

Keegan is an energetic two year old who loves to play.  He can play fetch in the backyard or lay down inside.  He is very good with little kids.  As you can see in one of his pictures, he is content with cuddling on the floor.  
    He is a very cute dog with big floppy ears and big paws.  At times he is a little clumsy and will step on your toes.  Keegan would do best with an active family with slightly older children. He is housetrained and crate trained.  When taking walks he does very well on the leash and does not pull too hard.  If you would love a playful and loving pup, come see Keegan!

Hi! My name is Chip. I'm actually a Choclolate Chip. I am a little over 1 1/2. I enjoy playing and wrestling with my foster sister and am learning to fetch the ball. I am crate trained and love to go in there especially when the humans give me a treat. I spend around 8 hours a day while they work to bring more dog food home.

At night I sleep next to my foster sister in my parents room. I like to go on walks and love sight seeing, but need more practice at healing. I have not had the opportunity to play with any children or cats but would imagine it to be fun. I like to watch other animals on tv and also like to bark at the dog in the mirror. I am looking for a new forever home.

Chip is more fun every day. He had some skin, possibly allergy issues when we first got him. After a visit to the vet and some fun baths his coat and skin are much nicer. We have been feeding him Lamb and rice food to help his skin heal. He does eat regular dog treats and likes chewies. He weighs around 65 lbs.
