AVAILABLE DOGS

These dogs are searching for their forever home...

The following is a representative list of Labs available for adoption through the Dallas | Fort Worth Labrador Retriever Rescue program. On average we have approximately 30 Labs in foster homes. Labs come into the program and are adopted daily, so this is not always a complete listing. All dogs are spayed or neutered and tested heartworm negative unless otherwise stated. Adoption fees for an adult Lab is $250 and puppies (6 months and under) are $350.

Prior to meeting our available Labs, we require that you complete our adoption approval process which begins with completing the on-line adoption questionnaire. The adoption process is initiated only when we have received a completed application. It is important that you fill out the application completely, incomplete information may delay the process! If you have additional questions, please contact us.

You may leave a message at 972.881.5544. Please understand, this voice mail is not checked daily; our volunteers typically return calls within five to seven days.

Hi! My name is Watson and I need a new home. My last owner had to give me up but not because I wasn't the most wonderful, best behaved dog...just some bad luck. I'm a gentleman and know how to behave. I even know not to scratch at the door when I want in...I just hop up and down so you'll notice me. I love to play fetch but I'm not pushy about it. My foster mom says I'm a laid back sort of fella.

I know all the basic commands and I'm crate trained, but I prefer sleeping on a dog bed next to my foster parents bed. I've earned the trust of my foster parents so they let me have the run of the house. I sure hope you can find a place in your home and heart for me. You won't be sorry!

Hello, my name is Cassie (Peach) and my favorite place to be is wherever you are! I love to chase the tennis ball, I am a fan of water on hot days and I am full of energy. If you are looking for company on your run or walk, I will keep pace nicely.  I am also a fan of lounging on the couch next to you as well.

I am trusted in the house while my foster parents are at work, I don't need my crate anymore. I will go into a crate if you want me to otherwise I may get on the couch or the bed while you are gone, but I promise not to destroy it...just keeping it warm for your return.

I have 3 foster siblings and a cat at my house, who I get along with just fine.  We like to play and have fun chasing the squirrels in the backyard and sometimes chasing each other (whoever has the ball is being chased, usually me).

Cassie (Peach) is available for $175 as her breed status cannot be determined.

Fred is one of the most handsome Labs you would ever want to 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 car rides and sits happily beside you in the house. If you offer him a leash walk, he's all ready to go.  Fred learns quickly and is eager to please

When you open the door to the garden, he becomes "frisbee" Fred. He can't wait to play with balls or toys and scampers around with his foster sister. He does well with teenagers, but is too prey driven to stay with a cat. If you want a gorgeous easy-going new member of your family, come meet Fred!

Hi, I am Shelby.  I am looking for my fur-ever home.  I am still in the puppy stage and love attention.  If you try to pet me, I will roll on my back so you can rub my belly. I really like to eat so you will need to make sure any food is put up because I don't have much self control.   I like to eat socks, so you will need to make sure you keep them off the floor.  I currently have mild seizures but they are not scary and only happen a couple times a week!  The doctors said that my seizures could progress as I get older, but all Labs are prone to seizures.  If mine progress and I need to go on medication, they said it would cost $40- $50 a month.  I love to snuggle, especially at bedtime.  Did I mention, I love the water?  I currently get to lay around in my own baby pool when I go outside and I don't mind staying in a kennel while you're gone.   I like to play with kids, but I am not sure how I do with cats, since I have not met one close up yet.  If you think I might be a good fit for your family, then I would love to meet you.

  Remington - 7.3 Year Old Male


Remington

Status - ADOPTION PENDING

We call him Remy for short and he is a sweet, handsome and gentle yellow lab. They tell us he is 7 years old but he has aged very well and still has lots of puppy in him. He has a gorgeous coat and a big block head with adoring eyes. He will follow you everywhere to "help" with household chores, then will lay at your feet or side and plop his head in your lap for an ear rub. He is a big kisser! He is a very gentle walker, no pulling or chasing while out and about. He does love to grab our 3 year olds stuffed animals but he surrenders them gently and he eagerly awaits for his cheerios and snacks to possibly hit the floor. He has been road tested by our little boy who loves to lay his head on him while watching TV and hugs him endlessly. Remy loves the attention and has not one aggressive bone in his body. He is potty and crate trained. He needs to put on a little weight but again he is stunningly beautiful and will make a wonderful addition to any home.

Ashe is a big block headed boy weighing in at 90lbs and is just the biggest teddy bear you will ever meet.

This guy loves people and is always looking for love from them. He is learning how to live with a pack and is day by day getting used to socializing with our own dogs, but I just know he will get it down pat very soon...it's a new experience for him and he needs time to adjust to his new surroundings. He is wonderful on walks and does perfect with introductions to dogs and people he meets while out.

Not only is this boy house trained, but he hits the doorknob to the back door with his nose if he has to go potty. He will do well with or without other dogs but may need someone who is not gone all day long. And don't forget the toys, he longs to run around and shake his head with a stuffed animal in his mouth, or steal the ball from his foster sister!!!

Hello there, My name is Carly and I am a super sweet little lady.  I am about 6 years old, am very well behaved and am very calm and just like to be right beside you.  I love to play around and go on walks, although I could use a bit more leash training.  I like to announce all the new visitors that ring our doorbell.  I use a doggy door and I am house trained and crate trained, but love sleeping on the bed next to my foster mom at night.  I live with my two lab foster sisters and we all get along great.  I am also great with kids.  I sure do love car rides and like to stick my head out the window and take in all the fresh air.  I did have Pancreatitis a few years ago, but now I am all better.  I just stay on a low fat diet (Lamb and Rice).  I am very sweet, super affectionate, and extremely gentle for my size.  I can't wait to find my forever home so that I can cuddle up every night with my new family.

This little man was found as a stray with his sisters and is just not sure about what is going on  He is very scared, but wags his tail, loves to get petted, and does well in the car. 

He was infested with ticks and just sat there while I removed over 75 from his body. He needs LOTS of love and attention so that he can learn that people and homes are a great thing!

Lexus is a playful young lady who is enjoying life! She was out on the streets for a while and I am not sure she has ever spent much time indoors. She was terrified of coming into the house when she arrived at her foster parents and really put on the brakes.  With a little food and a lot of loving she caved and cautiously entered.She still is afraid of cars and the garage although she is well behaved while riding in the car. She has become more trusting in the last 2-3 weeks and is so curious about everything! It was so funny when she saw herself in the mirror! She was not eating much the first couple of days but now has a great appetite and loves to get a treat! She is gaining a few needed pounds .She is learning basic commands and walks great on a leash- no pulling! She has discovered balls and toys and plays with them as if this was the first time. She is a very curious dog and and loves to investigate the back yard and every nook and cranny in the house. You must keep an eye on her though because she will steal the bath mats from the bathroom and hide them and likes to snatch the dish towel from the kitchen and take off running - hoping you will chase her!! She is crated during the day so she has lots of energy when foster Mom and Dad come home from work. She is ready to play and a good walk works wonders to take the edge off her pent up energy. She is thriving with a structured lifestyle and a routine . She likes knowing she will eat twice a day and at night she will sleep in her own dog bed in the master bedroom (she cries at night if she is crated away from people in another room). She is a sweet girl who loves to give kisses and lay on the floor at your feet at the end of the day. She plays well with kids when they visit although we don't have kids at home . Lexus is a great lab and deserves a loving home with her very own family.

My name is Mercedes and we need to meet - SOON!! I am one classy canine! Luckily I escaped serious injury and just acquired a large number of passengers along the way - those evil ticks. They are all dead now, but it took some time for me to heal up from their bites. I am very sweet and looking for a home with someone who will love me and give me lots of hugs and pets. I am already trying to be more trusting and hopeful that my new family will love me. I love to hang out with my foster mom and her dog. I really like playing with all of his toys.

My foster mom is trying to fatten me up, as I am pretty skinny right now. I am very curious and like to investigate everything I can, including closets and some other areas I am probably not supposed to be in. I get along well with other dogs and I think I would like cats after I got to know them. In the beginning, I chased my foster mom's cats, but I don't really do that anymore. I want to play with them, but they do not seem very interested.

I will need a little training so that you will know how to communicate with me in a way that I understand. My biggest wish is to find a new family that will love me, spend time with me and make me a part of their family.

Hello fans, its me, Codie. The Vet tells me that I am about 4yrs old. I am a very calm girl. I did have puppies back in my prior life and my story is really unknown. I was rescued and I am in a foster home waiting for a great family to fall in love with me.

I will work very hard for treats. I love to play with children. I am potty trained and crate trained but I have free roam of the house because I have proven how well behaved I am.  I really enjoy being right next to my human friends as well as getting tons of affection. I have figured out the pool is a really fun thing and I enjoy swimming.  I love to play fetch; in fact I will play ball until you are tired. I would be a great outfielder as I can catch the ball mid-air.  I am great on the leash. If you leave anything good to eat on the counters, it's mine. I get along well with my foster sisters and brother, although I do think I am the boss around here. I sleep on the floor by my foster moms bed. I don't get on the furniture, dig, jump fences, run away or chew up things. My teeth in the front are a bit worn but no problems eating. I am a good girl. I believe I am getting a second chance for a great life. I deserve it.

Sincerely Codie

P.S. If you fall for me I will give you years of unconditional love and kisses.

Tex is a handsome, sweet boy that loves people (very affectionate) and is looking for a forever home.  He gets along well with dogs, cats and was an immediate hit at the dog park this morning.

He has outstanding Lab qualities.  Loves to retrieve the tennis ball and drops on command.  Has a good sit, working on stay and does very well on the leash. 

We really liked the fact that he was fully house trained from Day 1 and has had no accidents since entering foster care.  He does okay in a crate, however we leave him free to hang out in the house at night and while we are home.  Tex will flourish in an active home where he can get lots of exercise along with proper training, rules and affection.

Tex is currently undergoing HW treatment please check back

This sweet adorable boy was found as a stray and no one claimed him. He loves other dogs, even small ones, male or female.  Needs to get used to a leash, but considering his size he does pretty good, because I actually stay upright on our walks.  He likes kids and does just wonderful in the car.  He needs some general training, but knows the "no" command...so we are off to a good start.

Squiggy here and I am so very excited to be in my new foster home. I was not so sure about the big dogs at first, but they are so fun to play with that I am having a ball. I have only been with my fosters for a day now, so I am still working on my house training, but I go potty every time I go outside and I am doing really good for a pup my age. Wait till you meet me...my eyes will make you fall in love. Just one look and I will capture your heart.

Come meet me and I will nibble on your face while giving you the best puppy kisses you have ever had.

This is just the most darling chocolate pup you will meet.  She is playful, but calm at the same time, does well in the car, and is good on leash.  She needs some love but she is ready to find a "fur"ever home to take care of her so she never has to see a shelter cage again.

This adorable girl was found as a stray and won the hearts of the shelter staff.  They were all ready to move her up to adoptions, when she tested HW+.  She was scheduled for euthanasia for three days straight, but we kept asking for a reprieve so that we could get her out and now here she is.  Just so happy for the car ride, she needs a good brushing and love.

This adorable boy was purchased from a breeder and then thrown in the back yard as a pup with no shelter or socialization.  He weathered it through the snow and ice last year with no where to keep warm and through the heat this summer with no place to get cooled down and minimal food and water.  He is just sweet as can be and all he wants to do is give kisses, but now that he is at the vets and in a new environment, he is a little nervous.  He needs a home that will love him and care for him.  And most of all he needs to learn that being a Lab is FUN!!!
