Hi there.  My name is Laurel. Thanks for stopping by to say hello. I am really excited to find my forever family. I have had a great time with my foster family but am ready to find my own family. Let me start off by telling you a little bit about myself. While I am 5 years and some change, don't let that fool you. I still have some energy. My foster mom and I have been running in the mornings which I really enjoy. We also go on evening walks. I like to move quickly in the house. I am always the 1st place winner on the race up and down the steps.

I do know my manners  and I know what my toys are and what I am not supposed to touch. When I have to go potty I go to the back door and when my foster mom leaves I go in my crate like a good girl. I actually like my crate and I consider it my safe place. I do still sometimes jump up when I I meet new people, but I have been working hard to control my excitement. 

One of my favorite things to do is have my belly scratched and snuggle with humans. I like to get a lot of attention so I would probably be better off as an only dog. It doesn't mean I don't like other dogs, but I do prefer not to share.

Introducing Rizzo! A sweet, gentle girl with a curious nature and a companion heart. She has good house manners that make her a joy to be with. She does not need to be crated when I leave and sleeps by my bed at night. She politely takes treats and is not a jumper, although she may dance a little with excitement. It’s quite cute to see her little wiggle dance!

Rizzo had a few hard breaks in life that caused her to lose an eye and several teeth, but that doesn’t stop her. It seems that Rizzo has never met a stranger and immediately calmly greets my guests.  She’s active during the day when I’m active, but settles quickly and is a faithful companion while I work from home.  She seems to want nothing more than to stick close by, getting love and scritches.  Although, exploring her yard and keeping us safe from squirrels are also favored activities.  She patiently waits for the end of my workday. Then we’re off doing things before dinner … errands in the car, visiting with friends, or general house and yard work. 

Rizzo gets along very well with her other lab rescue buddies and she lights up when around children, immediately adopting them as her best friend.  Rizzo is working on learning commands like Sit and Stay and would appreciate a family who will continue her training.

Hi there! My name is Chuckie and I'm a happy, sweet, energetic, full of life pup! Life is great now but it has been quite an adjustment. I’m young so I’m learning what is and is not alllowed. I do catch on quickly but still feel the urge to push the limits at times. So yes, frequent reminders are also a good idea. Simply, I’m all about playtime, chewing and getting loved on. Okay, I like mealtime too but don’t feel it comes often enough. I think its because I
can eat a lot since I burn so many calories. 

My fav activity so far is the dog park. It’s a great place for me because I can get my running in and really enjoy playing with all the dogs. When it comes to other outside activities I’m all in! I love to run and am good at riding in the car. I’m still working on the swimming thing tho. Perhaps if someone teaches me more about lakes and pools I could enjoy them as well. 

Wer'e still working on the basic commands but I have sit down! Expecially when food is invloved. I'm also crate trained and have little reluctance going into my crate. This is where I eat, sleep and spend part of the day while no one is home. And if you are wondering, yes my favorite is the eating part!

I love giving kisses and I'm full of love - so if you want some young loving, put me on your list!

This boy is a gem!

Coda is settling in great with his foster family, He has such a good nature and easy temperament. Coda was around our family at Christmas (all 27, all at once- ages 15 months to 65 years old) and loved them all. To be honest, he took it in stride way better than me! Coda is very easy going, he enjoys his snuggle time on the couch as much as his walks and playing fetch. He walks well on a lead, is house trained, and crate trained - although it is not his favorite place to be.

We are currently working on his basic commands and he is treat motivated so this makes this process easy. He uses a doggy door at our home and learned this his first day with us. At night, Coda sleeps by our bed all night and at times has put himself to bed early. He has free roam of the house when we are
gone during the day. He has a bit of a cheeky personality and unwrapped a few Christmas gifts, but no real destructive behavior has been exhibited.

Coda does great with his foster brothers, 2 large labs and one small very grumpy old man. Coda came to us with a “feed alone” tag and we are happy to say Coda has learned that meal time is shared, but meals are not!! This was remedied in the first few weeks, with supervision and redirection. While I have no doubt, he would love to snack on his foster brother’s meal, we are so proud of his restraint.

Coda will be suitable for any family and win over the hearts of all. I can’t wait to introduce him to his forever family!

Hi! My name is Davis and I’m a sweet, gentle, well behaved boy who loves giving kisses and being close to my owner. I enjoy playing with toys, going for walks, and running in the yard. I’m house trained, and don’t chew on anything but my toys, although I do tend to counter surf if things are left out as would any self respecting lab! I’m great with other pets, quickly warm up to strangers and I’m looking forward to finding my forever home.

Slinky is a no fear, blanket dragging, toe biting & wrestle mania king! Like is brother, Lego, he is one of the bigger of the pups and is always into something. Don't let that fool you, this boy also loves a good snuggle and being held!. 

He loves the big dogs in the household and is always trying to play with them and follow them everywhere!

Lego is the biggest male of the bunch and he takes it very seriously! He is such a social guy and is always looking out for his brothers and sisters and thinks maybe being the biggest, he is the guard dog. Lego barks at the blower, mower, cats and anything that seems to be a threat. Never fear, Lego is “on it!!" and will circle, bow and produce some big boy barks to make sure everyone is safe!!

This boy is not fazed by much and would probably do well in a louder kid filled home and he would just add to the racket and fit right in!

Rubik is a very social boy and TOY LOVER Deluxe!! He always has a toy in his mouth and is always at the farthest part in the yard exploring. Rubik loves to chase the big dogs and loves to be held. When not chasing a dog or chewing a toy he can always be found in his dog bed sleeping. This boy loves his sleep and loves his spot and will let the other dogs know if they try to sleep in his spot.

Frisbee is our little shy guy. He wants so bad to be brave and just needs help to do it! He will run at you and put the brakes on 4 feet away to retreat. But pick this boy up and his tail just wags and wags! He is so excited for the attention and he loves cuddles after being caught. 

Frisbee might be best with another dog to show him it’s ok and is probably best in a home without small, loud kids. A more quite and nurtering homee may suit him better while he gains confidence.

Furby is really sweet and quieter than his brother. He will probably be happy in a quieter home without a lot of fast moving smaller children.  He can scare easily and let you know if youpick him up to fast but he absolutely loves to wrestle and chase. Like his brother, Rubik, he always has a toy nearby and loves to play.

This little princess is something special. Spoiled rotten is an understatement. She will not take no when it comes to finding her way to her best teenage girlfriends to sit with, curl up with, sleep with, climb on, lick…….she has no idea she is dog. Her ideal home would be with a blonde, female teenager that loves dogs or someone similar that she can cuddle up to and declare as her BFF!

Rambo is a very gentle, yet big sweet beautiful lab!  He learns very quickly and definitely takes no for an answer.  He loves his doggy siblings and ignores his feline housemates.  He spends his time either getting loves from his humans or playing tug/keep-away with Alum Barley.  And he does cherish his nap time!

Rambo is house trained and a great house guest.  He does fairly well in his crate, but is working on getting over some minor separation anxiety - Definitely making progress.

Who wants to love on this big sweet boy?

I am a sweet, svelte, silky soft young-ish girl. I wasn’t too sure about this thing called a house because I haven’t been allowed in one for a few years, but I have decided inside is the only place to live. My foster sisters have no idea how good they have had it. I love furry blankets, soft cushiony beds and the unlimited toys and chew bones available here. 

It took about a week to decide it was ok to play with these squeaky Kong toys that litter the floors in this house. My foster mom loves to tell anyone who will listen that she thought something was terribly wrong when she heard me barking in her bedroom from the kitchen, and she darted in there only to find me throwing a toy up in the air and either catching it or letting it fall on the floor and barking at it.  Until then, she thought I was sweet but super reserved and had not heard me bark yet.  Let’s just say I like to surprise her and my foster dad on a daily basis with new aspects of my personality.   I know to go potty outside, to sit for treats along with my foster sisters, and to eat all my food in one sitting or my foster sisters will clean my bowl once the crate gets opened to let me out.  I don’t stray far from my foster mom unless foster dad is in the house, and then I can be coaxed away. I try to be their shadow but at only 62 pounds, I don’t quite measure up to a full-sized adult. I get along with my foster sisters, but I think I would like my very own home because none of us want to share our people very much. 

I am getting ready to start looking for my forever family, so if you want a gentle, loving, soft little girl who is just active enough to keep you young but can chill and hang out with the best of them, I might be just what you are looking for.

Mogli is a big, beautiful, and playful pup. He is full of energy but a quick learner and settles down a bit each day that he is with us. He is about a year old and lived the last 6 months with a young woman with limited means who could no longer afford to keep him. Mogli is housebroken, crate trained and knows the commands “sit” and “shake” and is currently learning “stay.” He takes treats gently and loves all toys. For his age, he is good on the leash but will need further guidance. He definitely maintains puppy energy but is quick to settle down and “read the room” when his humans need to work or the resident
Queen Bee lab, Lucy, is not interested in playing with him.

Mogli is a very happy, friendly pup who loves to attention and playtime. Because of his large size, he is probably best suited for a furever home without small children. Often times he forgets he is not a lap dog and may need reminding. Cats are an unknown, but his attention to squirrels on walks through the neighborhood signal that he may not be compatible with a feline home. Ideally, his adopter(s) with have another fur baby to keep him company and play with him.

This sweet, petite girl has such a beautiful dark, wavy coat on her back. Wren was found in far east Texas on a country road with 8 other labs. A rescue coordinated the trapping of all of the dogs and then reached out to other rescues for help finding them homes. This girl has come a long way from the fearful puppy she was when separated from her siblings and pack. She will need patience as she continues to gain trust and blossoms. Wren would benefit greatly from having an adult dog that is very people social. 

Wren loves the resident dogs. She is on the quiet side, but will play when encouraged to. She loves stuffed animals and sunning on the porch. We are working on housetraining and being crated. She is not fond of being alone, so she must be crated when no one is home. 

Wren will make a wonderful addition to a great family!

Hello, everyone! I am sweet abd young girl, born on 2/18/21, 60 pounds and healthy as one can be. I am an owner surrender only because my owners are taking a career change and moving back east. I was told they would be living in a 900 sq ft apartment with no yard. When I found this out, I immediately sent out my bio to every lab rescue I found. You see I am a Texas girl; my crate is bigger than that apartment, and I require a back yard with grass. I was lucky that DFW Lab Rescue responded first and I was taken in by some good foster not far from where I was living. I requested that my foster have two fur friends for me to play with, next time I will ask for two that are younger than 10! 

I get along with dogs, big and small, I love to chase and play games, I also love little kids, they never seem to wear down. I am still young and learning how
to be a good dog but I know the rules of the house and I love to crate at night. I do get very excited when guests come into the house and I have not got the hang of leash walking down, but I'm getting better all the time. One thing for sure is I know what no is, and I’m a fast learner so maybe not perfect yet but with your help I can be.

Oh, and I'll be available soon for meeting my new family so please get in line, I am ready for my forever home.

Soho has recovered from his TPLO knee surgeries and is now ready to find his forever family.   

 From Soho - Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. As you can see, I’m one big gorgeous guy. My Foster Mom tells me I’m a gentle giant (well maybe not so gentle but very loving)  and as sweet as can be.  I’m housed train, get along with my doggy foster brother and even get along with the house cat.  I can be trusted to have have free roam of the house but am happy to sleep in my crate as well.  I tend to barrel into people when i meet them with my excitement but I'm just sure that everyone wants to meet me and give me belly rubs.  Smaller kids who i could knock over easily probably wont be  the best fit.  I love meeting other dogs to say Hi but really I rather just get belly rubs and  hang with the humans.  Im not much of a barker except when my foster Mom is getting my food ready, and then I just have to let her know how hungry I am.  I am pretty much your velco dog and like to get lots of attention, and will let you know when your not giving me enough.  If anyone comes to the house, of course they are there to see me and I just know they all want to give me the appropriate amount of belly rubs before entering.  I am still building up my strength from my knee surgeries but each week i'm walking more and more. .  I'll never be your running buddy but i'll be a great walking partner.  I do have arthritis in my knees so its important that you will keep me on good joint supplements.  I may need occastional anti inflamatory meds to help with flare ups.  

My surrendering family loved me  but unfortunately they had to surrender me because they could not afford my surgeries. They knew that DFWLRR would take great care of me and find me the perfect loving home.   Maybe that will be you

Bellarina is a sweet, beautiful girl with soft, shiny fur. She was found under a porch and was being cared for by a group of neighbors before she came to be part of the DFW Lab Rescue. More than anything, she loves being with people! She is very trusting and will often roll over on her back expecting belly rubs.  She has such a sweet personality and gives lots of kisses! She spent a good part of her early life alone in a crate so she would be happiest in a home where she could get lots of love and attention. Bellarina is just learning to play with balls and toys and she will need patience with crate and house training as she's still young and hasn't had much training.

She is a very neat eater and drinker and is very food motivated, which has been great for training. She seems to be a very smart girl and has already learned a few basic commands. She gets along well with her Lab foster brother and follows him around the yard.  Bellarina is the happiest little puppy and she's ready to find her forever home!

Hi there! My name is Char-Lee (pronounced like Shar- Lee not like Charlie) my foster parents were calling me Charlie and I wasn't responding, but once they got my name right I listened right away and came running LOL.  I am a petite girl with a small frame, but don't let my small size fool you! I am all Lab and my heart is bursting with love!  I am a bit out of sorts with my previous family giving me away and always keeping me in a crate most of the day that I am very starved for attention. I want to just be as close to you as I can and I will even paw at you gently to pet me. I am house trained, crate trained, I know how to sit and give my paw. 

I love toys and chasing a ball. I get a bit nervous when meeting other dogs when I am on a leash but if I am introduced not on a leash I am fine. I can be a bit possessive of my toys when another dog comes around, but have no problem if my foster parents or kids take a toy from me. I absolutely love kids and as long as you are petting me I am happy. I am fitting in with my foster brother and sister dogs very well and although I was a bit unsure at first but now I am good. I will bark at strangers, but will stop when you tell me and and as soon as they pet me.

I love giving kisses, I am full of love and I just need a family that wants to spend the time with me and make me a true member of their pack.  Won't you please make me a part of your family?

McMurphy is a sweet, active typical puppy. He was found as a stray west of Ft. Worth and is mostly potty trained (although like human toddlers and young children sometimes can forget that) and crate trained. He loves to play with toys, chase balls, investigate anything new and eat!  He is super handsome and super smart. He will be an amazing family dog with the right training, attention and love.

Let the adoptions team know if you think McMurphy will be a fit for your family.
