Beltre in the house! Are you a Texas Ranger fan?

I am a “owner surrender”, Beltre is my call name, but for DFWLRRC, I am called Jeff.

If you’re looking for an extra-large, calm boy, I am your pup. I love having my ears scratched or head petted.

For only being 8 mos., I patiently wait for playtime. I can rest when it is called for, but am rearing to go when you’re ready. I will need a large yard to stretch my long legs. Once I am fully grown, I will be over a 100lbs. I will need continued training because I don’t realize how strong I can be.

Small children would probably not be best for me right now since I am still learning good manners. I don’t jump on people unless they have a toy or leash in their hand, then it is a game to me. Foster mom is working with me to be patient enough to wait until the toy is given to me. I can also be a little mouthy at times during playtime.

I love taking walks, but haven’t been trained how to walk  nicely. I am just now learning that pulling is a bad thing to do. My foster brother is teaching me to play frisbee, but I am not a fast runner. I love to play with other dogs, and I seem to run faster when chasing after my foster sister.

I have been very trustworthy in the house. The only time I must be crated is for training and I am doing good when I am contained. I don’t touch anything in the house that isn’t a dog toy. I am also housetrained. No accidents for me, I can sleep all night. I have on occasion dabbled in a little counter surfing. But, I haven’t really taken any food, since there isn’t any to get to.

I ride great in a car, I just sleep the time away. I would also love to snuggle with you, but foster mom isn’t allowing me on the furniture. I don’t seem to mind seeing the resident cat when she shows up at the window. Thunder and lightning, no problem!

I am learning sit, down, off, leave it, and heel. Foster mom thinks I am a fast learner.

When foster mom takes out her foster puppy in the middle of the night, I am right there keeping a look out while all the other dogs are sleeping. I am ready to be your personal “lapador”!

Hello to my possible forever family, my name is Ghery but my foster family calls me Rocket. I like to race around the backyard and the pool, and my foster family loved Guardians of the Galaxy (thank goodness they did not go with Groot!)

I am a young guy that is loving life. I have learned to love my crate, my foster labs brothers, my foster cat, food (who knew fruits and veggies could taste so good), and swimming. I also love to get some tummy rubs and petting in as much as possible. I crate when my foster family leaves but I sleep on a pillow in their room at night. I am house trained and I know sit, when I can hold still long enough anyway. My foster mom calls me Mr. Wiggles! I am also very good walking on a leash.

I am a black lab but I have chocolate in my coat too. I guess that makes me a blackolate lab? I do know that I am adorable because my foster family told me so. I will be available soon so you know what to do if I sound like the Lab you have been waiting for!

Oh and here is a link to a little video of my swimming ability. I am the 2^nd dog to jump in, with the red collar on. Hope you like it.

You look up the definition in the dictionary of "chill" & my picture's right next to it. I love to be outside. I also like playing with my toys, however, a squirrel may come by and grab my attention at any moment. I will also arrange all of the things on the top of your furniture and kitchen counter. I'll eat the food but just simply rearrange all of the other stuff! I'm not a chewer, just a mover and a shaker!  If you are looking for the most calm, cool, collected 'cat' on the block - I'm your guy. My foster mom calls me a gentle giant.

Hi, I am Marguerite.  I know I look small, but I am still Lab where it counts, in my heart!  I love to hang with my person - she lets me get on the couch and we cuddle all the time.  When she is working, I will lay next to her quietly or I will go and lay on the bed.  She also lets me on the bed at night - and we both sleep well!  I have been discovering a whole new world since I came to DFW Lab Rescue.  I love to ride in the car and like to stand and watch out the front  window.  I am learning to like hanging out in the yard too.  It has taken some time for me to enjoy being in the yard away from my person, but she is always there watching me.

I am still working on meeting new people - men make me a little nervous but we are working on it!  I am starting to take trips out of the house and explore the world - there is so much to see and smell!  When I go out in the world, I prefer a harness to just a collar leash - just so you know!

I like to hide treats.  My person gives me Milkbone treats and I will hide them under the couch and in other rooms that we spend time in.  I will go and check on them and sometimes move them - just in case I need it later.

My person does not need to crate me as I am trustworthy - no chewing on anything that is not my toys.  I am housetrained for the most part - I have had a few accidents. Once,  it was  storming as I do not like going out in the rain.  (Marguerite's person here - she has a very subtle ask to go out signal.  But over the 4+ weeks, she has had a total of 4 accidents and 3 of those were in the first few days - pretty good for a dog that was not initially housetrained and has gone through an incredible amount of change in a short period of time).

My person keeps talking about this training thing - but I don't get it.  I know how to sit - I just don't want to sit when she wants me to.  But I get some liver treats out of the deal - so it is ok.  She keeps saying we have a lot of work to do.  I don't understand why she does not have some liver treats and relax!

I just want to find a home that will love me and let me love them back.  Can you be that home?

Hi! My name is Ellington. I'm a happy, energetic and sometimes goofy guy. My foster mom says I'm one of the largest labs you're likely to meet. I'm crate trained and house broken. I love to play with humans, other dogs and toys. I have been known to counter surf if there's something yummy, but I've been working on leaving the counter alone. I don't have much experience walking on a leash and I tend to pull. I really love walks and am practicing to get better. 

I had a badly broken leg when I was rescued. I had surgery and the doctors installed a plate. My bone has healed and is doing well. The plate doesn't have to be removed unless a problem comes up in the future. At the moment I'm only allowed to take walks on a leash. So no  running free in large areas such a dog park.  The vet says maybe later, in the future,  as he evaluates me, but not for now.

I can't wait to meet my furever family!

Hi, Chester here! I'm about eight years old – quiet, cuddly, and very relaxed. I'm crate and house trained and know what I'm allowed to chew on... mostly. I would love to be a “lap dog”, but I know that I'm a bit too big. I know “sit” and “kennel” really well; I might know what you mean when you say “come”, “down”, or “stay”, but haven't decided if it's that important yet. It would be good if I could gain some weight, but at present I'm sort of a picky eater (maybe it's because of the medication I'm on for another week or so). I have found some food I like, my foster will let you know about that. I get along well with other dogs, and love every person I meet. I haven't been around children or cats, so don't know what I would do with them.  I can't wait to find my forever home!

Hi! My name is Queso. My mom keeps telling people that I am the most lovable spirited dog she's ever known. I welcome everyone I meet with lots of love and kisses. I am 6 years old and I've had a pretty good life. My mom thinks I was involved in some type of accident with some livestock at my old house because I had to have one of my back legs amputated. Have no fears though, I don't let it stop me. I absolutely love going for walks. You'll be amazed how my minor handicap doesn't get in my way. My favorite thing to do is follow my foster mom around and accompany her in whatever she is doing. I am a superb supervisor working outside in the yard. I like to find shade and just enjoy the day with you. I hope to find a loving family that can look past my minor imperfection and love and appreciate the sweet and lovable guy that I am. I promise if you meet me you will fall in love!!

Hi, my name is Alphonso, but most people call me AL. I am about a year and a half old, but sort of an old soul. I love to follow my foster mom around everywhere and basically I am her shadow. I know how to sit, shake with both paws, and lay down. I am crate trained, house broken and love to sleep in my crate at night. My foster mom also gave me my very own doggie door that I love to use when I need to take care of business.

Hi everyone!  My name is LoveBug…..no no no, I mean Mutt!  I am an 8-month old silver Lab that is sweet, cuddly, and lovable.  I am people-friendly, dog-friendly, and housebroken (I know to go to the back door).    

At 75 lbs, I am a big puppy.  I am best suited for an active family that has the time to train me and give me plenty of daily exercise.   As long as my energy has an outlet, I settle down nicely in the house.   My foster parents are teaching me manners with a clicker, they say I am a joy to train because I am very food-motivated. 

My foster parents are working on crate-training me.  I go into a crate willingly as long as there are treats in it.   I stay in a crate when my foster parents are at work, but if they were at home, I really prefer to be next to them.

Here is a little video that will tell you more about me…..

Ruthie is a very sweet and well-behaved young lab, especially for her age. She get along fine with dogs, cats, and all people.   She is gentle and submissive but not at all fearful.  She is house and crate trained, and is very trainable. Ruthie will do well in just about any situation including a household with other dogs and small children.  She is OK on the leash and rides very well.  Ruthie is fed separately as she needs her space at mealtime.   She has been getting better, and this could just be a phase. She likes to run around and play in the yard with the other dogs. She also enjoys sleeping on the floor and relaxing with you as well.  Ruthie will make a great addition to a family.

Hi everyone.  Guess what, I’m finally ready to be adopted and I’m so excited to find my forever family.  I’m doing better with my house training now that my UTI has cleared up, I even run to the door when you say it’s time to go outside.  I’m good at giving signals when I need to go but you better hurry because I don’t wait long. My Foster Mom takes me out every hour or so and that really helps me not to have accidents.  I’m learning how to walk on the leash and my Foster Mom says I’m doing great, I’m such a big help since I love to help carry the leash in my mouth.  My new favorite thing is to go on trips to PetsMart or Home Depot.  I still need to ride in the cart since I haven’t had all my puppy shots.  I don’t mind though, I love to put my paws on the top of the cart to direct my Foster Mom and tell her where to go so I can give lots of puppy kisses to everyone that comes near me. I love playing ball, tug of war and playing with my 6 year old Foster Brother.  There is a cat in the house but he pretty much ignores me and just sits on top of the couch and won’t play with me so I pretty much ignore him too. I’m your typical puppy, I have lots of energy, still like to mouth/bite, jump, play and run. I love people and other dogs. We are still working on the jumping up when people come over, but I just get so excited when I meet new people.   I do great in my crate at night and can sleep all night without accidents.  During the day though I still need to go out every few hours to go potty and probably wouldn’t do great if you were gone all day and I had to be left alone that long.  I can’t wait to meet you, I’m saving lots of puppy kisses, and a few puppy bites just for that perfect person/family.

Not sure where this “Peaches” name came from but I've gotten used to it because I love my new life. I was an outside dog before this. Had some puppies for my prior people too. They didn't teach me a thing though. I'm picking it all up in my foster home. Like this sit thing? Why must I? But occasionally I'll do it to humor them and of course for the treat. When I got here I didn't know I wasn't supposed to tee tee in the house either, geez! But we have a dog door so now I go outside. When my foster people go away I hang out in the crate with the others. Btw I love them, we play a lot. Sometimes the people make us settle down, augh the heartworm treatment was a drag, for all of us!

We all love to chase squirrels and each other. We bark and growl at each other as we chase each other in the yard and we have so much fun. But those humans make us settle down anyways. See there were 6 of us once and one has been adopted.   The rest of us are waiting for our lucky day now. I hear mine is coming soon!

Hey y’all, Felix here, but really I respond to Scout! I am a 7 year old male who loves the company of other dogs and people.  Although I am a little timid at first I warm up pretty quick once I get to know you!  My foster family doesn’t have kids, so they took me to meet the neighbor’s kids, a couple of boys around 5 yrs old.  I don’t mind kids at all, but again am a little timid at first around them.  I don’t need to be the center of attention, but don’t much like being alone either.  Having a brother or sister to pal around with and being free to roam the house is important for me at my forever home.  It is also important that I have a clear  family leader so that I know who the boss is, that can be confusing for me sometimes.   I have been a real good boy with my 4 foster siblings and have enjoyed playing with them inside and out, but other times I like to go lay on my bed and just enjoy a nice afternoon nap!  I know how to sit, stay and shake and I learned the dog door in a matter of minutes.  Yeah, I’m pretty smart! I also just recently discovered peanut butter and I am in love!  Exercise wise, I like to run around for a little bit and chase the ball some but mostly when I am outside, you can find me in the shade relaxing with a tennis ball and just taking in my surroundings. I went for a walk with my foster mom the other day and she said I was the best leash walker she has ever walked!  As far as my ‘bad’ habits, I am a bit of a sloppy drinker and have been known to sneak into bed with my foster mom when my foster dad is out of town but that is the extent of my ‘wild’ side! I look forward to meeting my forever family very soon!

Here is Watson! Such a beautiful and distinguished gentleman! He has had a tough start to his life as he was removed by authorities from a puppy mill…not as a cute little puppy but as one of many providing the puppies. He was a mess… skinny, his nose all cut up from likely trying to escape his kennel and a nervous wreck. When he originally joined me in foster care he paced constantly when kenneled. Needless to say it was not long before he was trusted out of the kennel. He has the dog door down and loves the freedom of lounging outside in the sun when he so chooses. This freedom has cured any anxiety he had when first rescued. Watson LOVES tennis balls and will fetch forever. While he was away from the rescue he learned to swim and enjoys a few laps in the pool to cool off. This guy is also a velcro dog and will go wherever his people go. He will sleep quietly in the dog bed while you work and is a prince on the leash. He is not a barker but loves to run outside when the others sound the mailman alarm. So why is he back you ask?? WELL… it seems that Watson has turned into a bit of a curmudgeon. He doesn’t smile like most dogs unless you get out a tennis ball or a leash. He had decided that he doesn’t like to share his people but now that he is one of 5 he has learned to deal with it again. Watson has really not started playing with the other dogs as yet but does hang out with them when his people leave the house. All in all this guy is a great dog. His ideal home is a more quiet one. He would love a single dog adult home where he could have his people all to himself. The next best thing would be a home with one other dog that is similar in age that he could chill in the yard with while he awaited the return of his people. These people need to like taking walks. Did I mention that Watson loves to go for walks????

 Kiwi here - I am still a very shy girl still after spending alot of time with my foster. I am friendly but startle easily still if there is a loud noise or too much commotion. I’m hoping over time I will gain even more confidence and be able to relax and chill more. I would like to learn to play more also, it looks like fun. I am sweet though and love to just hang out with you. I don’t think I am a good fit for an active family at this time. I get along with other dogs since I am so submissive. I am definitely hoping for a calm lifestyle with alot of love and consistency! Maybe go to the dog park and fun stuff. Have your people call my people if I sound like a match!

Lupita is a 2 year old yellow female who was turned in by her owner after giving birth to a litter of puppies.  She was just spayed and has been on antibiotics, and she is healthy now and is a happy girl.  We've housebroken her and are working on basic commands, and she is very smart!  She's an eager young Lab who is full of energy and loves to play ball and snuggle.  She will definitely sit with you on the couch if you want a lap dog.

She is just over 70lbs right now but is fairly small overall and has a very sweet disposition.  Anyone looking for a young female that is past the puppy stage would be happy with Lupita.

Hello, my name is Drew, I am one gorgeous male black lab that is 1-2 years of age.  Yes same old story I got lost and could not find my way back home, I am another lucky dog that DFW Lab people found because they got me into a vet and got me check out with a clean bill of health. Then I was picked up by these good fosters that are going to find me my forever home.  I have a lot going for me, first I get along with everyone, the big dogs and little dogs too, I love to play chase with both.  Little kids I love to play chase with them as well, and I can play rough, but these grandkids are used to big dogs, and I will stop on command. Make no mistake, I have lots of energy!  I am a dream dog on the leash, anyone can walk with me, and I also love to ride in the car.  Now the crate thing they thought I would sleep in was a bad idea, I can get out of any of them so don’t even try.  I will find my own place to sleep at night, foot of your bed works well for me.  They also have trusted me to stay in the house when they are gone and I have earned that trust by just playing with my own toys for as long as it takes for them to return.  I will make you a wonderful lab, so mark your calendar, one more week and I will become available.

I'm a one and a half to two-year-old black male lab. I'm friendly and love to play.  I'm your typical lab that needs consistency and attention or I might get into trouble. I know a few commands but will need more training.  I'm crate trained so when you leave you do not have to worry about me getting into stuff.  At night,  I sleep on my dog bed next to my fosters bed but if you let me, I probably would not mind sleeping in bed with you.  I'm not food aggressive but if someone leaves their dog bowl full of food I will eat it.  I can get a little nervous around noises so I tend to bark at them.  I'm looking for a family that will be patient, love me, and make me part of their family.

Hello, I know you guys have been waiting for me so an update in in order.

I am still an amazing girl ready to meet you and looking for my forever home. I am almost ready and my heart worm treatment is complete.

I have continued to thrive in my foster home…completely potty-trained (despite being probably an outside girl for most of my life), have learned the dog door and love spending time in my completely sate outdoor space with a 12 foot fence, friendly to visitors and dogs, resident dog here Bentley has shown me the ropes…love him and spend my days close to him or watching what he does... like fetching the ball…looks like fun.

I am great on leash on do not pull…love to sniff the environment. I will go in my crate but have been breaking out so my foster mom has allowed me to be out of the crate with free roam and…lo and behold, I am the perfect house guest. I can have free roam of her house without concern.

Shannon needs an active family who can provide exercise and playtime and interaction…shy at first but warms up easily, she would ideally be with anyone who wants to spend time with this amazing girl. She is loving and giving and wants return affection for you to build trust with her.

So I think you should meet me if you are looking for a perfect young girl who can be trusted in the house while you are away….what are you waiting for?

Lumpkins here (a.k.a. Lumpy) and I’m ready for adoption. Yes, that really is my name, so stop your lookin' and start your cookin'.  I'm your man and I'm ready for a place at your table.  Heck, I'll even eat dog food if that's what you want.  That's just the kind of guy I am.  I love my foster parents and am very grateful to them, but it's time to move on.  I'm as handsome a young lab as you'll ever meet with plenty of upside.  I'm smart and have great people skills-- man can I work a room.  I have a lot of great qualities.  Am I perfect?  Of course not but I'm willing and eager for you to teach me.  I learn fast, but enough of my talk.  Let's hear from my chief character witness, Foster Mom.

Lumpy is right about one thing, he’s smart. When you talk to him, he fixes  his gaze on you, shortens his breath, and moves his eyebrows up and down; left, right, left, right.  he's processing, the information.  Hardly a day goes by when he doesn't do something memorable.  For example:

When he heard the big bad garbage truck, he ran to the back door, pushed it open, and nudged it shut with his snout.  Ah, safe from the iron beast!

One day when taking a shower I left the shower door ajar.  He pushed it open and stepped right in to take a shower with me, letting the water splash him in the face.  Actually, this is a major plus since most dogs abhor a bath.

Lumpy is very well behaved for an 8.5 month old. He does not chew, or he hasn't yet.  That fact alone sets him apart among 8.5 month old labs.  He has lots of energy but settles down nicely.  Lumpy is crate-trained and housebroken.  He's great with kids, other dogs and man does he like to ride.

Lumpy loves his walks.  If you attach his leash and are not fast enough out the door, he will pick up the other end of the leash as if he intends to walk himself!  He loves to play ball and will bring it back to you.  Unfortunately he pulls like a pack mule on the leash, but a little work and maturity will take care of that issue.  It's really not that bad; just typical for a dog his age.

Lumpy can be left in his kennel for a reasonable amount of time and can soon be trusted to have the run of the house when everyone is gone.  However, he will do best in a home where people are around most of the time, especially until he matures a bit more.  A home with kids, other dogs, and room to burn off energy would be great.  Other Lumpy facts:

 Will chase squirrels until time stands still

 Has not come to accept the fact that chasing birds is an enterprise doomed

from the start.

 Other than the greeting, Lumpy does not jump on people – a rarity for a

lab his age.

 He is not mouthy – another rarity for a lab his age.

 He has puppy energy but not perpetually so. He calms down nicely.

 Gentle with children. For example, if he and a kid are both chasing a ball,

Lumpy will slow up and let the kid get it.

 Likes to play tug-o- war and will be as gentle or feisty  as you want in

doing it.

 Lumpy appears not to like cats although it may be a bluff.

 Loves car rides, prefers to ride shotgun and will stay put in a sitting

position.

Hi!  My name is Dotty and am a beautiful 2 year old female Lab.  I am a “typical” young Lab who has lots of energy and loves to play with toys and of course with tennis balls in the backyard!  I am very sweet and love to love on my foster family.

Okay, I admit, I can be a “chewer” but if you catch me in the act, I will give my prize right back to you and I won’t make you chase me for it!  I am crate trained, though, so when you leave the house you won’t have to worry about me roaming around unsupervised!  At night, I sleep on the dog bed in my foster’s bedroom but I really like when I am invited to sleep on the bed!  

My foster says that I am pretty good on a leash but tend to get excited when I see a squirrel and may pull a little.  Also, when my foster family gets home I get very excited and jump on them but they are working with me and I keep getting better and better.  I know how to “sit” but don’t know any other commands but my foster family says I am very smart and I just know I can master other commands with proper training from my new family.  I am almost 100% potty-trained. I also like to “talk” to them sometimes when I want their attention but I am definitely not a “chatty Cathy.” I will also bark when I hear a noise outside or see a dog through the window but I don’t bark just to bark! Finally, because I tend to get excited at times, my foster family thinks I’d be a better fit with an adult only family or one with older children.  My foster family has 2 dogs of their own and while I like them, I prefer to be the queen of the castle.  

My perfect family would be a single dog adult home or one with older children.  I would also like an active family who is willing to spend time playing and walking me.  Truth be told, I could also use a little training and would love to work with my new family to become their perfect child.  

Will you please open your heart and your home to me?  I’m ready to find my fur-ever family and hope that it is you!

They call me LaLa…. not really sure why, but I prefer Amelia Earhart. I’m one of Dayla’s 8 puppies.

I am a brave girl who loves to explore and am not afraid of anything.

I have tackled climbing stairs, they might just be 3, but that’s a lot for my size.

A doggy door, no problem!

I have surprised my foster mom by going to the door when I need to potty, or going into my pen where the training pads are. Now how is that for being a fast learner!

I have been using training pads in my little pen, where I have shared a crate with one of my brothers.

We always go into our crate to sleep. I have learned that it is a safe place. During a recent storm, foster mom had to keep checking on us because we were so quiet.

I am a spunky little girl who loves to play and am ready to start my next adventure with my new forever home!

Hi Everyone, Rue here.   I’m sure you already have heard this but I’m one of Dayla’s puppies.  I know you are seeing all my siblings getting adopted but just want to remind you I’m ready too!  I may not look like a lab but my Foster Mom tells me I’m the most special.  She said I have a lab personality and that my heart is so full of love that I display it on my side.  Now who else can say that!  I’m really starting to catch on to this potty training and I’m having less and less accidents. I’m still only 9 weeks old so I  still have to go out pretty often, at least every 2 hrs for now.   I sleep all night in my crate, and don’t complain when you crate me if you have to leave the house.  I love to play, especially tug of war but I  can settle down and give you lots of puppy kisses. I hope you can look past the traditional lab look and realize I’m part lab and would make a great pet in a loving household….and remember you get to brag about my big heart!!

Hello, my name is Arnie and I have a little confession to make, I am a toy hoarder! I love to have as many toys around me as possible. I am not adverse to also adding an occasional slipper, shoe, or remote. I just like to have them with me on my pillow. I am really just trying to help foster mom keep the house clean. This way she only has to look in one spot to find anything she might be missing.

I bet you can’t wait to hear more about me. I am a totally adorable one year old guy. I am not nearly as big as my foster lab brothers (only 55 pounds.) I have a foster cat that scares me at times but I am getting really brave, and I don’t run from it when it looks at me with those spooky eyes! I am learning to be crate trained and I am potty trained. I also learned “sit” in less than a day (treats make me happy!)

I will be ready to find my forever home soon so if you are interested, let the good people at adoptions know and we may get to meet soon!

I love to play, run and give snuggles. I especialy love to have a good ole belly rub! My foster family has a Lab and I love playing with her all day. We are working on potty training and sit... I’m getting pretty good if I say so myself!

Burton

Hi, Burt here! If you are looking for a sweet, well behaved, good looking boy, I’m your guy.  I am on the small side, but don’t let that fool you. I’m all lab. I love long walks, belly rubs, and playing with toys.  I really like my foster brother and would love to play with him, but he’s on a mandatory rest period. Since we can’t play, I’ve found a way to keep myself entertained. We have a game at my foster’s house. My foster mom puts all the toys in a basket and then I drag them out one-by-one leaving them all over the living room. She picks them up every night and every morning we start the game again.  I love laying on my dog bed chewing squeaky toys or tossing the ball around the living room. I would love to find a fur-ever home where someone will play with me and love on me.

From Burton’s foster mom: Burt is an amazing dog. He gets along great with his foster brother. Burt didn’t even react when our other foster was a little grumpy with him during introductions.  Burt will stand by the back door to let you know when he has to go out. He knows sit and stay, walks well on a leash, and takes treats gently.  Burt will go in his crate for a treat. Once the door is shut, he does let you know that he would rather be out, but he settles quickly.  Burt is very smart and sweet.  He loves hugs and kisses. He will make a great addition to someone’s family.

Carey is quite the darlin'.  She loves to cuddle and her coat is SO SOFT it feels like a teddy bear.  

She has been the only child with her foster momma so she is used to being spoiled with attention. No worries, though - she gets along well with other dogs (large and small) and children.  

She expresses her love by licking you constantly so get ready for tons of puppy kisses. 

Warning!  She is a typical Labrador puppy - full of energy!  However, she is very well-behaved for her age.  In fact, she has free roam while her foster momma is away and she has not left any disasters, yet.  

A few more things... She is great on a leash.  She loves car rides. She gets to go to the gym with mom pretty frequently and EVERYONE LOVES her!!!

She will need to continue training on basic obedience. She doesn't always have the best manners. For example, she gets so excited from the attention she gets from people that she likes to jump on them to show her excitement.

Wow, I’m really nervous. To be honest, I’ve never done one of these online profile thingies, but I’m 100% ready to find my forever home and I’ll try anything.  So, a little bit about me.  My official name with DFW Lab Rescue is Diamond, but I do not answer to that.  My foster family threw names at me till my ears perked up, which is why I’m now called Gracie.  I’m a smart girl.  I know Sit, Down, Stay, and *Heel.  In fact, I love to go for walks!!  I also enjoy a good game of fetch.  I will run after that ball as often as my foster throws it.  The best part is when my foster and I play tug of war with the ball before she throws it again.  Between you and me, she runs out of steam before I do, but she tries really hard and I appreciate that so much.  When we aren’t playing, I’m content to curl up on the floor at my foster dad’s feet and nap.  I love to nap.  It’s my favorite hobby, except for eating.  Okay, napping is my second favorite hobby and eating is my first favorite.  I was a little bit full-figured when I was surrendered to the shelter.  My vet said I showed signs of neglect, too.  Actually, I was pretty sick for the first few weeks and I was so sad.  But my foster family has been making up for it – I’ve lost some weight and, though I have those darn last five pounds to go, I am looking and feeling so much better.  Let me tell you, weight loss would be so much easier if food wasn’t so awesome!  I’m so grateful for every bit of attention I get from my foster family and I give back the love as good as I get.  But I want a family I can call my own.  I want a family who knows that even though I have a little bit of grey in my muzzle and can’t go for long runs anymore, I still have a puppy heart.  Is this you?  If it is, please fill out that application and be sure to mention me by my official DFW Lab Rescue name (Diamond!).  I can’t wait to meet you!! 

*Okay, I’m not that great at Heel because I’m so excited to go for walks but my foster family is working with me on that. 

NOTES FROM FOSTER: Gracie (Diamond) is a classic Velcro Labrador.  She wants to be wherever the people are.  When we are home, she has the full run of the house, however, we do crate Gracie when we leave the house.  One of us is home most of the day, so the times we are gone are few, but she does have mild separation anxiety that is managed by crating her.  Gracie has been fine with our small dog but we have no knowledge of cats.  She has tried to play with senior dog and was ignored.  We suspect she might enjoy playing with a brother or sister - the human OR dog variety!  She is incredibly well-behaved – no counter-surfing, she doesn’t climb on the furniture (though we have a feeling, if invited, she’d be happy to snuggle there).  She is just a very sweet, gentle dog and she will make some lucky family very happy.

Lucy Kate (AKA Kate) is a sweet loving little girl who loves to be loved. She loves to cuddle and is eager to please and learn.  She gets along well with other dogs and quickly learned her place with my cats. (She's good with them.)  She  walks well on a leash and knows sit and is working on stay.  She crates well when left alone for extended periods of time, and can be trusted to sleeps on a pillow near the bed at night.  She loves to play with other dogs, but is still learning to "play" with people and toys.  She's young and still gets excited and will jump up on people and is still learning to stay off the counters.  We are actively working on both.  She's an energetic girl who will do best with an active family.  She is great with kids, but might do best with older (over 8) kids until she learns not to jump.

My name is Raelynn and I am a ten week old, green-eyed beauty with chocolate coloured tresses.  My foster mom is writing this as I am lying half-asleep on top of her. I love to snuggle and could happily sleep for hours as long as I am in someone's arms. I'm being fostered along with my brother, Frank, though I'm the far superior one in the brains & beauty department.

Poppie is a very pretty, affectionate girl and a typical young Labrador Retriever. She enjoys going for walks ,  playtime, and helping you with projects in the backyard. After some activity, she’s happy to come back inside and just “chill”.

Poppie is housebroken and crates very well. She is relatively trustworthy when left out of her crate for small amounts of unsupervised time. She already knows “sit” and would love for her new family to teach her even more commands.

Poppie does very well on leash and also rides very well in the car. She has enjoyed several outings to Home Depot, making friends with whomever wants to stop and say “hi.”

Poppie is OK with other dogs, though she and my boy haven’t really interacted much. They are each much more focused on me. Given that, she’d be OK either with another dog or in a home that only plans to have one dog. She really just wants to be where her people are and seek their attention. She has not been around cats.

Poppie doesn’t bark very much, but she does get very excited when she sees people/dogs walking in front of our house and also when I’m playing ball with my dog. She hasn’t actually retrieved the ball herself but runs after my dog trying to figure out what he’s doing. Because she can sometimes get a little excited (not knowing how big/strong she is), she’d do best in a home without small children. Her forever home would ideally help her learn a few more manners.

Poppie was very nervous her first few days here, having been in a shelter and then boarding. Lots of changes in a small amount of time! She has acclimated nicely, and I would expect the same in her new home. The more time you have for her, the faster she will know she is home!!

Jelly Bean is a 4 month old beautiful black female lab weighing in at 25 pounds.  She is as sweet as she can be and loves to snuggle up in your lap.  She is all puppy and has had no had training upon coming into my house three days ago, but she is very smart and is learning the house rules very fast.  She loves to play with the resident dogs that live here, even though they’re not as much in love with her with her sharp teeth.  Good news is she is very good in her crate, and she goes in at 10:30, and not even a peep till I open the door at 7:00 am, for a puppy that is wonderful.  She is good on a leash, rides good in the car, settles down in the evenings and so far only chews up what we hand her.  House training coming along better each day, having two mentors showing her the way and taking her outside often, goes a long way too.  I would let her say a few words but she has yet to grasp the English language, however she knows her name and will come running when called.  Puppies are busy, they need a lot of exercise and TLC, you got the time this girl has the makings of a wonderful sweet lab.

Hi!! My name is Rowen! I am a typical 10 month old puppy. My favorite things include going for long walks, running around the backyard, and chewing on Kong toys. I have a four legged foster sister and we play a LOT. Although I like my foster sister, I prefer to follow the humans around more. I will follow my mom everywhere and I tend to curl up and lay next to her feet. When out for walks I always see kids playing at the park and mom thinks that I would do very well with some younger kids to play with as well as other dogs. I have a bit of anxiety when I am left alone but my mom always gives me a good treat to chew on so the time away doesn’t seem too long. If you are looking for a constant companion with lots of energy to get you moving, I am your dog! I look forward to meeting you soon.

Kash (also known as Bob) is a sweet, pretty boy with all the traits of a great family Labrador.  He is my constant companion and loves to hang out with people all day (just in case you have a treat, are willing to pet or want to play).  He is housetrained and has learned basic commands (sit, off, wait) and walk wells on a leash.  He likes chasing tennis balls, gets along well with other dogs but I am not sure if he likes to swim yet but do know he likes playing in the sprinklers.  Easy to train, as he is very food and toy motivated and listens well.  Likes to cuddle, give a few kisses and get belly rubs.

His perfect family would be an active family willing to spend time playing and exercising with him.  He was in rough shape before getting his “new leash on life.”  About 8 weeks ago, he underwent surgery to repair injuries from a car accident.  He is doing great and ready for adoption.  

He still has some puppy left in him, is very athletic and likes to explore.  I think he will be a great family pet.

I’m here with two of my siblings and I love to tumble and run with them.  She said I’m the leader when it comes to finding trouble…but I call it exploring.   Can’t wait to find my forever family, I’m good at giving puppy kisses, so be warned.  Just need to get my first round of puppy shots and I’ll be good to go so keep checking back.

Hi, Stone here, just laying around taking these new things in!  I’m one of Dayla’s 8 puppies.

I am a pretty laid back boy that has a sensitive side. Can be slow to wake up from naps and when scolded will sit and give you my sad puppy dog eyes. Don’t carry on much, like when foster mom took me away from my siblings or when I am put someplace I don’t want to be. I’ll just wait quietly. I was even quiet during a recent rainstorm. I don’t venture off far from where everyone else is. I like to stay close to an area I know. I sleep in a crate during the night or when it is naptime, so I am familiar with being in a crate. I am learning to use training pads when I potty in the house. I can’t wait to meet my new family that I will love forever.

Hey everyone, its Oreo.  I’m one of Dayla’s 8 puppies. My Foster Mom calls me Oreo because she says I have the cutest white markings on my paws and reminds her of an Oreo cookie.  I’m one of Dayla’s 8 puppies and by far the cutest if I do say so myself.   I’m staying with two of my siblings and my Foster Mom says I’m the most independent. She said I’m her little diva and know how to give attitude. I love playing with my siblings but I’m also happy to go explore on my own and play with my own toys.  I’m your typical young puppy, love to play, chew and run.  Still working on the potty training but my Foster Mom says she always knows when I have to go outside, she says I give good signs, whatever that means.   Just need to get my first round of puppy shots and then I’ll be ready to find my forever home.  I’m pretty good at giving those puppy kisses and cuddling as well, don’t let my Sister, Britt fool you and say she’s the best.  Keep checking back, I’m going to be available soon.

Hello my name is Riley.  I’m one of Dayla’s 8 puppies. I'm the prettiest brindle Lab you've ever seen.  My mom says I'm striking  and will be gorgeous when I grow up.  I love to snuggle but also love to play with my sisters and foster family.  I play hard for about 30 minutes and then take a two hour nap so you have time to get things done as well.  I sleep all night in my crate which my foster mom is very impressed with.  I love to play with humans on the floor and chase my foster's pups around the coffee table.  I'm a typical, lovable puppy and can't wait to find my forever home.

Well hello there! I see you have been checking me out. Of course, with my adorable picture, who wouldn’t want to know more about me. My name is Randall but my foster parents call me Milo and that is what I answer to. I am around 3 years old and I now weigh a perfect 55 pounds. I am a smaller guy but good things come in small packages, right?

I have two foster lab brothers. I love them. I really would like a forever home with a doggie sibling. I am a little shy but with another dog around, I am brave and happy and friendly. I also have a foster cat. He does not bother me at all. I am crate trained, potty trained, and I know sit and shake. My foster Mom says I will do anything for a treat. I am just a special guy and thanks to DFW Lab Rescue, I have food in my tummy and a pillow (or sofa or bed) to sleep on. I love to give kisses and I want to be by you as much as possible. I am a pretty calm guy but I do love to play with some stuffed toys and chew a nylabone. I sleep on a pillow in my foster parents room. I would sleep on the bed but that is not allowed at night.

Well that is a little bit about me. Really, I am just a sweet guy that had some tough breaks but I am past all of that and just want to find someone that loves me as much as I will love them

Hi! I'm Butch! Or as my foster mom likes to call me, the Zen Master.  I am pretty much the most chilled out Labrador retriever you'll ever meet. I am very laid-back. And while I do enjoy playing with my toys and playing with my dog foster brothers and sisters a little bit, I am definitely  a low-key lab. My favorite thing is cuddles. I would like it if you would give me scratches behind my ears all day long. I am pretty great in the house. I am potty trained and I do OK in my crate. My foster mom and dad are not sure how I do on a leash quite yet although they do know I'm not a fan of small children who play rough with me. I am way too interested in cats and I definitely like to bark and chase after all of the critters that come through my foster parents yard like squirrels and bunnies and opossums.  As you can see from my pictures, I am quite handsome. My foster dad says I look just like the dog on the milkbone treats box. But don't worry, it hasn't gone to my head. I am still a laid-back, loving, labrador that is looking for his furever home.

I love long walks and listening attentively to every word you speak.  I enjoy fine dining but am embarking on an exercise and diet routine as we speak to make my long life healthier…which should be a goal of every senior lady in my humble opinion.

I will gaze lovingly into your eyes, wait for you to return at any time of the day or night without complaint, enjoy any and all physical contact with you and others, welcome your friends and children into our home, and be more than happy to watch any program you have on the television. Honestly, I am a little bit of a “couch potato” and homebody.

I am a proven loving companion with eight years with the same family.  Unfortunately for me, they have to find a new home for me due to their son’s allergies…but I understand that.  I have had a wonderful life here with family including another large dog (not as beautiful as I am…just saying) and children who adored me and “treated me” quite a bit.

Trusted fully in the house, potty-trained but still with lots of energy if you would like to walk, healthy with perfect health care, I am looking forward to having a loving home with you if you would like to meet me.

My name is Joni… a beautiful 60 pound female yellow Lab two years old still looking for that right forever home, and I have so much going for me!  I ride in the car like a perfect lady, and I’m 100% house trained. I will let you know when I need to go outside! I am crate trained and will stay in my crate without a peep until you let me out.  Or if you wish, just put my bed next to yours and I will stay put till I see your feet hit the floor. I know the difference between what is mine and I never bother anything that is not.  I love to play with the little kids that come over to see me. I do have to be more careful about getting too rough; sometimes I forget how strong I am.  I love my two foster dogs...I like to chase the little guy around the back yard.  My foster says I am good but nobody’s perfect! I have had some training, but I get excited and can be a little mouthy. I have to be told sometimes not to grab you by the hand… one thing I often do but I’m getting better I think.  I also have some leash training I am still working on. I still pull too hard and when I see another dog on the trail I want to meet them. A good hard tug on the leash reminds me to keep focused on my manners. I need to be introduced slowly to big dogs and I am first intimidated if approached by more than one.  Please protect me and keep me out of dog parks and doggie day care.  I need an experienced Lab owner that can continue the training I have been given. I am only going to get better!

Who is ready for some serious puppy cuteness?  I'm Izzie -- a fun-loving, smart, sweet, energetic young girl looking for an active family with people who want to play, play, play, teach me some more commands like stay, down, come and fetch, and go on lots of walks.  I already know sit and shake and will do those easily.  I'd prefer lots of  playmates as I love being part of a pack but one other doggie friend will do just as well.  I mastered a doggie door at my first foster's house, but she was dealing with two other dogs who needed lots of rest going through heart worm treatment, so I went to a new foster's home.  My new foster doesn't have a doggie door, but I have taught her that when I go to the  back door, I am needing a potty break.  If she isn't paying attention, I will bark to let her know I need to go out.  My ideal home would be one where I am not alone for more than 4 hours at a time as I am still a young pup and like to go out frequently to potty or run around and play with my foster siblings.  I am not crazy about the crate when you are home with me, so I will let you hear about it but I will go in for a treat when you need to leave.  I am living with some big older dogs right now who like to lay around and sleep a lot, so they have taught me the benefits of being able to take it easy when it is down time around here.  I sleep on a dog bed on the side of my foster's bed and am pretty good there.  I sleep through the night most nights and love to sleep up on the human bed when I am allowed.  I love the pillows and couches so it would be pretty hard to convince me that the floor is a better place, but I have been known to stretch out on the tile next to my foster brother and nap there when he is.  We are working on not jumping up when I first see my foster family and I would really benefit from some training as  I am very trainable, super sweet affectionate girl who will fit right in with a family that wants to make me a serious family member.

Hi. I'm Nola. My foster mom and all our friends call me Lola. I'm a 1.3 year old, yellow female.
I'm a little timid when I first meet you (dog or human), but I warm up real fast! I just need a minute to check you out. And then I'd like to snuggle with you, play fetch with you, go for a walk with you.... I'm great on a leash (I pull a little when we first start or if I see a bunny - but again, I just need a minute to check things out!)
I'm about 99% house trained, 100% crate trained and 95% trustable when home alone with free run of the house  (I pulled the mail off the counter one time.... just one time! And it was junk mail!)
My foster mom says I'm a real sweetheart! And who am I to argue?!

Hi I'm Hilda aka puddin puddin, wiggle bum or sassy girl. I've had a pretty tough start to my young life but believe it or not the day I went to the shelter was the luckiest day of my life. Don't misunderstand, I was terrified because I was in rough shape. No hair, full of bad stuff in my poo and heartworms to boot. This super nice lady at the shelter could see how precious I was and called my foster mom who came right away and saved me!! Since that day I have been on the mend. I'm free of all those nasty parasites and my fur is beautiful now. I do require regular baths though and I don't mind because it's my special time with my people and I love the massage that comes with it. I will also need to take medicine the rest of my life to treat my allergies. So that will cost my new family a little extra per year. But hey, I am not itching anymore and we all sleep better. 

I sleep in my crate when my foster family is away. We have a doggy door for when I want to go outside to potty. I really like to get up on the couch to snuggle while you watch TV but at night I sleep in my own bed on the floor in my foster parents room with everyone else.

I love other dogs and me and my foster siblings play all the time. Oh yeah, I talk a lot. Not barking per say, but will do a bit of that if necessary. Mostly I like to tell you it's time for breakfast and other important events. I love to play ball and carry around my favorite toys too. I am still working on that leash walking thing but I am young and have lots of time to learn all kinds of great stuff.

Bernie is a loving dog with a good, cheerful personality and a very expressive face. He is a very small lab mix but has the retrieving and water love of a lab 2 or 3 times his size!  He craves love and attention from both dogs and people, especially people.  Bernie is a sweet guy, with an abundance of kisses to give and should settle down into a happy, well adjusted dog in one year or so.  He is potty trained and is a good learner.  He is learning and improving on his jumping, the sit command, his leash skills and to accept his crate.  He isn’t interested in running off; he loves his people!  He needs an active family and would be GREAT with kids.  His small size and light weight makes him not one that is going to knock smaller kids over.  Bernie was likely left outside and received very little attention, so he entertains himself with chewing most everything. This is why a crate will be necessary for Bernie for a good while until he understands clearly what is acceptable to chew on and what is not – particularly when you are not with him.  He does have a little crate anxiety but settles down with other dogs. I have every confidence he will be a fantastic dog for many years to come once he has the confidence and adoration that he clearly did not receive his first months of puppyhood.

This will be the sweetest chocolate you will ever see. This regal pup will melt your heart.

Prior to being put in a foster home, he spent 2 weeks with a trainer. So, he has a leg up on most pups.

Dewey has been taught off, but can sleep on the couch. Since my dogs are allowed on the furniture, it was tough to not allow him.

He loves playing with other dogs and children, but due to some mouthing when being petted, he probably shouldn’t be around the very young. He walks good on a leash and takes treats very gently from your hand. He is learning to play Frisbee and can leap to attempt a catch.

He has a “knot” at the end of his tail which the vet said came from hitting the tip repeatedly on something. Nothing much can be done about that per the vet.

Dewey is a very happy and active young boy, but is a pretty calm puppy.

Hi, my name is Duke!!!  I'm an adult, neutered, chocolate lab. No one knows my exact age but my doc says I'm about 6-7 years old (I have the energy of more like 4 or 5!!). I weighed in at 104 lbs at my last vet visit. I'm a big boy! A few months ago I was lost & lonely, running down the road, dragging a chain. A really nice lady found me and, after weeks of looking, she couldn't find my home. Maybe that was my blessing because the next thing I knew I was walking into a vet’s office. I was just happy to meet all the new people but then the doc delivered the bad news. I was heartworm positive! So my nice lady made sure that I had all the medications that I needed to get better. Now I'm ready to find my forever family.

My dream family (or person) will have nice big yard for me to run & play in. Someone to take me for long walks and hikes...or take me for a swim!!! I don't really fetch. I just prefer to keep the ball from everyone else. Hehehe! I think the couch is partially mine, so move over because I'm sitting up there with you! Oh, and my nice lady showed me how comfy a king size bed was, so I sleep there! I will sleep on the floor but I'll hang my head and make you feel guilty about it. I L♡VE to go outside and enjoy the fresh air but, other then counter surfing (I love butter!), I'm very good indoors. Because I'm a big boy I don't need a crate, in fact, I really, really don't like them. So, while my nice lady is at work, I spend my days with my 4 legged foster sister, lounging on the couch, the recliner, the bed and sometimes I just stretch out on the floor. My nice lady comes home at lunch to take us out to go potty so I haven't been left in ALL day.  I love kids, all guys and gals, dogs, cats and ferrets. I think I might have lived with a hunter before (a little buckshot in the ear says a lot...plus I like to flush birds & rabbits out of the bushes) so I think, maybe, I shouldn't live with chickens or ducks?

I love to ride in the car so if you putter around your farm all day count me in! I love to go on walks & hikes but I'm not allowed to run free. I tend to like to discover my surroundings without my person... probably how I got lost to start with. I'm kinda strong so I'm working on not pulling on the leash. In the house, I will follow my person from room to room. I'll let you know if I've got to go potty by whining & bugging you until you get my hint. And if I THINK YOU are going outside I get REALLY excited to go, too.  I'm a little demanding for attention and I will nudge you with my nose to get you to keep petting me. It's really cute and it works! I know that's a LOT of "about me" but if you think we could live happily ever after together, hit me up! Love, Duke

Hello!  My name is Garrison.  I try very hard to be good and my foster mom says I am a sweet boy.  I do have a secret… I’m nervous about meeting new people.  I’m looking for that special person who can help me be more confident and trusting. I take treats very gently.  I love to play and would love another dog around to help me be comfortable… but probably not an alpha dog.  I would probably do better in a home without kids.  My greatest wish is to be in a home with someone who could spend a lot of time with me!  I have done really well with my foster family and am so looking forward to having a family of my own.  If you are the lucky one to help me, you will have a very loyal and loving companion!  I really want to be Man’s Best Friend to someone!

Hello my name is Hayes, a 39 pound black Lab puppy*. I could tell you how good I am in the house, crate, and the car but you might call me a lying dog.  You could ask my foster how great I am with the other dogs, the grandkids and all the company that comes by, but he is a salesman and everyone knows they are born liars.  So I am just going to refer you to the three pictures below and let you decide. Pictures always tell the truth!  Then I would suggest you line up at the door because I become available very soon and some lucky winner is going to take me to my forever home.

*Disclaimer: Hayes is a 5-6 month old puppy; puppies of this age need to go outside to relieve themselves every 4-5 hours, meaning if you don’t like getting up at 3-4am and going outside in the cold and rain it would be best not to get in that line mentioned above.

Hi! My name Erica. My foster mom tells me I'm a very pretty, well behaved girl. I'm not crated when my foster parents are home because they've never seen me try to chew anything I'm not supposed to (I've never even picked up one shoe!), counter surf, jump on people, or have an accident in the house.  In addition, I ask permission before getting on a bed or couch by putting my front paws on it and looking at my foster parents.  In the master bedroom, I sleep on the floor next to their bed.  They have one bed they don't mind me jumping in, but it took them a while to convince me it's really okay!  When I do get in bed, I'm a swell cuddler and won't budge all night.

I am crated when they're not home.  My foster mom thinks I was previously crate trained because I go in to my crate really easily.  She just points and says "crate" and in I go! I also find comfort in my crate so I'll often go in on my own to rest or if I feel nervous. I am very timid and don't feel very comfortable around strangers (especially men!) so I'll need time to warm up to new people.  You'll need to have a little patience with me when you first meet me because I won't be your friend immediately, but you won't need to worry about my behavior because I'm pretty darn perfect!

Koal is a sweet boy that absolutely loves his humans and is beautiful.  He has the most gorgeous eyes, a wonderful happy tail, a beautiful coat,  and gives super sweet and gentle kisses.

Koal loves to chase birds and squirrels in the yard and is very keen looking for them on a walk.  He is not dog reactive on a walk (when they bark) but he really isn't fond of other dogs.  He wants to be your only guy!  He lets other dogs that try to make friends know that he's not really interested.  He can be trusted in the house, is potty and crate trained and wants nothing more than to be with his people.  He is a fantastic dog for a house with no other animals and where someone can walk him and love him and him alone.  I believe he would be great in a home where he can get frequent walks (or runs) to improve his leash manners and where he isn't alone for extended time periods.

If left outside for extended periods I can see that he would wear the yard out chasing every bird that lands or squirrel that comes by.  But with is humans and fully a part of the family, he will be a great dog.

Bluey LOVES to play, be petted and follow ANYTHING with a squeaker - like a ball. He has a beautiful, soft coat and walks very well on a leash.

Bluey is a sweet, playful dog but he is possessive of his food and people so would do best as an only dog. He was timid around foster dad at first but after a few days and some TLC, he now goes to him without any problems. We don't know how he is around children. He is scared by loud noises and a lot of activity still so we try to keep everything chill and simple with him.

He "smiles" when he's happy to see you and also tries to wag his entire body. He loves his ears to be rubbed and he LOVES to eat.

Daisy-Lyn's  is simply the sweetest and easiest dog to ever come into our home.

A bigger lady, who is well into her senior years, Daisy-Lyn just wants to love and be loved. At 11-years-old, she still loves to go on walks, but a little arthritis in her ankles limits her distance. When she's not on walks, she enjoys relaxing on her bed or at your feet. We've never had to worry about keeping her in a crate, because she is 100% trustworthy in the house. She is very good with cats & small children. In fact, a pair of 4-year-old twins love laying on her and petting her and telling her how pretty she is. Daisy can't get enough of that!  She also enjoys hanging with her foster sister and playing with other dogs she meets on her daily walks.

Leilani is one big, beautiful girl, with the most beautiful and soft silver coat. She is sweet, very lovable and a great companion. Weighing in at a healthy 70lbs, she is a typical 2.5 year old lab. She has so much love to give and is full of energy. Although she has a lot of energy, she stays pretty calm while in the house. She is potty trained and loves to lay by your feet or on her bed. While she is crate trained she doesn't love to be in one. She knows sit and we are working on other tricks. Leilani will do best in an active home and because of her size, she will do best in a home with older children. This girl will be your new sidekick and best friend.

Onyx is a very sweet and gentle dog and has blended into his foster family’s home quite well.  He is a very independent and laid back dog and would be the perfect companion for someone who wants a low maintenance dog. Onyx is very good with his human foster sisters, ages 9 and 13, and keeps the oldest one “company” at night.  Like any other lab, he loves to be scratched, rubbed, and given lots of love, which he gets plenty of from his foster family!  Onyx also loves riding in the car and when he tires of having his face out the window, he will just curl up in a ball in your backseat and take a little nap!  Onyx gets along with his foster sister (7yo chocolate lab) and brother (3yo Rottweiler) but is mostly disinterested in playing and will let them know when he isn’t in the mood.  Onyx would probably prefer to be the only dog in the house. Onyx loves to go on walks and to go in the backyard and chase squirrels up trees and is just as content being outdoors as he is indoors.Onyx’s foster family learned the hard way that Onyx is a “counter surfer” so you will need to make sure that all goodies (and even other items you may not consider to be a goody) are completely out of reach.  Onyx will go into a kennel but doesn’t really like it all that much.  But, if nothing is within his reach, he is good to be left in the house.  He is completely potty trained and has had no accidents since he has been with his foster family.

When Onyx first came to the rescue, he had an ear infection and a yeast infection that made parts of his skin appear to be “elephant-like.”  The good news is that the wonderful vet says his ear infection is almost healed and his skin has never looked better!  Onyx’s foster mom is giving him a bath with a special shampoo that continues to help his skin.  Since he’s been with his foster family, he looks like a completely different dog and it has been such a treat seeing him get better.

Hi! My name is Janie, but my foster mom calls me Pretty Girl. Are you looking for a beautiful blonde who enjoys a good meal, evening walks, snuggles, and an endless game of fetch?  If so, I’m your girl!  I’m recovering from heartworm treatment so my foster parents won’t let me go on long walks or play fetch right now, but they say by the end of February I’ll be cleared to play. I can’t wait!  

From my pictures you may have noticed that I haven’t missed a meal.  What can I say? I like to eat.  My fosters have put me on a weight management program to help me get back in shape. Once I’m off this rest period, I’ll be able to exercise more and regain my svelte shape. Are you willing to help me shed these extra pounds?

From Janie’s foster mom: In the 2 weeks that Janie has been with us, she has been a wonderful addition to our home. She settled in quickly to our routine. Within a few days she had demonstrated that she was trustworthy enough to be left out of her crate while we were at work.  She hasn’t been around other dogs or cats since we’ve had her, but she did live with another lab previously.

Janie knows basic commands, takes treats gently, and is fully housetrained.  She loves to be near you, but isn’t clingy. She enjoys belly rubs and snuggling in the chair while we watch TV. She is going to make a wonderful addition to someone’s family!

This lab is truly a puppy at heart. She may be about a year old, but she is still frisky and excited just like a puppy! Ivanka absolutely positively loves playing and running around the house and really loves being outside.  This is a high energy Lab that would be great for a family that wants to do a lot of running around and playing. She would love it if you would throw balls and play with toys all day long with her. She gets along really well with other dogs. She loves to play with other dogs but is kind of bossy in her play.  Ivanka is potty trained and crate trained. She also knows sit and down.  We do not think she would be great with cats, because she chases the squirrels around the yard like crazy! 

After a busy day at play, Ivanka does enjoy cuddling on the couch in your lap with her family.  With her puppy manners and still learning all the rules of being a good dog in the house, she will do best being crated when you are not home.  Small children's toys may be too tempting for this gal.  Ivanka needs a high fiber diet or her tummy gets upset.  Right now she gets special kibble from the vet.  She may eventually be able to be weaned to regular kibble, but also may need to stay on high fiber kibble her whole life. Ivanka is a super friendly, super sweet, very playful lab that would love to find her forever home.

Hi! My name is Bender. I was found roaming around before I was introduced to my foster family. I was very confused as I could never figure out why someone would let handsome old me loose. After a nice bath I feel better and I have now made myself at home and am working on getting some weight back on. I love my daily walks with my foster sister and get along with anyone around. I’m also pretty smart and have learned to sit, chase balls and how to roll outside. I love attention and would do best in a home where I can get plenty of exercise and attention. I am house trained and am also going to be crate trained pretty soon.

I look forward to becoming available and getting to my forever home as I will be a great addition to my new family.

Hi everyone!! My name is Gary but my mom has been calling me Gunner. I have impressed my mom by how smart I am. I know how to sit, lay down, shake and my newest trick is speak. I love going on long walks and playing ball outside. I have a foster sister and we get along really well. I think she sometimes gets tired of me so I think a no cats home would be perfect. I love other dogs though so I would love having a playmate. I just like to play, play, play. My mom says I am perfect because I will cuddle with her when she wants but I also will give her space. I love to be by her side though, especially when she is in the kitchen cooking. She thinks I must’ve been given human food because I like to beg which is something that she says we are working on. If you are looking for a patient, fun loving companion, you have found your match. I can’t wait to meet you!!

Beca is a lovely young girl! An untreated injury early in her life has meant she's a healthy and happy three-legged pup, 30 pounds and growing. She is incredibly sweet natured and loves people and kids and other dogs, seeking out their company and snuggles. She plays a lot with her foster brother lab (you wouldn't know she's on three legs!) and is great on a leash. She's playful and active but also calm for her age, relatively speaking. She crates well, with no concerns. She is such a darling, such a lovely and affectionate temperament, and will make her furever family so happy!

Hello, my name is Fredderico, but my friends call me Freddie, my foster dad calls me Knucklehead, however you can call me anything and I will come running.  The truth is I came a long way to get here. I am from far south Texas. How I made it is a complete mystery but here I am!  I am a gorgeous 59 pound boy who behaves 100% Lab and also 100% puppy. 

I have some good things - I walk great on the leash, ride great in the car, love the grandkids, get along great with all the dogs around here, and I’m even starting to like my crate at night.  Now what you can’t do is take your eye off me or I will trade my chew bone for a shoe or pillow. A roll of toilet paper is like prime rib to me and whatever is on the counter top is also fair game.  Have not done anything a normal puppy doesn’t do and the good news is that I am very smart. I do not like to be scolded so I learn fast and am very trainable.  I love to go on long walks, love the dog park where I can chase the tennis ball, and after exercise I settle down and become a very good boy. 

I am looking for a forever home, one with someone who can walk more than half a mile, throw a tennis ball more than 10 yards, and can stay up past ten o’clock. Not asking too much I am thinking.  I come available very soon and you better be lined up to see me! I am going to make someone a very good Lab.

Josephine is a 5 year old black Lab. She is an older wise dog. She is well behaved. Crate trained… yes.  She does like to snuggle on the furniture.  Her facial expressions will melt your heart. She has lots of expressions.  She’ll follow you wherever you go inside and outside and be right by your side. She will lay in your spot when you are not home. She lays in the other room during dinner when told. And her ability to stay is so impressive!

She loves her treats!!! She is gentle treat eater so kids can feed her. Josephine knows cats are not on the menu but will give them a nice stare down and might try to chase them, if given the opportunity. She does well with her foster cats but is always separated when left alone. Squirrels on the other hand have no mercy they will be chased or treed on a walk. She is a strong on a leash, and could benefit from some training. She knows her routines. Josephine likes to be told bye when you leave and may still look out the window to see you go. For Christmas she might just bring you a gift of her favorite toy to say she loves you!

Please, call me Manny ( my foster mom calls me ManMan). I can’t tell you much about my life before Lab Rescue. I know that I lived in the country and that I never had regular meals. When I came to my foster home I was pretty thin but am looking pretty good now if I do say so myself. At some point in my life, a prior owner thought he was doing well by me and bought a generic flea and tick medicine and put it on me. Well I will have that chemical burn on my back the rest of my life. It doesn’t bother me really and the hair has grown in quite a bit. My foster mom thinks I may have been chained up because I have a little scaring there too. But please don’t feel sorry for me. I am one happy boy and on to a promising new life. I am over my heartworms. I get to take walks and am learning all about this walking on a leash thing. I have 5 other dogs to play with every day. Now they are all girls, but lately I have met a couple of guys I liked and we hung out. You know, boy stuff.

I sleep indoors and really like the freedom I get. Since we have a dog door and a nice tall fence and I am not destructive like my foster sister Patsy is, I don’t have to stay in a crate while my humans are away I can go lay in the sun if I want to. When my foster mom needs to work in the office, I just hang out in the office with her and sleep on the dog bed. If I could order up my ideal furever home, it would be with a family that loves dogs like my foster mom does. I would have a large yard so I could sprint across it when I was feeling really happy. I would love a sister or brother and I would have a dog door so I could go outside and lay in the sun when it was nice outside whenever I want. My people would pet me and scratch my head and back (that scar itches sometimes) while they watched their favorite TV show before bed. Also I could go on car rides with them because I love car rides too. Someday, I know I will have that. My foster mom says she is looking for that for me. Hope to see you soon.

Love, Manny

My foster family calls me Sweetest Sally, because, apparently, I am the sweetest foster they've ever had!  In fact, I'm better behaved than the two labs who live in my foster home!  I'm very smart and a quick learner. I don't like to be left alone, though, and prefer acting as your shadow, unless I'm on my mission of hoarding shoes which I'll happily keep safely for you in my crate!

Hey there, my name is Craig but my foster parents call me Bear. Why do they call me Bear you ask? I guess I look like a small brown bear so Bear or Little Bear or Br’er Bear is what they call me. I like it and I wag my tail when they call my name! So my foster mom told me that I need to tell you the important things about me so I thought I would make a list.

• I am a handsome chocolate Lab (more of the English Lab build)
• I have been called a hunky chunk and a chunky monkey which means I am on a diet and exercise plan. I love to take walks though and the food is yummy. I am doing great so far.
• I am very soft and fluffy.
• I love to be petted. Tummy rubs are good too!
• I like my two foster lab brothers and my foster cat.
• I am house trained and never touch anything, however I do not like to be crated at all. Foster mom says we are working on that.
• I love to sleep on a dog bed in my foster parent’s bedroom. I may snore a bit but foster mom says that it is ok cause now foster dad knows what she has had to listen to for years!
• I can take a while to warm up to you but once I do, I am a loving guy. I need someone with the patience to understand it may take me a few days to trust my new forever family. I may do best with another dog so I am just part of the pack like at my foster home.

So that is some stuff about me… I am sure that I can add on to this later so check back and if you are interested in me, don’t forget to let the adoptions people know!

This pretty lady is one awesome dog and such a beauty too. She is playful, energetic and has the sweetest temperament. She sits on command, is potty trained and does well on the leash. She doesn't love the crate. But when she is in her crate she doesn't make a peep. She is a very trainable dog but will need a family that is still willing to work with her to make her the best she can be. She will, without a doubt, be your new best friend that you will want to take with you everywhere.

Mindy is a big, goofy, friendly girl who hasn't met a person or pup she hasn't liked. We feel that she would do best in a home with older kids, just so she doesn't bowl them over because she gets too excited. To say that she likes to play fetch is an understatement. She will play until your arm falls off :) We think she would fit best in a home with another dog or a very active family. Mindy still needs some manners, but she is smart and has learned a few tricks while in our care. She rides excellent in the truck with no issues. She crates easily and seems to prefer to sleep there. It was noted that Mindy needs to loose a few pounds, we have been exercising her every day and watching her food intake. She will be a great family member for someone.

Meet Winter!  He is a very sweet 17 month old Lab. 

Making up for lost time in the available food department, he loves to eat and needs to be monitored because he has discovered that food is GREAT!

He didn't mind his bath and seems to look fondly at the water while I'm in the bathtub. He'll even drink the water.

He loves to be petted and be loved.  He has no separation anxiety. He does well in the crate during the day and at night.

He makes us smile b/c he'll come and lay down on his back and want to be loved.  He'll chew on toys and carry them around for just short periods of time. He seems very quiet, calm and DOESN'T bark at all.

He plays well with other dogs and cats, however he would do best as a single dog in a household in order to help him become comfortable w/ his surroundings.

He is still very shy, and is often content to chill out by himself... VERY good dog and very SWEET.

BEAUTIFUL coat; has done very well with grain free food.

He is looking forward to his forever home!

Hey, Dino here! I am one gentle giant, that's for sure. Take one look in to my sweet lovable eyes and you will know just what I mean! 

I LIVE for tennis balls! I enjoy having one (or more) at ALL times! I love fetching with my foster siblings in a big yard. I would really enjoy a yard and another doggie companion at my forever home. I get along great with all 4 of my foster siblings, even when they get bossy or growl at me I just take it! :) I also love to swim and retrieve balls in the water. Being active and having someone to play with makes me happy! 

I am house broken of course and have loved using the dog door at my foster family's house. That sure would be an added bonus at my forever home. I listen to my foster parents when called. I can sit, stay, and shake. I am a big fan of the couch and though my foster parents had to break me of that habit, they still let me up from time to time because I am THE BEST snuggler! I am good with children age infant and up as long at they play and cuddle with me! :) The only REAL habit that my fosters broke me of was "counter surfing"…  can you blame me? Human food does that to you. So you may still need to watch me. When new company comes I may jump up, but just need a quick reminder and I am good! 

From Foster parents: Dino needs a home where he has another dog or person/s who will take the time to run him, throw the ball etc. He needs space, so a larger yard would be ideal. All he wants is to give his love and have it given in return. Dino would love to meet you and be yours forever! :)

Frosty is a sweet boy with limited jumping, no mouthy behavior with humans and he just needs to learn his manners.  Frosty is potty trained and walks very well on the leash.  Overall, he has good manners with other dogs and is a bit submissive at times.  However, when startled or impatient he can get a little cranky with other dogs.  It’s not harmful and he quickly apologizes, but it is probably be best if he is the only dog until he has become more confident in his position in the family.

He has lots of energy and needs a good walk or exercise every day.  He is a very good chewer who loves hard cheese chews and split antlers.  He is going to be a fantastic dog and is learning not to counter surf and more commands.  He's very smart and quickly learned to sit, use the doggie doors and be trusted in the house.  His facial bite marks are not as pronounced as when he came into the program and he really is quite handsome.  He will be a wonderful dog over time as he comes into his own and feels more confident in his role as “your guy”.

Graham is very sweet and calm; well suited to an indoor lifestyle.  He does like to play outside and chase/run.  He loves to chase mockingbirds in our yard.  He is very gentle with kids and likes to cuddle and will sit quietly with small children while they play on the floor.  He has gotten on very well with our older Lab and our Basset Hound who is a bit of a  handful, so I would say he is a good match for a household with other dogs.

He had some teeth problems, but he can eat regular food and is a very happy, positive dog.  When we first got him he didn't make any sounds and was very timid and scrawny, but he has put on weight well, and his coat is filling in nicely.  He will bark a little when excited, so he is getting to be a normal Lab again.

Hi guys, Bobby here, I’m getting settled in with my Foster Mom but just wanted to give  a quick shout out.

My Foster Mom said she hit the foster jackpot with me…guess that means I’m a pretty good guy.  I’m a big boy (94 lbs) but as gentle and sweet as can be.  I was owner surrendered due to a death.  My Mom thinks I had lots of love since I'm so well adjusted, well behaved and have lots of confidence.  I'm extremely handsome if I do say.  I do great in the car, am house trained, crate trained, and walk pretty good on a leash.   What more can you want from a big guy.  Oh and I get along with my foster kitty, really I just dont pay any attention to him.  I have a foster lab brother too but he is kinda of cranky with me and won't play so I pretty much leave him alone.  I love meeting all the humans and other dogs though on our  walks and wag my tail and greet very nicely, I don't want my size to intimate anyone.  If you want to give me belly rubs or cuddle with me on the floor, I’m happy to oblige.

I’m a healthy guy and should be ready to find my forever home real soon.  My Foster Mom said she has lots of adventures for us try so check back soon and I’ll let you know how I do and when I'm ready to find my forever home.

My foster mom says that I am an absolute sweetheart. I like nothing more than to be by your side and will follow you all throughout the house to be close to you! I am house trained and have never had an accident in the house. I love to learn, and my foster mom says that I learn new commands quickly (although I am sometimes selective about which ones to follow). I know "sit" very well--it's my favorite.  I still get a bit anxious at night when I am put into my crate and will bark and cry initially, but I am getting better at this!

I am a petite guy, weighing in at about 55 pounds. I am very calm, do not jump up, and love to give kisses. I have not spent time around any children while at my foster, but I think I would do great around tiny humans! I love to run and play in the backyard, and fetch is one of my favorite games. I do sometimes pull on the leash initially when I first get excited for my walk, and especially when I see another dog in the neighborhood. I love to play with other dogs and am very friendly. I would be a great addition to your family--thank you for considering me!

Buffy is a very friendly, sweet girl who was raised with 3 very young children. She loves other dogs and doesn’t get excited when seeing a cat outside. Not sure how she would act around one in a house.

Being a very active pup, she will carry around a toy wanting anyone to play with her. Will bring back anything that is thrown, but also loves to play “keep away” once she tires of retrieving. She doesn’t get on the furniture unless enticed by another dog while playing. She's house trained, rides great in a car, and walks good on a leash.

Buffy would do great in a home with one or more dogs, children, or active family.  Some guidance will bring out the best in her.

She looks forward to batting her beautiful blonde eyelashes at you!

Nacho, or as I call him Henry, is an awesome dog.  He is stunning, almost regal, but has a quirky side as well.  He is very well mannered, gets along great with other dogs and is always ready to play.  He loves to hang out on the couch in the evenings and is great when visitors come over.  He loves to take walks and does very well on the leash.  Everyone comments on how handsome he is.  He’s great to let me know when there is someone at the door, mailman, etc.  He would fit in nicely with an active family with teenagers or other dogs.  He’s the perfect combination of playfulness and calmness all wrapped into one beautiful dog.

Hello Humans, let me tell you a little bit about me.

I am a calm big boy, tall and long at 62lbs, but I am a little underweight. I can’t get enough of being loved on. I will put my head in your lap as often as you allow. Would also love to spend time sleeping in bed, cuddled up with you. An active family that does outdoor fun stuff would be a dream come true. Would really love a big yard to run in, so I can stretch these long legs out.

I love playing with other dogs, so another playmate would be great. I don’t know much about cats, so I’m not so sure about being around them. I ride great in a car. Take treats so nice that even a child could feed me. Can be a little mouthy at times, but foster mom doesn’t like that, so I am trying to fix it to make her happy.

Been learning how to walk nicely on a leash, but that could take some time. I just seem to be more in a hurry than foster mom. I am not a big fan of being crated. If I must be put in one, it will need to be heavy duty, like Fort Knox. Been working on getting better at trusting the whole crate process. I have shown foster mom though that I don’t mess around with anything that’s not for us dogs. So, she can leave me uncrated when away from the house. I have been known to check to see if the counters are clear, but I have gotten much better at not doing that.

Just looking for a family to call my own, to love, to play, to watch the world go by with - a family that I will love forever!

Hi! My name is Ksogi or "King" as my foster family calls me.  My foster family thinks I was a hunting/outside dog so I had a lot to learn about being a inside the house dog. I have learned a ton, city living is the life for me!! I have learned we go potty outside, I know how to sit, I learned good boy cookies are kept in the kitchen. I love meal time and treats and I have worked hard to learn to be a good inside dog. I LOVE “rassling” with my foster dog brother, he also taught me the joy of napping on the sunny spot in the living room. He and I have lots of fun. 

There is a 9 year old real boy who lives here too and I love snuggling with him (I try to sneak on his bed during story time!) While the family watches TV, I sit on the floor by the couch and love to be petted. I wasn’t able to sit still long enough for people to pet me before but I love a good belly rub now. If it has been a while I will bump your hand to pet me. I am still not good with stuffed animals, they are my weakness. I have performed a couple eye-ectomies and nose removals (don’t tell the real boy). I am very sorry and I did not get good boy cookies those days :(

I love going on walks, carrying mom’s workout weights for her (see photo), yep, that is a 10 pound weight, playing with my foster bro, snuggling with the real boy and being petted and loved on.  I am a bit on the skinny side – I still need to gain a few pounds.  

Come on over and check me out in my new city digs.

Patron is a BIG dog in every sense of the word: Big head + big heart + big personality = big chocolate Teddy Bear

With his bigness comes strength and stamina that would be best appreciated in an active family with activities that would include him. He definitely needs a daily walk or run – good for his body, his mind and bonding with his human.

Patron is exceptionally smart and very loving. He is willing to please and easy to train but he can be strong willed. Patron will need an owner that has large dog experience. An obedience class would be recommended for the dog and owner in this case.

He is a dog that loves other dogs, children and grownups. Patron is an alert dog. He is protective of his family – always ready to give a warning bark as needed and will keep an eye on the postman.

My name is Ty “the Friendly Guy.”  I’m a 5-year-old black Lab who loves to run, fetch and snuggle after I’m tired out.  I enjoy my duck, playing with my foster brother Reggie and sleeping by the fire.  I have no problem sleeping in my crate at night (but will gladly sleep on a bed if asked J).  Like most people, I have started my year with a diet to help drop a few pounds – all this running and fetching is helping too.  I’m the kind of guy who needs this kind of daily exercise outside.  I’ll make a great companion for the right family!

Teva is cuddly little girl that loves to be around people. She think she's a lap dog, oh wait a minute she is not a dog! She thinks she's a human! She ignores the two other 4 legged animals (dogs) in the house and doesn't understand that they want to play with her! She seems to be saying "I am NOT an animal." We are working on being house trained, and she doesn't particularly like being in the crate when her foster mom and dad arrive home. She lets you know that she wants out! She loves to chew on bones and plays with toys. Most of all, she likes being on your lap or at your feet. She is a sweetie.

Hi! My name is Gibson and I'm adorable. I am an active guy who is lucky to have a foster sister to play with in the yard. I love to play catch and fetch, play with other fur friends and I really like walks. Do you like to take long walks and snuggle?  I am working on some new tricks, being in a crate and gaining some weight. I may be the perfect guy for you if you like to spend lots of time together, take long walks, eat yummy things and snuggle and cuddle. Did I mention I am loyal and I want to be by your side?  I would love it if you were home all day with me.

Hi, I’m Hunk, although I answer to the name Max. My previous mom got really sick after my dad died, so DFW Lab Rescue is helping me find another forever home while I hang out with my foster family. When I first got to my foster family’s house, I was very confused and barked a lot. But just over the short time I have been here, I have quickly realized that I am safe and now I only bark when I am excited. Although my records and gray hair say I am seven, I feel like a puppy (a 125 pound puppy), except I’m already house trained. I love to be wherever my foster mommy is and get my tummy rubbed, and I also love to play with with foster canine siblings. Overall, I have the heart of a puppy, the manners of an older dog, and the snuggles of a teddy bear. In my very humble opinion, I am a super awesome guy.

Samm loves to play!  He loves to play with other dogs and with his toys.  He is crate trained, potty trained and good on a leash.  He will take treats from your hand.  He knows sit and is learning how to fetch (the “giving it back to you” part he’s still working on!) He loves attention like all young dogs, and he is learning not to be mouthy (work in progress).  He responds well to treats and positive reinforcement.  He can’t wait to find his forever home!

Bluebelle is a very friendly, sweet and playful puppy. She loves to play with other dogs and would be best in an active home or a home with other dogs. She is mostly potty trained but needs to be let outside often or she will have an accident. She is a fast learner and can be trained. She has already learned sit, down, and we are working on shake. She is crate trained but still needs a reward. She loves to play fetch and tug-o-war. She will play all day if she could but at night she wants to snuggle up close to her humans.

Season's Greetings everyone!  My name is Charming and I am about 2 years old.  I don't remember much of my previous life.  I was found running around in the country, alone and afraid, until I was saved by some wonderful humans.  I know I had a home at one time because I do remember how to behave nicely in the house. I don't mess with things I'm not supposed to.  I also remember I like to sit on the big soft dog bed that my foster mom also sits on. It sure is fun to have her on that comfy thing with me. I have a foster brother and we get along fine. I want to play with him, but he's a little older and not quite as goofy as I am. My foster mom is trying to teach me how to play ball and that's been so much fun.  I'm still mastering the "bring it back". But I don't care, I just have fun running around.  I walk very nicely on the leash and only pull a little bit when I see a squirrel, but I think that's kind of a given.  I also jump some when I get excited, but I'm trying to work on that.  I would love to join your family and I know you would be very happy with me.  I am very loving, calm, handsome and, well, Charming!

Hi. I'm Dak. I'm a chocolate male, super sweet, and I have a lot of energy. I really love to play fetch when we're outside. And I also love to ride in the car. I just like to be with my people! When we're at home, I like to snuggle up with you (on the floor or on my bed - but  if you'd like, I'd be happy to sit with you on the couch or your bed!)

I'm crate trained and potty trained. I've never had an accident in the house, and if I accidentally pick up something that's not mine, I'll drop it when you tell me 'no'. I'm doing better walking on a leash, occasionally I get excited and pull a little bit. I'll sit on command, but sometimes my foster mom has to remind me.

I think I would like to be The King (only dog) in my new home.  I don't like cats, either.

I can't wait to find my forever home!

Tebogo.  This stately young beauty of a dog is about as easy going as a dog can be.  He is friendly and outgoing, and loves everybody he meets, including other dogs and children.  While he hasn't met any of the feline type yet, Tebogo is so chill that foster mom thinks he will be just fine with them too!

Tebogo loves a good walk, and doesn't pull on a leash at all.  After your walk, Tebogo will be happy to just nap along lazily or sleep in the yard, no demands or attention required...he is just that chill of a dog!  No crates needed for this well behaved guy at his foster's, he is a well mannered gentleman!

Tebogo means, "We Are Thankful".  Some lucky family will certainly be thankful to have this lovely dog as part of their family!

Hi! My name is Willa but my foster mom calls me her Brown Eyed Girl. I am a very calm girl who loves to greet you with a wagging tail and then settles down with cuddles on the couch. I'm always excited to go for walks. I walk fairly well on a leash but I like to pull a bit so we are practicing how to take our time and enjoy the smells. My foster siblings are always playing with tennis balls and toys but I'd rather just hang out and get some love and pets from my mom or enjoy the sunshine on my coat. If you are looking for a calm dog that loves to cuddle, I am your dog. I can't wait to meet my furever family.

Who wouldn’t love my sweet loving face?

Hi!  I’m Fudge--60 lbs of pure sweetness!  My foster mom says I am the sweetest, happiest boy.  I love people and I love other dogs.  I get along great with my foster lab brother.   He’s bigger than me and he makes the best pillow.  I’m a submissive boy and I really like belly rubs and snuggle time.  I love to go in my kennel and it’s where I like to sleep at night.  I bark like a puppy when you leave the house but I eventually settle down.  It’s probably best that my furever family live in a house (not an apartment).  And I’d especially love it if someone is home with me during the day.  Or you could take me with you--I love car rides too!

I’m an easy-going, fun boy and I haven’t gotten into trouble a single time with my foster mom.  I don’t counter-surf and I don’t chew on things that are not mine.  My foster mom has noticed that I am very aware of boundaries and I scurry out of the room sometimes for what seems like no reason.  She suspects that someone might have been a little stern with me in the past.  She really wants to be sure I go to a home that will use positive reinforcement and appreciate my gentle spirit.

I can jump 4 feet high and I get really excited when I hear children play or when I see a squirrel.  So it’s important that my furever family has a high and secure fence.  I’m a fast runner and I need you to keep me safe.  With all of that talk about jumping and running fast, I want you to know that I’m a good boy when you take me for walks.  I’m a natural on a leash and I love to go on walks.  They say I’m 4 years old...but I am really 4 years young.  My foster mom says someone is going to hit the JACKPOT when they adopt me.  Who wants to be the lucky winner?

Hi there, my name is Aluna, but my foster family calls me "Luna" for short.  Whenever I hear "Luna", it gets my attention as I know it means business time (hopefully important stuff like treats)!  I do have an extreme case of the "Wiggles", and would not make a very good security dog.  I just love people too much to do anything but hit them with my tail or kiss them!

I have a foster brother here who is awesome to play with, and I really hope my fur-ever home has a sibling for me too.  I'm learning a lot here at my foster house, and there have been a lot of new things for me.  I hope my fur-ever family will be patient with me.  My first years were mostly in a crate or outside, so I'm still learning some new things about this new life.  When I first got here I had a couple of accidents in the house, but I'm learning this whole house thing quickly.  I'm an excellent cuddler, and my favorite place to be is as close to you as possible.  I do sleep in my crate at night or if my foster mom has to leave the house.  I don't mind it so much, and if she has out my favorite treats--I bounce into my crate happily!  All I want to do is please you!

From the foster parents:  Luna is as sweet as can be, but hasn't been taught much.  We have made a lot of progress with housebreaking, and she’s almost there.  She has occasionally chewed a few things, although not an extreme case.  Like most labs, if she doesn't have something appropriate to chew on if bored, she will find something.  She does really well with my lab.  We only separate them when eating as Luna can quickly finish hers, and then will go eat the others too.  She doesn't self regulate food too well, and can overeat.  I'm not sure if this is something she can be taught or if best to stick with dedicated meal time and portions.  We have taught her sit, and she is getting better on the leash. With just some time and attention, she will be a great and loving dog.

I don’t mean to be Bad but I am still very much a puppy so please have some patience with me.  While I take treats nicely, I LOVE meal time and if you’re not watching, I’ll go for my foster sibling’s food.  I love my toys and I’ve checked out a couple of my foster parent’s things when they weren’t looking.  I don’t mind the crate for a short time and am working on being in there for longer periods of time.

Hi everybody! My name is Judy but my foster mom calls me Lucy! Are you looking for the sweetest, gentlest girl ever? Then I'm your dog! I was rescued off the mean streets and I'm still putting on weight, but am a beautiful girl. I'm a big, tall pup and when I finish putting on weight I should weigh around 80 or 85 pounds! I have very nice manners and don't get on furniture without an invitation, am housebroken, and am very trusty in the house when you're gone - I'm very content to take a nap on my nice warm bed. I don't bark and I really just want to put my head in your lap so you will rub my ears. I love toys and bones and I don't even seem to notice my foster sister so I think I would just fine in a home with another dog. I am still not sure about this thing called a leash, though, and will need some help adjusting to walking on one. If quiet, calm, and sweet are on your list then please ask Santa to meet me and we can become best friends forever!

By putting me under the tree

And I promise I won’t pee…

Yes, I am totally housebroken and won’t touch a thing.  I have done very well not being crated. No shoes, cords or furniture for me, only dog toys. I can be crated though if you want. I do chase anything that moves, so a cat wouldn’t make a good playmate, but another dog sure would. I have fun playing with my foster brother!

I am big on cuddling and giving kisses. I am very laid back but also love a nice walk or even a run.  As much as I love my humans however, I do prefer older children, not those little ones.

When I find my forever home, that will be a dream come true!

Dunn is an active, confident and sweet black beauty who is ready to find his forever family.

He gets along well with other dogs, loves fetching anything that is thrown in the yard, and can’t wait for his walk everyday.  He is potty trained and does well in his crate overnight, but is now adapted to his foster home and cuddles up with his lab brother at night instead.  That is his absolute favorite place to be, but cuddling up to a human will do just as well!  He’s just a cuddle bug in general :)

Dunn is a very happy guy and responds well to training commands.  He is still young so needs further training to expand his knowledge of commands, but he’s a quick learner so will complete training fairly easily. 

He would be best with someone that wants a running buddy or will make sure he gets some good exercise daily.  Dunn is used to being around either people or other dogs all day, so an ideal home would have a similar environment where he has plenty of stimulation throughout the day.

Howdy!  My name is Gosego, but my foster parents just call me Goose.  I am a very happy and fun spirited Labrador Retriever.  I am extremely energetic.  And I really love being around my people.  I mean a lot.  I am one of those 'velcro' labs that likes to be exactly where you are all the time.  I also give lots of kisses.  Lots and lots of kisses.  You probably shouldn't adopt me if you don't like getting dog kisses.  It's my favorite thing!

I also love playing with squeaky toys.  I am sort of learning to figure out how to bring the toys back when I chase after them, but I really love playing catch with squeaky toys.  I was a little bit of an over enthusiastic dog when I first got to my foster house, but my foster mom and dad have been teaching me some manners.  I know sit and down and I am learning stay.  I go in my crate pretty ok and I do well there when you are at work.  I am not so great at being in my crate when you are home because I want to be where you are.  I do well with other dogs, but my foster parents say absolutely no cats!

I am one of the happiest Labs my foster mom has ever seen.  I always seem to have a smile on my face.  If you would like to give me the furever home I deserve fill out an application today and ask for me!

I am just a big teddy bear with the saddest eyes.

Spooky is a super sweet and lovable guy!  He is goofy, fast, smart and typical in lots of ways for a 1.5 year old guy. On walks, he's curious and fairly courteous.  Improving quickly, with more time, he will be excellent walking and/or running with someone who wants an active dog. 

He gets along great with other dogs and isn't easily scared.  He startles occasionally, but his reactions are typical and not at all over the top. He would be great with kids as he doesn't jump or isn't too rough when playing. He likes toys - all toys - so he will need lots of "approved" things to chew on.

Spooky sits nicely and is learning not to counter surf. He's tall and the bathroom counters and bathtub rims are areas of real interest, particularly eating the bubbles from a bubble bath!  He makes ready use of the doggie door when nature calls and, after only one incident the first day, has been perfect in his “potty” habits.

He likes to run so a secure leash is a must outside of a contained area.  Did I say he's fast?  He is fast!

Hi!  My name is Creighton, but my foster mom (FM) has been calling me No. 9.  I’m about a year old and FM says I’m the easiest foster she’s had so far.  She says I’m very mature for my age.  I’m really laid back, but I still like to have some fun.  My favorite things to do with FM are play tug-of-war and keep-away with my toys.  Sometimes I’ll let go and let her throw it so I can run and get it and bring it back, like a good retriever should.  She says I’m really sweet with a cute and fun personality.  I’m good on the leash, ride well in the car, and love playing with my kitty roommate.  I’m not mouthy at all, so I’m really good with kids.  And I don’t jump up on people, which FM says is a really good thing.  I’m potty trained and will stay in a crate when I need to, although I’d rather be out with you as much as possible.  I love cuddling up with FM on the bed at night.  I can’t remember how I ended up in the shelter; I was picked up as a stray.  I have a small scar on my head, so maybe that’s why I can’t remember!  I’m still gorgeous though (at least that’s what I keep hearing the humans say)!  FM says I must have belonged to a family once because I’m so good with people and I know sit and shake and I take treats gently.  I don’t bark a whole lot, even when the crazy neighbor dogs are barking at me when I’m in the backyard.  I love other dogs, even the little rat looking dog that lives here; she growls at me a lot, but FM says it’s just because she’s old and grumpy. FM says I would be perfect for any family…younger, older…anybody!

Some people want to adopt a specific kind of dog.  Some people only want a puppy.  Or only a yellow Lab.  Or only a female.  But that's not you.  You're here, on this webpage for an entirely different reason.  You came to DFW Lab Rescue because you want to make a difference in the life of a dog.  You want to help the one that needs the most help.  Your heart is huge and your mind is open.  You don't care if the Lab is old, or sick, or has special needs.  You love Labs so much that you want to change the world for a special dog.  And that's why you need Russett.  Russett is possibly the sweetest dog on earth.  She loves to cuddle.  She love hugs and kisses.  Russett follows her people wherever they go so she can just hang out where they are.  She's very calm and potty trained.  But Russett is 10.  Her family thought she was worn out.  That she didn't have any fun left in her so they dumped her in the shelter.  But they were wrong.  Russett loves.   Russett lives.  Russett is awesome.  Like any older lady, Russett loves to eat and nap.  But she also really really loves her people.  Kisses and cuddles are handed out abundantly when Russett is around.  So if you would like to not only change the life of a very very special dog, but also make your heart swell with love and happiness, consider adopting this sweetheart.  You'll be so very glad you did.

Looking for a young pup that loves other dogs, is house and crate trained? I’m your dawg!!

Since I am still young and most of that time was on the mean streets, I am a little on the thin side and I get very excited when there is food around. I am still learning this strange thing called “house rules” but foster mom keeps her eagle eye on me.

Thanks to my foster brother, I am learning about how to retrieve. My favorite thing is playing with the other dogs. Foster mom even caught me trying to get the resident vet clinic cat to play. I would love to have a brother or sister to play with, but I can be a little much for an older dog right now.

I know you would make the perfect match for me!

Feel free to call me Bella. I know my name after all. My favorite activity of all time is to snuggle with you. I love to lay on the couch with you to watch TV. I love to come sit by your side and look into your eyes and tell you how much I love you. If you need to work in your office, just give me a dog bed near you and I will snooze while you do so. 

I like all those other dogs just fine and we will play at the drop of a hat. I am going to bark out the play rules while we do so though. But don’t be alarmed, I wag my tail the entire time, somebody just has to set the rules you know! 

I am a petite little girl and until you find the food I like to eat and I get comfortable with you, I will be a bit finicky in my eating. I also like to see what is on the counter or what you are fixing for dinner and my foster mom keeps telling me that is not allowed. She keeps everything out of my reach and says "off".

I am learning all the basic rules sit, off, no jump, walking on a leash, you know. The potty outside thing I have down though. We have a doggie door in our foster home and I go out whenever I want. When no one is home, I stay in the crate because after all I am a puppy and I still like to chew on stuff. But at night, I sleep in the dog bed in my foster mom’s bedroom with everyone else. Though I would really love to sleep in the bed with you. I am looking for my forever home and am hoping that Santa will help me there when he comes to bring us gifts.

I am a 4-5 month old black male Labrador.  I like to play hard with my foster sister Bonnie.  I am your typically puppy but probably a little sweeter than most.  I'm pretty good about ringing the bells to let my foster parents know when I need to go outside to potty or to play but you have to be quick to let me out!  I love ice cubes and I also like to leave them on the kitchen floor to melt into a little puddle.  I am looking for a forever home that will give me a lot of attention and will take me with them on family outings.  I like other dogs and kids.

Marilyn is an absolutely sweet dog. She loves people and wants to be by your side all the time. She loves nothing more than laying with her owner on the couch snuggling. She is great in the crate but prefers to be by your side. I feel like she tolerates my dog but would rather be the sole dog in the house. Marilyn is fantastic on the leash and has been learning new tricks as well as the basics of sit, shake and lay down.  She would do better with older kids.

Every morning is the dawn of a new adventure, every bowl of dog food a banquet, every training session a chance to excel, and every new human acquaintance a new great friend!  This   seems to be the mindset of Badger, a gorgeous two-year old male chocolate Lab.  It is hard to imagine Badger ever having had a bad day in his life – even the day he got hit by a car in East Texas and injured his left front paw.

Badger has worked hard in his physical therapy to rebuild the strength in his left front paw.  He used to walk/hop (and run!) on his three other paws. He now can put weight on and walk on his left paw. He also uses his front left paw running at the dog park.  With continued exercise (slow-paced walks), he should continue to build strength and improve his gait.  Badger learned to swim (and learned to love swimming) during his physical therapy, and Badger’s vet physical therapist says swimming is the best therapy for his paw.  An ideal forever home would have a pool or other access to water.  However, any forever home where Badger can go on slow-paced walks daily would work out well for him and his continued recovery.

While he is not rambunctious, Badger still retains some of his puppy exuberance.  From dawn until bedtime, Badger loves to be with people.  He seems genuinely intrigued by any sort of human activity.  He gets along beautifully with his older foster big brother Jax.  They engage in tug-of-war and puppy play daily.  Badger uses a dog door, and he is very comfortable being crated.  At times, he chooses to nap in his crate.

Badger learned his basic commands (come, sit, stay, lay down) very quickly, walks on his leash very well, and enjoys retrieving.  He gets along great with children, especially his 10 year old human foster boy.  Badger is a wonderful dog, and he will make a great addition to a lab-loving home.

Hi!   My name is Burney and I am the best male yellow Lab ever… at least that’s what my foster mom says!  I am a sweet and gentle boy and love being with my foster family. I absolutely adore my foster dog brother and sister and love to play with them and also love my two human sisters who are 9 and 12.

I love to go on walks, although I do tend to pull a little on the leash…I just get so excited to sniff all the different smells around me!  I will go in a crate but to be honest, I don’t really like it all that much.  My foster mom says that’s okay because I am not a chewer.  In fact, I haven’t chewed one thing since I’ve been with my foster family, despite all the stuffed animal temptations that my human siblings have laying around in their rooms! 

When I came to my foster family’s house, I didn’t get on the furniture at all.  Things have changed a little since then but only because I am always being invited on the couch and beds for hugs and kisses.  While I am very affectionate, I am not much of a licker.   

My foster family let me in the pool area with my foster dog sister who loves to swim but I didn’t seem too interested.  My foster family also thinks it’s a little strange that I am not ball obsessed like my foster dog sister who is a Chocolate Lab but I still like to play!  Tug-of-war is my favorite and my foster dog brother and I have a lot of fun!  I also like chew toys.  I am not possessive of toys or food and like to share.

I am looking for that special family who will love me unconditionally for the rest of my life.  I have so much love to give and can’t wait until I find my fur-ever home.  P.S.  Did I already tell you that my foster mom says I am the best?!?!

Timothy, or “Sunshine”, as his foster likes to call him, is the sweetest little soul of a puppy you would ever like to meet.  He is 18 months of puppy love.  He loves to play ball (and can carry several in his mouth), play fetch, but still loves his snuggle and nap time.  He crates well day and night, and entertains himself well with his balls and chew toys.  Timothy does well with other dogs, however he does like to be the “king of his castle” and needs a slow introduction to submissive animals and/or minimal in number.  His allergies are well controlled with grain free foods.

This little guy came to DFW Lab Rescue with  an injured leg that the vets determined was actually an old break that did not heal properly.  His front leg has a slight bow to it.  It causes Timothy no pain or discomfort.  It does not slow him down much at all and he is able to run with a cute little hop and play with his foster brothers and sisters beautifully!  So while Timothy may not be your running partner, we hope that the “tough break” that he had early in his life will not slow him down in finding his forever home!

Timothy is a beautiful, sweetheart of a puppy that isn't broken. He is a lesson to all us that what may appear disabled is merely "differently abled" in the human and the canine world. Timothy can’t wait to find his forever home!  Are you that special family?

He is calm, does not bite or jump, and does well with other dogs (although he doesn't enjoy rambunctious puppies too much). He is house trained and crate trained. He is fine with working families, and will greet you with plenty of love and excitement when you get home.

So, I was found as a stray, but I know I had a home at one time.  I'm a good guy in the house and I know the basic rules.  I know I have things to learn and one of them is patience with food. I'm a tall drink of water, but I need a little more weight on me, so food is my favorite thing. When it's relaxing time, I just love to be next to you on the couch so I hope you please won't get mad at me. I love to play with the squeaky ball and any other toys you might have. I have a foster brother and we get along great. We don't have any cats here, and that's probably a good thing. When I see them outside I get kind of excited. All in all, I'm a lot of fun and if I must say, I think I'm quite the handsome pup.

Hey there!!!  I know my official name is Brandon, but I go by BUDDY!!  Life is pretty good for me right now, but things haven’t always been so easy.  You see I was lost in the world.  I passed through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of swirly twirly gum drops, galloped through the wild west of Fort Worth and son of a nutcracker if I didn’t end up in Dog Jail.  They noticed immediately how adorable I was and before you know it DFW Lab Rescue swooped me right up. 

So now I am livin’ it up with my foster family.  Are you wondering what a perfect day with me would be like?.......Well…. First we'll make snow angels for two hours, then we'll go ice skating, then we'll eat an entire roll of Toll House cookie dough as fast as we can, and then to finish, we'll snuggle! 

Just kidding (except for the snuggle part).  I really just want to hang out with you and play ball ALL DAY LONG!!!  We can take snack breaks whenever you want!!  I like to hold hands and I will do just about anything for a treat!  Sometimes I get too excited at treat time, but I am learning to take my treats…GENTLY.

Waiting for my forever but until then I’ll just hang out here with my four legged foster bro, that grumpy cat, and foster mom and dad.

Note from foster Mom:  Sorry for all the Elf references before Thanksgiving, but Buddy the Elf kind of sums him up.  Pure sweetness, silliness, and just always eager to please.  Smiles and Laughter with this angel!

Marty is a handsome boy who is full of energy and loves to play! Unfortunately, his former owner did not have enough time for him, so Marty was surrendered to DFWLRRC. He is housebroken and crate-trained already, and he is currently working on not jumping or being mouthy. Marty does play rough sometimes and would do better with a family with no children or older children until he has some more training. He's still a puppy, but he walks surprisingly well on a leash. His favorite activities are walks/runs, playing with other dogs, and playing with his toys (especially balls). He would love an active family who can give him the attention he deserves!

ChuChi is a fun and very energetic 2 year old.  She spent too much time crated her first 2 years and is trying to figure out what it's like to be a full member of the family. What that means for ChuChi is, she's learning to sit and wait for treats and attention. She is learning to relax and not be "on" all the time.  

After a short adjustment period she figured out how to play with her new older and younger dog friends and is now comfortable chasing the ball together or playing tug with others.  She is super smart and once was properly shown the dog door and how to navigate it, figured out how to let herself out to play, cool off in the pool or take care of business.

As with any dog that wasn't trained early on, we still have issues to work on.  She is very curious and will try to counter surf but is learning that isn't the best behavior. When trying to get you to play with her she will nose you or something nearby to get your attention or occasionally get a little gently mouthy. This is really about attention and if properly exercised, decreases greatly.  She also still jumps with new people.  All of these behaviors are improving daily and as the day wears on and she has had more exercise, they become easier to control and correct.  

Her family history, she comes from a line of excellent hunting dogs, probably has a lot to do with her energy and need for exercise and engagement.  With proper training, I have no doubt she will be a great dog and - if someone is looking for a hunting dog to train - she just might have the bloodlines for the job!

Hey everyone, Gabe here and I’m here to tell you I’m now ready to find my forever home!  I had all my allergy testing and they found I was allergic to several things.   No biggie though, they mixed up a serum that will treat all my allergies  and I just need a shot every 2 weeks that you can administer at home.  I’ll probably  need these shots for the rest of my life.   Until the serum works, I will need a daily dose of Apoquel for a few months to help with the itching.  Really though, I am doing great, all my fur has grown back and I have to say, I’m a very handsome pup!

Guess what… I’ve learned how to swim!  I can’t get enough of playing in the lake to show off my new found skill. I’m pretty proud of myself!  My Foster Mom just cheers me on and tells me how good I’m doing and what a great swimmer I have become.  I like getting my feet wet in the pool but won’t swim without you in there with me.

I’m doing really well with the cat too. Since Foster Mom won’t let me play with him, I pretty much ignore him unless it’s just to give him a “good morning” lick!  I’m learning the “leave it” command and it’s working pretty well to remind me that the cat is not a toy.

I’ve learned how to heel on a leash and do really well walking next to you.  If you let me walk in front, I’m pretty strong with pulling, so most of the time I stay in the heel position.  I still like chasing those pesky squirrels.  My foster Mom makes me sit and watch them when I’m on my leash but if I’m in the backyard, watch out…I will make sure the yard is monitored and kept safe.

I love running and playing and have lots of puppy energy when we are outside. I love meeting other dogs and people and am very social.  Once inside, I settle down pretty fast and am happy just chewing on all my toys.  I’m doing better with not chewing on shoes and socks but I will grab them on occasion just to let you know you left them out and they need to be put away.  I go well in my crate and usually settle right down.  I love to snuggle and if you want to share your bed, I’m happy to oblige.   Oh and I’m totally house trained; I usually whine at the door to let you know I have to go out.

So as you can see, I’m a great catch.  I can’t wait to meet my forever family and start our happy ever after!

Hey guys!  My name is Charlie.  As you can see from my picture, I am a very handsome boy!  I am 6 ½ years old and a retired hunting dog.  When I was a pup, I went to live with a really nice family; however, they had a new little human that ended up being allergic to dog dander and they had to find me a new home.  We were all heartbroken.  But, after a few days with my new foster family I realized this is an opportunity for a new adventure!  Now I am very happy and looking for a family of my own. 

I have 2 foster lab sisters and I get along with them really well, however, they don’t really want to play with me.  My foster family also has a little human, and I just love her.  She likes to cover me up with blankets and snuggle and of course I let her!  There are also these furry creatures called cats.  I tolerate them, but they pester me all the time.  I know lots of commands including sit, go, stay and most importantly: “No!”  At night I love to cuddle with my foster family in bed, but they prefer I stay in my crate to sleep.  They said something about there isn’t enough room.  I don’t mind, I like my crate too. 

My foster mom says that I am a really good boy, but said I need to tell you that I am a special dog.  Apparently, I have something called diabetes.  I’m not really sure what that means, but my foster mom takes care of it all.  There is really nothing to it, she checks my blood sugar twice a day and I get a shot twice a day.  Oh yea, she also makes these treats that are so are sooooo good!  So whoever adopts me, has to get the recipe! 

Okay, now you know all about me and I am so excited to meet you!  Can you find it in your heart to love a special boy like me?

Aragorn is a beautiful, kind-hearted, gentle 7-year old black male who is looking for his forever family. He is calm and obedient. He crates beautifully on command. He walks very nicely on a leash using a gentle leader. He loves to be around people (both old and young) and will greet new friends with the typical "Labrador lean" and a tail wag. He is not destructive nor does he counter surf or jump up on people. He gets along well with his four-legged foster sister and the other 5 critters (guinea pigs) who reside in the house. He likes to go for rides and just be with you, wherever you are. He has come such a long way since he arrived into his foster home 2 months ago-- the before and after pictures would make you cringe. Through all of his medications and healing, this guy's heart has beat strong, made of solid gold.

Henley is a calm and loving chocolate Lab. He loves cuddles and kisses. He thinks he is a little puppy and would love to sit on your lap. He loves being petted, he will poke his little nose under your hand to get a pet out of you! He is completely house trained. You don’t need to dog proof your house because he doesn’t touch anything even when he is left alone. He responds to commands such as sit, stay, down, wait, back, out. He listens very attentively and obeys. He waits for his food to be put on the bowl and once he is commanded to ‘eat’ he finishes the whole bowl in 10 seconds :-) He loves playing with tennis balls, any ball really. He can play throw and catch for hours. He doesn’t need too much attention; he would be more than happy to just lay beside your feet for hours. 

He gets very excited when he goes out for a walk, but once the first jitters pass, he is very good on a leash and walks by your side. He approaches everyone and gives them a kiss if they want to. He is super friendly and loves being around people. He doesn’t like to be around small children.  He does startle when he hears loud noises.  He can’t wait to find his forever home!

Emilia is a stunning, active Lab who will need a very patient and understanding owner to work with her on her training.     She has a TON of energy and would be best in a home that has another young active dog to play with.    She is potty trained and knows the ‘sit’ command but that is about the extent of her training!  Because of her bad habit of jumping 2 feet in the air to greet any and all living creatures with much exuberance; she should not be placed in a home with children under the age of 10 years.     Emilia is also a great cuddler. She loves to be near you and is very affectionate.    She is on the smaller side, about 60 pounds.    We are working on her crate training- she does not like to go in; but once in she is fine especially if there is a peanut-butter filled Kong.

Hello, my name is Winston!  I’m a 65 pound 13 month old male black Lab and if I do say so, a very handsome Lab!  No question that I am the smartest Lab on this page! So how did I get lost if I’m so smart?  Simple… my Iphone went dead and I was depending on Google Maps to get me home.  You would think that as much money as my owner just spent on me they would have spent a few more dollars and had me chipped, but no!  So now I am a foster dog, but a good one.  I know the basic commands like sit and come.  I walk great on a leash, am completely house trained, am great with other dogs, and love the little kids.  I do not jump on houseguests, and I am not a counter surfer like most.  I settle down nicely when my humans are watching TV or at the dinner table.  I will go into a crate but don’t like to stay too long.  I will bark until you let me out; but give me a bed and I will stay in it till you are sound asleep, then I will curl up at the end of your bed.  I am very good at only chewing on my dog bones but if you leave your shoes on the floor I will chew on them also.  Keep in mind I still have some puppy in me, and because of that I have not been left in the house alone but I’m not far from being able to do that either.  Good manners, good looking, and smart… you should be able to overlook the fact that I hate my crate and chew up a shoe once in a while!

Ok… I come available very soon and would like to find my forever home with you!  I ride great in the car so come get me.  Now if I can just find that darn phone charger.

Hi everyone - I have been with my foster Mom since the end of July and I love being loved.  I like to be with my foster mom and we hang out all the time.  She lets me sleep on the couch but I spend most of my quiet time on the floor.  I like to cuddle up with her most of all when she gets on the floor with me. I love belly rubs too! I don't bark too often.  I used to be very nervous around new people and used to pee a little bit when people came into the house - but I love to greet people now - no pee!  I don't bark at the doorbell - even when the Fed-X guy comes to the door.  I am quiet - I just want to say hi!  I am housetrained - mostly.  My foster mom is very good at making sure I go outside but I still don't really ask to go.  There is a bell on the door - but I don't know why it is there.  Foster Mom makes it ring before we go out but I just think it's loud.  I am sensitive to loud noises, including voices, and I'm not a fan of sudden movements.  I'm learning to accept the garage.  There was a time when I would not get out of a car when it was in the garage.  My foster mom is working with me and I am now able to get in and out of a car while it is in the garage - but the door needs to be open.   I had heartworm treatment in early August and I am feeling much better now.  I am great walking on a leash and love riding in the car to run errands. I would love to find my forever home with you.

Hey!  Travis here!  I just arrived at my foster home and it has been so much fun!  I used to live in a house but they had to move so I ended up at the shelter. I'm 2 years old and weigh about 56 lbs.  My foster mom says I'm too skinny so I've been eating really well!  I'm going to fatten up but I'm not a tall lab.  I just got, uh hmmm, neutered but I'm already running around and playing with my foster brother who is 3 and my foster skin brothers who are 9 & 10.  I'm still figuring out my foster brother but we do like to play and wrestle outside.  I had a bath and my tail is cool and fluffy now.  I take treats very gently and am not food aggressive even though I am really thin.  I go into my crate really well and they even let me sleep out of it already!  I like to be where the family is and I love to be scratched on the head.  I'm going to hang out with foster family for a while so I can fatten up but I will be ready for my furever home very soon!  Do I sound like a good match for you?

I can’t say enough great things about Rush!  We’ve been together just 2 short weeks and I’m in love and can’t wait for you to meet him!

Rush is 18 months old and has energy to walk and play but also likes to just hang out.  He loves to go for walks and play catch but he also likes to watch TV with you so he’s not hyper like a young lab can be.  Rush knows several commands like sit, shake, place, stay and he walks well on a leash however he needs training on how to greet other dogs while on a walk – he will pull.  Rush gets along great with our 2 dogs and likes people.  He does well in the crate but he does well out of it so he only goes in when no one will be home. 

He’s a little on the skinny side but that’s a lot easier to ‘fix’ then having to lose weight!  Rush has experimented with counter surfing and will peek in the trash to see what’s on top.

Rush and I are going to watch the game now and have some popcorn.  Maybe he’ll be with you next Sunday to watch the game?

Hi I’m Pamela, one of the cutest, lovable puppies you would ever want to meet.  At least that is what I hear my foster family say.  I have been living with my sister, Telma.  I’m still only a few months old and I like to play a lot, and check out new things. Since I can’t use my paws, I use my mouth to investigate stuff and I’m learning that I shouldn’t do that.  I also am trying really hard to use the potty outside, but I’m not perfect at it quite yet.  I do use these pads in the house.  Also I have gotten good at staying in a crate at night and when my foster family has to leave the house. 

I’m haven’t been able to get out into the world much yet, (something about having to get shots), but I’m really curious about all the sights I see when I have been in the car and from my yard.  I like meeting new people that come to the house, and I have barked at the big dog next door.  I just know there is more out there for me.  I would love to find a family who will help me to start having a bunch of new adventures.

Hello! My name is KC and I am your typical Lab puppy. I love to be around my humans, and also love to explore and get into a bit of mischief! My foster mom says my feet are big, I guess that means I will probably get to be pretty big when I am all grown up. I know sit, and listen fairly well for a puppy. I am working on crate training, as well as potty training. They say I am super smart, so I should be easy to train! My favorite thing to do is cuddle with my humans, and I also love to play with other dogs. If you are looking for an adorable black puppy, then I am the boy for you!

Oh, I almost forgot, I LOVE to eat! I will do anything for a treat!

Sperry is very easy to get along with -- he fits right in.  Still walking with a gentle leader, but I think he's ready to try without it. He sleeps through the night, gets along with our Cocker Spaniel mix, and rides well in a car.  I have a teenager, but no younger children.  He likes everyone he meets, and has never been aggressive (although he can be rambunctious).  He will down stay just outside the kitchen while we eat, and stays with me while I work (I work from home).  Main motivation is attention; he craves it and would be easy to train. Would love to be a lap dog -- or at least a couch dog.  He is crate trained.  He can’t wait to finds his forever home!

I know how to sit, stay, sleep on the doggie bed (I don't have to go in a crate, yay!), LOVE my foster sister pups, am learning how to be good on a leash (that darn thing is confusing) and am really starting to like the idea of car rides! I do tend to go on treasure hunts in the house (my favorite find is dirty clothes) and deposit my finding in the living room, but other than that, I keep my shenanigans to a minimum!

My name is Anika but they call me Annie.  I am spunky and sweet and love to be right by your side.  I love to play with my older foster sister and all my toys.  I don’t potty in the house because I learned quickly how to use the dog door.  The crate is not my friend but my foster mom has been working with me on it.  They tell me I am going to be a big girl because my paws are so big.  I’ve got lots of love to offer my new family along with all the typical puppy rambunctiousness!

Chase is a silly boy who loves to play.  He does well with kids, other dogs and shows little interest in the cats.  He loves playing ball and playing in the water hose.   He walks well on the leash, but has been known to pull hard if he sees something he wants so he will need continued work.  He has mastered "Sit", and is pretty good at "Stay".  He loves the crate and often choses to sleep there.  He will enter when asked to do so and stays calm until asked to leave the crate upon our return home.  In addition to ball he enjoys soft toys and playing tug of war.  He rides well in the car and will enter and exit when asked to do so.

Hey… my name is Curt (but my foster family calls me Gunnar.) I am an adorable goofy one year old lab. I have two lab foster brothers and a foster cat. I crate when my foster family is gone but at night I sleep on a pillow in their room (or on the bed if I can sneak up there in the middle of the night!) I know several commands and I can even swim! I am good with kids cause I love to play and just be with people, but I can chill at night and watch TV with my foster parents too. My foster mom says that I make her laugh every day! I am ready to find my forever home. Are you ready for me?

Hi, my name is Rugar! I am a very loved dog whose owner had to give me up due to a busy work schedule. My foster family has loved having me stay with them, and they always tell me that I am the sweetest, most loving dog. I am house trained and gentle, and I get along well with other dogs. I am not crate trained but I'm very trustworthy inside of the house. I LOVE to play, and I would like to live with an active family who could take me on long walks and throw my ball for me. I love to be wherever my people are, and I also enjoying chewing a bone in the living room with the family. I know sit, stay, down and shake, and I love to learn. Thank you for considering me as a part of your family!

Shandy, Shandy, sweet as candy. That’s what foster momma always says. I’m not sure what it means, but she always laughs and gives me an ear rub or a belly scratch when she says it so it makes me smile and wag my tail. I love hanging out in my foster home and when they pet me I just like to wiggle up and snuggle as close as I can. I know my inside manners and I haven’t picked up anything I’m not supposed to. I like to go on walks around the neighborhood right next to my people. Sometimes I pull a little bit on the leash thing, but my foster parents give me a gentle reminder and I am as good as gold. Cats don’t bother me at all. They are pretty boring. My foster pup friends are alright, but I really like having undivided attention from my people. Looking for a best friend? Ask for me, Shandy!! This sweet, petite princess is ready to give all my love and affection to my forever family.

Hi, I’m Catie.  I’m such a happy girl and I’m so glad to meet you.  Life as an inside dog is much better than life as a stray.  I am fed this awesome food twice a day and I don’t even have to hunt for it.  I love sleeping in my kennel at night--it feels so cozy and safe.  

I am very energetic and I love to go on walks.  I’d be a great running companion.  My foster mom says I’m a natural on the leash.  I just need a little more practice.  

I need some basic obedience training and I’m looking forward to bonding with you as we go through training together.  I love playing with my toys and will even play on my own.  I chew on nylabones.  I even got a gold star for not chewing on things that aren’t mine!

My foster mom wants me to go to an experienced home where they can spend one-on-one time with me.  I would do best in a home without cats and without small children.  I’m ready for my furever home and hope you will come and meet me in person soon!

Jezzy, aka Penny, is a sweet little lady.  What she lacks in size is made up in her love for humans.  She wants pets all day and loves to cuddle.  Jezzy did not get along well with her last furry sibling so she joined our family.  She may do best as an only dog.  Jezzy has been very patient with my young children.  During our nightly book time, Jezzy loves to jump into bed with our sons.  She will lay at their feet as they fall asleep.  Jezzy has been known as Penny around our house.  She will respond to either.  She is a very gentle and calm dog.

Trash cans beware though!  Jezzy has been known to attack the evil buckets of trash while we are out of the house.  Besides this easily fixable issue, she does great when left out.  She is very well crate trained.  She will not make a noise and goes into the crate on demand.  With her sweetness comes a but of shyness.  She seems to be afraid of going potty at night when its really dark unless she is by your side on a leash.  When she does have to go she will go to the door.  Jezzy has never had an accident inside.

If you would like a cute little cuddle buddy, Jezzy is your girl. She has a soft touch and will quickly have your heart.

Brooks, like his brother Dunn, is an active, confident and sweet black beauty who is ready to make sweet music with his forever family.

He gets along well with other dogs, children and enjoys car rides!  He is potty trained and does well in his crate overnight.

He’s doing pretty well on not jumping up but will still occasionally be seen checking out the counters to see what’s up there.  He is super friendly and loves being around people.  Although he loves to chase a ball, he’s not great about making it all the way back to you for that next throw without distractions.  And – although he likes to chase down the ball, if the other dogs want it more, he’s happy to let them carry it back.  His tail is a study in perpetual motion!  This is one happy guy….

He would be best with someone that wants a running buddy or will make sure he gets some good exercise daily.  He’s not super needy and able to entertain himself without getting into much trouble at all (as long as you don’t leave something yummy too close to the edge of the countertop!).

Hello!  My name is Bryant and my foster mom says I’m a real sweetheart.  I want to be within three feet of you at ALL times.  If you move, I move!  I don’t really like to be left alone and I need my foster mom to come outside and watch me potty; I won’t go unless she comes out with me.  She says I turn into a Jack Russell Terrier when I go outside by myself because I jump up and down until she comes outside or lets me back in.  It must be funny, because it makes her laugh. 

I’m house broken and crate trained, although, I would much rather be with you than in my crate.  I like to sleep on the floor next to you all night.  I’ll bark for a few minutes when I first go in my crate, but then I settle down pretty quickly.  And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE food!!  I just can’t seem get enough!  I will eat the cat’s food if you’re not watching me closely.  And speaking of cats…my foster mom has a big giant orange cat that’s kind of a bully, so I try and stay away from him.  But there’s also a smaller kitty that likes to play with me a lot.  He’s pretty fun.  He likes to bite my hind legs when I’m eating.  He’s lucky I’m not a horse I guess.  There’s also a tiny little Chihuahua that lives here too.  My foster uncle says she’s not a real dog like me.  She growls at me sometimes, but I don’t let that bother me. 

I love to play fetch and the way I pounce on the ball/toy makes my foster mom laugh.  She says I make her laugh a lot and that’s good, because I love to please!  I get very excited when I see the leash come out of the drawer; that means we’re going somewhere, like a car ride or a walk.  When I ride in the car, I like to be in the front seat with you and I’ll sit in the passenger seat with my head in your lap (remember, no more than three feet from you!).  When we’re out walking, I tend to pull a bit on the leash, but I’m learning to try and not do that as much.  Oh, I can’t forget to tell you that I’m really good with small humans too.  They’re at the perfect height to sneak a kiss!  So, now that you know there’s so much about me to love, won’t you give me a forever home?

Meet Jagger! He is a fun, sweet puppy with basic skills. He can sit on command, walks well on a leash and loves playing with his 2 foster dog brothers. He loves to chew on bones and is a squiggly bundle of joy. He knows how to chase balls and returns them about 50% of the time. He is crate trained but sleeps on a dog bed in the bedroom with his foster mom & dad at night.

Hello my name is Harper, a very sweet female yellow Lab.  You probably wonder how such a good Lab ended up a rescue -  well let's just say I asked for a transfer and thank you, thank you, my wish was granted! If my forever home is as good as my foster home you will never hear me complain. I walked right in, met the resident dogs, walked outside, saw aswimming pool so I took a dip, dried off, came in for dinner and then curled up in a nice soft dog bed and looked up at a big screen TV for four hours. I was then shown my new living quarters, a nice big crate with plenty of bedding so I jumped in for a good night of sleep. Yep, it doesn’t get any better! If I have any bad habits I have not shown them yet. Fact is, my foster said he is keeping me around to mentor his resident Lab and it is usually the other way around. Ok, look for me to come available in a few days.

Looking for a lab that only needs some loving? Please ask for me!

Just in case you are wondering, Goofy was my moniker when I was a puppy. The name just stuck but I have grown up since then. I love to go on walks and if you are a runner I'm sure I'll have no problem keeping up with you. Sometimes I get excited when I see others like me and I pull on the leash a little but I just want to meet everyone. When I get excited I jump but that's mostly when you first come home and I haven't seen you in a while. I'm only telling you that because I wouldn't want to hurt any little humans. My foster mom is teaching me not to do that so much and I am trying.

When it's time to settle down I can do that quite well. I love to be close by you so we can snuggle. You can pet me all you want and scratch me behind the ears. I love that! I would really like someone to be home with me more because I didn't get that much in my previous life. I did go to obedience school and I passed!  I know sit, lay down, and go in the crate. One more thing, I really do not know about those cat thingies. I would chase them all over and maybe hurt one on accident. I would love to meet you.  I have lots of love to give and I know we'd have lots of fun together.

Hi, my name is August.  I'm a young, yellow boy.  My foster mom says my fur is really soft and on the longer side.  I was found as a stray but mom says I'm really good.  I had a couple of accidents but that's only because they did not know my cues.  Now they do!   I enjoy playing with other dogs and I love the water hose!!  I get bored so I need a home that has a lot of moving parts.  The best home might include another dog buddy to play with or a few kids to throw the ball for me to chase or to chase me!!

Hi!  My name is Moogan!  I am energetic and very people- and dog-friendly.  My foster parents have no idea why a love bug like me would end up in a shelter. 

I don’t think I’ve had much training in my last home.  My foster parents are working on my basic obedience, but I am housebroken.  So far, I haven’t chewed on anything that I am not supposed to in my foster home.  I am almost crate-trained, I will go into my crate willingly (with treats), but I do whine for a few minutes before settling down.  I sleep in my crate through the night with no problem.

My foster parents want me to go to a home without little kids because I am still a big puppy and I can easily knock a little one down out of excitement.  I am smart, confident, very food-motivated, and environmentally-stable.  My foster parents say that I am a diamond in the rough, once polished, will be the best companion ever! 

Here's a video of me in training!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql8LSWRbgmw

Hello to my future family! I am a loving, gentle yellow female. My foster family just adores me. They love my warm, kind eyes and my calm, sweet personality. I am three years old, completely house trained and only pick up dog toys or tennis balls. I love playing fetch and I will come back to you immediately. I get along very well with my 8 year old foster sister, a black lab. My foster mom said she usually ignores other foster dogs, but she loves me and we play and sometimes snuggle. I also do well with children. My foster parent’s couldn’t believe how amazing I am on a leash! I walk well and I am the perfect running companion. If I see a neighborhood cat, squirrel or dog, I will pull, but redirection works well.

My first night at my foster home I slept in a crate. My foster mom kept getting up to check if I was ok because I didn’t make a peep. I have gained their trust through perfect behavior and now I sleep on a dog bed in their room and I even have full range of the house. If I close my eyes and imagine my perfect family, they are the kind of people who realize I make a house a home. I want to be your companion while gardening, cooking in the kitchen, vacations, reading a good book or car rides. I haven’t tried swimming with my foster family, but if you’re very patient and don’t force me in, I bet I will like it. I will lie next to you in your office if you work from home. I will cuddle with you if you’re feeling sad or just need a friend. All I ask in return is that you love me as much as I’ll love you.

Hey there. Elvis here!!!!!  Boy am I thankful the kind folks at DFW Lab Rescue performed a JAILHOUSE ROCK and got me out of the clink.  I was ALL SHOOK UP out on the streets.  They came in and asked ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT and boom I was in a car headed for my new life! 

I’ve been having a great time with my foster family.  I have a foster brother and we really love to play.  My foster Mom says I am just a big TEDDY BEAR because I love to cuddle.  But I also love to PLAY!!!!!!  I overheard her say I need some “Puppy 101 Training”.  I’m not sure what that is but it sounds pretty fun.  Hopefully we get to go in the car to get to it because I love a car ride.  If there are treats involved that would be great too.  Being out on the streets it’s hard to find a good meal.  I know where to go potty and I’m fine with a crate.  My foster Mom lets me sleep on the floor in my dog bed at night next to her. I sure do like this.  I’m really excited to get to meet everyone.

IT’S NOW OR NEVER to find a forever family that will LOVE ME TENDER.  OHH Gotta run! I hear Mom making a peanut butter and banana sandwich!!!!! WOOF!

Hi!  I'm adorable, yellow and full of quick movements just like my namesake!  But don't worry, I'm not a rodent and certainly don't overwhelm my opponents with powerful shocks like that other Pikachu!  In fact, I wouldn't know what an opponent was if it stared at me in the face!  I love everything & everyone I meet, and it's definitely reciprocal!

My foster family says I'm one of the sweetest  yellow lab puppies they've ever met— and they should know, they've foster-failed two!  I'm your typical, energetic puppy, but, apparently, I sleep like a dream too.  I adore my crate & go into it at night without a problem!  My foster Mom says she wishes her kids were just like me!

I get along with kids, babies, and even some ornery labs that have come my way!  My foster family says they need to find me an awesome home soon, or they'll end up foster failing me too!!

Hi, my name is Dwyer and I'm a 1.5 year old black male.  I am the sweetest boy who loves to be petted by everyone I meet.  I am good with cats and other dogs.  I rarely jump up on people only when I get super excited.  I love being an inside dog but I also love to go on walks around the neighborhood.  I am very well behaved, I don't chew on anything that isn't mine and I haven't touched any of the furniture in my foster moms house!  I am also crate trained.  I like my crate but I love to be with people as much as possible.  I also know never to potty in the house and I haven't had one accident so my foster mom says I am very well potty trained!

I am a sweet boy who wants to be loved all the time.  I love attention and belly rubs and can't wait to meet my new family!  My loving personality will make me a great companion!

Hi, Stanley reporting in!  Do you happen to have another dog that would play with me?  If not, I could help you oor older kids stay fit with regular walks or runs!  I'm a goofy young boy who would also do very well at a dog park or even doggie day care.  Heck, if you have butterflies in your backyard I could entertain myself!

When you need a little downtime, I am very calm and quiet in my crate, especially if I’ve had a good romp first.  I'm learning to hang out or take a nap while you are on that darned computer again or watching TV.  Those stuffed Kongs are a welcomed touch too.  I sleep throughout the night and without a peep I might add.  Could be I don’t need to sleep in the crate but foster mom doesn’t want to sleep with one eye open … go figure.  I’m still learning about “approved toys”.  I’m an inquisitive boy and this is confusing but I’m catching on fast!

I’m sweet and give kisses generously, if you like.  I'm good on a leash and am working toward walking with a loose leash.  I will just get better with guidance.  I’m just a big puppy really I would love to seal our bond with a common language through basic training.  I can be bribed!

My foster smiles cuz I’m just so darn cute and sweet.  She calls me her freckled face boy and I remind her of Alfred E. Neuman even though she did not read MAD magazine.  “What, Me Worry?”  Nah, I’m just a happy-go-lucky pup and my people are coming to get me.  Could it be you?  Ask for Stanley!

Hello out there my name is Sherry. I have been with my foster mom now about 2 weeks. She says I am the sweetest dog she has ever known! I am very easy going and get along with everybody including kids of all ages, other dogs and love to sit outside with my foster mom and watch the canal and nature all around me. I like to ride in the car and love to go for walks and am very nice to walk. I am very trustworthy in the house and housetrained. I have a big crate with the side up so I can lay in there whenever I want.

I do have a medical issue, but it doesn't bother me much. When I was a pup the vet thinks I injured the muscles in my rear legs. My owner didn't have repairs made so my walk is a little unusual. The vet told my mom I have some arthritis in my knees. So I take some joint supplements (always will) and for 1 month an anti-inflammatory. I need to build my muscles up again in my rear legs. I don't like climbing lots of stairs. So I'm hoping for a one story house so I can follow you everywhere.

I love to bring mom my furry toy for her to throw and I bring it back to her. I shake hands too. I like to swim foster mom thinks since the canal looks very inviting! I'm looking for a home with lots of love and I will be your faithful companion. If kids live there or grandkids visit, I would really like that! If I sound like the girl for you, have your people call my people! Oh did I mention people tell me I am beautiful?

My name is Wendy and I am a very laid back lady that is very happy to be around people or other dogs.  I have perfect manners and am house trained but really don’t much like to be on my own so I would like a home with people around most of the time or another older dog for company.

I am very easy going, gentle and good in the car but a little nervous.  I really enjoy walks but am not super energetic.

Marco is a really good dog that spent most of his youth in a cage, waiting for someone to play with him.  As a result, he's a little "over friendly" with simple youth and exuberance issues that improve daily.  Marco tends to want to jump and get excited with new people, but knows how to sit and is getting better at relaxing quicker and being less "in everyone's face".  Basically, he just wants you to know he's there and you have a chance to love him as much as he obviously loves you!  

Other dogs are no problem for Marco and he loves children.  We walk every morning and he is friendly (and even somewhat calm) when we meet kids on the way to the nearby elementary school.  That being said, he is a tall lab and can be intimidating.  As a result, he has gotten a little rough with smaller dogs but he backs off quickly and is really good at doggie apologies - to the point that they come back for more!

Marco is an very good walker!  He loves being next to you, so this works really well on a walk.  He's potty trained and crate trained and can be trusted overnight outside the crate and to be left alone for short periods of time.  I would not recommend leaving him alone for long periods of time as he has occasionally been caught on counter surfing expeditions (he's still a growing boy) but that behavior is almost gone.  He also get’s a little bored.

This is a dog that loves to play fetch with toys & balls.  He also loves the pool to cool off or to just be near you. If you are there - he's ready for a swim too!  He would be great with someone who can run/walk him daily and with a couple of kids for him to bond with.

Marco will be a wonderful family dog.  It will take a few guidelines and a couple of weeks of patience as he learns and trusts how much you adore him!

Squirtle is one of the "Pokemon" puppies and here is what he has to say:

I consider myself to be a spunky puppy, after all, they call me Squirtle!   I like to play with the big boys.  Occasionally, they get a little to rough, only because I'm so small, so I might make a high pitch squeal to scare them off.  If that doesn't work, I'll try to find something I can hide under so they can't get me or if foster mom is around, I just look up at her with my big round eyes and she'll pick me up.  Foster mom thinks I eat my food slow so that I can taunt my foster brothers, August & Max.  They like to finish their food fast and then come to my crate and watch me finish mine. I think, they would let me share my food if they could get in.

I don't mind the crate, sometimes it's a great way to get a good nap.  At night, I like to sleep in the crate (sometimes with the doors open) and sometimes I like to sleep on the bed with a pillow to prop up on.  Mom takes me outside often so I don't potty inside, she said I must be a fast learner because no accidents.  I'm looking for a Furever home that will love me, for ME, big or small!!

It’s me Adrian aka. Luke as in “Cool Hand Luke”. Why you ask? Because I am as cool as they come. I was stuck in the shelter with little hope and heartworms. DFW Lab Rescue scooped me up and since then I have been learning about how nice people can be and how awesome air conditioning is!!! It was so hot out there on the mean streets and now I’m living the good life….comfy dog bed, a full tummy, and best of all lots and lots of love and ear scratches. I’m not too sure about toys or that big cement pond. Right now I’m just enjoying relaxing and hanging out with my foster parents. I don’t mind the cat and my foster pup siblings are alright too. People are my favorite though. My foster momma thinks I would make a great therapy dog. She says I am gentle and I have the sweetest smile, and one more thing…I have not barked the entire time in my foster home. I just make some happy groans when I am extra comfy. My life is just about perfect except for one thing….my foster parents told me that my real family is looking for me!!

I can’t wait to meet him or her or them!! I don’t care. I will love them because they are family.

Margaery is a six year old chocolate girl.  She's a sweet and loving girl that can be active and she will also lay down next to you on the couch. She will chase squirrels or anything else that moves in the yard. She's good on walks (but she is strong) and she's always ready to jump in the car and go for a ride. 

She would do best in a home as an only dog, as she loves to be with people.  She doesn’t care for small animals, including cats.  She also alerts you when she hears the doorbell and any noise outside and makes a good watchdog! 

If you are looking for a sweet companion to shower you with love and devotion, she’s your girl!

Meet lovely Luna!  She is a happy, sweet and loving girl who is ready for her family to come and get her.  Luna is young and healthy with a beautiful black coat, long legs and a tail that is always wagging!  When we’re home, she hangs out with us, ensures we know if there is a squirrel in the yard or when the mail is delivered.  The Lab Security System is working well!  Luna loves going for walks and does well on a leash and she also rides well in the car.  She gets along great with other dogs especially if they want to play a game of chase because with her long legs, the chasee doesn’t have a chance!  She’s very friendly with all people as well.  Luna would do best in a house without cats.  At two years old, her energy level is high but she also settles down and will watch the ballgame on TV with you.  Luna will go into a crate if you need her to however we’ve left her out while we’re gone for several hours and she’s done fine.  Whatever you want to do, Luna is game for it!  She’ll be your buddy wherever you want to go and do…or not do.

Hi!  My name is Dominique.  My foster mom says I'm the sweetest girl you're ever going to meet.  I'm very laid back and just want to hang with my people.  I walk well on a leash and am good in a crate.  I also get along with other dogs.  I don't know why I would want to but, if motivated, you should know I'm a good jumper!  I need a bit of exercise so it's a good thing that I enjoy walks.

Hi everybody!  My name is Lucroy but you can call me Luke!  Aren't I a handsome fella?  I'm about ten months old and an expert cuddler!  My foster mom isn't sure where I'm from, but she picked up from the vet where I was neutered and treated for fleas and ticks.  I'm a little bit underweight at 40 pounds but I'm eating lots of good food and am starting to fill out nicely.

I get along great with other dogs and my foster sister is teaching me all about things like "boundaries" and "manners".  She's an older gal so maybe she's just sensitive?  Either way, I love to play and am happy to be around her!  I love toys and bones and my favorite game is to pull all of the toys out of the basket and watch my foster mom put them back at the end of the day.  Because I'm still a puppy, I'm a little mouthy so having bones around really helps me have something to do.

I am also crate trained and house trained!  After a little while in the crate I get impatient though and will bark to let you know I'm ready for you to come home.  So far I have been very trustworthy out in the house when my mom leaves and at night (except for a passing interest in the toilet paper).  My leash manners are also coming along nicely.

Overall I'm an awesome little guy and will make a great addition to your family.  If you want a sweet, cuddly guy then I am the dog for you!

Hello possible forever home. I would like to introduce myself. I am the fabulous Olivette but my foster parents call me Livvie. I am a beautiful black lab and I think I may be around 3 years old.

I have had puppies at some point in my life but those days are behind me. I am working on regaining my girlish figure (I mean a girl gains weight when they have babies right?) I am healthy and happy and my foster lab brothers are teaching my all of the fun stuff about being a lab. I have learned to swim, love the cat, and to snuggle with my foster parents (and give a few kisses too!) I am potty trained, crate trained and am learning some tricks.

Sadly I do have one small issue, my feet are big and they slide on the tile floors. My foster parents think that I could steal 2^nd base for the Rangers because of my ability to slide into furniture, other dogs, humans and anything else than might be in my way. They just yell “SAFE” as I finish my slide and all is good. I think that is me in a paragraph or two (or three.) I will be available the end of August so let the good people at DFW Lab Rescue know if you think I may be the perfect dog for you!

Hi there!  My name is Rio but my foster mom calls me Ree and tells me that I’m a little love bug. . . whatever that means!  I like to play with my older Lab sister but she isn’t that much fun!  Cats and squirrels are fun too. . . but only to catch!  I love to meet new people but I get so excited that I jump up and give lots of kisses and wrap my paws around them and give hugs!  I love to go on walks and I’m still learning all the ins and outs of being on a leash but I’m getting really good at it!  My foster mom says that I’m eager to please. . . I’ll do anything for some love and attention!

I’m one of those lucky girls who can afford to put on some weight!  I’m not protective of my food and will take my treats gently out of my foster mom’s fingers.  I’m housebroken and I like sleeping in my crate at night but if I go into my crate during the day and someone is home. . . I let them know that I’m not happy being locked up!  I want to be around my people!

I’m a sweet girl who is just looking for that right family to shower me with lots of love and attention and I’ll be a perfect partner!!

Lindsey is a 3 year old yellow Lab. She is the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet.  Lindsey likes kids, dogs, and cats.  She loves water, kiddy pools, water in bowls, water in pitchers, soft treats, to be around others, tennis balls, walks, and to lay near you or where your family is most often (her favorite thing). She has learned simple commands in the short time with us.  She knows sit, paw, her name; she is potty trained, and crate trained.

If she is loose when you are not home, she does not tear anything up but does look for food. She can be trusted at night to be good.

She has learned to be in a crate, though we reinforce it to make sure she cannot get out. She is eating well on a schedule and is much less anxious about food.  She does jump when excited with strangers but is good and just wants to kiss. For this reason I would be watchful of toddlers.

She is resting from heartworm treatment, and will be available after that is completed in a few weeks.  She is totally worth the wait if you are looking for a sweet, friendly new furry family member!

Hi my name is Huey. I have lived with my foster family for the last couple of weeks and I have got to tell you it has been an adventure. I had been staying outside during the day and sleeping in a garage at night, so getting to live in a house has been awesome!!!

I have had to adjust to some rules, but I’m trying really hard to be good. I never potty in the house, and I’ll go in a crate when they leave, even though I let them know I don’t like it. If I get a treat I’m more willing to spend time in the crate. I used to get nervous when they left me and tried to tell them, but since they always return, I have realized that I don’t have to get so uptight.

Since I am new to living inside a house, I like to peak at what is on counters, in drawers, in pantrys, and other new places I haven’t explored yet. Just recently I tried to “play” with my foster mom’s shoes and that didn’t go over very well. I guess I’d better stick to chewing on my own toys. My foster family bought me a bunch of different toys and finally figured out that I need some heavy duty toys that I won’t destroy quickly.

The best toy of all is this big hole in the backyard filled with water. I LOVE playing in it. With the hot weather around here, it is sure nice to get exercise and stay cool at the same time. I have been taken on a lot of walks, and my foster mom has been working with me so I will stay calm when I meet new people. I just get so excited because I haven’t spent a lot of time around other people, dogs and cats. I never really liked cats anyway!  I’m getting better with people, but I still need to learn how to meet other dogs without getting too excited. I hope that my forever family will continue to help me learn how to get to know other dogs, because I'm very smart and I want to learn.

Probably the best part of getting to live in the house is that I get to be close to my foster family. There are two girls here that really like to cuddle with me. I really like it too!!! I hope that my forever family is ready for some cuddle time also.

I recently learned how to swim and I love fetching the ball in water and in the yard!  I have a lot of energy, so I would love a big pack where at least one of them stays home.  I am kind of shy at first with new people and animals but I quickly warm up.

Gauge is a big, lovable chocolate boy with a lot of energy!  He’s a healthy twice a day eater who also enjoys kibble and chew toy treats during the day.

Gauge is still a puppy and can be curious about other’s food or items on the counter at times.  However, when supervised he does very well. He’s very agile and speedy when playing fetch.  He enjoys fetch in the yard and walks on a leash several times per day.  Without a doubt, I’m sure a pool or lake would be his favorite.  Gauge requires a variety of large, durable chew toys as any young Lab would!

He sleeps on the floor in a comfortable dog bed while he has several bedding option areas during the day either in the bedroom and/or living room.  He prefers a comfortable blanket and a couple of chew toys while in his crate.  A crate next to your bed may be the best option for the first couple of nights until he becomes comfortable with his surroundings.

Gauge will easily adapt into a warm, comforting home.  He is extremely lovable and a joy to be around.  He will be missed; but I’m confident he will make a great new member to a high energy and loving family!

Hi all, Norris here! I know that many of you have been watching and waiting for my handsome self to become available. Well the time is here!! My heartworm treatment is finally complete. My cough has gone away and my silly ear infection is under control. All this time I have been hanging out in my foster home gaining some weight and playing with my foster sister Patsy. I already knew how to walk on a leash, sit, kennel and all that easy stuff. Love the dog door but no worries, if there's not one, I can wake you up to go outside. The only bummer has been that my foster mom doesn't let me sleep on the bed and I think I did that before. Love this car ride stuff as long as we are going somewhere fun.

I'm a calm happy guy. I'm great in the house, I love other dogs and really like playing with this silly boxer puppy in the neighborhood. I'm not much on chasing the ball on land; it's too hot and Patsy is much faster than I am.  However, I am a ball fetching Olympian in the water!

I'm looking forward to meeting my potential family soon and ready to move into my forever home.

Hi, my name is Iris!  I am a sweet and gentle chocolate girl.  My foster mom says that I'm an absolute sweetheart.  I love everyone I meet, but I do get excited with new friends and will jump up at first (but I am working on it!).  I love to be wherever my foster family is, and I am happy to lay on my blanket and chew on a bone.  I don't jump up on furniture and I learned the rules of the house very quickly.  I know how to "sit," and I'm working on my other commands.  I am very eager to please and will do just about anything if you scratch behind my ears.  I am house trained and crate trained. I would be a great family dog.  Thank you for considering me for adoption!

Hello…my name is Hasbro!  I have had a really tough time lately, my family moved away and left me sick and alone. A kindly neighbor took me in but couldn’t care for me.  DFW Lab Rescue stepped in and took care of me.  They treated me for my heartworms..yuck, updated all my vaccines and then I had to have surgery for a little snip….ouch!  They found me a nice family to take care of me while I recover from all of the above.

I am a super kind smallish Chocolate boy.  I only weigh 60 pounds so will need a little fattening up…but just a little.  I get along well with other dogs because I have 2 foster Labs to follow around now.  I saw kittens at the Vet office and they were so cute I just wanted to play with them.  I know a few commands but we are working on sit which I do but staying still needs some work.  I don’t mind being on a leash and I don’t pull unless I really have to go potty!  I am completed home broken and trustworthy in the house but I will go in my crate if I have to.  I love to play fetch and take walks.

I am ready for my forever family!  I am looking for a family to love me, snuggle with me, and take really good care of me.  Did I mention I am super sweet?  Do you love chocolate?  Do you like to snuggle?  Ask for me by name….Hasbro…yup that’s me!

Hi! My name is Becca! I cannot wait to meet my forever family. I LOVE to play.. all day, everyday.. with my foster parents and my foster pups! My foster mom says I have more energy than anyone in the house, but she also says it makes me super adorable. I love to wrestle and run around outside, but I also love to cuddle up on the couch at the end of a long play day. I am not sure how I feel about this big box called a "car".. It kind of scares me. But I love to go on adventure walks around the neighborhood. My foster mom is still working on teaching me where is the right place to potty, but I think I am catching on to it. I promise I will bring lots of energy, love and puppy kisses into your home!

Rumer is a sweet 1.5 year old black lab.  She loves to be loved on and will lay contently at your feet.  She has learned the 'sit' command in the short time she has been with us. She walks well on a leash and is really a people person.  She is also house broken.

She has not interacted too much with her lab mix foster brother, but is slowly warming up to him.  She does not like to be alone, and would benefit by having another dog to hang out with.  She would love to have someone who is willing to work with her to feel secure and loved and she will learn that her people will not abandon her.

Rumer loves attention so be prepared for lots of petting of this lovely little lady!

Hi there!!  My name is Boomer.  My foster momma thinks I have a lot in common with Pooh Bear.  I am a big yellow friendly bundle of positive thinking that always has a rumbly in my tumbly.  I am mostly deaf, but I don’t startle easily.  If you want my attention, just clap your hands a few times and I will come as quickly as I can ! I love my evening walks, even though I have a bit of a limp.  I would love a morning stroll too, but foster momma can be a sleepy head.  Not too far or too fast mind you, but I do love to stroll around and see all the interesting people and smell the flowers.  I especially love kids!  They make me smile.

I do my business outside, don’t touch things that aren’t mine (unless you leave a cookie too close to the edge of the counter), and am trustworthy in the house.  I will go in a crate if you would like, but I would be just as happy to hang out and take a nap until you get home.  To sum it up…I am just a great guy.

“We'll be Friends Forever, won't we, Pooh?; asked Piglet.

Even longer, Pooh answered.”

Boomer is looking for his Piglet.
