Hi, I’m Minny. One day I was just hanging out in a shelter and the next thing I know I was living with a foster family; Mom, Dad, two sisters, and one four legged brother. During the time that I have spent with them I have been showing them how good I am. I have taken a bath, gone on walks, road in a car, played with my new lab friend. I hung out in a crate (even slept in it at night) and snuggled on the couch with my foster family. I have good manners and want to please my “people”.

Sometimes I get excited and jump up when I see new people and when I get my food, but my foster family is showing me that staying calm is a better way to behave. I’m also learning that I don’t have to bark at strange things around me but everything around me is so new right now that I want to tell everyone.

Thank you for checking me out. Hopefully I’ll meet my forever family soon - maybe that's you?

Estella is a sweet girl who loves to be petted and loved on all day long. She is an adorable hunk of chocolate love and has settled right in.  She is a great eater and loves her treats but is too polite to beg.

She loves to be around people and is great with kids and new people - quite the lady she doesn’t jump or grump!  Estella just hangs out wherever the family is. She is great with boundaries and, with certain rooms, will wait to be invited in.

She loves to play fetch and loves her walks so much that occasionally will get excited and speed up her pace. She rides well in the back of the car and doesn’t bark or growl when left while we step out for errands. Estella is crate trained but prefers lounging on her bed, the rug or the sofa.

She would be a great addition to a busy family or a great companion to a single person as well!

Khloe has lived with children and in an apartment in her prior life. She loves going for walks, though will pull a little initially but settles quickly into a nice pace. Sweet Khloe is unfortunately 25-30 pounds overweight. Her perfect new life would include daily exercise either walking or swimming. We are on a diet with a daily walking routine to get her new life off to the best possible start. Khloe loves attention, while happily sitting near us to be loved on while we are watching TV.

Did I mention she loves car rides? If you think you can help Khloe get back in shape and are willing to be her best forever home, please reach out to adoptions and let us know you are interested in her. As her foster mom, I think she’s perfect. The quintessential Labrador

Hi everyone, Bauer here.  Do you like to play ball, snuggle, take walks…..well so do I! I’m your typical puppy who love's everyone I meet. I am good with other dogs but like my alone time where I get lots of chew toys. I have never chewed on anything I was not suppose to. I’m really good at entertaining myself with toys and just being in the same room as my human. There is a cat in the house but I haven’t figured him out yet. I try to play with him and want to chase him but he just hisses at me so I dont stick around long.

This is what my Foster Mom has to say about me…. Bauer is one of the sweetest and happiest puppies and loves to be where you are. When tired, he loves to snuggle up on the couch with you. He is working on potty training, and every day he improves. He sleeps through the night and does well in his crate. He will let you know he is not happy but will settle down after a few minutes. He does like to jump up , so if you have young kids that have not been around big dogs, he may not be the best fit. He is still working on his potty training,  so he will do best in a home where you are not gone more than 4-5 hrs each day.  He and my 5.5 yr lab play non stop.  If you have an older dog or a dog who doesnt want to play,  Bauer may not be the best addition to your household. Bauer will be available soon so if he sounds like the puppy for you, get him on your want list.

Attention all applicants!!

If you are looking for a silly, sweet, social butterfly, I would like to formally introduce myself. Benn is my name and snuggling is my game. If you don’t like to be showered with extreme affection, please do not ask for me! I love to play with my lab foster brothers and I would love to chase the cat, but foster momma says I can’t so I am trying to be good and I always do my business outside.

Please remember, I’m a young pup, so I have lots of energy and sometimes my foster folks have to remind me what I can and can’t do. I’m a fast learner. I love all toys and they have this super awesome wiggly ball that they said I could take to my forever home and that makes me very happy. It makes my foster folks smile and laugh to watch me play with it and that makes me happy too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-LStnLZc6Y

Ever since DFW Lab Rescue noticed my greatness and brought me into the group, I have been a pretty lucky, happy guy! The only thing I need now is a forever family of my very own that will love me and that I can love back. See you soon forever family!!!

This sweet boy will not stay long because he’s so fantastic!!! Though Barlie is technically still a puppy, he is actually a very calm and mellow dude. Barlie’s favorite thing is to snuggle with you on the couch so if you’re in the market for a Netflix binging partner this guy is for you! Barlie is potty and crate trained and is fine in the kennel the whole day while you are at work. He just learned “sit” and is pretty good at it now! Barlie will need some work walking on leash as that is a new experience for him. He does ok in the car but is very nervous as he has never been in cars before. 

Barlie is a snuggle buddy who definitely loves being around his family and playing with his foster dog brothers and sisters. If you’re looking for a young, fairly mellow cuddle buddy this is your lab!

Archer is a boisterous and bountiful young pup. Even though he is baby puppy stage, he has a lot of energy and loves to run around and be outside. His favorite game is tug-o-war, and he does a great job at retrieving. His foster parents are gone for work during the day, so he is both crate trained and potty trained. He gets along well with other dogs and cats. He hasn't chewed anything except his toys and he does not counter surf, but he does jump some when he gets excited. He knows that it is a bad habit, so he is trying to fix it. 

Archer LOVES attention. He likes to be within arms length or close by for ample pet time. At night, he loves to cuddle in bed right next to you. His behaviors, personality, and features are all Labrador!! Archer is looking for a furever home with someone who will spend some time working with him on becoming the best dog he can be!

Hello, my name is Sweet Sally, name just about says it all. I am one very sweet little girl. I am very good with my foster dogs I live with, I am sweet with the little kids that come to play with me, fact I like all humans. I am good about sleeping in my crate at night, I never make a sound. I sit and lay down on command and take treats very gently. I am 100% house trained and settle down nicely in the house. I stay very close to my human fosters, if they move then so do I. 

Now don’t forget I am still a puppy, I will grab the dish towel off the counter and run off with them but when I hear no, I know what that means, I am very remorseful. While I'm not quite perfect, I'm pretty darned good for a girl my age. I am healthy and ready for my next step in finding my way to my forever home. I like belly rubs and love to give kisses, hope to find a family that will give me that kind of love back.

Hans is a very loving boy, that gets along well with other dogs who loves to play. For a young boy he is fantastic on a leash, relaxed on car rides, and great in his crate. Han’s is house trained and stands by the door when he wants to go out. At the end of his ruff days, he loves to cuddle up with him human. Han’s would be best suited in a home with a large yard, where he can run all that puppy energy out. He has a small case of separation anxiety, so he would thrive in a family that is home a lot. Overall Han’s is a great dog and with the right training and time he will become the best companion a human could ask for.

He knows how to sit and “drop” if he puts something in his mouth that he’s not supposed to eat, like landscape bark. He goes in the crate if we leave for a bit and he really loves sleeping on a cushion next to the bed. He would be a lovely addition to any family. He's a gem!

List of things Ruby Rose, the radiant foster, has accomplished in the 24 hours she’s been with us: 1) received belly scratches from the neighbor upon arrival. 2) Met, and charmed, the dog walker. 3) Chewed on both her foster brothers. 4) Proven what an amazingly good girl she is by letting us know when she has to potty and eaten her dinner like a lady. 5) Played fetch until both she and one of her foster brothers were so wiped out they slept through the night like champs. 6) COMPLETELY stolen our hearts.

Ruby truly has the sweetest personality ever. She goes from energetic puppy to cuddly love bug in the span of 30 seconds. We are looking forward to learning her characteristics more and getting her ready for her forever family!

Hello humans big and small, I’m Jolley! They asked me to write up a personal profile so perspective adopters could get to know me but I didn’t realize how hard it would be to summarize all my amazing qualities. How do you tell the world how super soft my coat is. Sometimes it looks chocolate and sometimes (some say most of the time) it really is more black! Honestly, who cares because I’m the biggest snuggly bug that ever snuggled?!  And remember - my coat is so amazingly soft!!!  Not to mention I’m totally house broken and take treats out of your hand like a well-mannered gentleman. No gobbling or over excitement from this young man, no sir!

While I’m listing my amazing traits, I can’t neglect to mention I’m good in my crate. Don’t let a few minutes of mild whining fool you. I dig my personal space but am so well behaved that my foster Mom trusts me to sleep in my own bed right next to her all night. How cool is that??

Toys…boy oh boy….did I mention I love my toys and playing fetch, ‘cause I really really do. I’m young and energetic and don't destry them but will definitely do well with continued guidance on what you consider a “good chew”.  I’m smart and eager to please so I’m sure I won’t have a problem learning your house rules. Do you have toys, because I don’t know if I mentioned it, but I LOVE toys!

I’m Barbie, a typical  female black lab puppy with really, really soft fur. I'm learning the ropes - like I've pretty much mastered potty training but still need to be reminded that I may need to go out. I like to play with my foster brother and other dogs and toys. I am learning to chase and retrieve balls and I like to pounce around quite a bit (they say it's super cute).

I like snuggling with my human mom and giving kisses and I really enjoy food too!  My foster mom says I am easy to train since I'm food motivated. I have learned sit and am improving on my leash walking. I do need some work on my water drinking (they say I'm very enthusiastic in my drinking) which sometimes makes a little mess! But life is meant to be filled with enthusiasm and with a little discipline, consistency and patience and I know I will make a great member of your family.

FYI - if you have a doggie door I already know how to use it.

Tuck is a very sweet boy so sometimes seems much younger than three. He loves people and loves to go on walks. When he is with just us, he can be calm, but he gets rowdy whenever someone new comes to see us. Tuck just loves people!

He spent Christmas with another dog and had the best time playing with toys and playing a dog favorite game - I want your toy! I think Tuck would be great with another fun loving, sweet & toy sharing dog or as an only dog. We love Tuck and his sweet and wonderful personality.  He would love nothing more than a fun and active family of his own for the new year to follow all over the place and just hang out with.

Bear Bear is an inquisitive and cuddly young boy. He loves to run and play with his foster family, and he is a big fan of anything that squeaks. Bear Bear was found with his sister as a stray on the streets. He stays just fine in a crate while his foster parents are away for work during the day, and he is fully house broken. No accidents here!  He LOVES to cuddle. At night, he wants nothing more than to sleep near you, and during other down time he is snoozing not too far away.

Bear Bear loves playing with toys and they should be the "indestructable" kind as he does enjoy dismantling the plush ones like many a self respecting Lab will do. He gets along well with his dog and cat roommates.  He is still a little underweight for his size so he will need plenty of groceries to get him to a healthy weight. He is highly motivated by food, which makes him easily trainable.  For now, he should be fed separately from other dogs as he is still learning that he will get enough food now that he has responsible humans that will provide for him from now on.

We like do say he's so nice, they named him twice!  Bear Bear is really a sweet and gentle love bug who would make any family very happy!

Hello! My name is Emilee! I’m a youthful, 52 lb., sweet female. I’ve been told by my foster mom that I am at the perfect age for a lab. I have the right amount of energy and playfulness, but I can also be calm and chill out with my family. I conquered potty training long ago and can sleep in my crate all night without a compliant. I am a little shy though. I wasn’t treated very nicely by my previous owners. They didn’t feed me very much and somehow, I ended up loose on the street. I’m not sure how long I was homeless, but I got even skinnier during that time. I was found by Animal Services and surrendered by my previous owners. They didn’t want me anymore. Thankfully DFW Lab Rescue came to the rescue and picked me up to start me on my journey to the sweet life. Now I can find a new loving home and start living my best life!

From Emilee’s Foster Mom-

Emilee is a sweet, shy girl. She is very timid but starting to come out of her shell the more she trusts us. Her new family will need to continue to make her feel loved and secure so she can become less shy. It will just take time and love. She had a hard life before so loud noises and quick movements can scare her. But again, she will adapt the more secure she feels. I have already seen a huge improvement after only one week. Because of the shyness ,she will do best with kids over 10 years old. She gets along with other dogs and rarely barks. She is also working on her leash skills and should be a great dog for long walks. She is potty trained and sleeps in a crate every night. This girl deserves the best and will be a wonderful addition to any family!

Miaa started out her life living in an apartment. Like many young pups she recieved little training and spent a lot of time in a kennel. When she arrived in this foster home it was obvious that she needed proper socialization. Some would confuse her type of lunging play as aggressive, but Miaa is not that way at all. My dogs quickly told her to keep that behavior in check and she has.  Miaa knows how to use a doggie door and is great in the house.

While Miaa has energy it is good energy. Miaa can play and run and be a happy pup, then she is happy to take a nap and hang out after an opportunity to expend that energy. So what does Miaa need in her new home? She needs an adopter that is dedicated to taking her to training. She wants to be the best companion you could ask for and needs to learn to communicate with her owner. Miaa still needs leash work as other dogs excite her and she wants to
meet everyone which results in improper lunging and barking. We are working on that but she will need more work in her new home.

Miaa loves to run in the yard and having some space to do so would be best. Miaa loves other dogs, so living with another near her age that will play with her and keep her company would be perfect. Miaa needs an adopter that wants her company. Miaa loves to follow us around the yard and investigate everything we are doing. As for cats, well probably not the best idea since she loves to chase squirrels and any small creatures that want to run. If Miaa sounds like a pup that would fit in your household please contact adoptions and add her to your want list.

Meet Lil’ Richie! He is a cute, sweet, black male lab mix and puppy of Marion. Marion is a small black lab, probably around 45 lbs. Richie is currently 7 lbs and will probably remain on the small side. Don’t let that fool you! This adorable guy has the cutest personality and is fun and very playful. My grandkids, ages 2 and 5, just adore holding and cuddling with him. My two 4-year old DFW Lab rescues are indifferent to him but he loves to chase them in and out the door and around the house. This little guy would be a great addition to a family in an apartment or house with small yard as well as a large yard! I have not heard him bark once. He does complain when he needs to go out. He runs straight to the yard and does his business. He is a quick learner!

Richie is good with other dogs, young kids and cats! Richie would like nothing better than to have a new home for the first of the year and a family to adore him and that he can love for a very long time! Let us know if you would like to meet Richie!

Sunflower has been with me a few weeks now and continues to come out of her shell and thrive. She is a joy to have around! Loves her foster brothers, loves swimming in the pool (especially when it’s time to come inside and foster Mom needs her dry).

She loves to play fetch and has quickly figured out that bringing the ball back means it gets thrown again. She is a smart, energetic sweetheart without being hyper and destructive. She sleeps through the night like a champ and has had no accidents in the house. Sunflower and one of her foster brothers are constant companions and he is doing his best to teach her how to chase squirrels and annoy her older brother. At this point, she has met and charmed everyone from our friend’s 7 year old son to the weekly pooper scooper service tech, to our 200lb football player neighbor. There is no human too small or too large for her to make friends with. She is undergoing heartworm treatment, so she continues her slow march toward health and a happy forever home!

Hello!  My name is Hollie and my holiday wish is to find my forever home!  I'm a very sweet-natured, playful puppy.  You can't tell from the photos, but I have beautiful blue eyes and soft, white fur.  I may be young, but I'm doing fairly well with my crate and house training.  We can work on that together. 

I have a foster brother and he's teaching me how to be a good Lab.  I like him very much. My teeth are coming in so I need lots of things to chew on right now.  I love toys, teethers and bones and am fond of chasing balls.  Most of all, I love to be outdoors.  I make my foster people chase me when they want me to come inside.  It's a great game!

Britta is a sweet, calm little lady who just wants to be with her people.  She will follow you from room to room and settle in for a nap when you finally stop moving.  She is housebroken and doesn't bark although she will give a nice appreciative moan if you will rub her ears.  She gets along wonderfully with her foster brother and greets other dogs appropriately.  The vet staff loved her and she charms everyone she meets on her walks.  She will be looking for a companion - maybe even a senior like herself to share a common bond.

Britta is slowly gaining some weight with a goal of just under 50lbs.  She was a model patient through her heartworm treatment injections and is now just taking it easy during the mandatory rest period.  She is very, very good at this!

Rexar is a very handsome, affectionate young lab who just wants to fit in. He is high-energy and never tires of chasing a ball or anything else you are willing to toss his way. He is not aggressive in any way and likes adults, kids, and other dogs. Rexar was mostly an outside dog before coming to DFW Lab Rescue and thus needed some remedial work on household etiquette. He has made good progress in a short time at his foster home and Rexar is now housebroken and crate trained.

He walks great on a leash and, with a little bit of work, could be good for jogging. Rexar still needs a bit of work on his jumping, which he does when he gets excited, such as greetings or when he’s amped up playing ball. He will do well as an only dog or with another dog that will play with him. He will do best in a home where someone is home most of the time, at least until he becomes acclimated to new surroundings. With a little patience, consistency and time he should make a great family dog.

Leo is a lover of long walks, play time and food (meaning anything he can put in his mouth). He is a sweetheart; loves to cuddle; hates to sleep alone; plays gently with his toys well (as gentle as a lab puppy can be with toys) and when tired, he is content laying on his bed or the couch. Leo is food-oriented and tends to follow his nose; especially on walks.  He especially loves to check out the trash bags on trash days and if he thinks it’s food, he will try to eat it! He is hard headed when you call him to ‘come’ (unless you have food in your hand) so he will need motivation and consistent training like any puppy.

Leo loves to greet us but will raise up or gently jump on you to greet (gentle might be because he’s only 30 pounds). He will chew on your shoe if left out or a cord or a box or the corner of your furniture so you will need to make sure you are monitoring him when given full access to the house.  He needs to be exercised, especially in the mornings and throughout the day, or his energy will overwhelm you in the house. He will be a great family member and a lot of fun for an active family.

Things that make him an easy dog...

• He is learning to let us know when he needs to go outside to potty but still needs to be taken out on a regular basis to prevent accidents (he loves to drink water and if given the opportunity will put his feet in the water bowl).
• He's not a barker unless his foster brother is guarding the toy he wants to play with.
• He will be easy to train since he is food motivated but will need a family that is consistent with patience and will need to be crated when home alone or not monitored until he can fully be trusted.

Leo is gentle, but he comes with a lot of puppy energy. Overall, Leo is an absolute treasure; he is gentle and has an enormous capacity for love. Leo is 100% puppy and looking for the right family to train him for the awesome dog he can be!

Dakk is a mellow dog that just wants to be by your side. He gets along well with his foster four legged brothers, but he really likes his foster mom and dad. He knows how to sit but could use some leash training as well as basic dog training 101. He is potty trained, but is not a fan of crate. He just wants to be with you!

My name is Pinkie— I have the cutest pink belly you’ve ever seen— and I’m being fostered with my brother. I am a petite chocolate Lab with hazel eyes. My mom is Marion & she’s on the DFWLRR website, if you’d like to see her photo. 

My foster mom says I am an absolute sweetheart & calls me Sleeping Beauty, because that’s what I most love to do!  My favourite place to be is asleep on her— or one of the kids that lives here— while they read, work, or walk. At night I sleep in my crate with my brother & everyone is super impressed because we have never gone to the bathroom inside our crate! And we’re just tiny puppies!!!

Pinkie is the sweetest little foster. She has a very laid back personality & is happiest to be near humans. She’s also very respectful of the two 4yr old labs that live here. Though small, she lets her brother know that she doesn’t like him biting her ears or playing rough. Pinkie will make a fantastic addition to a very lucky family. There’s really no better feeling than having a tiny puppy curl up on you & fall fast asleep!

My name is Ralph, and as you can see, I am a gorgeous Silver puppy with beautiful blue eyes. I am being fostered along with my little sister, Pinkie. My mom is Marion & she’s on the DFWLRR website, if you’d like to see her photo. 

My foster mom says I am one of the most beautiful boys she has ever fostered. I also overheard her say that I’m just not a dumb hunk— apparently, I’m very clever, and curious! I love running outside on the grass, but when I’m all tuckered out, I like to be carried indoors, where I can curl up with someone, or just plop myself on top of my sister & take a nap.  Our foster family is very impressed that neither of us have ever gone to the bathroom inside our crate! And we’re only puppies! 

Ralph is a sweetheart of a puppy. He is a happy boy who immediately learnt to be respectful of the two four year old Labs that live here. Ralph will make a fantastic addition to a very lucky family. There’s really no better feeling than having a sweet puppy curl up on you & fall fast asleep!

Can you imagine? Handsome as I am, I ended up a stray and then at the shelter. From there I found my way to DFW Lab and
boy did my life get better!!! Foster Mom says I was the best “first 24 hour” foster she has ever had.

I am house trained, and working on my manners. After everything I have been through, I am a bit shy with people at first, but give me a few minutes (and a few treats), and I will be loving all over you. I am calm and easy going most of the time. The things that get my energy level up are chow time, when I know we’re going for a walk, and when my people come home. I can “Sit” (and really fast when I know there is a treat involved) and we are working on those other commands. Gotta’ tell you though that “Stay” is really tough, though I am getting better (especially when there are treats involved). I also ride well in the car and get along well with other dogs.

I will be great for someone who likes to go for walks and then come home and snuggle. I love all kinds of affection and being close. As long as we are together, I am one happy, happy boy. I am looking for my new home and hoping my Forever Family will show up soon. If you think I might be the guy for you, just let the folks at DFW Lab Rescue know!

Hi everyone, I’m McClane but my foster parents call me all kinds of fun names.  They say they can’t help themselves because I AM sweetest . I am a wonderfully typical loving lab and I’m super smart and I learn really quickly.  I know several commands like sit, high five, shake and what the word NO means.  I would rather be snuggling with my foster parents, getting loving than anything else. I will put my paw on your leg if you sitting in a chair and ask you to pet me.  Sometimes, I get a little over zealous and want to be in your lap, so I need reinforcement that I have to stay on the floor. Otherwise, I never get on the furniture. 

I LOVE to play. I could spend the entire day outside playing fetch with you and a ball, rope, toy… you name it! I go outside on my own sometimes and throw the toy up and catch it and chase it myself. But I would like to have another dog or older children to play with. I’m young and I have lots of energy and love to go on walks. I get really excited when it’s time to go and will sit and wait while you put my harness. My foster Mom says I definitely have used one of these before. To be perfectly honest, I do pull on the leash and I will need reminders not to do that. I love meeting dogs on the walk and immediately go into a play bow ready to have fun. 

My foster Mom says I have really good manners. If you’re busy working or cooking in the kitchen, I’ll lie down and watch you or take a snooze.  I go in and out the doggie door and sometime just to lounge on the patio or nap in the backyard.  When it’s time for bed, I follow my foster parents into the bedroom and go right into my open crate and stay there all night until everyone gets up in the morning. The door is never closed. I’m especially excited when you come in after being at work and I tend to jump up some. My foster parents are working on that. I would be fine with younger children but I’m a big guy. I’ll need reinforcement of my manners and commands. 

I’d really like to find my forever family and be home for Christmas, so I’d love to meet you if you think I’m your guy!

Hi Everyone, my name is Coco Bear. They tell me I’m like Goldilocks, not from my golden highlights, but that I’m the kind of dog that is ‘just right’. I’m old enough to know all the important life skills yet young enough to still be silly and have an active role in your life. I know how to behave with excellent manners, all I really want from you is love, love, love.  I know I’m cute and I’m really good at convincing you to pet me. Trust me, I have my ways. I live with three foster lab siblings and two cats. And I love them all, I’ll even share my bed with that needy cat. We have all kinds of toys and bones and everyone shares nicely. Toys are nice and all, but I’d much rather snuggle up with you. I got an A+ in snuggle skills on my latest report card. I can be trusted in the house; I never bother a thing and I’ve never had an accident. At night I usually sleep in the family room, occasionally I sleep in the bedroom with everyone else. I’d gladly take a spot in your bed if you’d let me (just sayin’).

My most favorite thing of all is going for walks!! I’ve learned enough to know that you’re calm and quiet when you’re inside but when it’s time for walkies, let the joy overflow! Foster mom says I need some work on leash, but I just love it so much! I’m looking for a family that will embrace my snuggability, take me on walks and adventures and let me love them will all my heart.

Hello! My name is Kole and I am on the search for my happily ever after. I used to live the independent vagabond life, but I am ready to settle down. This domesticated life is the BEST! I love all 2 leggers and love to play with the pups in my foster home. Now don’t get me wrong, I am still a young pup and I
want to go on lots of adventures. I just don’t want to go solo anymore. I am dreaming of a family that will love me, play with me (I especially like my ball), teach me all the things that I need to know to be a perfect gentleman (I can definitely be bribed with treats), and did I mention love me? Anyway, since we
are in the holiday season, I would be thankful if you would adopt ME (or one of my other DFW Lab friends) because all I want for Christmas is my forever family!

Chief has settled in nicely.  He is such a good dog and very eager to please.  He loves his treats and can sit and stay waiting on a treat.  We have been working on walking on a leash, and I would say he is doing quite well.  Chief loves to play with other dogs. We do not have another dog in our home, but he loves playing with the neighbors dog on a daily basis. I think Chief would do well with another dog in the home. He has not been around young children, as we have teenagers in our home. He does like to chew, and I try to keep chew toys at the ready. He is very happy in his crate, but when he is hanging with us, he does not like to be far from our side. 

With a little love and patience Chief is going to be a GREAT dog.

Lowla is a beautiful little black lab who was found as a stray with a dog buddy.  Lowla is friendly, inquisitive, and she loves to SNUGGLE! She basks in the attention of people.  She is well-behaved, having learned to sit, to use the dog door, and to mind during meals and food preparation.  She is very comfortable in her crate.  She chews appropriately and is thoroughly house trained.  Though she is still learning manners, she is very manageable on the leash.  Lowla likes her big foster brother, but he is a bit of a fuddy-duddy who is not always in the mood for puppy play.  However, that does not stop Lowla from greeting him with puppy kisses.  Lowla will be perfect for the those who enjoy a young Lab's friendliness, curiosity, and enthusiasm and one maybe a little more mature for her age.

Hello, my name is Silvers, yes I am one of those rare silver labs. I became a lab rescue only because my owner became ill and could no longer care for me. He did the right thing, by giving me to DFW Lab Rescue because he knew they would find me a good home.

About me, I am a beautiful, young female, 51 pounds, and I am house trained and I love to ride in the car. I go to work with my foster and love to greet everyone that comes in the door. I am good with kids, big and little, I love to play with other dogs, and I have learned that I have to take it a little easier on these two old dogs. Don’t forget I am a puppy and I have to get that young energy out, but with walks and playing fetch in the back yard I am a more play appropriate dog.

I also love my crate and will sleep without a peep until you open the door in the morning. With the holidays here, I would love to have a home to share with my forever family.  I am quite a special lady on her way to being the best girl I can be and I promise, I will love you forever!

Hi!  I'm Maxter and my sister, Mya and I are looking for our forever homes, and we hope those can be together. Our previous home didn’t have a lot of time for us… we were kept outside and didn’t have toys or treats, or go on walks. Recently, we went to a foster home and within a few days, found out just how great life can be! Everyone keeps saying how awesome and cute we are, and that our personalities are starting to shine! We love to wrestle and play, fetch, go on walks and cuddle! We love people and giving kisses, and we’re learning to walk on a leash like a pro! I’m almost crate trained and Mya is already pretty good at it. We’re also both almost house trained (we just need a few more weeks and some patience). We love kids and other dogs, but we haven’t met a cat yet. 

We have so much love to give and can’t wait to meet our Forever Family! Is that you?

Bucee here and checking in with all future adopters. My foster mom says I’m suppose to tell you all about myself so here goes...

I am a handsome boy who is single and ready to mingle! My foster mom might say my manners need work but I prefer to say I'm happy, always excited to see you and young - I think you get the gist.

I finished up my Heartworm treatment so I’m getting to do lots of fun stuff like walks, which my foster mom says I’m getting better at, playing with my foster brothers and toys - I love playing with toys! I like cats too - but the word is I like them too much - so cats are off limits for me. My counter surfing skills are pretty good but that is frowned upon around here so I’m learning new skills to take its place. I am crate trained, although I do protest just in case you fall for my sad eyes, but I easily give in and take a good nap. My foster mom lets me sleep on a comfy bed beside her all night, the rule is if I stay I don’t have to go to my crate. So of course I do just that, best 8 hours of beauty sleep a guy could ever have! I have learned to use the doggy door and have had no accidents since I learned you just walk through it (for a bit I thought barking at it was the secret password - that did not work).

I’m excited to meet my furever family.. I would do best with a family who is patient and willing to continue working on my manners. According to my foster mom I’m a fast learner, I just have a lot to learn since no one taught me before being rescued by these pawesome people! I do have a special request, I’m a cuddle bug and would love a family that wants lots of chocolate lab cuddles. My favorite place is right beside my people.

This sweet mama has maintained a gentle personality and loving eyes after her rough start in life.  She loves being with her Lab foster siblings, and is gentle and happy with humans of all ages and sizes. She is house broken and crate trained, and walks pretty well on a leash— a little zig-zaggy, but she doesn’t pull. Thankfully, no prey drive, so she can be trusted with our guinea pigs and chickens. She does not react to storms (and boy, we have had some big ones!). Joy-ous is a little nervous in the car, but with time and exposure, she will adjust. She loves treats and toys, but isn't really into fetching or swimming. Joy-ous will be a wonderful addition to the lucky family who comes her way!

I ended up in the shelter after being found running around on a rural road. I was covered in fleas and was glad to have somewhere to go. They fell in love with me at the shelter because I am such a good, sweet guy and now the guys at DFW Lab Rescue are going to find me a forever home!

They say I'm a senior – but please, don’t let that stop you from considering me. I am calm and easy going – none of that crazy energy those young dudes have! I can “Sit” and we are working on those other commands but I have gotta tell you though that “Stay” is really tough because I just want to be with my people all the time. I love all kinds of affection and being close. I will be a great dog for someone who is looking for a companion to snuggle up with. As long as we are together, I am one happy, happy boy.

Hello my adoring fans. Kelce here to fill you in on my fantastic self, but first a short history. I was found running around with Kady and it's possible I may have been a very bad dog and we now have 9 adorable puppies. Those days are long behind me though. Now I am living in this foster home place and loving the good life. I have learned that the bathroom is outside thank you very much. I know how to sit and shake your hand. I sleep on a soft dog bed in my foster parents room at night. I like to nap on the couch or on a dog bed or pretty much anywhere. I am crate trained, but I have been left out for an hour or two with my 3 lab foster brothers and I have been a good boy. OK… there was ONE time that I snatched a piece of bread from a sandwich but in my defense, the sandwich was left on the table unattended, I am a dog and I love food so I ate it (and if given the chance, I may do it again!) 

I have learned that I love to run and play. It makes me happy. I am still learning how to walk on a leash and not try to chase those pesky squirrels. I love stuffed toys and I don’t hurt them. But the thing that I love the most is just being loved and petted and adored - that is my favorite thing.

I am ready for my forever home so my foster mom made a video of me that you can find right on this page. Check it out and who knows, I may meet you later!  https://youtu.be/TSgwr7OOyV8

Gage is a handsome, friendly, loving pup, that is always on the move with lots of energy! He is crate, and potty trained. We are continuously working on his reaction to play with other dogs on his walk, other than that he does well on leash. Chewing is one of his favorite past times, so toys are a must! He is especially a fan of Crocs shoes. He enjoys running and playing with other dogs and humans and hasn’t met another creature he didn’t like. He is curious about the cat and the horses next door, when he is not chasing the frogs and crickets that hop around in the back yard. Gage has rather long legs and jumps up to greet with sweet kisses when his foster parents arrive home for the day. He can be vocal when he is not getting his way, but with some obedience classes he will be an excellent four-legged family member. He is a very intelligent and is a fast learner.

My name is Joyley & I am a black female puppy with an adorable tiny, white spot on my chin.  My foster parents keep repeating over & over that I am one of the sweetest puppies they’ve ever met. 

Apparently, I am also extremely clever & catch on quickly. The first day I arrived, I had a bit of trouble understanding how glass doors work, but I’ve mastered them quickly, impressing everyone here. And, between you and I, I have since outsmarted them a few more times! 

There are two four-year old labs that live here, as well as two teenage boys, and I have such fun with them, I  could play all day long. My foster Mom is a bit strict though, and makes me have 3 naps a day!  Sometimes, I get so tired from playing that I just plop myself down on the floor before nap time. To everyone’s amazement, I haven’t had a single accident in my crate. When I first arrived I was waking up at 5:30am for room service, but I’m now expected to wait till at least 7am. 

Joyley was an owner surrender at 8 wks old.  She is a sweetheart with a happy-go-lucky attitude and has adjusted brilliantly to sleeping in a crate, with no accidents. Some puppies at this age are very independent, while others aren’t. Joyley falls in the center, which works out so well. Training her should be fairly easy as her amazing nose guides her straight to the cookie jar regardless of how many times you move it.  She has been an absolute joy to foster!

Hiya! My name's Gallup! I'm a happy dog with lots of energy that would love having another dog around to play with, but if not, just having a forever home is amazing too!! I enjoy going on walks and playing tug of war! I am a little smaller than most Labs so I may be better with small children than those big guys if you have them in your home. I have a funny little dance I do when you scratch my butt just right. You could say I do a little twerk! Even though I’m still young in years, I haven’t chewed on my foster family’s things.  I’m house broken and crate trained (but sometimes you have to “encourage” me with a treat).  I love to eat, so you can train me by bribing me with food.  I know a few tricks but would love a family that would teach me more.  

Well, I hope this little introduction caught your attention and that you'll let everyone know you would like to bring me to my forever home - yours!

Hello!  I’m Sylvia.  Are you looking for a sweet puppy to train, snuggle and play with? That’s amazing because I am that pup! Some title me as “needing to learn manners” but I prefer to think of myself as exuberant and full of life. Let me explain my simple requirements: Endless love and affection, lots of time to snuggle, lots of toys to play with, daily walks (I love meeting new people and dogs), treats and more treats!

What makes me special? I know the following commands: sit, up, come, heal, drop, no and working on stay (I am a bit stubborn and am still learning so have a treat for better response time). I have a big voice but your rarely hear it, not much of a guard dog. When I sleep sometimes I snore quietly, my foster thinks it’s cute. Do you love to play  ball? OMG so do I! Throw it and I will bring it back, just don’t expect me to catch anything because that’s not going to happen. I love everyone I meet even little dogs who don’t like me (not sure about cats). When excited I do tend to mouth people’s hands to get their attention but will stop when told no. Oh, I am house and crate trained too! I prefer not to be locked up a bunch though since I would rather be shadowing you around the house. Did I mention how adorable I am? Everyone tells me so. I like to look at myself in mirrors, do you blame me?

Hi everyone, Hakuna here.   I don’t want to brag, but you can see how gorgeous I am, at least that is what my foster Mom keeps telling me.  My old family did not have time for me so I spent a lot of time outside or in a crate.  I also didn’t get many walks.  You would never know any of this because I’m really a well behaved girl.  I’m calm in the house and I get along great with my foster brother and foster kitty.  I’m potty and crate trained (although I do great w/free roam as well).  I need a little work w/leash walking but I LOVE going on walks and really want an active family that will make sure I get plenty of exercise.   I love laying in the same room where you are and just want to be close.  I do great in the car and would love to go where you go.  

My foster Mom says I’m one of the sweetest girls and any person/family would be lucky to be able to adopt me.  If I sound like the girl for you, you need to get me on your want list.  Can’t wait to meet my forever family and start our happy ever after together.

Hi Hoomans!  Buster Brown here. I’m a sweet, handsome chunk of chocolate Lab. I lived outside on a hard concrete pad for the past part of my life.  It was pretty hard and I was lonely.  My hoomans didn’t pay me much time or attention and handed me over to the shelter. I had been in kennels for 3 months and it was scary. I didn’t know what was going on. I lost a lot of weight and a lot of my coat fell out and then these great people from DFW Lab Rescue picked me up and my life has changed a lot since then! I’ve gained 10 pounds and I weigh 100lbs now. My foster family thinks I will gain another 5-10 pounds. My foster family is feeding me a lot of good food and my coat is growing again and is brown and shiny like it should be! 

I love attention and affection and I follow my hoomans around the house and play with the other two Labs. I like to be touched by the hoomans and love to play with the other dogs. The hoomans call me their gentle giant. I am good with the crate and do pretty good on doing my business outside. They tell me I am a great dog and that they will ugly cry when I find my new hoomans.  I am looking for a hooman family to spend the rest of my life with that I can love and protect. I would be happy to be in a family with other dogs but more than anything I am looking for a family that can spend a lot of time with me playing and loving on me. 

Are you looking for a gentle chocolate giant? If so, maybe I am your boy. My foster hoomans tell me they will make sure I end up in a great home, and if they can’t find someone worthy of me, they will let me stay with them until I do!  Thanks for checking me out!  BB

Here you can see Buster Brown in action learning to be a part of a family!

Here comes some chocolate puppy love!! Archee is the sweetest thing that, as any young puppy, can sometimes be a little rascal when he gets that look of mischief in his eyes! As such, Archee is a typical teenage puppy - playful, active, curious and happy. Just recently neutered, his hormones are playing a bit with him right now but this guy is a ton of fun.

Archee knows sit and shake and you quickly can fall for him with his charming personality and sweet nature. He loves to be snuggled! Archee is potty and crate trained. He is super friendly with everyone he meets; old and young, small and tall. Archee seems to be a bit smaller but nothing can keep him from being a loving goof ball keeping up with four fosters and sister dogs. 

Archee will bring lots of Lab love and excitement to any household!  If you want to see him in action you can check out his video: https://youtu.be/56WEVH3Q3kY

Pollard is a good looking chocolate boy. He is in the prime of his life, with energy of a younger dog. His life is one long game of fetch and he loves to jump in the pool. He has been working on jumping off the edge of the pool to see how far he can go. He is a future dock jumper in the making! Pollard is a little curious about the cat. If she runs he will chase but nothing mean spirited. He has 3 human siblings that he loves to play with. He especially loves when they take him on walks.

I believe Pollard would be a great match for an active family. He has the energy of a young pup but is over the puppy stage. Pollard would love to be a part of your family!

This petite girl is a real cuddle bug. She is house and crate trained and is trustworthy while we are away. She is really calm for her age but is always ready to go when you say it is time. She loves to play with the resident dogs but, if they don’t want to, she is happy to just chew on a bone. We are working on leash manners as she is very excited to go on walks. We are also working on keeping all 4 on the floor and her jumping up has improved.

Vana is still learning how to play ball and with other toys. She loves to chew on Nylabones and she hasn’t ever touched a shoe or any other non-dog item. Vana is a little mouthy so she would do best initially in a home with children, if present, over 6 years old.  She would also enjoy a young playful dog.

My name is Zac, and after quite an exciting last few months, I'm finally ready to find my forever family! The doctors told me I had elbow dysplasia, and then they did surgery on me. Afterward, I had to be real still and quiet for a whole month while I recovered, which was no fun at all! Thank goodness, I'm now my normal, rambunctious, curious and playful self again. I am well behaved for my age, and am learning new manners every day! I love going for walks, playing with toys, cuddling and splashing around in the water! My favorite things, though, are ice cubes and drinking from the water hose. Everyone who meets me tells me how handsome I am... I really do have so much love to give! There is a good chance I will develop arthritis in my elbow as I age (don't we all), so I really need someone that understands I'll need just a bit of extra love and care to help me have the happiest, healthiest life. I promise you, it'll be worth it! Are we meant to be?

Hi, my name is Rosebud. I was found as a stray until a shelter took me in where they quickly decided that I was a shelter favorite. I suspect it is because I am very quiet and calm.  I have quickly adapted to my foster home and love my canine foster siblings, although my foster dad is my favorite. My foster sister is bossy but foster mom said she must really like me because she warmed up to me right away. The fosters tell me my foster brother is a Lab but he looks more like a small horse. There are no kids or cats in my foster house however foster mom thinks I would get along well with both since I am so calm and little. I love my crate and sleep quietly in there at night. I also do not bark. The only noise I make is a soft whine when my foster dad leaves me to go to this place called work but I only whine for a second. I just really like him and like to follow him around. I am very content to rest at your feet and I never get on furniture.  I am also house trained. 

I will be looking for my forever home soon. If you are looking for a little, petite girl who is calm and quiet.... pick me!! I am super easy!

Note from foster mom: Rosebud is a very easy girl who just wants to be loved. If you walk by her, she very gently reaches out her paw to touch you. She is not demanding of your attention and is very content to just rest on her pillow. She loves to be outside too. She is submissive with other dogs.

Hello, my name is Kolton, I’m handsome black lab just 51 pounds, but at my age I still have a little growing to do. I am a county boy that had no collar, was not chipped and when I wandered too far from home, I never found my way back. I did find my way to the animal shelter where I had a roof over my head and one meal a day. The good people at DFW Lab Rescue found me and then they gave me shots, a chip and a name. When I got my freedom ride to my foster house, I knew my life was going to be so good. I get three meals a day, got a hot bath & spa treatment and a good bed.  If I had only known life could be so good, I would have gotten lost a year ago.

A little about me, I love to go on walks and am good on the leash. I am house trained and when I need to go out, I always go to the door. I sit on command and have a gentle mouth for taking treats. I come when called, don’t chew up anything, and when the fosters sit down to watch TV, I will lay down close until I see them moving around. I prefer to sleep in their bedroom where I just find a place on the floor (they told me there just isn't room on their bed).  I am learning that crate training is required and while I'm not happy about it, I'm starting to get used to it.

I do like kids, other dogs, and am good with the guests that come over, I know jumping on them is not acceptable. The best thing about me is I am as sweet as honey and I love to put my big head in your lap and just get as much love as you will give out.

Word is, I become available for my forever home very soon. You will not find a better looking boy, that is gentle as can be, that is good as can be in the house, that does not counter surf and that will never cause you any grief.  My only bad side is I tend to stretch the truth, but only a little.

Handsome Hank is a guy that really lives up to his name. He is so HANDSOME! If you are in need of massive cuddles and endless love this is your guy!
The ladies and everyone he meets all fall in love at first sight!!

Hank loves his kennel, bones and his morning walk at the park. He is a family man and is looking for a family - maybe with kids - to spend their time adoring him and sharing in mutual cuddles. Hank also has some great manners and knows the basic commands. This guy is a pro on a leash and lots of manners at meal time. Don't get me wrong, he is not perfect. He has found his Labrador nose leading him to the inside of the trash can and on the kitchen counters. But - with a little careful planning (no food to tempt him and the trash can in a safe place with a door) you can easily foil his main fault.

Handsome Hank will fill your heart with so much love. His next family will be getting the Golden Ticket of Labs!!!  Who wants to sign up for this boy?

Vander is the quintessential young lab.  He loves playing with his toys (balls and chew toys are his favorite) and gets along great with the other two labs in his foster home.  He has learned to ignore the cat, since he figured out the cat is not interested in being friends.  This handsome guy really enjoys walks and with more leash practice, he could be a great jogging partner or just an agreeable sidekick.  He has lots of young boy energy, but as long as he gets a chance to go on a walk, play ball or some other fun activity he is content to come back and enjoy some relaxing time with his people.  If you do not like to snuggle, Vander is not your guy.  This sweet boy is so affectionate and sweet.  Vander will gaze adoringly into your eyes and thrives on getting lots of hugs and snuggles. 

Vander is an all-around super guy and would make a great addition to any family!

Hello my name is Rocke, I am a handsome yellow male, only 57 pounds and I like to say - not one ounce of fat on me! I watch what I eat. My big brother Spike came into the program in July and he told me what a wonderful family he has found, and now it is my turn. I am an owner surrender only because my human got sick and had to give the two of us up. Several months ago we move to a downtown high rise apartment which was not so bad. We got to meet a lot of other dogs and people but finding any grass downtown is a challenge. The two of us had the run of the apartment all day, we never gave our human any problems and I can tell you - we are good guys. 

I like to stay close to my foster dad and when he leaves I stay by the back door and wait for his return. I don’t jump on people and I have wonderful manners! I don’t counter surf or get into anything that is not mine. I prefer to sleep in the bedroom with my foster and when he falls asleep I make my way to the foot of the bed. I have excellent hearing and will bark if someone knocks on the door or is making noise outside in my yard. I am good with other dogs, big and small and I love the grandkids.  When you pull out a ball - I turn into a one year old! I never want to stop retrieving and will always bring it back. Am I the perfect dog .... well almost, I need a home to be able to say that, so please help me out. I will make you proud.

Mona Lisa is a lover, who likes to be with her person all the time. She will follow you around and put her head in your lap if you sit down. She collects shoes but doesn't chew them one bit.  In fact, she hasn't chewed anything at all in her foster home.  She does like stuffed toys with squeakers in them and she does not like her crate much, but she has been sleeping in it nicely at night. She does jump up when you first greet her but we are working on this and  it is getting less and less each day.  She likes to play fetch and she walks pretty well on a leash - no pulling - she walks with her nose to the ground and is trying to catch the scent of a rabbit, which she really, really wants to catch! 

Mona Lisa loves being touched and allowed herself to be bathed and check her teeth, ears, etc. without batting an eye.  You can easily remove toys, food bowls, etc from her and she doesn't mind.  She is pretty indifferent to her 3 foster dog sisters but cats are unknown. She sniffed and then ignored a four-year-old child and a two-year-old child when they came over and played in the backyard while she was there and ignores children, adults and other dogs while walking.  Mostly she is trying to find that darn rabbit!

Mona Lisa is a bit of an introvert EXCEPT around her humans.  She does play a bit with her foster sisters, but not much.  She LOVES to hang out outside in the backyard, and sometimes refuses to come back in.  She just likes to lay on the patio and breathe the fresh air. This girl just needs a place to live the good lab life!

Hobbs here.  I've been with my foster family for a few weeks now and I'm fitting right in. I have a foster brother who is teaching me how to be a good Lab.  Other than being a little shy, I'm a pretty typical puppy. I enjoy chasing balls and playing with toys. I also enjoy snuggling, especially at night. 

I am doing great with house training and I keep my crate very neat. To be honest, the crate isn't my favorite place to be, but I'm getting used to it. If given the choice, I'd rather be where the humans are. I'm doing well with my manners and have learned a couple of commands. 

Just so you know, I have a red spot on my nose right now. The doctor says it's a type of benign tumor that puppies often get. It should go away on its own in a month or two, but it's not good for glamour shots right now but my foster family thinks I'm such a great puppy that won't matter.

I'm a sweet, calm puppy who is looking for my forever home.  Who is ready for some puppy snuggles?

Donny is a very sweet and affectionate young boy. First, he loves his attention and sometimes barks or starts grabbing toys one by one to get your attention or to tell you he wants to play. He does have a moderate amount of energy but does quiet down easily and sleeps like an angel. His preferred sleeping location is on the cold hardwood floor although he does sometimes start out on the bed and eventually climbs down to the floor. Donny walks very well and calm on a leash but would also make for a good jogging partner. He get's along well with other dogs but would probably do best with a dog that can match his age/energy level. This guy loves all stuffed toys and only barks when he wants to play or get attention and does not bark at passing cars or people.  Donny has recently learned how to sit and currently working on how to shake. He also likes to swim or get in the water. Donny does not really love his kennel but will settle down and does not try to break out. He also does well with children.​

Donny will make a great family dog, he is smart, very trainable, funny personality, and very lovable.  He does sometimes get into things he is not suppose to but he mostly just carries things in front of you in an attempt to get attention.

Hi all, Huntter here, just arrived and I’m a little confused how this works. Until now I had been in only one home. I had a sister but she went to a different foster home. I was a bit disappointed in her, after all our years together, she got in that other car and never looked back. It did not take long for me to realize I really missed a canine sibling. Families are great!  I love kids, and big people and heck - I even like cats - but I really missed dog play and my doggie talks.

So now I'm in a foster home with loads of other dogs! We are having a blast. I am allowed a few laps in the pool, we chase each other across the yard, we wrestle in the living room and I go to lie on the couch sometimes and get petted. I’ve put on a few pounds in the past year which I now need to loose so my new home should be a place I can get back into shap and that's great because I really like to go walking and think swimming would be great for me if you have other swimmers and a pool. I'm looking for a laid back family with loves, cuddles and another sweet dog to live my life with.  Are you the family for me?

Hello world, my name is Weston and I have been patiently waiting to meet you! I am living with my awesome foster Mom while putting on some much-needed weight after I went through my heartworm treatment. Thankfully I’m healthy now and ready for my forever family! Are you in the market for a young, smart, dare I say ruggedly handsome boy on the smaller side? If so, I’m your dog! I know my basic commands like “sit” and “come here”, plus I even tell you when I’m ready to go outside by going to the back door! Impressed yet…. cause there’s more!

I had a rougher start to my young life, so I am not used to toys or what to do with them. I wasn’t too sure about the pool either but with patience will happily learn. I am not afraid of a leash but will need continued practice to become the perfect cardio companion. I keep a very clean kennel and love to lay my head on your lap for love. My foster Mom is an awesome judge of character and says I’m a very loyal and attentive boy that is curious about everything without being destructive. I get along well with other dogs (even big ones) and I am an awesome guard dog. Alerting you to anyone at the door, and when your Amazon package arrives! Don’t let my smaller stature fool you. I have a heart as big as Texas and am ready to give it to the right family!

Okay, okay, everyone remain calm, the line to give me ear scratches forms to the left!

Ready to have a fun day with Zayday? This girl is always ready to do whatever you’re doing.

This spunky 50 pounder is a living doll. Weather it is a walk or cuddle time, she will be there. House trained and crate trained (one of the best fosters ever), she is ready to please. Zayday can get excited and do some jumping up, so we are working on that. She loves to play with other dogs, so if you like dog parks, she is good one for that.

She has shown to be trust worthy in the house. Zaydat hasn’t done any chewing on furniture, cords or shoes, but she does love a good nylabone at times. 

Ball time is one of her favorites, especially high bouncing balls. She would be great in a home with another dog to play with, or children to play ball with her. She does keep herself occupied on her own with toys, so if it isn’t time to play, she will wait.

Zayday will be ready for her forever home soon and she can’t wait to snuggle with you.

 Hi everyone, Nalla here.  My foster Mom tells me I’m one of the cutest and calmest puppies she has ever fostered.  I’m happy playing with my toys and following you around.  I have'nt chewed on anything I’m not suppose to but my Mom gives me plenty of toys and chews so I’m not bored.   I have a big foster Brother and we get along really well.    Also there is a cat in the house, he makes this awful sound like a hiss and it scares the heck out of me so I pretty much leave him alone

I’m sweet, soft and cuddly. Will you be my new best friend?? My foster Mom says I’m the sweetest dog & I’ve got the most precious face ever!!!!

I’m an older gentleman but Mom thinks that just adds to my mystique. I still have a lot of energy and like to run and play! I would do best with a semi or retired person or family or someone who works from home since I don’t really like to be alone too much. Super bonus is that I’m good with kids, cats & other dogs. I also still need some help with training since my previous owners didn’t work with me too much, but I'm happy to learn whatever you want to teach me.

Did I mention I’m really quite handsome.  Check me out and let’s be best friends!!!!

This petite snuggly love bug is well behaved, potty trained, walks well in a leash, plays well with children, other dogs and cats.  Kleo is a mild puppy at heart that is gentle natured and appears to have been to cotillion.  While some dogs want to taste your fingers if you give them a treat, this lil lady is gentle and takes treats sweetly.  She wants a person to pal around with and follow, kids beds to snuggle on and would definitely enjoy having another pup around too.

Here comes Lucy Lou; paw-some and beautiful! She is so sweet, calm, and gentle, who loves being close to you. Lucy Lou was rescued after living on the streets with her almost grown puppies. Even though her life wasn’t easy before, she kept her friendly and loving spirit. Her uncertainty with being welcomed in the house and using/sleeping on dog beds disappeared after only short time with her foster family.

Lucy Lou listens very well with her basic commands and patiently waits for her food. She gets along easily with her furry foster siblings, two active Labs, one feisty dachshund, & moody terrier mix. She enjoys joining them in play and other fun activities. Her pack siblings have shown her the silly and enjoyable things of life. She now loves carrying toys around, cleaning the dishes, joining your cook off, being your taste buddy, bringing your slippers, and wagging her tail with happiness. This girl is a people pleaser and loves her one-on-one time. We do believe she will do great in most all environments but would like to see her new family having lots of time and attention for her. We've been told she is good with cats, but she has not been privy to them since being here.

Lucy Lou is house-broken, and crate trained. She doesn’t seem to enjoy the crate much but can thankfully be fully trusted roaming free in the house, meaning she doesn’t claim your furniture, chew or dig. She walks very nice on the leash and is an excellent co-driver and RV camper. We are not sure about swimming.

Lucy Lou finished her heartworm treatment and is nearing the end of her activity restriction period. She is glad that's all behind her to find her fur-ever home.  She truly is a jewel of finest Labrador love.  Click below to check out Lucy Lou in action.

Xenna here, I was raised in the country and my owner moved out and left me behind. The nice neighbors took care of me for quite some time and they helped to get me here. I was never spayed and had 2 litters of puppies. I am just a youngster myself and a petite girl at 55 pounds and really just learning to play. I made it promptly into a foster home and it has been great!

There are 5 of us here and we all get along very well. I am a bit of a picky eater so my foster siblings hang out and wait for me to finish and I don’t care. There have been no accidents in the house so I get to sleep in a dog bed at night but they put me in the kennel when they leave, just in case.  I humor them and hang out and wait quietly. I am not a big chewer nor am I destructive and so far that swimming pool in the back yard has not interested me except to drink from. I am super sweet and do love to cuddle. I am great with children also and so far not so sure about those cats. If they don’t run, I won’t chase. I am an amateur on the leash. Not sure where I am supposed to walk but do not pull on those walking me.

My foster parents think that I am super sweet. I will begin interviewing people for my forever home soon so let those nice folks in adoptions know if you think you should meet me.

Hi!  I’m Curly Joe!  My foster mom says that even though I’m a big boy, I’m definitely still a puppy.  I love to play with my foster sister, but also love to sit pretty when my foster mom snuggles with me.  When I arrived at my foster home, I wasn’t really potty trained, but my foster mom has been working with me and I’m doing great!  Now, she’s just trying to get me to ring a bell to let her know when I need to potty.  

I’m a smart little boy and learned how to “sit” very quickly.  I also learned how to swim in my foster mom’s pool really fast and I LOVE to swim, especially with my foster sister and my 11 year-old two legged foster brother.  My foster mom says that I’m a good dog now, but will be a great dog if my new family takes me to puppy “obedience” classes and is patient with me.  

My foster mom takes me on walks and I’m really good on the leash.  I don’t pull too much, and since my foster mom has been working with me, I’ve been doing really well with something she calls, “loose leash walking.”  Sometimes, my foster family has to leave, and I stay in a crate while they are gone.  I don’t mind it!  I love to go out and about with my foster family, and am really well behaved when they take me out to lunch at restaurants.  We get to eat outside, and sometimes we see other dogs. Sometimes I bark a little, but I calm down really quickly.

I can’t wait to meet you and become a part of your family!  Want to watch me in action?  Click here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2QVMs5Iu5Q&feature=youtu.be

Hi! My name is Winters and I am a stunning silver girl. 

I am house trained, I don't chew anything I should not, don't counter surf, I ride nicely in the car, I get on great with other big dogs and am just a  perfect house guest for my foster mom. I am pretty low key all the time but I do play ball and fetch if I am in the mood. I am very affectionate and I do like a space on the couch to snuggle very, very close! I love love love all toys and am happiest when I can pile my toys up on the sofa with you for a movie.

Overall I am super laid back but I am a bit choosy about what I eat and when I eat - I prefer to graze on and off during the day. I have had run of my foster mom's house as I showed I could be trusted really quickly. I am not the most energetic of labs and I am really not keen on swimming but if you are looking for a snuggle buddy I am definitely your girl.

Aya is definitely the leader of the bonded pair ‘Aya & Abby’. Aya is a typical loving, active, playful & beautiful champagne female lab who loves to please. Aya loves to do tricks, especially if treats are involved. She can sit, shake and give a ‘high five’ pat on command.  She loves to be near her people and is quite happy laying upon her family’s feet. Aya is very polite and never gets on furniture, unless invited.  Aya takes care of her sister Abby and willingly shares everything including dinner/food bowls ... she is a good guard dog in that she definitely lets you know when strangers are near. I think she really does try to talk but this usually occurs only when she needs out or wants attention. Aya gets along well with other dogs, both large and small. She is great with children though will definitely run through kids if playing chase or fetching balls as she gets so excited! Aya is both kennel and house trained.
Aya and her sister Abby are such an easy -care pair. They are a joy to be around!

Abbie is such a sweetheart! She loves to be petted and given belly rubs; her favorite place is to lay her head in the lap of any of her family members! She is very quiet, hardly ever barks but will give a faint whine when she needs outside.  Abbie LOVES to carry around a stuffed toy and also loves to play fetch with balls or toys.  Abbie is quite passive and has no issues with storms, etc - but she will try to hide if people yell.  She is great with both small dogs and large dogs, and wonderful with children.  Abbie was born with multiple bone deformities thus with these physical challenges she is not able to be as active as a normal Lab her age but she sure will try to keep up as she has the biggest heart! She walks well on a leash, listens well, tries to please, can sit, shake and turn circles on command. She is kennel trained and house trained; Abbie follows her sister Aya around sharing everything but their favorite thing to share petting hands!  One think Abby can't do is a lot of stairs,  so two stories homes would not be good for her.

All Abby really needs and wants is lots of love ... she really is the sweetest dog ever!!!

I wanted to give you an update on how I’m doing now that I’m settled into my foster family. Boy is it nice here! I get to chase squirrels with my two foster brothers. I have my very own dog bed in the sleeping room, turns out I’m a great sleeper and have no trouble staying tucked in all night, whoda thunk it?! There are tennis balls, and rawhide bones galore and boy do we all love playing with them. When it’s kennel time I go right in for a treat and catch up on my beauty sleep. I have been on several car rides to Starbucks, but I call it doggy heaven where I am always told what a “good girl” I am and hear “oh isn’t she gorgeous”, but I’m not letting it go to my head. I’m still the same polite, happy lady I was when I got here. My foster mom’s friend just had a baby and he came for a visit. I was super curious to see how you humans do the baby thing, since I’ve had a few babies of my own. I was curious but very kind and gentle with him. I licked his hand (making friends everywhere is what I do best) and then I laid down right next to him and we napped.  Gotta love a kid that respects naps! I’m resting after my heartworm treatment but am so excited to meet a nice family soon. Does anyone have a kid or a dog that needs a new friend? If so, I’m your girl!

Hey there, Bo here!  I just wanted to say hello and I hope to find a new home soon.  My foster Mom is great and she is teaching me to swim and understand my size and more about myself. She is using the training she has had from DFW Lab Rescue dog trainers to understand how to help me to grow into the best dog I can be.  I'm still a young guy and improving all the time.  I love to fetch the ball, swim and play with (sometimes destroy) toys!  I love people SO much and just want to be with them.  Other dogs are fine for me but since I've always kind of been a single guy, I prefer having my human family all to myself.  My foster sister and I run sometimes next to each other, we walk next to each other, eat next to each other and nap next to each other. So I guess you can say we get along just fine, but neither of us is big into playing. My foster mom says I need a family that understands that they need to be in charge (whatever!) and that will continue to help me with my schooling. She also tells me I'm a good boy and I'm handsome (I like this part)!  So, if you want a good dog who will be your buddy and that you can help with his homework, then I'm your guy.  

Bo's foster mom here. Bo is probably best in a home without smaller kids due to his size and still having a bit of puppy in him. He needs a leader who will continue to socialize him and challenge him. He is not a good dog for someone who wants to run with him, but he still needs exercise with good walks and ideally access to a pool.

I’m so glad you clicked on my bio!  I’m Couper and I really hope that after reading my bio you’ll want to meet me and play/hang out/have something to eat ‘cause these are all things I really like to do.   

I am super happy that I was rescued and I’m loving life in my foster home.  I have two fur siblings and they were not too pleased to see me at first because I was so excited that I was maybe a little over the top.  We all chilled out after a couple of days and now we play tug, go on walks together and talk.  I share toys and really like it when the others share their food, too. 

My foster parents keep me safe in a crate when they’ll be out of the house but otherwise I’m fancy free.  I really like foster dad’s recliner!  Even when he’s in it already but we make it work.  At night, I sleep on a bed next to theirs and am good all night.  There has been a couple of times when my foster parents didn’t realize I needed to go outside and I couldn’t wait and used the little rug by the back door.  I’m working hard to be better.

I’m still young so will need you to help me know what to do.  I ‘sit’ and ‘shake’ and am learning ‘down’ ‘place’ and ‘off’.  Foster mom uses a Gentle Leader and we’ve had several great walks with it.  I’ve got long legs and like to run to get a ball.

If you’re looking for a forever friend with energy for playing and chilling out when done – I’m your guy.  If you spend some time training me to do what you want me to, we’ll have lots of wonderful memories together.

Oh Mandee, to quote Barry Manilow. Mandee is a spunky and gorgeous chocolate girl. 

Mandee was not potty trained when she arrived in our foster home, but she is now! She is also now crate trained and knows at bed time to go lay down in her crate and sleep until breakfast. Mandee loves to play ball, chew bones and is a typical energetic young lab.

Mandee is very food motivated and will do most anything for a treat. She is a also bit squirrel obsessed and likely think of them as another treat!! Her favorite place to be is sitting in the doorway just watching the backyard. She runs after the squirrels if they get too close and thankfully - so far - the squirrels are faster than she is. She is also on squirrel patrol when we walk, always on the lookout for them. After squirrel patrol, Mandee walks around to find/check on everyone and gives each a lick. Once she knows her people are all good, she is back on patrol.

Mandee enjoys sitting beside people for long pets and has even rolled over to have her belly scratched. This is a huge sign of trust for dogs. Mandee is also very vocal and barks in cadences. She has different barks for her different needs – food, outside, walk, etc… If she could just get the words out, it is very obvious she is trying to talk to us and has so much to tell us.

Mandee can be mouthy when she tries to play or tries to get your attention.  We have worked on correcting this behavior and redirecting her, and she will need continued work with this. She does well with our 11 year old but her mouthiness might be too much for very small children.

Mandee is a beautiful dog with lots of personality. She will need continued obedience work as she is a young lab and will be a fun, loving addition to most any home.

Hi there, Ivie here!

I'm super excited to tell you a little about me, my foster mom says I'm going to make someone or some family super happy!  Let me tell you some of the reasons why.  First and foremost, of course, I'm adorable. But there is also the fact that I'm crazy-smart, a fast learner, very loving, a great snuggler and very sweet. I'm also not a barker or escape artist. I guess I'm just pretty perfect.  I've very much enjoyed my time here with my foster family and their fun doggies but I guess it's time for me to find my forever home. So, put me on your list....remember, I'm adorable!

From Ivie's foster mom:  Ivie literally has everything I personally would want in a dog. We have two dogs ourselves – an Australian Shepherd and a Border Collie – whom we love very, very much. But even combined, those two goofballs do not possess all the attributes Ivie has. She's a great dog and will make a great addition to most any home!

Hey there friends, my name is Buzz, Buzz Lightyear!  I’m a hunky, handsome yellow boy and let me tell you, my name Buzz…it fits my personality!  I am electrified with energy!!! We don’t know much about my past, but that’s ok cuz we are looking at the future and it looks bright!  Here are some of the things you need to know about me. Being young, I still have many puppy behaviors that I’m ironing out. I’m still working on the housetraining situation, I use the dog door most of the time, but sometimes I just space out (get it…SPACE out?!). I am also still learning what is and isn’t a toy, you hoomans should really make this easier for us puppers! I like walks, and do ok on the leash if it’s rigged up smartly  I also like to fetch and just run, jump, play, romp, roll, shimmy, jive…pretty much any word you can think of for MOVE! Although I take some convincing, I am actually really good in my kennel once in there, it’s starting to feel like my safe space where I can relax and take a nap, sorta like your hoomans favorite chair! I like all sorts of chew toys, and may or may not launch them in the air when I really get going!

I don’t have a mean/aggressive bone in my body, but I can be a bit overbearing at times with my foster siblings.  They get all snippy with me when I’m just trying to romp and play, they can be real sticks in the mud! I have not been around cats, but based on my inherent curiosity for every creature I’ve seen in the yard, I would guess I would be very curious and probably want to romp!!  I have been around small children and I love them too…actually come to think of it….I love everything! I do still have a tendency to jump so I should be watched when around small children as I may not know my own strength quite yet! The good news is, the one command I have mastered is sit!  I know I have lots to learn and am SO excited to experience it ALL!

Short of the long, given time, training, attention and a LOT of activities to keep me busy, I’m going to be a really good boy. I look forward to meeting you and maybe, just maybe, we can go TO INFINITY, AND BEYONNNNDDDD!!

Buzzzzzzzzz Lightyear!!

Tawny here, I’m one lucky dog (actually one of hopefully 300 lucky dogs this year).  Somehow I found myself in a scary shelter. My foster mom feels like someone dumped me because I'm not interested in getting too far from my people. I must be pretty special because I went directly into a loving foster home.

There are 5 of us good dogs here and we all get along great. I am not crated here because there is a dog door and leave everything alone. I do not counter surf and would not dream of being destructive. If it’s not mine I leave it alone. The kitties are starting to interest me. They don’t run away so I don’t chase them but I do poke my nose at them and foster dad makes me leave them be. I am great on a leash and really love our walks in the neighborhood. I will admit I am an expert swimmer and would love to have a pool at my forever home. I am a real snuggler and love cuddling up next to my foster people when they relax on the couch. 

I just had a little eye surgery and am on the mend. I will be interviewing potential forever families soon so let the nice folks in adoptions know if you are interested in meeting me.

Farlee is single and ready to mingle! He is potty trained, uses a foggy door, crate trained, walks well on a leash ( improves with every walk) and loves to snuggle. He is working really hard on his manners and personal space awareness which he apparently was not taught this in his previous life. However, in the time we have had him he has learned sit and is working on down and stay. This guy will do anything for a treat! 

Farlee still has ALL of his puppy energy that is easily handled with two walks a day and a good game of fetch and this guy will make an awesome addition to any family.  Continued willingness to continue his training is key to helping him to become the best dog he can but he has a solid foundation and really loves learning and pleasing you. On and did I mention he loves to snuggle!!  

Side note: he loves his crate but we have started to leave the door open at night and he either sleeps in his crate or right beside our bed with NO issues! Farlee is SO AMAZING.

Howdy! My name is Paxton and I am a very handsome blonde boy. I love long walks, playing in the yard and snuggles, small people are pretty nifty as well. I get along with most other dogs but I’m not too sure about cats. I might try to take a sample and stand on my hind legs to see what is on the counters because it might be something yummy. I haven’t taken anything, but I sure do like to look. I should also be monitored with the trash can. Now that the truth is out we can be best of friends.

Hello my name is Bandit! I may have a few gray hairs but I still have a lot of energy and fun left in me.  I am doing really well with “Sit”, and “Stay” and will even do it when foster Mom puts my food bowl down. I get excited when we first go for walks, and will pull a bit on the leash, but after a couple of reminders I settle down.  I am house broken, ride well in the car, and I am pretty much past that nasty chewing stage. I love to play with all sizes of other dogs and lots of fetch. We are not sure about cats but our guess is I am probably okay since I do not have a strong prey drive.  I just like to hang out and get some love from you.

I am looking for my new home and hoping my Forever Family will show up soon.  If you think I might be the guy for you, just let the folks at DFWLRRC know!

Hi folks it’s me Tonie! (aka Tonie Baloney!). I’m pretty much your typical wonderful fantastical Labrador retriever you ALL know you want to adopt!  I’m pretty great overall. I’m potty trained and even let you know when I need out.  I know sit. I’m very well behaved. I LOVE to cuddle and give kisses. My tail wags A LOT.  I’m the perfect size.....not too big not to small. I love to play! I will go in the crate awesome.....but I have hung out in my foster home no problem, too. 

I get along great with my foster dog brothers and sisters. Basically, my foster mom calls me the “practically perfect” foster dog. I do love to get on the couch to snuggle though...cause I need close cuddles. So I really would prefer a house where dogs are welcome on the furniture. My foster mom says that if she HAD to say anything bad about me it would be that I HATE it when you touch my feet and I can destroy a stuffed squeaker toy in less than 30 seconds (but what fun-loving Labrador retriever wouldn’t, I say!). I was heartworm positive when DFW Lab Rescue found me in the shelter but they got me the awesome treatment I needed and now I’m ready for my new adopted family!!!  Get me on your list now....they tell me I will go fast!

Hi Everyone - I'm Zeffy!  I am a petite, little girl at only 38 lbs currently and am expected to stay "pocket sized" my whole life.  I'm a real cutie - at least that's what everyone who meets me says!  My prior owners loved me but had life changes and wanted the very best for me so I'm settling in with my foster family and dreaming of my new home while recovering from being spayed.

This resting is hard as I'm still a puppy and love to expore.  I really, really want to play with this big, goofy Lab that lives here and look forward to the day I can give him a run for his money!  Word on the street is that fetch is my favorite game.  Good news is that I am already crate trained and don't fuss about it (I may remind you I'm there or alert you to strange noises on occassion).  I do like my naps too.  Also exciting is that I know my name, come when called, have "sit" down pat and I can be lured into a "down".  I don't stay there long though....too much to see, too much to do!  I do have a few manners to work on such as keeping 4 paws on the floor and walking with a loose leash but I'm gentle and easy to handle due to my size.  I think I would be a star student at puppy school if you would take me!

I am healthy and all up to date on my vetting so it would be long before I will be interviewing.  If you are looking for an itty-bitty one, get me on your list quickly!

Hey there… it’s Jameson. My foster mom said I could post an updated bio so here it is. I am an incredibly handsome black lab and almost 75 pounds, but I am a bit on the skinny side. Lucky for me, that means more food (for now), which I find very appealing!!). I have been with my foster family a couple of weeks now and I am loving life. My foster mom says I am a pretty chill guy, but I do like to play with toys, fetch a ball and swim. As a matter of fact, I went from not swimming, to becoming a very enthusiastic swimmer (and diver) in a day. Pretty impressive don’t you think? I am giving my three foster lab
brothers a run for the money in the pool.

I have been left out of the crate when my foster parents were gone for a couple of hours and I did ok so my foster Mom was very happy! I also sleep on a dog bed in their bedroom. So far, the furniture is safe because I am not much of a jumper. I am not even sure how to jump up into the back of the SUV although I am nice and quiet on car rides. My foster mom says I am almost perfect. My one thing that makes me almost is that I was a tiny bit afraid of the fireworks. Frankly, I just needed to be assured that the world as I know it was NOT coming to an end!  All I needed was some attention and tummy rubs (awesomeness) and I was much better! 

I just had my heartworm treatment and that means I should be looking for my forever home around the first to middle part of August. In the meantime, here is a little video of me to watch over and over. I hope that if you like it, you might even want to meet me!

Hi my friends! My name is Doc and my foster mom says I’m very handsome, but I don’t  like to brag. I would like to tell you my story- it’s kind of a long one but I’ll keep it short. My journey started in Tennessee and somehow I ended up in a big truck in Texas! Right now I have three brothers that would like to play with me but I’m getting used to these Texas brothers and absolutely love my foster mom and dad. I fit real well in my foster daddy’s lap - I must have been a lap dog in my prior life. I like my crate and I do my business in the yard like any well trained doggy should. My foster mom says I’m laid back, as I don’t chew on things and don’t counter surf like some other doggies like to do. I do get excited when my foster mom and dad get home - I can’t help myself but I just have to jump up to say hello! I’m so happy to see them! Oh and by the way I love to chase kitties and chickens as I had lots of land to play on in Tennessee so it’s probably best to keep me away from those temptations.

My name is Roux, I am a 60 pound youngster and still growing! If I do say so myself, I'm very handsome. I am a true rescue dog. My story, well I was purchased by a family that had no business owning a dog. At eight weeks I was chained to a tree and left outside 24/7. I would still be there if it were not for an angel that drove by and saw what a pitiful life I was living. The story how she was able to get me out of there I will share with you at another time. This wonderful, sweet lady took me to her vet, and together they nursed me back to good health and have made me what I am today. Two months I lived with her and now she wants what is best for me, so she gave me to DFW Lab Rescue to find me my forever family.  I will never forget what she did for me.

Now I am learning basic manners and what it is like to live in a house. I love to ride in a car, I love walks in the neighborhood and I don’t pull. I sleep in my crate at night, love playing with the little kids that come over, and also love the other dogs I now live with. To be truthful, I still got a lot to learn.  I am still a youngster that has not been able to be a puppy until now. I am learning not to jump up, stay off the kitchen counters, little things like that. I love tennis balls, nylon bones, and chew toys of all sizes. You give me those and I will give you all kind of hugs and kisses.

I will be available very soon, so put me on your list fast so you may come and see me. Who will be the lucky family to take me home?!

This sweet, goofy, lanky boy will make you laugh when watching him run around in the yard. Jakz is a typical young lab. Playful, loving, and wanting to help with everything you do.

He loves to be near his humans and has shown to be pretty trustworthy for his age. He still is a work in progress, but is improving with leaving non-toys items alone. He is housetrained, but the kennel is another story. He will let you know that he isn’t happy so will need to continue working on that aspect of his training.

He will need to continue to learn the important details of being a house dog, but would benefit from having an older, playful pup to help teach him. Also having a human at home will give Jakz that extra attention that he loves so much.

Hi! My name is Emitt, I am super sweet, and friendly once I get to know you. I have had ZERO accidents at my foster home and I don't chew anything I'm not supposed to. I'm great at snuggling, walk well on a leash, and I think car rides are really fun. While I am super chill around other dogs when out and about, I am looking for a furry sibling in my new home. I respond well to my foster mom and dad's directions, even when my foster mom dresses me up! I had a rough couple of months in the beginning of my DFW Lab Rescue journey, but I am doing much better now. Few more pounds and I will be ready to go to my forever home!

Crosley is a sweet, affectionate and playful young and small pup.  She loves other dogs, playing, swimming and cuddling up on the sofa, floor or anywhere she can catch some ZZZ's and some love. She will lay loyally beside you or lick and play with your ears, hands, etc.  She is gentle and learning sit, down, stay, leave it and all the other important things dogs should know.  Crosley is mostly potty trained, smart as a whip and crates pretty easily (although she would prefer to be everywhere you are).  She learned the doggie door in record time!!

My name is Trey. I may look big, but I am a gentle big, people loving baby. I love belly rubs and morning walks. I walk well on a leash and am laid back, especially after my morning walk. I love carrying my red baby dog toy around during walks and I also love playing a gentle game of tug of war with it. I am house broken and know my basic commands. I am good with kids and will fit well in most homes (as long as I am given my mandatory belly rubs).  I'm not a huge fan of crates and don't need them. I also prefer to have my family all to myself. I am a little selfish like that right now. I sleep quite well on my dog bed next to the human bed and really just want to be near you.

You may wonder how a wonderful older gentleman came to need a new home.  Well, the answer is my other home had a child who has developed allergies to dogs. Of course this makes me sad, because we were very good buddies. So that means I need another great family, one that doesn't need a super energetic puppy or have other dogs but is happy to have a big, gentleman that will just hang out with the family and fit right in pretty fast. If you need a good buddy, let the folks at the resuce know ... hopefully, I'll be meeting you soon!

Sean Lee is looking to leave free agency and become a part of your team! He is a sweet yellow lab that needs a new start. Sean loves to shadow people around the house. Whether you are up and about or sitting down, he always wants to play ball. He will bring his toy to you to throw over and over. Sean loves to be outside. He is always up to tackling the tennis ball. He walks well on a leash and does well around other dogs. The one thing he will avoid is water. He is not a fan of the pool but does take baths well. Sean Lee is very interested in the cat. If she runs, he likes to chase after her. This is one of his favorite games, much to the chagrin of the cat. He will do best in a cat less house.

My Foster Mom says I am one of those labs with two different personalities. Calm and laid back in the house, loving to stay close to my people while getting their attention. Then there is the other side - I get REALLY excited about the possibility of going outside for a walk!  Oh, how I love those walks and my whole body just bursts with energy at the prospect. I am learning how to be a good boy on the leash and other manners. I am doing good, but will need reminders along the way because there is just so much to learn! I know “Sit”, and “Shake” and am getting really close to “down” and “stay”.  I am house broken, ride well in the car, and do not get on the furniture or jump on the bed with my people. I love to play with all sizes of other dogs & I will fetch that ball as long as you will throw it. We don’t have a cat at my new place, so we just don’t know how I will do with them.

If you want a dog to be active with, to throw the ball to, and to come home and lay by your feet - then I’m it! I am looking for a new home and wishing for my Forever Family.  If you think I might be the guy for you, just let the folks at DFWLRRC know!

Bonney is a very sweet and submissive Lab who deserves a chance to live the good life after a hard start. She loves to cuddle and just loves to love.  Did you notice her very sweet smile?  She would do well in a home with a nice large yard for running and playing.  Another sweet dog to play with would help boost her confidence and accelerate her progress.  Bonney is on the smaller side but could still benefit from some leash work for walking and her love of car riding. She has free run of the house and doesn't get into trouble; she's quiet and just likes to chill and cuddle with her people. Bonney is a little shy until she gets used to everyone in the home. She is non-reactive to cats and hasn't really engaged with the one at her foster home. This is just a girl that really needs a good family that will love her like she deserves and helps her to live her best Lab life.

Hi everyone - Pike here. I am what they call an owner surrender to the rescue because my owner became ill and is no longer able to care for me. I am not ashamed to say that I cried like a baby when I was led away, because I loved my people and my brother.  But this foster life is not so bad after all and these people have told me they will find me a great home. I have also found out all I have to do is whine a little and I can get most anything I want (interesting).

The last three months I lived in a high rise apartment in downtown Dallas. You meet a lot of people and dogs when you live downtown and I like people and dogs. I was good in the apartment and I was always trusted and never crated. I had a Lab brother that keep me company during the days my owner worked so if you have another dog, we can probably be wonderful friends.

I loved going for walks and I still do. I also love being close to my owner and now my foster. Now I am not able to sleep on their bed so I prefer the crate as a second choice. I go to the door when I need a potty break and I will sit and stare at my leash when I want to go for a walk. I've got good manners, rarely jump up on anyone, love the little kids, and the big and small dogs in this house I love to hang out with. I don’t care about chasing that tennis ball, every time I bring it back they just throw it again. The other thing I don’t like is watching them swim, and it makes me nervous.  I don’t swim, so if that is something that happens at your house you can just put me inside.  

So - if you want a good dog with no bad habits, then I’m your man! I am super low key and happy to just hang out.  Put me on your list now because I'm coming available very soon.

Initial Intake Notes:  Chocolate - Male - 68.8 lbs. Heartworm Negative.  available now 

Have you ever seen a bit of chocolate as yummy as me? The wonderful people who rescued me say I am about 1.5 years old but my foster family thinks I may be on the younger side of that number. I am as cute as I can be with lots of energy and curiosity like a youngster just getting to explore life. I have 3 foster sisters and brothers and the younger one plays with me until she gets tired, but the older ones aren’t that interested. I love other dogs and share toys and bones really well. If they will play with me, I am a happy camper.

The rescue doesn’t know my story as I was turned into the shelter as a stray but someone worked with me a lot. My foster family says I am really smart. I pick up on things easily and already knew sit, shake, down, roll over, and stay when I got here. I have a soft mouth and take treats well and would eat them all day if I could. I go in my kennel to eat and sleep there at night without making a peep. I also will go in during the day with a small treat incentive and will stay there quietly after eating, but not if everyone else is out and about! Did I say I ride well in the car too? The transport helper didn’t have to put me in a travel carrier and neither did my foster mom. I laid down in the back and rode like a champ.

I like my foster mom just fine, but I really love my foster dad and the huge teenage boys that live here. My foster mom says she thinks I was a guy’s dog at one time. Who knows – all I know is that I love living in this house and having a family take care of me, but I really want one of my very own. I need a patient family that understands I am still young and have lots of energy and love to explore. I know the command “OFF” because I hear it often. I probably would not do well in a home with super little kids because of my energy and excited play habits or elderly people, as I like to run up behind my foster family and grab one of their legs with my leg so they will stop walking away from me and play with me. An active family that likes to take lots of walks or wants a running partner may be the ticket for me as I am really good on a leash.

Could I be your favorite piece of chocolate?

Hello!  Sugar Bear here!  I am told that I am sweet and snuggly so it’s just the perfect name for me!  I am about 5 months old and 38 pounds.  I probably won’t be a great big lady lab when I grow up, but I will be a lady  for sure.  About that…I’ve missed out on some of my training to be a proper lady early in life, so I’m still having to catch up.  Foster mom says I’m a good girl though.   She says it alllll day long… so I guess I’m doing something right!   I can sleep in my crate all night long quietly.   I know to go potty outside.  I love love love to play with my toys and can entertain myself when I’m not playing with you or others.   So for a puppy I’m a pretty calm little girl.  And my foster mom says I’m really smart!  I can sit when she has a treat or a toy for me, and I am working on doing something when she says ‘stay” but that’s a really hard one!  I really like other dogs and have fun playing with whatever and whoever will play with me! Most of all I like PEOPLE and follow my people around like a shadow!   

I’m looking for a forever home with people that I can love and have fun with!  I will need them to help me be the best dog I can be !  Can’t wait to meet you!

Hi!  Brownwood here.  I am a tall, handsome fellow with a beautiful, shiny coat.  You might assume from my name that I might be a dull or mellow guy, but nothing could be further from the truth.  My fosters say I'm the happiest, friendliest dog they know.  Everyone I meet is my best friend and I am great around kids and other dogs too.  I am still young so I have a lot of energy and love to play with toys, especially the ones that squeak or make noises.  I enjoy walks very much, and my foster mom says I'm quite good on a leash, especially for my age. I don't mind being in my crate at all and sometimes, I prefer it.  My manners are pretty good as I don't jump much and I know some commands.  I can go all night without needing to be let out, but I still need to be watched during the day just to be sure I don't have an accident.  I'm looking for my forever family so if you like to give tummy rubs, I'm your guy!

Hey - Turner here.  Now that I've adjusted to the routine of a nice home, couple of square meals a day and playing in the house and backyard with my foster mom's pack, I'm ready to tell you about myself. I am a sweet, fun and handsome boy (have you seen my eyes!) that just wants to be with you. My foster mom says I'm a typical young guy with the overall calm temperment and energy for a guy way beyond my age. I guess that means I'm handsome and near perfect!

I'm completely potty trained, sort of crate trained (I would prefer not!) and a little on the smaller side. I love to chill, give kisses (sometimes a little too much) and walk pretty well on the leash (although there are lots of things I do want to explore). I can get a little excited when first meeting people and dogs and we are working on that.

I quickly learned to sit for treats, and I've always taken them very sweetly. I learned that counter surfing and picking up the occasional shoe is not the best manners and am 90% there on not mistaking non toys (pillows and shoes) for toys. I'm a smart guy and love training (especially with treats!). My foster mom says I am going to quickly be the most amazing dog for someone lucky! 

On the fun side, I love chasing and retrieving the ball and am beginning to think about the pool. I play well with other dogs but sometimes get a little too excited and the older dogs tell me to chill.  I know you want me (look at the eyes again!!) so be sure to put me on your list.  You will have a life long buddy and family member!

Hi there friends, I’m Captain Henry! I might be considered a little old, but don’t let that fool you, I still love to play and be active. With age comes wisdom and I’m a very smart boy. I have perfect house manners and although I am crate trained, I can be trusted in the house. I won’t bother your things, not even the counters or the trash! I have 3 foster dog siblings and we all get along perfectly, I even have 2 cat siblings but they don’t like when I chase them. My foster mom says I’m funny and sweet while being a perfect gentleman. I don’t really know how I ended up here but I keep hearing them say I must have been loved a lot because I’m a happy well-mannered pup. I really just want a family of my own to love again.

Hello wonderful people! Thank you for stopping by to read about me. I am a big (80+lbs) of goofiness’.  I love to play with anything I can find. I was raised around little ones, but foster mom thinks due to my size and playfulness, I should stick with the older kids (8+). Now that we have gotten the important stuff out of the way, lets deal with the real stuff.

I am house and crate trained. I love to fetch, doesn’t really matter what you throw, I will go get it. I like to be near you when possible, so close that bathroom door! I’m a pretty strong puller while on a leash, so foster mom is training me to use a gentle leader. There are 4 resident dogs here and I don’t have any issues with any of them. I would love to have some kids to play with, an active outdoors person(s) to take me places or plenty of yard space to run. I am an active boy that enjoys helping with whatever you might be doing. I’m no couch potato, I have never even been on a couch, so your furniture is safe with me. 

Can’t wait to meet my new forever family!

I am what they call a surrender and you ask why, no fault of mine but a long story I will share when you visit me. I have had a lot of
training and do a lot of good things. I walk wonderful on a leash, sit on command, come when called, ride great in the car, I sleep all night in my crate.

Now I am not perfect yet! I am working on some of the basic manors, like jumping on anyone walking in to see me. I love all people and dogs big and small, but bigger is better for me! I am a typical puppy, I have way too much energy. The good news is I love to play fetch and I am darn good at it. I need an active family that wants to continue my training and take long walks or maybe runs (when I'm bigger).

I have a lot to learn but I am a smart dog that learns fast and if I'm your girl - I will make you very proud.

Lila here, I’m in the market for a new family and I’m hoping this networking thing will help me out. I’m looking for an active household with a good sized yard full of squirrels. I enjoy exploring the great outdoors and feel that hiking and camping with my people would be the bomb!! I have the chasing the cats into the garage down to a science. I have three foster siblings and love hanging out with them but honestly prefer dining on my own. Here we have a pool and after my squirrel sprints I love standing on the top for a leisurely drink.

While this whole leash thing is somewhat new, I’m a motivated learner. Now I’m originally a country girl so I’m working on my city etiquette. Not sure why I can’t bark after dark or early in the mornings, after all there are cats out there! I don’t have accidents in the house and I’m happy to sleep quietly in the crate all night, besides I’m in the house in the AC and I’m part of the pack. 

As for other dogs, I’m a submissive girl not interested in challenging anyone here and think I would like one perhaps older dog in my new home to show me the ropes. Let my rescue friends know if you or any of your friends would like me to join your family.

Like that other Nixon said … I am not a crook.  What I am is one of the sweetest boys you will ever meet. I swear I was surrendered to have a better life and through no fault of my own.  I was loved and I'm a lover!

Are you home a fair amount? Do you need a home office mate?  I work for belly rubs.  I would stay right by you and help brighten your day.  I am calm and quiet when there is no action but hey, if you want to play fetch in the backyard, bring it!  I am energetic and I love to swim too.  A guy’s got to get his exercise after all.

I know the basics of “sit”, “lay down” and “come” and I have a gentle mouth.  In a very short time I learned that yummy food is delivered to my crate and it’s a soft place to relax.  I am new to leash walking too but I am catching on that pulling makes my foster stop or change directions – what's up with that?  With some additional training, patience and consistency, I will surely be a pro at this before too long.

I have lived happily with another dog briefly however some may not accept my size and energy. There is no cat in my foster home.  I did great with young kids at a recent Meet-N-Greet however doors and gates should be watched as I’m a smart and curious boy, and the world outside sure smells really exciting.

I'm looking for someone who will invest time in me. You will be rewarded double in return.   Ask for Nixon!

Hey everybody, my name is Chacco, and my foster mom calls me the perfect gentleman. I’m old enough to know all the things I’m supposed to yet still young enough to have fun and be silly. But most importantly I know how to love and be loyal. I get along great with my 3 foster lab siblings and I’m very interested in the kitties here. (Too interested for mom’s comfort.) I have excellent house manners and always go outside to do my business. I do like to follow my people around and lay at their feet but I don’t stick my nose in their business. I’m not a big fan of the crate but I don’t need it, I never bother anything in the house.

Foster mom says: Chacco is move-in ready and has been such a joy to have around. He is a very happy, well-balanced dog with an endearing personality. He loves to go for car rides and walks but does need a little work on the leash. He’s never chewed on anything, pottied in the house, jumped on the counters, got protective over food, toys or affection and rarely has needed any correction. His stunning good looks, affectionate personality and top-notch behavior is everything you could want in a Lab. Add Chacco to your list if you’d like to meet him and see what an awesome boy he is.

In need of a fur baby to snuggle with on the couch? Or to keep you company while doing chores? Or maybe a walking/running partner, this boy has the perfect stride. Murray would make a great companion for you. At 70lbs and underweight by 5-10 pounds Murray will have plenty to love on and he loves to be by you ready for that loving.

Murray is crate trained, housetrained, and working on basic commands. At night Murray sleeps in his crate and does very well. During the day, he is crated when I run short errands. When gone for a long period during the day, he has been allowed to roam freely, with no problems.

Murray gets along well with other dogs and is learning to retrieve a frisbee and ball. Even tug is fair game when there is more than one dog involved. He is unresponsive to outside cats, he prefers to check out the treats that they are getting.

Hi, my name is Pennie. I am quite possibly one of the sweetest, most lovable girls you could ever meet. I have no problem with my food, I always sit and wait patiently for my food but I do get excited when I know you are getting it for me. I love treats, especially soft ones .... so no hard bones, chew toys, or Kongs please. I just do not like them and they can hurt my mouth.

I will try to play tug-of-war with my blanket that I love to lay on, and I am all about a tennis ball! Whether we are playing catch or I get to chew on it. I also LOVE water! Sprinklers would be my favorite, if I had one. I like to chomp at the water. Out of the bowl is just fine too. I know where to do my business and I whimper to tell you if it is time. I can be a strong walker. I just like to see if every car is my ride. I love to meet new humans, other dogs don't bother me, and I get along great with cats. I am just looking for my forever home where I can join in on naps, keep your feet warm, and await your return eagerly whenever you step out - I am a well-behaved girl. One thing you might want to know, I have allergies. So, I need someone who could give me allergy medicine daily like my foster family does.  Other than that, I'm pretty nearly perfect!

May is a very special girl. She is a gorgeous petit chocolate lab who was used for breeding. She came to us being very untrusting of humans. 

May is very sweet but has a lot of fears.  She is afraid of wind, unfamiliar or loud noises, sudden unexpected movement and new people. Once she is comfortable, she relaxes some in your home but she very much gravitates to a few safe places where she feels comfortable. Over time, the number of places can increase but she will take some time to adjust to her new home. She isn't a big barker and has never chewed on anything inappropriate. She is crate trained but can also have free roam when you are home and is very calm in the house. 

May loves quiet neighborhood walks, but she is still learning to trust humans so is hesitant when meeting new people and does not go up to people to greet them quickly.  She will require a special adopter who will continue to challenge her and work with her to overcome her fears. She wants to go out on walks but will be fearful of things that are new to her - things like kids playing ball in the street or riding bikes too close, or new people or items near her that she is unfamiliar with.

Once she trusts you fully and identifies being near you as her safe place, she will sit on the couch with you or near you at the desk. May thinks there is nothing better than sharing your bed (if you allow) and she continues to make slow consistent progress. But the progress is slow. She is reluctant to go through doors so usually is leashed to go outside to do her business. Once out there, she can be let off leash and she will do her business outside. 

May would do best in a home where someone is home more than away and understands that May is a work in progress and that it will take time for you to gain her trust. A calm environment would be best. Kids would probably not be a good fit since she does react to loud noises and voices.  She would make a great companion to someone looking for a dog as a walking partner and to mostly hang in the house with them or visit quiet places. If you are looking for that social dog that can go everywhere with you, May is not going to be that dog for quite some time. She has come such a long way from that girl who shook uncontrollably that first day to where she is today and is able to go to quite places, where few people are and just hang out. She needs daily reinforcement to make sure that her confidence progression continues to move forward or she will not continue to progress.

May gets along well with other dogs and would do fine with another dog in the house, a quite confident and low energy dog is probably best or no dog at all. She shows no interest in the cat and very little interest in the puppy she has been sharing her foster home with.

I am Stitch and I am a super smart bundle of love and cuddles. I am leaning every day from my foster family and the dogs along the way.  I love to play and run around with my brother Spanky and anyone else and I am certainly showing everyone how good I am. I am getting so good on potty training and am great with my kennel to relax or sleep most of the night. I am working on great dog things like not jumping and climbing in my enthusiasm but am super curious, so I guess learning some manners & I am learning leash walking is very important. I love walks so much!  I am very quick to learn so am going to get all that nailed pretty quick. I am very confident and outgoing and just want to investigate everything but I am also very happy to curl up beside my foster mom and/or brother and snooze. 

My new family will need to continue my training so that I will grow up socialized and happy. I like other dogs and people very much! One small thing though -my foster mom does not have a cat so no idea what one of those is yet!

Here comes a handsome, young big boy full of love, energy and fun! Baja knows sit and down and is very well mannered in the house. He doesn’t beg for food, is not into counter surfing (although no one is immue to temptations) and takes treats very gentle from your hand. He is a dream dog par excellence. Baja loves snuggling, playing with other dogs, fetching balls, splashing in the doggie pool, playing in running sprinklers and most likely swimming too. He is a huge snuggle bug, but not jealous when you pet another pet. He will do great with children, but might accidentally knock smaller ones over, so children over 6 are probably best. Baja loves car rides and will quietly sit or lay down during the ride. 

Of course, being a somewhat young dog, he needs lots of love, training and attention in his new best friend(s)/family. Being new to his foster home, he does have a little separation anxiety. He doesn’t like being left alone and will let you know with a whine and high pitched bark, so apartments are probably not best. Someone who is home a lot and/or has another dog would be best as this guy is really very social.  He gets very excited and loud when meeting other people and dogs, especially outside and has an impressive, excited bark. But this guy loves people and other dogs and when he calms down is a really sweet boy. Baja is also a very strong boy and therefore, he will need to continue some leash training. Right now he walks his foster mom, and not the other way around. 

His behavior towards cats is unknown but we know he is not a fan of kenneling but the good news is, he is trustworthy in the house.  Baja sleeps nicely on a dog bed beside your bed and he figured out the sofa is comfy too. So you should have a spot left for him and you will find he will be close on your side no matter what you do!  Baja will make someone with lots of time and love a great companion!

Do you love a good Meatball? Looking for the kind of lab happiness a Meatball can bring you? This laid-back boy is looking for a soft loving place to chill and spend the rest of his years. Meatball has been an outdoorsman most of his life but now it’s time for him to enjoy the comforts & companionship of living inside with his family. Meatball is 9 years old, weighs 103 pounds and is up to date on shots. He would love to accompany his person on walks, which will help him lose a few excess pounds and help limber up those stiff joints. He has a thyroid issue that requires lifelong, inexpensive meds. He's a super endearing chap so he gets along with other dogs of all sizes & would be good with children.

Bathsheba is a beautiful chocolate female. She gets along great with our 3 big dogs, and she likes to play chase and tug-of-war with them.  She hasn't shown any interest in chewing anything, and doesn't jump up on people or furniture.  She's a velcro dog and just wants to lay down near you while you work or eat. She knows "sit" and has a gentle mouth for taking treats.  She's the short and stocky kind of lab.  She goes into her crate well, although cries a bit at first.  We have seen that behavior decrease, though, with just a few days of our routine.  She's a bit of a sloppy drinker! She hasn't met any kids yet, but we will update when that happens.

Hi I'm Leroy, I'm an handsome black lab and my foster mom says I'm gonna be one big boy!!! She even calls me her little piglet!  And wait till you see my paws!!! I love that she works from home and would thrive in another situation like this. I love to give kisses, get belly rubs and run in the yard! My foster dad trains hunting labs and said I would be good at that later as I love to follow you, sit and come when you call. I also love playing with my foster sisters. I am good with other dogs but I'm still a pup so I play rough sometimes. My foster mom is looking for a family with a stay at home component as much as possible. She says I need a fenced in backyard and loads of love which I will kindly return. So if your looking for a hunting companion or just a pup to love on I'm your man.

Bucky is a handsome boy.  He loves playing ball, being active and enjoys interaction with other dogs.  However, he would prefer to have you all to himself and says he likes cousins better than brothers and sisters.  That's because Bucky really loves his humans!  Bucky sometimes likes to try to be in charge, but just remind him that you are and he will do great. He will require consistency in his training but he has a bright future. He has the look of wanting to please in his beautiful eyes! Bucky is good on a leash but can be fearful in new situations and will require a slow introduction.  Bucky is probably a little too interested in cats however.

Bucky has been to training so he has some commands under his belt and is ready to improve. We think Bucky would do best where he has a job to do. He is crate trained, neutered and up to speed on all his shots.

Murl has spent time with a trainer learning some basic commands. He will need a structured home so asto continue with what he has learned. He walks very well on a leash while using a gentle lead and one is very highly recommended for him. He is kenneled trained, housetrained, stays off of the furniture, knows the “place” command, sit, stay, heel, and kennel. We are working on “drop” and “leave it”.

Murl is a 70lb playful boy who enjoys playing with balls and squeaky toys. He loves to play tug with a rope toy with either a human or another dog and he is also learning to play frisbee! Murl would do best in a home where a human is home most of the time and he gets very attached to his human(s). He can sometime get overly excited and probably should only be with children above 8 due to his excitement level.

Also no cats for this boy.

Hi Everyone!  My name is Hays.  I'm a typical playful puppy, but I'm chill enough to curl up in your lap and snuggle sometimes too. I would rather be hanging out with people than in a crate, but when I'm in there, I keep it clean. I am doing really well with the house training, but still need to be watched and let out regularly. Toys are the best and they keep me entertained, but I would still prefer to have someone to hang out with during the day, because I am such a social guy. I like other dogs, especially the ones who want to wrestle with me. Like most puppies, I chew on things I'm not supposed to sometimes, but I can be easily diverted with a toy. My favorite thing in the world is having someone rub my belly!  My foster family says I'm one of their favorites and I'm going to make a great companion!

Sweet Pea checking in! My foster says I am completely true to my name. I’m a sweet, sweet girl that has lots of love to give. I just want to hang right by your side, kind of like Velcro. I even give hugs! While a little on the shy side, I will warm up to you quickly. I am very, VERY calm, especially for my age, but I wag my tail a lot. I walk okay on a leash and am crate trained (but I don’t prefer those crates). I get along well with other dogs, as I am completely submissive and just want to be loved. I’m very gentle when taking treats and enjoy my food (in a good way). I am an excellent counter surfer, but for some reason my foster mom doesn’t praise me for that and I'm trying to give it up. I do love to carry anything in my mouth, but I don’t destroy things, I just carry them around. I know “sit” and love my dog bed, and am especially good at sleeping in it on my back. I’m housebroken and so smart that I use the dog door on my own!

If you want a chunk of “white chocolate” love, I’m your gal!

Hey everybody!  I’m Tink and I’m a fun, confident, happy girl and a bundle of energy!

My brother and Lilo and I are having fun at our foster parents house while we wait to find our forever family.  I’m a super smart girl who learned to use the doggie door the first day I came to stay with my fosters.  Now I go in and out whenever I like and have only had one accident in the house.  I’m learning to stay off the furniture in the house – that’s really hard but I’m learning fast. I’m happy to stay in the kennel whenever foster mom puts me in it.  And I often go in the kennel just to hang out, or take a nap. I keep my kennel clean all the time, even over-night. Like a typical lab puppy, I am super excited to see you and tend to jump up to love on you but we’re working on that.  I’m curious about what’s up on those counters cause I’m sure I smell something good.  But foster mom is teaching me to sit and wait for her to give me those treats.  I love playing with my brother and I’m always teasing him to chase me.  I’m am happy all the time and prance around with my toys and run and jump and play outside.  I like to be near my humans so I’ll bring my toys over and play at your feet while you watch TV or read the paper. 

My new family will need to continue to reinforce my manners and training.

My sister Tink and I are having fun at our foster parents house while we wait to find our forever family.  They have a doggie door and I've learned how to go in and out of it so I can go outside and play and do my business.  I'm doing great keeping at keeping my kennel clean both day and night.  Since the first day I arrived my foster mom started playing fetch with me and I love that game!  I go get the ball and bring it right back. I’m happy to stay in the kennel whenever foster mom puts me in it. I often go in the kennel just to hang out, or take a nap. I love to play and have fun but I really like to sit next to you or, preferably, in your lap to get some snuggles and love.  If you'd like to hold me, that's even better!  I love playing with my sister and chasing her and wrestling with her.

Look at that face! Griff is so happy to be in the sun and play with his 3 foster brothers. They run, chase each other, and then collapse after a hard day of play (see picture). This boy is a big guy with a big personality to match. He knows how to sit (for treats) and will shake hands. He is house trained, but definitely needs some puppy 101 training to refine his personality.

Griff will do best in a home with another big dog as he has lots of energy to burn. He would do best with older kids (teenagers) because he forgets how big he is and will knock a little one down. He is truly a warm, affectionate guy that needs leadership and training to help him be the best he can be. He can’t wait to find his furever home and work with you on becoming your best friend!

Macck is a sweet and extremely handsome boy and that is recoverying well from ACL repair. Macck is very loving and wants nothing more than to go everywhere with you, kiss you endlessly and eat everything you are eating.  He will sometimes bark when he is hungry (clearly his stomach has a clock and knows when it's dinner time!) or when he needs a walk.  He is not overly interested in toys, but right now we are limiting his access to them as we don't want him trying to chase anything.

Speaking of chasing things, Macck is very interested in squirrels and is very fast. He likes to chase things that run and will do so without a second thought.  That doesn't mean he wants to escape, as he is really great at hanging out next to you .... until that squirrel is too great a temptation.  Macck gets along great with other dogs and loves everyone he meets. He is OK with cats but he needs cats that rule the house, not timid cats that will run.  He does not, however like the crate and he is fairly trustworthy in the house (assuming there isn't something too yummy too near the end of a countertop) so crating is not required.  

Macck has learned sit and is working on stay, come (when in the house) and does great coming when called outside.  Once his leg is fully healed, he would love nothing more than to enjoy hiking, walking or most anything physical outside with you. Right now, he is limited to short walks and we try to avoid all squirrels and distrations on the walk. His activity will need to be monitored for 4-6 months so that he does not slip on slick floors and redamage that leg.

Please check back for Macck updates as he progresses on his recovery.

I have come a long way to join DFW Lab Rescue. I started my young life in Kentucky. It’s a long story, my foster mom will share if you and are are to meet but when I got here I was living in an apartment in an urban area that was quite loud and busy. I was overwhelmed with all the sounds and smells and really unable to focus on doing my business outside and learning some important things about being a good dog in a home. I’m a great natured guy, I was so and I was good in my crate and stayed pretty quiet, but outside was just too busy and overwhelming.

My new foster home is great. My foster siblings have taught me so much and I have built up much needed confidence in a short time.  I still stay in a kennel when the humans are gone. But I sleep on a doggie bed with the others at night and go outside when I want through the doggie door. I know all about walking on a leash but be patient with me if I’m still a little afraid of what we encounter out there.

My new family will need to continue my training so that I will grow up socialized and confident. I really prefer to live with another dog so they can also help me learn. I’m available soon so let the rescue know if you want to meet me. For my part, I'm learning as fast as I can to make up for lost time and be the best dog ever!

Who wants some cuddles? Appollo is a very sweet girl who will make a great family dog. She has a lot of pep in her step but will curl up in your lap at the end of the day. Any mention of outside or a walk gets her excited. She likes to play outside and as long as she is next to her humans she is happy. She just loves to sleep next to her human kids.

Appollo currently lives with one cat sister. She has no problems with her besides craving the cat food. She gets excited when she is around other dogs. She may pull a little on the leash but overall is a great walker. There is a great balance between energy and calmness with Appollo. She is very adaptable.

Overall Appollo has been one of the sweetest, most loyal, and loving fosters we have had. She is a great companion and aims to please. Please consider making Appollo forever yours!

Hi! My name is Mala, I like to spell it L-O-V-E. I was a single mom for a long time and loved all my pups but now I am ready to get all of the affection. I'm super sweet and love attention.  If you are lonely and need a loyal constant friend - CHOOSE ME!

I offer a sweet disposition, crate trained (although I'm not super crazy about it), vigilant watch for strangers, house broken and best buddy.

If you have a place in your heart (or the couch) for me, I would like to adopt you so we can hang out and snuggle together. #MalaisspelledLOVE

Clarice may have been a discarded breeder dog as it’s obvious her entire life, until now, she has either been pregnant or nursing. With very little opportunity for exercise she has little muscle tone in her belly. An enormous lipoma has been removed that was impeding her gait. This, as well as being heartworm positive, has set her 2019 fitness goals on hold. So far we have lost a couple pounds on her diet though. She is undergoing treatment to rid her of the heartworms and in the meantime she is the perfect houseguest. Clarice has the most lovely personality. Her tail never stops wagging and she follows us everywhere with a huge smile. This girl will make one lucky adopter a fantastic companion.
