Hello!  My name is Berri.  I have been through a lot and I'm really looking forward to meeting my forever family.  Sweet stability in my life would be awesome!

I know basic commands and my manners are pretty good with some room for improvement.  I love my toys and chewing on my bones!  Fetching is my all time favorite activity.  I walk well on a leash and love car rides!  And I'm potty trained!

I take a short time to warm up, but I have a lot of love to give.  Love to give kisses and get hugs!

Hi my name is Pierce! I am quite a handsome gentleman so I was probably named after Pierce Brosnan? I was found as a stray so I was a little timid at first but I am definitely coming out of my shell. My foster Mom has been taking me for walks every day at White Rock Lake and I love to meet all the kids, grownups and other dogs that walk by. I have made a LOT of friends out there. It’s amazing that I am still so young because I usually don’t tug at all on the leash (Unless there’s a squirrel…. but I mean really who doesn’t love to see a squirrel ?????).  We go a little further every day and I love to take a nap on my doggie bed when we get home.

I am fully potty trained, come when I’m called and don’t gobble my food. My foster mom says I am gentle and my manners are pretty darn good even though I don’t know any of those fancy tricks like sit, shake, or lay down (???). If you throw me something I love to go run and retrieve it but I don’t have the whole drop (???) thing down yet.  Are you up for teaching me? I’m ready to be the greatest dog ever!

Cypher is the sweetest! I can't say enough good things about this guy. He is a sweet and gentle puppy who gains more confidence each day. He has been a great walker and is getting used to all the sounds of a neighborhood - he even politely walks past all the ducks and geese at the park.  I can't say the same for the squirrels. Cypher is sensitive to discipline and food motivated so he is so easy to train! He is great with other dogs and loves to play. He is completely potty trained, knows 'sit' and will even sit while I get his food ready (without my prompting!).

Cypher is a little timid with new people coming into the house but we have been working on how to greet new human friends and he is doing better. His people will just need to continue to introduce him to new people, places and situations so he has more experience as he grows. He is an easy-going, laid back puppy who deserves all the treats, walks and adventures a lifetime can offer!

Hi, I’m Deidra! I’m a about the sweetest most gentle gal you could ever hope to meet. I’m a bit on the petite side and am a lady through and through.  I really love giving kisses, a lot!

I sleep in my crate all night long without any fuss, I just need a nudge to go inside of it (treats work best). I am food motivated so am easy to train and already learned sit and am working on others fun things.  I get along great with the 2 resident dogs here, one is my size and the other is smaller. I've met a couple of neighbor kids and gave them kisses immediately.  I walk well on the leash and I only pull if there are dried worms in the ground that I can eat and I especially like the crunchy ones.  I don’t think I would really like going on runs as I’m pretty laid back and am not really in too much of a hurry. Since I have spent a lot of my life outside, I don’t get on the furniture in the house.

We had some fireworks last night and although they weren’t my favorite thing in the world, I was not too bothered by them.

So if you would like a sweet companion, and you like receiving LOTS of kisses, maybe I am the one for you.

Greetings! My name is Camille! I am a beautiful chocolate girl who just desperately wants to be loved. I am very friendly to everyone, dogs and humans alike. I really love affection and absolutely melt if you pet me or rub my head. I am athletic and fetch is my favorite game to play! I am great at returning the ball so the kids can throw it again. Being outside is comforting to me and I have been known to even fall asleep in the grass while taking a simple potty break. I’ve been very excited to learn how to walk on a leash outside and I walk very calmly already!!

Since I was used to being outside a lot in my prior life, I am still working on being 100% consistent with going outside to use the restroom, but I’m learning quickly and love praise. I have become much more comfortable with my crate and have been sleeping in it through the night! My foster family is so proud of me!! Did I mention that I love food? I am very attracted to the trash can and my humans when they are eating, so they’re teaching me some proper manners that puppies need to know.  

As long as I can be near my foster family, play with another doggie, and have toys to chew on, I am very content. I will make my future family very happy!

Hey! This is Remmington, what is up?! I am the cool, fun pup in the bunch! I may not be the biggest of all my siblings… but I am FULL of personality! I like attention and prefer to be the center stage - but only after we have properly gotten acquainted. I can be shy at first, but I warm up over time and once we know each other well - I'm very fun and full of personality. I run fast, jump and roll and like to put on a show! Really, I’ll do just about anything to get a laugh out of you. When my gas is running low, you will notice I slow down. All it takes is a belly rub and then I am down for the count! The humans say they love petting me because I have the softest coat, and you know what - I ain’t complaining! It won’t take you long to realize how much love and laughter I have to share!

Beaver is your typical, young puppy. He loves to play, eat, and snooze. He is working on his puppy 101 skills, but is an eager learner as he loves treats! He is also quite the photography subject...very cute.

He probably would do best in a household with no children, or older children who would understand that puppies like to bite and chew on EVERYTHING and puppy teeth are very sharp! He gets along great with his 4-legged foster siblings, but is untested around cats. If you can’t handle the puppy cuteness, be sure to put in him on your list. He probably won’t last long!

Hi there, my name is Davey. Sometimes they call me Air Davey because of high leaps when catching a ball.  The animal control people found me and, having no ID, cash, or permanent address, picked me up on a vagrancy charge. I don’t know why or how long I was on the streets, but I was so hungry the jail food tasted like leg of lamb. It was very scary in the shelter. I waited and waited for my owners but they never came for me.  

Finally, some guy from an outfit called DFW Lab Rescue bailed me out and took me to the vet to get fixed up. As luck would have, after weeks in boarding, the fellow that freed me from the shelter took me home to foster me. I love my foster family, including their big yellow lab Bailey, but I know that I must move on. I still have puppy energy but they say that I’m getting better every day. If you give me a chance you won’t regret it.

From Davey's foster:

Davey was malnourished and HW+ when rescued. His ribs and backbone were noticeably visible and his coat was scruffy. His nails were so long he had difficulty walking. Life was pretty tough for him before coming to DFW Lab Rescue. Today, Davey is healthy and energetic and he looks it. He has filled out nicely and his coat is beautiful. His house manners have improved immensely but still needs a bit more work and patience as he matures.

Davey is housebroken and walks reasonably well on the leash. At about 65 pounds, he’s neither too big nor too small, making him fairly easy to handle. He is not a jumper or digger and doesn’t chew on anything that does not belong to him. Davey is a rough and tumble guy with a fun personality who needs lots of exercise. He will chase a ball far longer then most people are willing to throw one. He also loves playing with other dogs. Davey seems to really like children too although he could unintentionally knock a toddler down. What Davey wants the most is a buddy to play with and love.

Anyone looking for a perfectly mannered, slightly older gentleman to be their companion while watching TV, taking naps, going for walks?  Then Tobey might be your guy. He is a little older fella who spent his entire life (since 4 months old) with the same family. Because of their age and finances they are no longer able to take care of him. He has grieved the loss of his family but is now ready to move on to a new forever home. He is totally housebroken (uses a doggy door if you happen to have one), doesn’t chew inappropriately, doesn’t even try to get on furniture, and most importantly, loves all people and dogs.  We don’t know his experience with cats. He probably didn’t get the exercise he needed in the past as he’s overweight. In the time he has been in rescue, we’ve cut back on his kibble and he enjoys walks. Although he’s only lost a few pounds so far, he’s running to the fence to chase away those pesky squirrels on HIS fence.

My name is Doogie, and I'm still a puppy - why do I say that? My old family didn't like all of my puppy energy, but I just love to play tug of war and to go on walks! I'm looking for a family that likes the action and sports lifestyle. I'm crate trained, but it may take me a little bit to get used to a new one. I do well with other dogs but I may need to be introduced slowly over 30 minutes. I may be too much for little children because I get so excited I sometimes run into my humans. I would be great with older children or teenagers though! I am a polite eater, house-trained, and do not jump. I can't wait to meet you!

This gentle giant has the happiest disposition and loves his people! His calm, quiet personality makes him such a treasured companion for those that like to snuggle and gain an occasional kiss.

Bradie completed his heartworm treatment earlier this year and is now learning to play chase with his two foster sisters. He’s given us the gift of seeing a playful side starting to shine through as he begins to trust more with each passing day. Even though he was picked up as a stray, he is well mannered and knows some commands. He is crate trained and can sometimes be found just hanging out in his crate. He has enjoyed full run of the house while we are away and can often be found relaxing by the door awaiting our return.  He’s extremely content being by your side either indoors or out. 

If you’re looking for a happy-go-lucky companion that loves belly rubs, has an inquisitive nature and knows his manners then Bradie is the one.

Hi  I am Bayer and I’m a PUPPY! Not to brag, but everyone says how handsome I am. Plus I’m friendly and outgoing so I have that going for me too. I have a LOT of energy and I am really excited to meet everyone so I might jump at first but I am really sweet. My love language is KISSES. I could give them all day. I know how to sit, and stay (unless there is a chance to give you a kiss). As I said, I am still a puppy and a little goofy sometimes but I am completely potty trained and think that my crate is a nice place to hang out when no one is home to play with me. I am well behaved in the car, and on a leash so lets go for long walks in the park, short walks around the block, next door to say hi to the neighbors or maybe we just run in the backyard? Are you active and like to play? If so - we are going to have a great time together. 

Who is a Good Boy? My foster Mom says its ME!  Did I mention that I like kisses?

My name is Caycee, I am one beautiful lady and I weigh in at 67 pounds, not an ounce of fat on me. I am one of those very short hair labs that don’t require any grooming, very low maintenance. I came from good home that I loved very much but my owner had to give me up, not for
anything I did as far as I know. I am very good in the house, just leave my crate door open so when I am ready I can go to bed, you will not hear a pep out of me until you say it is time for breakfast. I am good with small or big dogs, I am good with little people, I love them all. I still get excited and jump up on the incoming guests but when reminded I do behave myself. I'm pretty good on a leash but have to be reminded not to go too fast and I'm good on all other commands except stay (still working on that one). I am an active dog when outside, I love to fetch, but don’t even think about it when it is 95 degrees, I will fetch one time and you will not find where I have hidden the ball. If you are interested in a good dog, they just don’t get much better than me!

Babye is a beautiful & sweet girl that is still working on figuring it all out. She is learning how to properly play with other dogs, improving on walks, learning what she can and cannot do in a home ..... she is just learning.  She will need a family that understands that diamonds take time and pressure (in this case - consistency and structure) and she will be an amazing dog. She has a great lab disposition.

Having come to us after being a stray, she is was skinny and didn't know how to ride in a car or introduce herself properly to people or dogs. But Babye is smart and learning what no, down, sit and stay all means. An active family that will continue her training will be all Babye needs to make your home, her home and become your best friend.

Hey!  My name is Cotter and I am ALL puppy!  Who wants to play ball with me?  I love chasing the ball and bringing it back to my foster parents.  They are trying to teach me “drop it” so that I can chase the ball again and again.  I’m a pretty smart puppy!  I’m doing well with the re-fresher of house training and I know sit.  We’re working on off, down and quiet.  The other day when it rained, I loved running and playing in the puddles in the backyard! I don’t mind running around playing with the ball in the rain either!!  It was fun! 

I’m a good boy and I go into my crate at night.  But I would prefer that you wait until it’s time for the lights to go out or I will keep chatting with you until you turn them off.  I’m very curious when going on walks and learning not to pull.  My foster family has 2 boys to play with and 2 dogs to play with who are also from DFW Lab Rescue. I love getting attention and will try and steal it from the other dogs and kids.  My foster parents say I’m going to be a great addition to any family!!

I’m Sundance, a handsome boy who adjusted to my foster home and people in a few hours. I’m happy, playful and affectionate. Like most labs, I want to be with my people. I don’t want to stay in the backyard by myself, I want to be with the family. I love to chase tennis balls and am learning to catch and bring them back to be thrown again. I love the 3 year old grandson that comes to play, although he doesn’t appreciate all of the kisses I give him. I am housebroken and crate trained, but I would rather sleep on the bed with you.  I like to explore the backyard and to chase squirrels and rabbits (I haven’t caught one yet.)  I am energetic and like to run and jump. I walk on a leash but like to walk out in front; I get excited and distracted when I detect a rabbit or squirrel. I  need a 6 foot fence because I can jump really high! I am friendly with the neighbors dogs and I am not a barker. I’m not sure that I've met any cats so not sure how I would do with them.   

I look forward to being a great family pet; especially one with kids.

My name is Tigger and my foster family says I am so handsome and cool.  My favorite human is a 14 year old boy who plays fetch with me a lot and takes me on walks/runs to get my energy out each day. Apparently, I am a prince on a leash! My foster mom also says I’m the best car rider she’s ever had, so I’ve also got that going for me. My other abilities that seem to thrill everyone include knowing Sit, Shake, No, Drop It (sometimes I have to ignore them on this one, because I just don’t feel like dropping it at that moment), Crate, and I’m happy to say that I am completely potty trained.

I’ve been working with a trainer for the last 10 months. I do have my bursts of energy from all of this pent-up puppyness still inside of me, but if you help me understand my boundaries, all I want to do is please you. Foster mom says that I do best with older kids since I don’t understand how big I am, and obviously, I prefer someone home as often as possible. I like to sleep beside my fosters while they work from home all day. I also get along great with ALL doggos! Not sure about cats, I’ve never met one. Oh, and I love to chew - lots of chew toys are a prerequisite!

I really want to be a great dog, and I just have SOOOOO much energy. My trainer says I might be a good duck hunter (and she trains hunters too). 

I hope we get to meet soon.  I’m ready to love someone forever.  How about you?

They call me Willy not because I’m silly! I’m on the smaller side (55 pounds) and I do not understand social distancing! Snuggling with my humans is what I love to do. I’m learning how to relax but sometimes it’s hard since I spent so much time outside alone and on guard prior to being rescued.

I was a sloppy drinker but my foster mom got me this cool bowl, NO SPILL DOG WATER BOWL, that keeps me from getting water all over the floor. I’m sure she will tell you where she got it. I really love food and eat out of a what they call a slo-bowl. It also would be a good idea to keep the trash locked up and your kitchen counters free from food or a gate works great to keep me out of the kitchen when I’m not supervised. It might take me a couple of weeks to feel comfortable and settled so please remember to be patient - this really good, loving family stuff is all new to me.

I would really love a home with lots of humans to give me attention and keep me exercised. I like other dogs and I’m not sure about cats because I haven’t been around any at my foster home. I like to play fetch and sometimes tear up my toys (doesn't everyone?). I stay in a crate when my foster parents leave or at night when I go to bed. I’m ready for my new forever, forever, forever home.

Hi!  I'm Binggo and I am a fun loving and happy lab. I like to play around a lot which helps me burn out my extra energy as my parents are hunting dogs. When first came to my foster family, I was a bit anxious but found myself right at home very quickly. I am friendly, loving and a bit bigger for my age. I like to play with everyone, love frequent petting and scratching too. Please don’t mind if I follow you, lick you or get excited. I just need your time and love. I love food but my family is helping me watch my calorie intake so that I don’t get overweight!

I'm not super excited about car rides yet as I am still a little scared that I may be going to a new place and won’t see my family members again. I am very good in the house and understand basic commands like SIT, STAY and Let’s go. I understand “NO” too. My foster family is taking me out every couple of hours to potty train me and they are very happy to report that I haven't had any accidents in our home.

I would prefer to be around my family at home but won’t mind daily walks. I am good with the leash and recognize my name well. Once you look at me, see how loyal and obedient I am....I know you just want me around you.

Hello, my and is Anngell. Unfortunately I became a surrender, because my owner became terminally ill. He wanted the best for me so he reached out to DFW Lab Rescue to find me a good home. I was in the process of training to become his next hunting partner; however I was never able to complete the class. The good news is I completed the basics of being a good Lab. I come when called, sit on command, crate when told, and walk gently on a leash. I am house trained, can be trusted to be left in the house alone. I am good with big and small dogs, love people but still can’t resist jumping up. I may bark at a stranger entering the house but once I know they are welcome I settle down quickly. I am a motivated retriever of anything you will throw and I never want to stop so best to place on the shelf if you want to rest. I have an excellent nose and I can find the tennis ball where ever you hide it!! I can also smell something good to eat so best not to place food too close to counter edge.

If you looking for a good dog that will always be at your side, you will never find anyone better than me. You looking for a hunting partner? I have one
confession I never told anyone, I can’t swim a lick! .... I am staying on dry land, thank you very much.

Augustus here!  My foster family calls me all kinds of fun names - they think I am the absolute cutest pup around. I have a strong affinity for naps under the couch, dangling pj pants, relaxing in shady places, and chasing my foster kids around the backyard.  I like to play, but don’t love being held....I am just complying with social distancing, but can be persuaded with yummy treats or belly rubs. I know how to sit on command and am doing great with crate training and potty training!  I am a super fun puppy and can’t wait to find my forever home.

Hello there! I’m Saydee and I just KNOW my perfect family is out there.  It may take a bit of time for me to trust though. Now that I’ve gotten to know my foster family I am very happy to hang out with my 4 legged foster sister.  I have met a couple of dogs in the neighborhood (big & small) and I don’t have issues with any of them.

My perfect home would be with people who need company, because i am REALLY good at that. I like to be right by my foster mom. She gives the best chin scratches!! I like walks and do well on a leash and I am just figuring out the whole toy thing. I like squeaky balls and treats (of course)! There is also an 11 year old human boy here and I really like to sleep with him. He is sneaky and let’s me sleep on his bed! (Shhhhhh!)

I am sure to be super sweet to all of the people I meet, young and old alike. Maybe you will be my family?!

Hello World! My name is Neava, and I am a fun-loving, spunky, out-going puppy. I love everything and everyone I meet (big people, little people, cats, dogs, butterflies....). I am sweet and affectionate and love to be near my people, but I also love to go explore. I think I am a big dog and I try really hard to keep up with my four-legged foster sister.

Hello all! I'm Macaroni and I'm in search of my furever home! Been staying with this awesome guy and his pup for a bit but ready to start the interviewing process so please bring your A-game. It might take me a few minutes to get acquainted but I'm super sweet to every dog, human, and those things you call kids. We are working on my kennel training but I'm getting better and sleeping in it every night. I like to keep my figure so food motivation is something that has escaped me...till now. This guy gives out some pretty good treats so I'm showing more interest on eating a bit more. I'm great on a leash so long walks are best for burning those extra treat calories. 

Not sure if you saw my pic, but I'm officially a lake dog! No boat needed but I can tie a knot and be your best deck-mate should you need one. I'm told I may have had a rough past but my outlook on life exemplifies a positive attitude! Trust and patience is the name of the game and if you earn mine you will have a second shadow following you everywhere. If only just to sneak in a kiss. 

Ask to contact this guy I'm staying with for additional questions you might have. He tells me I'm one of his favorite fosters and that my new family will be going through a thorough interview process if they intend on parting me from him. You will be expected to take tons of pics and send updates as needed.

Thank you all! Good Luck! 
Macaroni

Miss Posey is a lover! She loves to snuggle and give hugs. She interacts well with other dogs and would make a great addition to any family.  When she came to us, it was evident her prior owner had not worked with her on any of the basic commands. In the short two weeks she’s been with us, she has learned “sit” and “off”. She still needs some of that basic training, but she is a willing and quick learner.

Handsome larger guy with wavy brown hair seeks human companion. I am looking for a lifetime commitment this time around. So, a bit about me…  I am a HUGE foodie. I think about food almost every minute of the day. I like my three lab roommates, but smaller dogs and cats are just not my thing. Now we come to the deal breaker, kids. I love kids and I am great with them, but I love the food that kids have in their hands too. I mean I really, really love it. Due to this, I think it is better that those temptations are not put in my way. My official stance is no kids under 12. I also like to take walks and take naps. Nice long naps. Naps by your feet are even better. Really, I am just a chocolate teddy bear of a guy. I am still young and ready for new adventures. Some might say, I am a great catch. It this all sounds good to you, add me to your list. Hopefully, we will get a chance to meet and maybe fall in love soon.

Phoebe is a sweet, petite puppy learning all the things that puppies need to learn....like how to always do her business outside (#2 is down great, #1 still has a little bit to go); how to stay in her crate when we leave the house; how to not bite hard; how to play appropriately and only chew on things that are made to be chewed on; etc...but she is doing great at all that!  She is a very brave girl and not at all shy!  She is bold and an explorer. 

Phoebe can make it overnight in the crate but it's a bit of a stretch and it's quickly outside when she wakes up. She is pretty good about sleeping through the night but is not overly excited in the crate and would rather be in the bed with you.  Phoebe is not a big eater and prefers you are with her and reminding her to eat, there is a lot to do for a puppy and she is easily distracted.  So if you have other dogs that would be tempted by her slow eating...you may need have a little work on your hands to monitor that situation.  Phoebe is going to grow up and be a great dog, she's super sweet and fun to love on!

Rupert is a handsome fellow with his beautiful coat and colorful, piercing eyes!  He's a big boy, weighing in at close to 100lbs, but this gentle giant would rather be on the couch next to you or on your lap than anywhere else. Don't let his serious expression fool you...he's a super happy, mellow guy who loves being around people.

His manners are quite good. He isn't a jumper and only chews on things he's supposed to. Rupert will need the really tough toys as he can destroy the flimsy ones in record time! He doesn't counter surf and is pretty good on a leash. He gets along well with other dogs and humans of all ages. The crate is not his favorite place to be as he's rather be with the humans, but once you get him in, he's content.

Rupert loves treats and knows several commands. He is very expressive with his paws and has the cutest "begging" pose, which you can see in the photos.

This big guy has been through lots of changes in the past few weeks. Rupert had a mass on his leg removed that has turned out to be a very slow growing cancer. We have had him with an oncologist who does not believe any treatment is necessary and confirmed it has not spread to lymph nodes. He should remain on a daily dose of antihistamines but has received a great diagnosis and has lots of love to give for his stable, forever home!

Rustee here…I am a young chocolate boy with the most adorable white patch on my chest. My foster family are total rookies with dogs, but I sure do love them well and have been super easy on them. They tell me ALL the time what a good boy I am. I have the perfect combination of playful puppy, with the benefits of being house trained and am overall a very obedient pup that loves to hang out and chill with my people. I am a super fast learner!  Once in a while I sneak a shoe or try to chew my dog bed, but overall, I “leave it” when told and don’t mess with things that aren’t mine. I don’t love going in my crate, but I tolerate it well once I am in there. I am not a barker and would rather give kisses - and occasionally a puppy nip but I am learning to be gentle. I absolutely love being outside and would love a yard to run and play in. Soccer is my favorite sport so far and I would really enjoy a family with kids. My foster family has three kids aged 6 to 11 and we have the best time!  They says kids older than five would probably be best as sometimes I get a little excited and jump, but mostly it’s because my tail is quite whippy for the folks on that level. It could leave a mark!  I truly am the sweetest pup and am ready to bless your family with love and kisses. xoxo

Hi!  Abbey here - my foster mom says I’m like a blossoming flower. Each day I learn a little more, then someday, I will be in full bloom. I love to give puppy kisses, laying in your lap and being next to you. I play with my sister and chase the resident dogs around. I have learned how to use a doggie door, and am working on housetraining. I am also learning about what this “No” thing is. I am not much of a fan of being away from everyone, crating is difficult on me because I love to be at your feet. With continued training, I am sure I can learn to adjust to being in a crate when you need me to be.

I am looking forward to meeting my new family soon.

Hi, I usually let the labs speak for themselves but Zozo is a bit quiet, so she asked me to write her bio instead. Zozo is an almost white colored lady. She is so sweet but also very shy. When I first met Zozo she took a bit to warm up to me but with patience and love, I have watched this girl start to bloom. In our home she does great. She gets along with her three lab foster brothers. She has learned to eat like a normal lab, but she still prefers to eat away from the craziness that is our three guys. She knows several commands and is crate and house trained. She also loves to get tummy rubs and sleep on the sofa. She is quiet and doesn’t chew on anything. She even has learned to swim!

She sounds perfect right? She really is with one caveat; she is very shy with new situations. We have worked hard with her and she is so much better. She will usually run outside when the other dogs go out but sometimes, she needs to be reminded it is ok for her to go outside with them. Zozo takes walks but
a stranger may make her hesitant. Walking with our dogs makes her more confident though. She is a flower that is slowly blooming and if you have the patience, she will hopefully fully blossom into the most wonderful girl. Zozo has won our hearts and I know she will win your heart too.

Please enjoy this new video of Zozo!

I'm a quiet boy who is getting use to my new surroundings - I was previously an outside dog so this house thing is pretty cool. My foster parents say I'm adjusting well to my new life on easy street!! 

In my spare time, I enjoy looking out the window, playing fetch and getting pets. Since this is my first time in a home, I am a little shy but still provide a lot of attention and love. I walk well on a leash and cars bother me less and less everyday. I am house and crate trained and only whine to let you know I'm awake and ready to play!

Bellisima is a very outgoing, trusting beautiful girl. Unfortunately, her previous owners needed to move without her and her brother, leaving her in foster care without her brother. Bellisima would work best with a family that already owns a dog and lives in a home with either a big yard or a pool. Her foster family has loved playing fetch with her in their pool. She is well-trained and understands how to politely eat and politely communicate her needs to her foster family. Both the vet staff and the foster family note that Bellisima will run off without being leashed. This girl needs an outlet for energy as she is a little on the chonky side and will need to have her weight watched. She is a lovable, licking, belly-rub-wishing, kind of dog who can fit into any growing family.

My name is Kale, I was an owner surrender. How did that happen? Well when you have a lot time I will explain, but not because I am bad. Fact is you will not find anywhere a sweeter dog than me. I love all dogs, big and small but most of all I love humans. Take me to the dog park and I spend all my time going from one human to the next till I find one that gives belly rubs. I was raised around little kids and they are my favorite, I know how to lay gently because I am a big guy. I am house trained and I can be left alone in the house for ten hours, I always wait by the door you go out. I don’t need a crate, just place my bed next to yours and I am happy. You bring in a bunch of people for dinner - no problem! I will greet everyone at the door and then find a place to chill out till they leave. I am good on my leash, don’t counter surf, I come when called, only bark when the door bell rings or you accidently lock me outside!  

Just so you know, I have had two ACL surgery’s to repair both back legs, I may walk a little bull legged but don’t let that fool you. I'm practially a bionic dog! If I see a squirrel, I can still bw very fast in a ten yard dash - but that is about as far as I will run. I may not be able to fetch like I once did but show me a pool and I can swim until you tell me to get out.

I've got a lot of love to give and I will be the best dog you have ever had. I'll be available very soon.

Maye is the sweetest girl in town! She loves to lay around and cuddle, but also enjoys going out to play with her foster dog sisters. Maye is potty trained and crate trained. She is great with other dogs. She does fine with cats, although they mostly steer clear of one other. Maye is smart and picks up on commands quickly. We are working on "off" right now because she always wants to be near you. Maye loves to play ball, but is still struggling with the fact that you have to bring it back. Haha! She has never chewed up anything that wasn't a toy of hers and has not been witnessed jumping on counters. She is enjoys being outside chasing butterflies and shadows. Any family would truly be so lucky to have Maye. She is the full package!

Howard is the name and easy is his game!

Howard is a sweet, big, gentle giant. He was adopted from DFW Lab Rescue as a puppy and was a true and faithful friend for 8 years. But life happens and Howard's family have a small child and another on the way. While he loves kids, very small ones are not always best at understanding how to interact with a dog his age and size. Howard also gets along with other dogs, although he does best with non-Alpha dogs. Howard was raised on a no furniture policy - so despite my many (and I mean many) attemps to get him on a couch or bed, I am not really successful.  If he will get up for a quick snuggle, it is a very brief period.  Howard is a big love bug and will put his head and paws in your lap and is a velcro dog that follows you everywhere.

Howard is great on a leash and would love a family that loves to take good walks! He wants nothing more than to play with his family and just hang out being good company. Howard does great in my home and has settled in very easily. He has also adjusted to puppies in the house for a little while and he loves everyone that comes over to meet him. He would be good for older kids, age 6-8 and up.  Howard is looking for the next family to share his sweet love and devotion.  If you are interested in a good walking and relaxing buddy - Howard is your guy!

An Interview with Trixie Girl

Hi TrixieGirl - You have been showing up in social media lately and gaining attention. We hear you are healthy, strong, sweet & soft. It goes without saying you are beautiful with the most soulful eyes.

Q - Can you tell us more about You?

TrixG – Yes, of course, I had the cutest litter this year and successfully weaned off my beautiful pups. I easily recovered from spay surgery and regained my own youthful ‘tude; after all, I’m still a youngster!

Q – Tell us about your loves, hobbies and talents?

TrixG – I’m curious and love ALL living things. I tend to sit in the window and watch all the activity.  But of course, I get to join the outside world on my walks and have the run of the backyard to investigate nature. I get along great with my humans and doggie peer. I’m way into all toys and playing fetch is my passion. I have never had interest in chewing other items like furniture or shoes. I’ve been told that I’m faster than a speeding tennis ball and it’s so true! I have the Pilates/runner body to show for it. At the end of the day, I love dinner and snuggles. Sure, I’m tall, but can curl up anywhere especially if I can get human attention and hugs.

Q – Do you know tricks?

TrixG – Only 2 weeks ago I did not know any tricks but since then, I’ve conquered sit, come, outside, wait, fetch, and off. I’m making pretty good progress on: down, no, leave it, out of the kitchen and heel. Hey, I'm smart and open to learning more new tricks soon.

Q – Have you thought about a career and where you want to be in the next few weeks?

TrixG – Love my human adults & doggie companionship.  I guess I’m great at city life, but I got to visit the country and loved sprinting and exploration too. I have the temperament for children & puppies & maybe cats since I’m soooo tolerant. I think active days with ‘loungey’ cuddle nights with an outside area to explore would be my ideal home. Career-wise, some light security work, exercise coach, or window watching. I’m pretty sure I have the gene for duck or squirrel hunting LOL. I think swimming would be fun too. When you have these paws; it has to be natural but I don’t jump into swimming pools so I’m waiting for a lake test.

Q – Are you available to meet soon?

TrixG – Yes, just check my profile on the details!  Kisses!

Juene is a beautiful shiny coated English style Lab.  Her previous owners found Juene's beauty and intelligence to be such an attribute she was utilized as a breeder dog. A very kind woman adopted Juene from the breeder in November and very soon after it was learned that Juene had not received the appropriate heart worm preventative from the breeder and was found to be heartworm positive. With the need for expensive heartworm treatment, and a spay, the kind woman asked DFW Lab Rescue to step in.  Juene has done remarkably well following her heartworm treatment.  She is scheduled to be spayed over the next few weeks and should be ready for her forever family and home soon.

My name is Hopper and I arrived at my foster's home when I was three days old, along with my siblings & mom.  My foster mom and her kids were very worried about me at first, as I was tiny. They even bottle fed me a few times just to make sure I was ok. Today, I am strong and mighty!

Sweet Hopper has definitely filled out & become a very confident & independent puppy.  He likes having his own space and is the only one who actually sleeps alone on the perfect little bed made for him.  Hopper is also the outspoken one in the litter and has no problem letting his siblings know when they’ve crossed the line from playing to being a bit rough.

To ensure Hopper's success as an adult dog, there should be someone available to take him out to the bathroom several times a day, as well as to play with him.

Anna is the sweetest lady lab you will ever meet!  She is quiet, gentle and loves to lie close and be petted. She will follow you everywhere and keep you company without being asked. She came to us a bit shy, but she is beginning to appear more confident as she settles in. She is great on a leash, has no interest in being in a kennel, and needs some encouragement to go potty—though she has never had an accident inside. We are working on basic commands, none of which she was familiar with. 

Anna was surrendered by her owner who indicated that she did not get along well with cats. We have not been able to ascertain whether that is the case or not, so a practice run and close watch are recommended if you have a cat. Upon examination by our vet, it could not be positively determined whether she has been spayed, so to be safe, she comes with a DFW Lab Rescue spay guarantee should that not be the case!

With her shiny coat and loving personality, Anna will make a great addition to your family.  Oh—and as an added bonus…we have not seen one single hair shed from this beauty!

I've struggled to write this biography, as it's hard to sum up Bocephus in just a short paragraph. Bocephas is a sweet, docile, cuddly, goofy, boy who loves to snuggle and be as close to you as possible. Where you are, so is he, just like a shadow. He loves to relax but if you want to party, he will rise to the occasion! Like most Labradors, he loves the water and to swim, he loves to ride in the car; and he loves to eat. He is great with other dogs, although he will let you know when there's one he doesn't know close (by barking/growling). He knows how to sit (though it takes him a second to remember what that means), he LOVES to shake your hand and give you his paw, he's great on a leash, he's potty trained, does well in a crate; and he's working on other basic commands like "stay" and getting the hang of it. Bocephus will make the perfect addition to a family who's home a lot or will take him with them when they leave.

Exavier is a very sweet and relaxed puppy. He still loves his food, but has developed a laid back personality.  He’s very 'chill' and surprisingly shy, preferring to hang back and observe before jumping in to play.  At nap time, he is usually the first to have fallen asleep!

To ensure Julius' success as an adult dog, there should be someone available to take him out to the bathroom several times a day, as well as to play with him.

Puppy pre-school or private training highly recommended.

If you’re looking for a dog who respects boundaries, practices social distancing, and prefers to sleep in his own bed, then Archyr is not the dog for you. Not only is he a lovable goofball, but he is crazy smart. He knows several commands including sit, drop,and  stay. He could probably memorize our Wi-Fi passcode if I taught it to him. He is house and crate trained. Archyr loves to play with other dogs and will absolutely melt your heart. He is a one year old chocolate with silver highlights. So handsome and sweet!

Irving is quite a character. He is vocal, and has taken up the challenge to be the spokesman for his brothers!  He loves hanging with the guys, following the big dogs and playing, sleeping and chewing on toys. More than anything, he is sweet and really just wants to be near you. A great family, dedicated to helping him to learn all the great things puppy need to learn (leash skills, sit, etc) will ensure he is the great family dog he was born to be.

My name is Jada and I arrived at our foster's home when I was three days old, along with my siblings and mom.  During my first couple of weeks, I'd wail loudly if my foster mom or her kids would try to carry me. I just wanted to sleep and eat. So, my nickname became 'Baby'.

Jada isn’t all sleep and eat anymore, she loves to play and could do so all day long!  She is usually the one to instigate play time and delights in pouncing on her siblings. She loves tug-of-war, and at nap time you’ll find her in the middle of the puppy pile.

To ensure Jada's success as an adult dog, there should be someone available to take her out to the bathroom several times a day, as well as to play with her.

Deja is a sweet and highly energetic little girl who loves to be petted and loved on all day long. She loves to play in the backyard especially fetching a ball. She loves to be around people and is great with kids and new people but still needs to learn some more manners to temper her excitement. She always hangs out wherever the family is but doesn’t enter certain rooms until invited.

She loves to take long walks and is very excited to meet other dogs and play with them. Deja is partially crate trained so needs to some training especially for longer periods of time when left alone. She needs someone who will work on her manners and use her abundant energy to develop her into a great mature dog.

My name is Annetta and I’m being fostered with my sister, Odessa.  My foster mom says my sister and I are the best puppies she has fostered!  I love to play and I am getting more confident every day. Right now I do a lot of sleeping as I am using lots of energy growing and learning. I love being really close to my foster mom— while she works or watches TV. If I can help with typing I will and I am doing lots of zoom calls with her co-workers and, as I have been told, I am so cute and steal the show. 

At night I sleep in my crate with my sister and, even though I am very young, I do not ever go to the bathroom inside our crate! I let my foster mom know very loudly when I need to go! 

I get on really well with the older Labs that live here. I am watching the chocolate lady in charge and copying her to get the hang of what I am supposed to do. I am going to do great with a family of my own to love.

Worthy is such a sweet boy. He is a great snuggle bug and is the quiet, shy one of the 3 brothers hanging at his foster home. He can be shy but once he gets going - he is just such a fun and gentle soul.  Don't get me wrong, he can play like a wild man with his brothers but he really is just gentle. Some great family for Worthy is going to win the lottery.

Meet Mollee, she is a sweet house trained sweet girl. Her goal in life is to please you, and to be loved on in return. She is smart, and knows the words “no” and “sit”. She mastered the doggie door on the first day. Mollee was a little skittish on the hard wood floors at first, but can run and play on them now with no problem. Mollee loves to go on walks and play ball. She walks with a gentle leader and does very well. When she plays ball, she will bring the ball back and drop it at your feet. When she’s had enough play time she will go to her bed for a rest or sit next to you wherever you are. She loves to just be around humans. She likes to sleep in her kennel at night and doesn't make a peep all night. Mollee is going to be a wonderful companion to anyone who needs a pup that just wants to be loved on.

Hi, I’m Paddy Len.

If you like giving belly rubs, then I’m the girl for you! I love, love, love them, and I will do just about anything for a belly rub including melting to the ground and rolling over. Although, I am young, I have already learned some things like not begging while the humans eat their food. I lay quietly at their feet while they eat. Speaking of eating, I am on the thin side, so I do need to put on a pound or two. I love eating, so that should not be a problem.

I have learned that squirrels and birds are very fun to look at and chase. This has caused me to almost go over the fence chasing a squirrel, so I will need to be supervised at first and will need a nice high fence. I play nicely with the little 8 pound dog that lives in the house and do not try to get his food when he is still eating. I love going on walks and do well meeting other dogs and walking on the leash with a few corrections while I am still learning. I am told I get the zoomies when I get really excited.

I do go in the crate but wish I didn’t have to. The humans say it’s for my own good when they aren’t home. I love cuddling and playing but I also can entertain myself and don’t always need to be in the same room although the human says if it’s too quiet, I might be up to something. I am so looking forward to meeting you, my forever family!

Hi there fans,

I know you are all wondering why my handsome self has been hanging around so long. “Coming Soon” Well.... I have to admit, I came in a bit rude so the rescue sent me off to boarding/charm school. I will say, not bragging but, I am doing amazing. I have never had a mean bone in my body. I have this leash walking thing down to a science. All those commands no problem! Have a treat?

After all this time I am ready to find my perfect home. I want my new owner to be interested in continuing my training. We have some private lessons I bring along so we can learn more together. I’m the biggest kid ever that my foster dad says I act more like a 6 month old puppy - so you haven’t missed anything!  Don’t let my size fool you either, I’m very quick and light on my paws.  I have no problem laying my head on your lap one minute and playing with you the next.  Sometimes I even try to get you to play by lightly putting my mouth on your hand. Either way I’m always ready to go to bed when its time and really enjoy staying in my dog bed all night in the bedroom till the alarm clock tells me it’s time to get up.  I even understand the meaning (not purpose) of the snooze button. If exercise is your thing? Great!! I simply cannot get enough. If not, I’ll make sure you enjoy it with me.

There is no doubt that I will be the most amazing companion you will ever have at your side. So let’s meet soon so we can talk with the rescue about us being a family. Looking forward to meeting you soon.

My name is Oakleigh, I am sweet baby puppy and I cannot wait to find my furever home.  My foster family says I am so well behaved for such a good puppy.  Yes, I do need some training to help my manners and leash walking, but my foster mom says I will be easy to train especially since I love treats.  I love car rides and I will just lay down on the floor in the back quietly until we get where we are going, I love other dogs and have been having a blast playing with my foster bother and sister.  I also really love kids and have been following my kid foster sister around everywhere.  I sometimes get really excited and jump just a little but the second you tell me No I stop, I also figured out the scary doggy door too!

I am looking for a family who wants lots of love and who will give me the attention and training I deserve to be my best doggy self.

Hi, my name is Myller. I am a young guy and have been with my foster family for a couple of weeks. I get along really well with my foster brothers and sister. I love to play but I have way more energy than them. My foster parents are really confused as to why my previous owners surrendered me but they tell me there is this thing called Christmas puppy returns - I don't really understand but then I'm just a puppy. I’m house trained, I respond to my name, and I can sit upon request. I’m well behaved and overall I’m just a really sweet prototypical puppy for my age.....and just look at my face.

My foster parents take me out on my leash and I don’t pull at all. I’m pretty good around other humans but occasionally I do jump when I get really excited. Car rides are great I just sit or lay down and relax, my human has even let me sit in the front seat once because I was so well behaved. I would do well in a house with another dog or as an only dog too, more snuggle time for me I guess. I don’t know how I would be with a cat because I’ve never seen one.

I can’t wait to meet my furever family. Will it be you?

Axl is a super happy pup who is ready to play when you are!  Even though he is young, he has a calm and sweet demeanor and is happiest when he can be around people.  He is eager to please and is very food motivated.  He's working really hard on potty training.  He stays all night in his crate with no accidents, but he will need some supervision during the day to work on consistency and signals. 

He likes people of all ages and gets along well with other dogs.  He has been a great sport about the quarantine and has enjoyed snuggling up and watching Netflix with the family.  He's happy hanging out with his foster family until he gets his forever home.

Hello, I am Kosmo. Thank you for stopping by to read my profile. I am a big boy at a fairly young age. So, I still have some growing to do.

My favorite things are a squeaking stuffed toy (which I have not destroyed), having my ears rubbed and playing with my foster siblings. I don’t jump up on people, so I won’t knock you over with my size. I’m housetrained and crate trained (but I would really just like to be near you). I don’t touch shoes, but I have picked up a sock once. I only put my paws on the counter once and have not done it since, after I was verbally scolded. Generally, I am just a big goofy boy that wants to be with humans and other dogs.

Hello Lab lovers, my name is CiCi. I am a small girl with a sunny personality. I am only young, but I am full grown. My life has been like a country song…. I had a home, I got lost, I was found but then I was given away. Sad story, right? But you know that in the end of the song it is going to be happy, and boy is it ever. I am now in a foster home with three Lab brothers and a pool. I can swim but I really like running around with a toy in my mouth the most.

I know some commands, and I sleep in my crate at night without any problems (I would sleep on your bed too if that was ok.) I am very food motivated and I love toys. The one thing that foster mom says you need to know is that I can jump very high. I can jump over a 4’ fence and if there is a beady eyed critter staring at me from the top of the fence, you can bet I will try to get it. So far that 6’ fence has contained me. Really, I am just a happy girl that loves to be where my humans are, and if they give me tummy rubs, I am in doggy heaven!

Add me to your list because I will be meeting families very soon.

My name is Slimm. I don’t like to practice social distancing. The closer I am to you the happier I am! I’m probably your standard Lab. I like to play fetch, I like food and I like to go on walks. I have some anxiety about crates but my foster parents are trying to teach me that my crate is a safe space. They give me peanut butter Kongs and toys to help keep me calm and to distract me while I’m in the crate. I’m very friendly and I like meeting new people. I like playing with my foster brother and stealing his toys and chewing them up. I don’t know if I like cats because I don’t remember if I’ve been around any.

Hello, my name is Kookie, I’m cute as a button and what you call an owner surrender. Why, you ask ... because my human had to relocate and there was no room for a dog. It was a very sad day for me and my human who spent a lot of time with me and I spent a lot of time in training. All that training, plus I was a smart dog to begin with. Although it was a sad day, it has turned into a good week at my new foster house. I've got a couple of four legged friends to play with plus the grandkids come over and play with me! I love the little kids and I know how to play gently so that is another plus.

Let me start off and tell you the good and bad things about me. Won’t take long to list the bad because there is none. I know all the basic commands, sit, stay, down, come, heal, kennel, I know all that. I like to sleep in a crate, but you can leave the door open, I go to bed on my own at around 10pm and I don’t get up until I see you fixing my breakfast. My favorite thing is playing fetch, you never seen a faster lab retrieve a ball than me. I love long walks, or you can run with me, if you can because I am good on a leash. Car rides I also a happy thing because I love to go anywhere with you. However, if you just want to hang out, I will find a spot on the floor and hang with you. Sound to good to be true? Well, I have never told a lie either.

Now enough about me, I want to know about you, I read these home study questions and I have a few requests I am looking for. I would like a big back yard, don’t have one, then someone who will run with me, can’t run, then someone who can walk with me, can’t do that, then be able to throw the ball 20 yards, can’t do that, maybe you should consider a cat! Only joking, I am a easy going lab that loves everyone and can adjust to any family and I will make you a proud lab owner.

Bud is an adorable goofy, almost white, male puppy. He sleeps through the night (9hours) in his crate with no accidents. He seems to know what can be chewed and he loves tug-of-war and fetch. He likes to play with his much bigger foster sisters and can definitely hold his own. He has lots of energy and needs lots of exercise, but at the end of the day he’s ready to snuggle on the couch before bed. A typical puppy, he will do well with a family or person who has the time to give him.

Hi my name is Chappie, and my poor chocolate heart was broken the day before Valentine’s. Unfortunately, I was surrendered by my previous owners because they weren’t able to care for me anymore. I have a very serious face, but I promise I am silly and smart boy. I love playing with all sorts of squeaky toys and balls. I do well in car rides and my foster mommy is training me basic commands. So far I have sit, shake, and down. I love playing with my foster sister and do well on a leash. My foster mom is also crate training me. Sometimes I bark for about 20 minutes before I settle down inside my crate. When I have a fun day of training and playing I can sleep though the entire night in my crate without barking. I also love sun bathing and I am full of energy and I like fruit like apples and carrots.

Chappie is a very cute and smart boy. He listens and is easy to train. He loves wrestling with his foster sister. He is gentle when you give him treats & he likes to be petted and likes it when I sing to him CHAP, CHAP, CHAPPIE! He likes to chase squirrels and hear the birds sing. He does good around other dogs and has lots of energy. He will be a great family dog and can learn many more commands if he continues with training.

Things were looking pretty bleak for me when my family took me to the shelter on December 22. Not my idea of a fun Christmas. But I was one lucky boy when the good folks at DFW Lab Rescue decided to pick me up. They say I am kind of an old guy, but Foster Mom says I sure don’t act like it! I am sweet, sweet, sweet, house trained, walk well on a leash, ride well in the car, and like all people and dogs. But man, the “Joy Meter” goes up though when someone brings out a tennis ball. My, oh my, I do love retrieving those balls. But I also know my manners. I sit before the ball is thrown, bring it back and drop it at your feet, and sit for you to do it again. Oh, I also know “sit” and “stay” (although that last one is pretty hard when one of those yellow balls is involved).

I will be great for someone who likes to go for walks, throw the yellow ball for me, 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!

Hello future adopters! My name is Bree and I have heard that good things come in small packages, if so - then I am the best small package ever. I am a tiny girl weighing in at 46 pounds. My foster mom calls me her pocket lab or lap lab. I have three BIG foster lab brothers, but they don’t scare me. I just give them lots of kisses and try to get them to play with me.

I was found in a smaller town roaming the streets with another lab. Her owner claimed her but mine never came. Don’t feel sad for me though, because now I am having my best life. I am learning to swim (that water is COLD), I love to play fetch and I love toys. I sleep in my crate and although I had one tiny little accident, my foster parents consider me to be potty trained. Oh yeh, I am also a watch dog. No stranger is going to get past me. If they do, I will  lick them into submission! At heart I am just a sweet, silly girl that loves to play and get snuggles with her family.

I will be ready for adoption soon, so you better get me on your list today! Watch my short video to see more of my adorable self!  https://youtu.be/mibnBRclvjM

Enzo is a handsome boy who recently found himself as odd man out when his family had a change in living circumstances. So he landed here with us. He is the president of the welcoming committee in his foster home because he loves all humans and dogs (cats not tested). Enzo has also been given by his foster a “Good Citizenship Award” as he is house trained, crate trained, and walks well on a leash.

Enzo is currently working on his basic commands and doing well. He is treat motivated which makes training fun for all! This guy loves toys, naps, car rides, lake days, and lots of snuggles with his humans!! So if you are looking for an all around great boy and willing to continue his training add Enzo to your list!!

Lena, is a super sweet gal full of energy.  She is great with kids and dogs, she loves to play with anyone or anything that will play with her.  She walks around most of the time with a chew toy in her mouth.  She does bark at people when she first meets them, but I thinks it’s for attention, because as soon as attention comes her way she is all wags and kisses.  Lena gets along great with my other dogs when it comes to feeding time and sharing toys, they got along from day one.  She still has some puppy in her and has tried to gnaw on the furniture and chew shoes so still requires appropriate supervision.  But she learns quickly and as soon as she is told “no” she stops.

We walk daily and she does pull while walking, but that could be because she walks with 2 other dogs and wants to be the leader.

Hi Lab friends and enthusiasts!

My name is Tinker. My previous family had medical issues and had to let me go. It's a little confusing, but my foster mom is helping me through it. I am a bit timid when you first meet me, but once I feel comfortable, I am loyal, sweet and spirited. My coat is amazingly soft and a super light yellow, so I am a very pretty girl and feel fabulous to pet. I do pretty well with other dogs, especially if they don't mind playing... A LOT! My foster mom says I’m doing well learning manners but will need someone willing to continue my leash training and establish structure. I like to jump up for hugs, but I am learning to wait patiently for love and attention.

I can't wait to find my forever home!!  Do you think that could be with you?

Hunterr is a handsome Labrador. He has an English lab type of build with the big tail. He also has very piercing gold eyes. As a young guy, he has a good amount of puppy energy in him still. One of his favorite activities is fetch. When Hunterr gets tired of fetch he will take a break and dip his feet in the pool. He also loves to go on long walks and while riding in the car, he will sit calmly and quietly. 

Hunterr loves his kid brothers and will walk next them on walks to keep them safe. When interacting with others dogs he wants to run around and play with them. The resident cat does draw a lot of attention from him, so he may be best without one in his new home. Please give Hunterr a chance to be yours!

Don’t let my few white hairs fool you. I am very energetic for my age and very anxious to find my forever home and family. I will be your confidante, your snuggle bunny, and your companion as you go about your activities. I spent 6 months in the shelter before DFW Lab Rescue found and rescued me so I’ve got going into the crate down. I am potty trained but, right now, prefer you to come outside with me. At my foster home, I barely notice the 8 pound chihuahua that lives here. Even when he yells at me, just because I am walking by him or approaching one of his toys - it's ok. I do like other dogs and I just love people. Did I mention that I have the softest black hair and I don't bark?  Yep - that's me!

I am learning some new tricks, like walking on a leash and riding in a car. I would like someone who is willing to keep working with me on walking because I really like going for walks and that will help me keep my weight in check. A girl wants to look good, right?  Check back for more updates on my progress as I will soon be working on getting these pesky heartworms treated.  When that's all over - just let the folks at DFW Lab Rescue know you are interested and I'm all yours!!

Gertie is almost finished with her heartworm treatment and is looking forward to meeting her forever family. She is a calm senior that enjoys leisurely walks, naps on dog beds, sunbathing in the yard, and eating treats. She can be trusted outside her crate and uses the bathroom outside. She has been gentle with our guinea pigs and chickens. She is an alpha girl and enjoys the companionship of a pup less dominant than herself. She is great with all two legged folks, young and old. Gertie rides well in the car but needs a little boost to hop in. She is a seasoned dog, with sweetness and love, who is ready to experience this new next chapter in her life.

Hi folks!  Rockey here!  I’m a super handsome friendly pup.......but pup is the key word!!!  I’m still ALL puppy - 70 lbs of puppy.  I am potty and crate trained, but I still needs lots of work on leash walking.  As a puppy, I want to investigate EVERYTHING.  I want to sniff this and touch that and lick those and know what it all is!  I get along fine with other dogs but I’m SUPER active.  I want to play lots so a match with a dog who prefers a calm dog wouldn’t be the best. I’m very sweet and am quite a handsome chocolate lab so if you want some young puppy love in your life I’m the perfect match!

Hico is an adventurous little ball of energy. He is a little smaller than his sister but loves to wrestle with her and follow his foster brother and sister around. He likes to explore the outdoors and go behind and under bushes. He is learning about where to go potty and is getting there but he is a puppy. He would do best with someone who has the time to help him learn house etiquette. He will make someone a great friend and companion.

Hello all - my name is Giggi. I am a loving girl who is shy for just a little bit but as soon as I warm up it’s all fun and games from there. I love to jump around and run around. I currently have a two year old kid I chase when he’s running and like to play with. I am my brother's best friend and help him warm up to others. I love to snuggle on my foster couch with toys and blankets and nap. I will be your best friend as I grow and I also do well with other dogs.

Hey there, thanks for stopping by to check me out.  My name is Harlowe and I LOVE to play with all my toys.  My favorite toys are my rope and tennis ball.  I enjoy my crate time since it gives me a chance to recharge for when my foster parents get home. I enjoy daily walks with my foster mom, but I still get overly excited when I see those pesky squirrels, but we work on that every day. I sure hope my forever family is an active one since I enjoy my playtime outside. I love people and can get a little too excited when I see them, though my foster mom says with a little training I will be good. I am not sure what “training” means but if it means I get to be around humans more I am up for it.  I like lounging in the house after I have had some time to get all my wiggles out.  My foster mom says I am a “great dog and will make some family very lucky.”  I sure can’t wait to meet that lucky family.

Need your hair chewed on, maybe your face licked, or even your shoestrings untied? Well I am a pro at doing those things and more.

Hi, I'm Fayette. I am a sweet little doll that likes to be held and loved on. I enjoy my little yellow ducky, that I have to keep away from my brothers. The big resident dogs scare me sometimes when they start barking, but I am slowly getting comfortable with the one they call “grandma”. I am working hard on this housetraining thing that foster mom keeps telling me that I need to learn. I know I mentioned untying shoestrings but I am learning to leave those items alone. I am almost ready to cuddle with my forever family.

Old, young, tall, short, I would love any of those things to hold me, love me and teach me the most important things in the dog world that I need to
know. Do you have a little yellow ducky for me?

Well darn, I came into the rescue program two years ago because I was a true rescue that got lost.  I was very lucky to find a good home and thought it was forever; I did not expect my owner to get ill and have to surrender me back into the program.  Bad for me but good for anyone looking for a laid back good lab like me.  I am good with all other dogs, love the little kids, don’t jump on anyone and best of all you can trust me in the house alone.  If you have to be gone eight hours that’s just eight hours of good sleep for me. I am house trained, very well on the leash, love to ride in the back seat of the car, and I prefer to be able to look out.  Am I the perfect lab, well my foster says almost?  My sweet little old lady I lived with feed me everything she ate and then some, as a result I am over weight.  I am on a very strict diet but the good news is l like green beans and carrots. Just got back from the vet today and in one week I have lost six pounds. Another twenty and I will back at my playing weight. You see I love to play fetch but as of now it is long walks and diet.

I am still a very good looking lab that needs no training, everybody loves me and I just need someone to love back.

Bexar is a handsome, healthy guy who is looking for a forever home. He was lost from his last home & they were not able to reconnect. But that’s ok because he has moved on with a good attitude & love in his heart. He is housebroken, has good house manners (no puppy shenanigans) and is good with other dogs (and maybe cats). He doesn’t look his estimated age as his little bit of gray is not that noticeable. He still has lots of life, love & devotion to give to a new family.

Howdy folks. I’m Downey. I have beeen with my foster family a week and I like it here. There are so many things to do! I love to hang out in the yard to watch cheeky squirrels. Or I just hang out on the sofa or in the kitchen, close to my foster people. Foster mom says I’m a darn good looking boy with my fox red coat and amber colored eyes. She is also impressed by my good manners. I don’t jump up, I don’t counter surf, I eat my food very sweetly, take treats gentle, know shake, sit and some other commands. Foster sister can’t get enough of my hugs and shakes and foster dad liked me sleeping right beside his bed in a big cozy doggie bed and snoring happily. I met already the grandparents and other friends and am very gentle and friendly with everyone I meet. I might sit close to you when you eat. You never know if you need some help and I don’t mind some extra snacks.

I like my furry brothers and sister. We have teamed up chasing squirrels, taking sun baths and listening to what’s happening behind the fence. We all show off our barking voice, (mine is full and deep) just in case someone unauthorized is walking around. I’ll sit in front of the patio door, when I need to go out to do my business. Foster mom says I'm pretty much perfect and that I’m perfect car company! I lay down and enjoy the ride. 

I can’t wait to meet some of you folks.

Note from Downey’s foster mom:
Downey is such a gentle, friendly and calm sweetheart. He is handsome inside and out! He is very well mannered, is trustworthy roaming free in the house and likes being around people. He has no problem with other dogs (don’t know about cats though, but wouldn’t be surprised if he likes these too) and is simply a kind soul. Downey will occasionally take a toy and engage a bit in playing, but his main focus is being close to his people, roaming the yard, sitting at the front windows and hanging out on the sofa. Downey is a bit on the skinny side, so we will take care of him gaining hopefully some weight.

He has shown that he knows to go outside, but will continue to need encouragement to complete his training. He can be a little shy when it comes to the rumbustious resident dogs. Would do best with a calm dog if there was one in the home.

He is mature for his age and the easiest boy to take care of.  He loves to ride in the car and stick his head out the window for the full effect, has never met a stranger and is a total love bug.  Tucker is great with children and never growls or snaps.  He is not particularly food driven but he will tell you when it's dinner time and he does loves his treats!!

If you are looking for a laid back and quiet lab, then Cashe is for you!! Cashe was accepted into our existing two dog pack (both DFW Alum) very quickly because of his playful and easy going personality. Cashe was an owner surrender. We give the prior owner “kudo’s” for the training provided. Cashe knows basic commands, is potty trained, leash trained and shows no food or toy aggression. He also goes into his crate with very little coaxing. We cannot say enough about Cashe and his awesome personality. He was introduced to our two cats and he is curious, but we feel in time he would be able to co-exist with them.  He is particularly fond of the pool and is hoping for a family that will allow him to continue to swim.

Thank you for getting to know Cashe. He is an exceptional foster and looks forward to meeting his forever family. We guarantee this chocolate teddy bear will win your heart like he has ours.

This sweet girl was well cared for in her prior life. How she ended up being an unclaimed stray in a shelter is puzzling. Seda is completely house broken and while she can crate, she does not need to unless she has access to food on your counters. See she’s a bit overweight and is on a diet accepting her carrot and apple treats joyously. This girl has yet to meet a stranger and is particularly fond of children. Cats appear to be new to her. She is curious and not sure why they run away. Since she does not have a high prey drive, proper safe introduction should work. While Seda is a little bit chubby, she loves to run in the yard and plays well with other dogs with toys and by herself if her foster siblings are all asleep. She has quickly become a fan of the dog door loving the independence it is giving her to her business check things out at will. Her leash manners are decent but, like most younger dogs, can always use some brushing up. Seda is super affectionate and with those soft brown eyes who can resist her? When we are outside in the yard she is our shadow.

If you are interested in meeting Seda please let adoptions know that Seda sounds the perfect addition to your family.

Kiki does love to be on the couch (we allow it) and probably will claim your bed if you allow it (we don’t). So far she hasn’t barked at people walking by the house at all. Cats are unknown.

Aurelia is a WONDERFUL young female lab. She is one of the very smartest, engaging, and affectionate dogs we have fostered (and we have fostered about 10 labs).  Aurelia really is special, and will be a great dog for a lab loving family. She is always upbeat, curious, and ready to play or to cuddle. Aurelia follows us around the house throughout the day, and really enjoys the company of people. She is a "dog park adventurer" - she playfully engages with the dogs she meets and seems to intrigue other dogs. Interestingly, she is the first dog to have cajoled her lab foster brother to engage in puppy play.  She is very intelligent, comes when called (even from across the distance of the dog park) and immediately learned our "go lay down" command we use with our dogs to have them vacate the kitchen or dining room during meal time. While the command is meant for our dogs to go to the other room, on her own Aurelia interpreted it as meaning to leave the house and go into the back yard! She has since figured out she can stay in the living room during meal times.  Aurelia will quickly temper her natural exuberance when commanded to "settle", as well.

Aurelia has several characteristics which should be considered by potential adopting families. First, while she does not behave "wildly", she does have energy and will thrive best if she has ample opportunities to run. Second, Aurelia is an alpha with other dogs. She quickly established dominance over her older lab foster brother and is sometimes jealous of attention paid to her foster brother. She might be best as the only dog in the family or with a submissive dog.  Auriela wags her tail frequently, and she wags it with such force that the tip of her tail will bleed when it hits objects. Once this fully heals, it should be resolved. Her new family has to be comfortable with such a happy and strong tail because Aurelia is one happy girl!  She really is a fantastic dog who will make great dog for the right famly!

Hey there! My name is Sassee, and I am a sweet cutie patootie. I came to the rescue when my previous family’s schedule got too chaotic to properly take care of me, but their loss is certainly your gain, if I do say so myself! I don’t want to brag too much, but I’m a pretty amazing girl.

I am great with small dogs; it helps that I’m on the petite side, too. I previously lived with a miniature Dachshund, so I wasn’t used to being the smallest of the pack until I moved in with my crazy foster siblings. It took me a day to adjust, but now I play all day long with my new 70 pound husky bestie. When I am not playing with that spazzy boy, I love talking walks, cuddling on the couch, destuffing toys, playing fetch, and squeaking my ball until my foster mom decides her ears need a break. To top off all of this amazingness, I am crate trained, house trained, and gorgeous as can be.

I cannot wait to meet my new equally amazing forever home. In the meantime, I’ll be squeaking my ball!

Hello!  My name is Gia and I am a very happy and energetic puppy. I am very active and love to run and chase balls. I've also never met a toy I didn't like. I am very friendly with both humans and other dogs. I am doing well with my house training and can go all night without needing to be let out.  I still need some supervision during the day and more work on signaling when I need to go outside. I'm a big fan of food and will do almost anything for a treat!

My foster mom says I'm a really good girl. I haven't tried to chew on anything I'm not supposed to and, even though I'm tall enough, I haven't done any counter surfing at all. I'm just a super fun and playful girl looking for my forever home!

Mobes is a handsome, healthy boy looking for a forever home. He was surrendered by his family who had to move and could not take him to the new place. But they have given him a great start and while he is a bit overwhelmed right now at his foster home, he is adjusting more every day. He is a gentle giant at 100lbs and very keen to please. He is housebroken, has good house manners, is used to being trusted in the house, is good with other dogs - not dominant - and good with young children. He is a bit of a lazy couch lover right now and needs to lose some weight but is keen to walk every day and loving the exercise. With a family to walk and play with him it will not be long before his step is lighter and full of energy.

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Looking for a petite girl to cuddle and love on? Joanie loves to be held and loved on especially during these cold days and nights. Sunbathing in the sun or romping it up with her brother, Joanie is full of life. She might be a tad on the small side, but this is a spunky girl. She lets her brother, Chachi, know when
he is being rough. She is coming along great with housetraining, but will need to continue with her training due to being so young.

Joanie is the “runt of the litter”, with 6 siblings pushing her away from their momma, Marion, during feedings. She is fast making up ground and gaining weight. This girl is dreaming of toys, treats and a family that will love her forever this Christmas.

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!

If you're game for some puppy love, I'm your gal!  Make my holiday wish come true!

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!

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!

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

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.

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!

Hello world!  Tonks here! I'm about to start looking for my forever home and you might want to know something about me. I'm kind of the feisty girl of the group. That just means I have lots of energy. My foster mom has been helping me to temper that energy and be a calm girl too.  I'm very smart and in many ways, a typical puppy.  My foster mom and I share lots of kisses and I love playing with my mom, brothers & sisters and am super brave.

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?

If possible, we would like to keep Maxter and Mya together.  If 2 dogs is something you are looking for, please let us know.

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.

Jaxx is super sweet and very smart, he is housebroken, crate trained, he knows how to use a doggy door, though at his current foster home there isn’t a doggy door.  He knows how to sit and wait for treats. Jaxx enjoys his daily walks, though he is very excited at first he does calm down quickly and is good on a leash. He occasionally jumps up on people, but has gotten better as we have been working on that. He also tends to eat very fast, has a great appetite!

Jaxx is very friendly, he loves everyone he meets, be it human, dog or cat. He is great with young kids, very patient and puts up with a lot.  He is not a barker and so far, very seldom does he bark.  He loves attention and to be loved on. If you think Jaxx is your guy - put him on your list and we'll see if we can make that love connection!

Joy-ous is a wonderful little Lab who deserves the best! 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.  

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 DFWLR know!

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

Hershee is a very handsome and sweet young lab. He loves to play with toys, go for walks and be with his people.  He is crate trained, house broken and plays well with other dogs. For a young lab he has a great disposition in the house and is not too rowdy. Hershee is currently working on his leash skills as we pulls a little during his walks. Once he gets going he settles in quite nicely. Hershee loves to cuddle, play tug and EAT. Hershee would do great in a home that can offer him some additional training (leash training and not jumping when greeting people) and give him plenty of opportunity to play and get exercise.

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 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 ge
