Meet Miss Molly Brown! 

Molly Brown is a sweet chocolate female Lab.  She ended up in a shelter through no fault of her own at the age of 10 years.  DFW Lab Rescue is committed to saving special senior dogs and we know that there is a perfect home for her out there where she can love and be loved for the rest of her days! We grabbed her right up! 

Molly Brown is looking for that special person to love her and care for her now in her aging years.  She will be a wonderful, loving companion to someone looking for a dog with a low activity level.  She needs no crate, does her business outside and doesn’t bother things that aren’t hers.  She enjoys resting and enjoying the view from your favorite area rug!  She does have chronic arthritis (what 10 year old wouldn’t?) and needs regular pain medication to help her feel her best.  She would love to be an only dog free to have one special adult person to love all to herself but she is fine older dogs that will respect her age. She has a lot of love left to give.  Will YOU be her special angel?

Hi there! I see you noticed my picture, I’ve been told I’m quite handsome, but there is so much more to me than my good looks! My name is Cody; I’m full of energy and I LOVE my cuddles. I am 4 years old, but I still have some of my puppy energy! I am a big 80 pound boy with striking golden eyes and a tail that never stops wagging.

I don’t mean to brag, but you know, I keep overhearing my foster momma talking about me to her friends and she definitely thinks I’m the bee’s knees! She says I’m the ideal dog for home security, because while I almost never bark, I always bark when I hear someone unknown come near my door.

I have only met a few tiny humans on our walks. They seem pretty cool and I was calm around them. If you have tiny humans, let’s meet and see how we do together. I know I’d be just fine with kiddos that aren’t tiny though.

I would do great in a home with or without other dogs. I love all dogs and those cute little fluff balls- cats I think they’re called? I would also be fine being the only dog, more attention for me!

I love going on walks with my foster momma. I don’t pull on the leash and I’m really good at staying right next to you or just a little out in front. If you have a yard for me to play in that would be just so cool, but foster momma makes up for her lack of yard by taking me on walks and I do just fine with that!

Let’s see, what else, I am pretty awesome at fetch.  I will chase after my toy or ball and bring it right back to you- because I want to keep playing of course! I haven’t had one single accident in foster momma’s house, and I only chew on my toys and bones.

I’m perfectly happy hanging out in my crate, I go in when I’m asked to and I never bark or whine! I know some basic commands- I’m good at sit and shake, and I’m pretty good at lay down and stay but need some more practice. I love to cuddle on the couch and in bed too if I’m allowed, and I don’t care what anyone says- I most definitely will fit in your lap!

I guess I’d better wrap this up since I know you’re just itching to call my people so you can come meet me! Pick me to be your loyal fur-ever friend! I will stick with you and I really need someone who will stick with me too and give me a home and family I can stay with forever! See you soon!

Hi! My name is Miller.  I am approximately two years old. My foster mother says I am super endearing and a very good boy. All I know is that I like it when she kisses me on the head and tells me how sweet I am.

Since coming to my foster home, I’ve learned  about walking on a leash and now I’m better at it although I do get really excited when I see other dogs so I need to keep practicing. I’m super easy to have around the house as I’m quite content to take a nap while everyone is busy doing their own thing. I also love to play! One of my favorite games is tug-of-war and it is hard for me to not get too excited because it is so much fun.   I’m pretty curious, too. In fact, my foster mom thinks I’m a little like Curious George from one of her favorite childhood books. But, once I know my boundaries, I’m willing to leave your things alone if I have my own things to keep my attention. And, apparently, I’m a really quick learner because I’m eager to please. I know how to potty outside and I don’t mind sleeping in my crate.

When I first came to live with my foster family, they didn’t know what I thought about other dogs. I barked when I saw other dogs but it turns out that wasn’t the best way to handle my excitement. So, I got to go to camp where I learned how to communicate better. And, it turns out that I really love getting to play with other dogs. My foster mom was so happy to hear that I’m such a social boy.  My foster mom says that in my forever home it would be good if we could take lots of walks and play quite a bit. But once I’ve gotten to exercise, I’m happy to simply hang out with you.  If you have other dogs that would be really cool because I would love to have a play mate, but I’m also happy if I’m your only four-legged family member. I’m also good with children as long as you remind me that I need to be careful not to knock little ones over because sometimes I forget that I’m a big boy.

When I look back over the last few weeks, I can tell that I’ve changed a lot and now I’m ready to become part of your family. I’m looking forward to moving to my forever home!

Hi future friends!   Whiskey here to introduce myself.  I'm a pretty happy go lucky 8 month old girl.  I've been hanging out with my foster family for a little while now.  We're having so much fun here!  My foster siblings and I play with lots of toys together.  I like to play fetch and love to go swimming in the pool here.  You want to know more about me?  Foster mom wants you to know that I am fully house trained, crate trained, know how to sit, and will give you high fives.  Foster dad says I'm pretty much the best of both worlds.  I know how to behave like an adult dog, but still have all of my puppy energy.  I can't wait to meet and play with you!!

Cabo is a sweet silly boy who loves to play and snuggle.  He is a quick learner and gets along well with other dogs and cats and is great with kids.  Cabo is still learning his manners however, and can jump when greeting new people.    He is house and crate trained.  While he prefers to sleep on a pillow on the floor he is still learning what is his and needs to be crated when left alone.  He loves toys and will play fetch, but his favorite seem to be the soft toys.  He is interested in the pool, but has not yet had the opportunity to jump in.  Cabo is a great dog and will make a great family addition to a family!

Bark Woof!  Ashton here, you can call me Mitch like my previous owners did!  I am a bigger boy, about 90-95#, and 6 yrs old.  I am goofy and like to rough house with my foster sister Storm.  I prefer medium to larger dog friends so I can really play at full speed, Storm is about 40# and she fits the bill nicely!  I am not a huge fan of cats based on my reaction when I see strays in or around my foster’s yard.  I know commands like sit and down, and like pretty much any treat you will give me.  That said, I have not counter-surfed or stolen any food off my foster parent’s plates.  Now that I’ve been at my fosters for a few weeks my 4 foster siblings and I have gotten the hierarchy down and we all get along great.  I am very loving and submissive with my foster parents, I’ll get up on the couch and snuggle with them if they allow it and anytime I see a free hand I am more than willing to put my head under it for scratches!! I’ve been put in the laundry room with a bed and some toys (no kennel) for up to 8 hrs as a test and have passed with flying colors, no fits, accidents or damage to my fosters home!  I use the dog door no problem too. 

Overall, I would fit well best in a home with older kids and a secure yard so I don’t come face to face with kittiesJ.   I have been said to be touch and go with certain kids, so I definitely would like to meet yours before I join your family.  I have done just fine with boys who have had large dogs before, but I have gotten a bit anxious with a few girls who seemed a bit scared of me.  I would do just fine with siblings for me to play with, medium to larger breed dogs maybe best.  I may need some time to get adjusted but after I get comfortable with my new siblings there shouldn’t be any issues.  I am used to having a dog door so I can do my business as I please, but have proven to be able to hold my business for 8hrs no problem if necessary!  I look forward to meeting you and becoming yours forever!

Looking for a BIG, happy, playful puppy? Well you clicked on the right picture! Justina loves playing with other dogs.  She is learning to bring back a frisbee and other toys when thrown.

She would do best with an active family that can stimulate her mind and body. She isn’t a real high energy dog, but enjoys staying busy. She is always ready to play with any of the 4 resident dogs or competing for the frisbee/Air dog.

She isn’t thrilled about being in a crate and will be vocal about it. Justina has been very good about leaving non-toys alone. She has shown to be trustworthy in the house when the humans are gone. At night, she sleeps in a dog bed in the bedroom or living room. Rarely has she been caught on the furniture.

Can be a little mouthy (no pressure involved) when wanting to play, so maybe no little children. But some older kids would be great for this sweet girl.

Justina is ready to be your companion furever!

Hello!  Adelaide's foster mom here.  I usually write a cute story from the dog's point of view, but Adelaide is so great I truly wanted to tell it from my own heart.  Adelaide (we call her Addy) is one of the sweetest, happiest dogs we have ever fostered.  She is, to put it simply, just wonderful.  Adelaide is always, and I mean ALWAYS wagging her tail.  If she sees you across three rooms, she'll wag her tail, if she hears you in her sleep, she wags her tail.  She will follow you everywhere, but not in an overly clingy way.  She just wants to sit quietly next to you and wag her tail in hopes of a pat on the head or a scratch behind the ear.  Her shelter paperwork guessed her age around nine, but she's pretty spry for that age.  She still likes to chase squirrels in the yard and hop up on the couch for a snuggle.  Addy absolutely loves snuggles.  And she is an excellent kiss-giver.  Adelaide is both potty and crate trained.  She is smart and knows sit and down.  Adelaide had heartworms and a bacterial skin infection, but she has been treated for both and is healing nicely.  She is missing a small amount of fur on her tail and it may not ever grow back, but that doesn't matter because you can't tell in the blur of all the wagging! We're not sure what Addy's life was like before to find her in such rough shape, but a dog this wonderful deserves a life full of love and relaxation from now on.  If you are looking for a lab that loves cuddles and is as sweet as pecan pie, then apply now to give Addy her very deserving furever home!

Hi my name is Soloman and I'm looking for a good home.  I'm a loving and kind dog, kind of shy at first but once I get to know you I'll be by your side. Because I'm young, I need a good walk every day and plenty of exercise.  I like being around people and enjoy a good pat on the head or tummy rub.  I don't like being in a crate - in fact, I've been known to escape (which is why they sometimes call me Houdini).  I'll make an awesome family pet!

Indie is a sweet, loving dog. She is a bit of a featherweight. Some may call her a pocket lab. She weighs in at 57 pounds. What she lacks in size, she makes up for in heart. Indie came to us with a scar on her ear. Though she made have had a rough life before, she is all about pleasing her owners.

Indie lives with 3 young boys from 1-7 years of age. The 1 year old likes to hug and pull on her some times. She is very patient and sweet with him. They love to nap with her. She gets an A+ for cuddling! She does love to counter surf from time to time so keep those treats up high. No crumb goes untouched on the floor. We have her pretty well crate trained. She will not whine once she is in there. When she is out of the crate Indie will be your shadow. There are never too many pets to be had.

Indie would be great for any family, big or small. She lives to please. Give her a chance and she will steal your heart!

Hi, I'm Paula! When I was brought to the DFW Lab Rescue, they discovered I had a pelvic fracture so I spent a lot of time resting. Now, I'm a healthy, energetic puppy.  I love playing with all dogs and I am submissive.  I enjoy playing with my new foster brother, Strait, and another foster brother Max.  A home with an active dog might suit me best!!
 If you will let me, I will be more than happy to lay on your lap even though I am a big girl. I also like to sleep under the covers; my foster mom thinks I act like a cat, I just like to stay warm.  When my foster parents leave the house, they put me in a crate so I can relax while they are gone. I am lucky because my foster parents spend a lot of time working from home so I do not spend a lot of time in the crate. I need a home that has as much energy as I do and understands puppy play from aggression. Small kids might find me too rough unless they have been around large active puppies. Mom says it's good that I don't jump on small kids but sometimes I can get excited and I might slip up. It would benefit me if my new family would take us to training classes. I'm willing to learn if you will be consistent and put the time and effort in to train me. Foster mom has been taking me to the dog park daily and I really enjoy it. So if you consider bringing me into your family; occasionally, doggy daycare and trips to the dog park would be a good idea, if I'm an only dog!

Zalia was the infamous puppy #3, she struggled the hardest to get well and we thought we were going to lose her more than once.

She the calm thinker of the bunch and always up for cuddle time. Zalia is also happy to join me on a raft floating in the pool. Zalia is in the process of learning to potty outside.

My name is Adler and I am a very friendly and playful giant. I am a yellow boy 1.5 years old weighing in at 78lbs and I am a true heartthrob. I was born with hydrocephalus. Some people say I have "water on the brain". You won't see my condition holding me back though; I am a very happy dog with lots of spirit, grit and personality.  I go on walks, swim,  wrestle with my foster brothers, and lounge around in the sun;  I just love being outside. I have some sight issues but don't worry, you only have to show me the food and water bowl once. I rely on my foster brothers as my companions and guide dogs. They are my best friends and they love to help guide me through the house. I like to sleep in my foster parents bedroom at night but  I can  sleep in my crate during the day. My foster family says I am a joy to have around and can't wait for me to meet my forever family and new siblings. 

Even though I have a  "condition", I play like any normal happy two year old lab.  I'm full of joy and ready to share it with my new family.  There are special needs people, and there are special needs dogs.  That's what I am.   But I don't think I really have any special needs..... I just need a special family to love me!

Hi there!! My name is Modelo. I'm a sweet, easy going girl.  I enjoy car rides, hanging out on the couch watching Netflix, and following my Mom around the house.  Whenever my parents open a car door, I jump in without any prompting.  Sometimes they have to pull me back out because they’re only unloading the car and weren’t really planning on taking me anywhere!  My favorite show on Netflix is House of Cards.  The Underwoods are so ambitious I can’t stop watching!  Lastly, my Mom.  She walks from room to room and I keep her company.  What if she gets lonely in the bedroom folding laundry, or she accidentally drops a snack in the kitchen?  I’m a good girl that makes sure none of that happens.

Katie is such a sweet, loving girl and I can't wait for you to meet her.  Katie is chocolate lady, medium size at 76 pounds and is almost 8 years old but don't let her age fool you...it's just a number!  Katie is mature but she has energy and spunk and loves walks, playing fetch and swimming.  We have two dogs and a cat and Katie gets along great with them.  She does pull a bit on the leash but does fine with correction and certainly will improve with consistent training.  Katie is perfect lady in the house and sleeps on the floor beside the bed at night.   

Katie does best with slow introductions to new people and she's a love bug afterwards.  However, young children make her skittish so her new family should not have young kids.  Katie dines with the other dogs just fine but she wants to make sure no one takes her food so meal time should be monitored.  

I can't wait to have you meet this sweet lady!

Hi everyone, Josey here!  Just wanted to let everyone know I’m going to be available really soon.  I’m a healthy beautiful chocolate girl.   I love water, I love the pool and I love to play in the hose and chase after the water.  My foster Mom said it’s a great way to get me some exercise on these hot summer afternoons.   I do great in the crate but also do fine having full rein of the house.   I am a counter surfer; I ate some cupcakes that were just staring me down the other day… I didn’t think there was anything wrong to eat ALL of them.  Hey I even cleaned up all the crumbs so I didn’t leave a mess. My foster Mom now says she has to keep the counters clear. I also walk nicely on my leash. If I see a squirrel I want to chase it, but other than that I don’t pull much.  I have a foster kitty in the house and I don’t pay any attention to him… he scares me so I figure it’s best to keep my distance.  I love to hang my head out of the window when we are in the car and I haven’t met a dog or human I didn’t like.   

This is what my foster Mom says about me:  Josey is quite the love bug.  She loves to give kisses and be right next to you when you are sitting down.  She will come up to you just to get hugs and give you hugs back.  If you let her jump in your lap, she would.  She is just under 70 lbs but does not seem big.  She is calm in the house but loves to walk and play in the water.  She sleeps great at night. She knows basic commands and listens well.   She is a great girl and would fit well into any family.  If you are gone all day, she would need to have a long walk before you left the house.  She is not a barker, not even when the door bell rings.

Tamale here…or you can call me a Mexican Jumping Bean, like foster mom.

I am a happy go lucky girl with big paws. Love being a Lap-a-dor and getting loved on.

In May I was run over by a golf cart that injured my left rear leg  and have been healing up. I have showed no pain or discomfort from this event. I won’t be released until the doctors say I am good to go. I love to jump, hence my nick name.

I am a typical puppy that loves to play with other dogs. I have learned to respect other dogs during feeding time. It is hard to stand there and watch them eat after I am done, but I have been getting good at waiting.

There are outdoor cats, but I don’t get to excited when I see them. I just might be a good companion for one.

I am still working on the potty training. If there is a doggy door, I know to go outside. Still learning about how to let humans know that I need to go out to potty if the door is closed.

I know sit, which foster mom makes me do before giving me my food bowl, due to me being so excited to eat.

I have been doing good about leaving the furniture and electric cords alone, but I sometimes like to carry a shoe around. Haven’t eaten one, just played with them.

I sleep in a crate at night and do pretty good. I am let out once during that time to go potty. Would love to sleep with my forever human(s) and snuggle up.

I don’t do a lot of puppy biting, so I might be safe for small humans to play with.

Can’t wait to start the next adventure in my young life and find my forever family. Will you be it?

Springtime is a good time for a new family member.  Even though I'm not "new", I would still be a great companion.  I am an unusual color, a beautiful silver/brown, which makes me quite unique.  That's were my name Argento comes from.  I love, love belly rubs and lounging around.  I have a foster brother right now, and we get along just fine.  If you already have one of my kind, it probably would be best if he was older, too.  I'd really love to actually be your one and only.  I like walks and I'm pretty good on the leash.  I get a little excited when I see other dogs and bark a little, but I'm just talking for a minute.  I'm crate trained, and also can be trusted in the house. My foster mom took me to play ball and I even brought it back to her! She was so happy, but I didn't get the big deal.  I was with a different foster family, (they had to move), and they had children and a cat, which was no problem for me.  I did battle with a little cancer, but I'm feeling fine and ready to find my forever family to love, and to be loved.

Hi, my name is Jude, but my foster Mom calls me "Hey Jude, you don't make it bad, you take a sad day and you make it better...".  I don't understand much, but something about a Beetle? But we don't have beetles where I'm staying, they have dogs, kids and lots of squirrel things, which apparently, are rather naughty. I'm not naughty at all. I've heard I'm as sweet as I am smart! So not sure why I was turned into a shelter at four weeks old, but my brothers, the two-legged sort, have told me they're going to find the most perfect family for me. Because I deserve it & I'm one of the "most awesome" puppies they've ever fostered!

Hello I’m Bozley.  I’ve been on the sidelines for the past couple of weeks taking it easy from the heartworm treatment that the vet gave me.  Those are pesky things to get rid of.  They slowed me down there for a while but I’m back to my old playful self now.   I’m not sure what went wrong at my first home. I’m pretty sure that I wasn’t thrown out for misbehaving or anything like that. Maybe I wandered off chasing a squirrel and, with little fanfare, I was lost.  I’ve tried to remember but it’s all a blur. Temporary amnesia? Whatever the reason, I was soon picked up by the animal shelter and charged with vagrancy since I had no ID or means of support. Luckily those wonderful DFW Lab Rescue people found me at the homeless shelter and took me in. I am so grateful to them for giving me a second chance. I love my foster parents and foster brother Corky.  I’ve got a lot of good years left in me and I would love to share them with you.

Bozley is the typical easy going, fun loving male lab.  He is affectionate and will soak up all of the attention he can get.  Bozley will take every step you take. He is energetic but not hyper.  He does not have much puppy left in him but he does like to chase a ball and will keep your property squirrel free. He requires moderate but regular exercise to keep him happy.  He prefers to nap most afternoons.  Bozley likes all kids but would probably do better with older kids.  He gets along fine with other dogs but would also do quite well as an only dog. The most important thing to Bozley is the companionship of humans. With Bozley around, you’ll never be lonely.

Hi, my name is Mango.  I am 9 months old and if I may say so, I am a beautiful girl.  I am currently having a great time at my foster family’s house.  I love my friend Lucy and we play, walk, eat and have fun all the time (when we’re not sleeping).  I am still a puppy so I am good for a few hours after I wake up, but then will take naps at various times during the day.

I need work on my leash as well as I love to pull my friends when we walk.  My current foster family has worked with me every day and I am getting better, but I still need work.  I love to cuddle and sleep on the couch and I am not the destructive type.  I will occasionally dig a bit in the grass, but Lucy is better at it than I am.  I do great with other dogs and people, but sometimes the puppy in me comes out and I might jump up a little bit.  I also love belly rubs and ear scratches.

I can handle a crate just fine when my family leaves, but I like to be free to roam when they are home.  I am totally house trained and will go to the back door when I need to go outside.

My ideal home would be a young, active family that has large dog or large dog experience (preferably Lab), and an adult that is home a majority of the day.  I would be a great dog to have the children grow up with and learn the responsibilities of owning a pet (feeding, walking, picking up after them, vaccinations, training, keeping their toys in a safe place and out of her reach, etc.)

Hi there! My name is Singe, but my foster family prefers to call me Lisa since I am such a cute little lady. 

I had a rough start at life, but you would never know that based on my sweet personality. All I want to do is love on my foster family. In fact, I follow my foster mommy around everywhere, and since I am black, I figure I will just be her living shadow. My foster mommy doesn't mind because she knows I'm just trying to make up for the time I was without love and attention before Lab Rescue saved me.

In the few moments I am not literally in my foster mommy's lap, I enjoy playing with toys and chewing bones. I also love being outside with my foster family, gardening and watching the little humans play.

I have to say I have been a perfect house guest. I don't jump up on people, I don't chew on things that aren't my toys or bones, and I do my business outside.  

Although I love my foster family, I would love nothing more than to have a family to call my own.

Hi!  My name is Kai and I am 4 yrs. old. I am living with this nice family and they said you might want to know a little about me. I really like following my foster mom around the house. She does a lot of stuff and I like to watch.  I also have a foster brother who I like to play with. There are two boys who are 11 & 12 and they play with me too. Foster Mom says I don't know how big I am. I don't know what she means because I fit on everyone's lap. I also have "happy tail". I can knock things off of the coffee table in one swift wag. I weigh 70 lbs. and am still gaining weight so I am a big boy. I am good with kids but would probably do better in a home that doesn't have small kids. I need some basic leash and manners training but am food motivated and learning commands very quick!  If this sounds like you would be a good match then let me know!

Hi Kerns here, but just call me George. I'm one handsome fellow I have to admit. 

I'm a perfect houseguest too. I just hang out while my foster family is away. We have a dog door so If it's not too hot for me, I'll go to the gate and watch the world go by. I love other dogs especially all my foster siblings. Even grouchy old Molly who's always snapping at me. I just ignore her.  The puppies are allowed to run in the yard now and they love chasing me, that is so fun!!

I have also learned to swim in the pool but reserve that for those really hot days when my foster parents insist on being outside.

We have a couple cats and boy do I love to chase them when they run. Sierra cat gets under the car and I try to stare her down and whine at her, not sure why she's not impressed with me!

I walk on a leash pretty decently. When I pull too much I'm corrected easily because I like to please. I also reserve my barking for times when I really need to do so. 

One thing I'm not too impressed with is small children. They and their friends create a lot of chaos and noise and that stresses me out too much. See I'm more of a chill guy and a snuggler. I really prefer the adult humans and the older kiddos in all honesty. 

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I sleep in the bedroom with the humans and my foster siblings. They have a crate in the bedroom with a bed in there for me and I sleep in it with the door open. 

I'm now interviewing for my new forever home and look forward to meeting you. Until then......

George

Hey… it’s me Zam (Max to my friends.) My foster mom says I should be called Moaning Max. She is just a funny lady and a Harry Potter fan I guess. Anyway…. here’s the deal. I may make some supposed “moaning” noises when I am happy, when I am sad and when I sleep. But my foster mom always laughs so it can’t be too bad then right?

Now that we have that out of the way, let me tell you a bit more about me. I am a big guy. I weigh 95 pounds but I am trying to lose a few pounds here at my foster home (I miss table scraps!) I have that big block head and those wonderful sad eyes that used to get me some yummy people food, but not so much anymore. I learned to swim and I LOVE it!!! I will retrieve every toy you throw in a pool and then bring them all to the same spot so you can throw them again. I like to play fetch and usually will bring the ball back to you.

My foster family includes two humans, two labs and a cat. I get along great with all of them. I am just a sweet guy that wants to be right next to his people. I sleep in the bedroom on or near my pillow (I am still getting the hang of this dog bed thing.) I am just a big gentle guy looking for his forever home. If you think you might be the one for me, drop the people at the lab rescue a line and let them know you are interested. Who knows, maybe we will get to meet in person soon!

Hi!!!!!  It’s me, Flynn!!!!! 

There are lots of exclamation marks because I am one happy boy.  I hit the jackpot when I was rescued by DFW Lab Rescue, because I ended up in a comfy home with 3 older dogs and 1 much younger dog to play with.  The older dogs are pretty chill and the younger one and I play, play, play.  She’s still a puppy at almost a year, so she starts most of the ruckus.   I think I would be happy anywhere there was someone to love on me, but it sure is nice to have a playmate.  We love toys, playing chase and hanging out together when everyone is relaxing.  I am learning sit and other commands because my foster parents have these great treats they give me if I sit.  I’m not sure why no one ever taught me this before, but it is a goldmine.  You sit, you get a treat!  Who knew?  I’ll sleep almost anywhere, a dog bed, a crate with the door open, a couch, your bed – wherever you will let me because I aim to please.  I do not have a mean bone in my body so when my foster sister takes my food or treats, I just look at my foster mom for a replacement.  Oh, and did I mention that I like kids?  My foster family has 3 teenage boys and they are the bomb.  They pet me and tell my foster mom to keep me instead of my foster sister.  I sure would love a home of my own.  Would that be with you?

Hi everyone, Pippa here and I’m so excited to tell you that I’m ready to be adopted!  According to my Foster Mom, I’m one of the sweetest pups she has ever been around. I’m really a lover! I will sit next to you and tell you how much I adore you.   I’m doing better with my leash walking too; still need a little work but I just get so excited when I see other dogs or other people to meet.  I love riding in cars and sticking my nose out the window.  I get along great with my Foster Brother and we love to play.  Even the cat and I play together.   My Foster Mom thinks I would fit into any household and would do well with kids or other pets in the house but also would be fine as the only dog.  If you work and are gone a lot, you may want to make arrangements to have someone let me out for a potty break though, not sure I can make it 8-9 hours during the day without a break until I’m a little older. Doggy day camps would be great too.  You will need to exercise me before you go to work to get my puppy energy released. I will stay in the crate but I’m really good with full rein of the house; I don’t touch anything I’m not supposed to...well maybe flip flops, but that’s it!  I haven’t met a person or dog yet that I don’t get along with.  I’m doing really good w/not jumping up but sometimes in excitement I forget my manners.   I love playing ball in the backyard and in the house I’m happy just to chew on my bones or lay at my Foster Mom’s feet.  I’m a little girl, only 45 pounds, and probably won’t get too much bigger.  I love going anywhere you go and do great in all social surroundings.  If I sound like the right one for you, please get me on your want list.   Can’t wait to meet you and start our new journey together.   Sending you puppy love and kisses.

I was found as a stray in South Texas and not much is known about me prior to rescue…but here is what we have learned:

I am a gorgeous yellow boy who loves people and is ready to move into your Lab friendly home.  Lets go for a walk!  I love chewing on anything that is mine.  I am ready for a playdate with your dog or another dog.  I am ready to live life to the fullest…and so are you. Lets get together and have some fun…do you have children, love to go on walks, play hard in the yard, know how to do some training for 15 minutes/day so I do not forget all that I have learned?  We are a match!!!

Hi! I'm a sweet lover boy that deserves a second chance. My first family couldn't fix their fence so I ended up at Animal Control one too many times. Luckily, they called lab rescue and now I'm living the high life at my foster mom's. I love to play with other dogs and sometimes I get so excited I jump a little, but I'm getting better. I know when to play, but I also settle down nicely. Sometimes I can get a little nervous, but I get over it quickly and just want belly rubs and cuddle time. I'm a really great size and cuddling is so fun! I walk well on a leash and am crate and potty trained and know sit. I need to do a little more basic training with you (it will be great bonding time), but my foster mom thinks I'm a pretty great dog that loves to please and learns quickly. Not sure how anyone could give me up, but I'm looking forward to moving in with you and once I'm there, you won't regret it!

Hello, it's George here! I'm one big happy guy, my weight is about 115, I have a  big block head and am about 3-4 years old. My foster mama tells me all the time that I'm soooo handsome. She also says I'm a stick of butter (because I'm blonde) and that everyone loves butter, so someone special is looking for me to make them happy!  (Trust me, you can't help but be happy when George is around.) I'm house trained and good with my foster sisters. They don't play much with me because they are a little older, but they let me sleep on the dog beds and the human bed with them, and  I have never growled at them, even when the littlest one eats her snacks in front of me!!

If you are looking for a really handsome tall blond, look no further!  Your search is over.  My DFW Lab Rescue name is DQ because in my previous life, I made daily treks to the town Dairy Queen, where they loved on me and fed me hamburgers.  I love hamburgers! After my daily burger, I trotted across the street to the donut shop for dessert.  What can I say?  I was a growing boy without adequate supervision.  Sometimes a dog has to take dinner into his own paws.  As you might expect when you're eating a daily diet of burgers and donuts, my weight ballooned.  But life was pretty good even if I was constantly being picked up by animal control.  No big because they love tall handsome blonds, too!  I even got to hang out front with them in their reception office till my owner would come pick me up.  Only the last time I wound up at animal control, my owner didn't come for me.  So DFW Lab Rescue stepped in which is how I landed in this plum foster home where I get two square meals a day, treats, toys, walks, and car rides, and all the love a boy can handle.  I've even lost weight!  I still have a little bit more to go (I know you feel me...) but I have tons more energy than I used to.  I miss the burgers but dog food is pretty tasty, too.  As for me - I'm honestly pretty much perfect.  I love to play (my foster said I could take my favorite bone with me when I find my furever family!!!) but I love to chill, too.  In fact, I'm a totally chill dude.  Except for when there are intruders in the backyard - doesn't matter if they're human, butterfly, or squirrel mafia (gotta watch out for those guys, amiright?), I will let you know.  My bark might scare them off but I'm all bark, I swear.  I am 100% a lover.  I do really like my foster family.  They're great!! But I want something more.  I want a forever home.  Maybe a fur brother or sister to play with but definitely a human family who will love me, and play with me, and let me be their best friend!! In return, I will give them all the love I have to give, and let me tell you, that's a LOT of love.

My name is Caracas, but my foster family calls me Carrie. I was found in a rather neglected state: the hair on a small part of my back was orange-ish. Not from a bad attempt to go blond, but because I had been left outside in the sun to bake, without any sort of protection.  I was petrified & couldn't stop shaking when a Good Samaritan came to save me. But that is all in the past now and I am living in a foster home with three other labs, receiving lots of love and attention and having the best time of my life. 

In less than 24 hours of being in our home, Carrie made a 180° turn. The fearful pup who had never even walked on floors, now happily goes up & down the stairs all day long following her four or two-legged siblings. Incredibly, she has never had a single accident inside the house and sleeps beautifully through the night. She is an alpha and gets along very well with our two year old Labs, as well as a 3 month old puppy. Her bad orange dye job has started to fall out & her beautiful black coat is coming in. A very sweet, normal puppy who loves to play, cuddle & follow you around the house. We have all developed a very soft spot for her.

Hi, I'm Tripp! I love my people! I'm trying really hard to learn better leash walking and am very trainable. I really just want to please you and be around you alllllll the time. You might even confuse me for your own shadow! I am a lover, not a fighter, even though I'm taller than most of the competition. A true gentle giant. Mom is trying to teach me some manners and so far I know sit and to go potty outside and am very easily corrected. Honestly, in my humble opinion, I'm the perfect family dog. I also know how to go into my crate, but my favorite place is still by your side. I know as we spend time together, I will keep gaining confidence and show more of my happy personality. Oh please please please let me be your best friend!

Rover likes to play fetch and is very active, but  this is understandable as a puppy. He is very sweet and calms down after some playtime and loves to play fetch day or night (glow in the dark ball). Currently he is learning sit, and working on other commands. He crates well when we are  not home or at night when we are sleeping. He is still learning life as a house pet, and is catching on quickly. He is very eager to make sure he follows you to your next task, but will lay down next to you as well. He does well with small kids, other dogs, and even cats.  He will make a great forever pet for some lucky family.

Nessie is a pure love bug! Her playful two-year-old disposition might fool you as she loves to cuddle during down time as well. She will be a perfect companion in any family as she gets along well with other dogs, knows obedience commands, walks great on a leash, is crate trained and house broken. Daily exercise is easy for Nessie as she loves retrieving and playing with her fur pals. She loves kids and is very patient with them.  Because Nessie has been trained as a hunting dog, she would do better in a home without cats.

Marigold is a sweet, 15 month old little girl who is looking for a family that will help her grow into a beautiful, confident dog. She is very calm and quiet. She is good with other dogs, gentle with kids, and loves to be around people. She is crate trained and appears to be potty trained. She weighs about 60 lbs and is learning to play with toys, fetch and retrieve. She is a doll and would make a wonderful addition to a family who has all their love to give.

Hi, I am Victor but my foster family calls me Radar (something about how my ears are so perky and they seem to hear everything.) Anyway… I think I am around a year old. I started out my life with a good home and then circumstances changed and I found myself chained outside all day and night. The other dogs in the neighborhood came and ate my food. Then one day, a wonderful lady from DFW Lab Rescue came and got me and I am living the life now!

At my foster home, I have two foster lab brothers, a foster cat (very unimpressive if you ask me), and a thing called a pool that is really confusing but I am a very brave dog and I can lay on the steps now!  I also like a good game of fetch. I sleep on a dog pillow in my foster parent’s bedroom at night but I go in a crate if they leave the house. I am totally house trained and I know sit and shake.

I started out at my foster home refusing to eat anything, boy how times have changed. It turns out that apples, watermelon, dog food and many other things are actually good! I had no idea. I even like dog treat and take them very gently. I have learned to love my humans and I want to be right by them as much as possible. Really, I am just a lucky guy that soon will find his forever home. I am happy just knowing there is a family out there waiting to love and adore me.

Here is a little video of Victor (aka Radar) learning to play frisbee.

Hello! My name is Andrew and I’m a happy young man!  I am friendly and love people and other dogs.  I am happy to be with my human (hey, Follow the Leader is a fun game), but I would love another dog to play with if possible.  Being a typical young boy at heart, I have lots of energy and I am FAST (if I do say so myself).  After all, I’m still a big puppy!

I am learning to walk on a leash, and if you are willing to show me the best way to do that, I will be a great listener!  You see, I so want to be the BEST.  I do settle down inside the house and I actually have good house manners.  Far be it from me to chew on anything inappropriate (do I get to choose what is appropriate?.... hmmmm…)  I love a good belly rub, and I love to love on my foster human.  At night, I’m proud to say that I sleep all night on my dog bed and I don’t bother anything/anyone. 

I hope you’ll consider taking a look at me… you won’t regret it!  I’m ready for my forever home!  Don’t forget, the name is Andrew!

You want a sweet, calm, submissive, laid back guy?  Then I’m the one for you.  I’m 10 years old – but don’t let that scare you.  What’s that song about the wine getting sweeter with age?  With me, there’s no worries about house training, chewing, all those tough issues you have with the young ones.  No - I’ve been around long enough to appreciate the good things in life.  I adore being loved on, going for walks (and of course I do not pull on the leash), riding in the car, being around other dogs – whatever you want to do is fine with me.  My Foster Mom says I am the easiest dog she has had - & I’m number 26!  I also have the manners of a gentleman.  I know sit, stay, come, and how to wait until after the blessing before I start dining.  I am so good I even get to stay loose in the house when my Foster Mom is gone.  I promise I will bring light and love to your home.

Medina (Maddie) is a beautiful one year old black lab.  She is the sweetest, calmest one year old you will ever meet.  She doesn't jump up on people and knows sit and stay.  She loves to play fetch and is very social with other dogs and humans.  She is crate trained, potty trained and walks well on a leash.  She doesn't bark unless there is something or someone to bark at, like the mailman.  She loves to cuddle at night and give you her best puppy eyes.  She gets along well with my two small dogs and just wants to be part of the pack.  She is a dream and so easy to care for.  When she's ready to go to bed and everyone else is still up she will put herself to bed and sleep all night in her crate.  If you're looking for a calm, sweet, well mannered and sometimes goofy girl, she's the one.

 Hello out there.  I’m Ella and I’m about 11 months old now. I think I’m fairly typical as young labs go.  My bark is a bit awkward sounding because my voice is changing from puppy bark to big girl bark. I like my toys and I like to chase balls. Most of the time I bring them back.  More than anything, I love people. I also like to wrestle and rough house with other dogs when I get to know them.  Kids are great but I have not made up my mind about cats.  As for squirrels, they all must die! Crates are not among my favorite things, but I will go in one if you really want me too. It’s just that at my first home I spent a lot of time in the crate alone.  I heard that my owners gave me up because they could not spend the proper time with me.  I don’t understand it really. So, I got a little behind on some basic house manners.  My foster parents say I’m much better and I’m really trying my best. In the beginning I didn’t get along too well with Ellie and Gidget, the other dogs in my foster home. I was loud mouthed, didn’t like to share, and got in their grill when things did not go my way; in short, I was a rude crybaby.  Ellie and Gidget had to knock me over a few times to get me back in line – tough but fair.  Now, in only three weeks, we are great friends.  Ok, so I still try to steal their bones now and again. I didn’t say I was perfect, yet. I will really miss them when I leave here.  

All I’m asking for is a chance. I will do my best and reward your patience by being the best dog ever. Promise.

 Ella is an energetic, petite young lab who loves to run and play fetch.  Her ideal adult weight should be between 65 and 70 pounds. She’s come a long way since coming to her foster home but needs to finish Puppy 101 and improve on leash walking.  Ella chews some as most labs her age will do but less than most.  She will do best in a home where someone is there most of the time.   Ella is house and crate trained. She loves kids but might be a bit too energetic for toddlers. She needs someone who has experience with young labs, has room for her to run and play, and will spend time with her.  Also, Ella would benefit from being with a dominant dog that will play with her and keep her in line as she matures into adulthood.  With a little time and patience, Ella will be a loving and fun family member for years to come and will be a bookmark for cherished family memories.

"Aloha! My name’s Hani – that’s Happy in Hawaiian, and happy is what I am. I’m pretty shy around humans, but once I get to know you, I love to be by your side. My favorite thing to do with my foster mom is put my head in her lap while she’s working at her computer until she scratches behind my ears. I grew up with my brother Kai, and I’ve been having a good time hanging out with my foster sister, Hildy. Other dogs don’t really faze me at all – I just want to please my people. I was even mistaken for a service dog the other day. I guess that means I’m a good boy! My foster mom has been trying to teach me to fetch, but my foster sister is too quick and always gets the ball first. I don’t mind though – I’ve got that laid-back surfer vibe going on. Nothing can upset me.

If you’re ready for snuggles and want a real Velcro dog, I’m your boy."

Hi…I'm Pinkie Pie ( A.k.a. sister) a typical female lab puppy. I'm learning the ropes.... where to go potty and were not to go potty. I like to play with my brother, Shining Armor ( A.k.a. Brother) my foster sister, Paula, and brother, Max. I like snuggling with my human mom and giving kisses.  I really enjoy food so I should be easy to train since I'm food motivated. I just need a little discipline, consistency and patience and I will make a great member of your family. I like playing in the water hose so I might be a typical lab that likes water  and  I wouldn't mind a dip in the pool.  Also if you have a doggie door I already know how to use it.  Sometimes when my foster parents leave they have to put me in a crate.  At  first I don't really like it but I seem to settle in after about 10 minutes.  A  frozen peanut butter Kong might help me forget that I'm in a crate.

Cuddle Bun here, no wait, Aquata, or is it Bitsy, heck I don’t care what you call me if I can snuggle with you. Looking for a lifetime of belly rubs and sleeping late with you on the weekends (or any day).

I am a normal puppy that does normal puppy stuff. I am a little shy when first meeting other dogs, but after a while I settle right in. I try to tell the other foster puppy (who weighs 70lbs more), that I won’t take his heavy paw tactics. Foster mom must step in sometimes to save him.

I am not into being crated, but I will settle down after some time. I like to be around where all the action is happening…boot scooting after the bigger dogs or just running through for no reason.

Been learning about this long thing that gets attached to my neck. Foster mom has been having me drag it around, sometimes I like to carry it around. But I don’t understand why I can’t go where I want to yet.

My potty training has been going well. Foster mom has picked up my signal for when I need to go out. If you see me running from door to door, that might be a hint. I have learned to go through a dog door, but that is only when I want back into the house. Of course foster mom has been diligent on this subject since it is such an important issue.

Hi, my name's Andover, but you can call me Andy. I answer to both. The vet says I'm a year and a half but I sure feel like a puppy still! I had a rough life until I was rescued and the vet fixed me up. My feet are still kind of banged up, but that doesn't keep me from running and jumping and playing with my foster siblings. Like many humans these days, I have something called allergies… so I’m looking for a forever family that understands how allergies are and knows that they don’t keep me from being a great, loving friend!  I just may need some extra TLC (and I’ll give plenty of TLC to you)!

I am a typical Lab who likes to chew, but if you give me attention I will have no time for that. What I really like is snuggling and belly rubs. As much as I like to be outside, I love nothing more than sitting with my human or sleeping on my fellow four legged siblings. I haven't met a person I didn't like yet, but sometimes my energy makes me a rough snuggler, so you might want to keep me away from little kids until I grow up a little more (unless they have experience with a large dog). I am great with cats, and other dogs. I like to play so I would do best with other dogs, but if no other pups I can get by with lots of attention from my two legged family. 

I'm an expert already at Sit, Lay Down, Stay, Come, Go to bed(crate), and I am getting better everyday on the leash. I am not always a fan of the crate but that is only if it is really long periods of time. I sleep in there at night and whenever no one is home. 

I'm looking forward to finding a forever family to call my own!

Hi there. I’m Spike. Do you have a lap? I love laps. There’s really nothing better than the warmth of a human’s skin, don’t you think? Sometimes my foster-mom’s lap disappears. I’ll take a nap on her feet then if she stays still long enough, though usually she doesn’t. I love to play, but truth be told I love sleeping a little more. My sister wants to move and play ALL the time. I’d much rather just lay on my back and chew on a toy while someone rubs my tummy. My foster-mom promised she’d find me a forever home. My foster mom said she thinks maybe a nice lady who wants to me to sit on the couch and watch TV with her would be great for me. She said a lady might be better at recognizing something is upsetting me. I like the idea of a guy though. Or a couple. I’m not picky. I would just like someone to love me, who brings out all the love I have to give. I love sticks. And TV is the coolest! I’m pretty good on a leash though my sister always wants to run and I’d rather just walk and smell the roses, and everything else I pass. I play with the big dog that lives here but she sometimes makes me mad too. She gets pretty mad when I bite her.  I bark when I want something, but my foster mom has been teaching me to wait more patiently. I haven’t learned to bark when I want to go out, but my foster mom always takes me out when I wake up so I do most of my business outside. I like my crate and don’t mind hanging out in there for a little while but not more than a couple hours. I sleep about midnight to 6am which my foster mom says is pretty good for a boy my age. She says I’m a sweetheart and that if I find someone who needs to be loved as much as I need to be loved, we will make each other very happy.

Hi!, My name is Attina.  My foster family has renamed me Lucy.  I am roughly 9 weeks old and was part of a recent litter of puppies that was lucky enough to  get into the hands of DFWLR.  My sister and I have been with my foster family for close to 2 weeks and we have been loving all the attention as well as a big yard and lots of toys.

I get along great with all the adults, kids and dogs in the neighborhood and look forward to finding a forever home where I can play and have fun with everyone.

I love my daily walks with my foster family, but they do make me very tired and I always feel the need to sleep after I get home.  I’m also pretty smart and have learned to sit, how to  chase balls (a little), and how to run through the bushes in my back yard.  I love attention and would do best in a home where I can get plenty of exercise and attention.  I am close to house trained and am also crate trained.

I look forward to becoming available and getting to my forever home and growing up into a big dog with my new family.  I promise I will be a great addition to any family as I am very cute, smart and very trainable.

Hi there. Sparkle is the name and shining bright is my game. You know that Destiny’s Child song – Independent Women?  That’s me! My brother Spike is such a bore. Always wanting to take naps and hang out in someone’s lap. I want to GO! See the world. Explore. Check out new things. Don’t get me wrong. I love humans. I get very excited when I see them. I love to run around the yard with my foster-mom. She’s funny. I’m especially enamored with the big dog who lives here. She’s kind of my idol – though I think I annoy her a lot. I’d love a big dog to show me how life works. Kids are cool too if they can play a good game of romp and aren’t always trying to pick me up. It’s not that I hate being held, I’d just rather be moving around. I love chasing things. Slide it across the floor and I can do a ¾ belly flop turbo roll trying to land on it that will make everyone laugh.  My teeth are pretty sharp and I do love to bite though my foster mom’s been teaching me I should chew on doggie-things, not people and not people-things. I’m happy to hang out in my crate after my naps. My brother gets irritated and barks to get out sometimes but I’m cool with just chilling. I sleep less than he does so I’m used to just hanging out and chewing on my special crate chew toy. I’ve started to jump on the kitchen gate to let my foster mom know I need to go potty. She says I’m a smart girl. I’ve never gone poo in the house but my foster mom takes me outside a lot. I don’t think if she left me inside I could hold it very long. She says I’m very tenacious. I’m not sure what that means but I think it has something to do with being smart and determined. But hey, that’s how us independent women are! I’d love a forever family who is on the go.  My foster-mom told me there are these cool places called dog parks but that I’m still too young to go to them. I think I’d like them. I love walks. Well I guess I should say I love runs. My brother and I are on a double leash. He tries to walk so I have to run even harder to keep him moving. He’s such a slow poke. I’m always trying to catch the big dog but her legs are SO long it is hard to catch up. I love being out in the big world, the wind in my ears, the sun in my eyes. I especially love when people stop and say hi to me. I hope my forever family likes to take me with them everywhere. There’s a whole world out there I want to make mine!

My foster family tells me that I am the sweetest dog they have ever met! I have been on my best behavior with my foster family and get along really well with my foster brother and sisters. The cat fascinates me but I haven't been too interested in chasing him like one of my foster sisters does.

I've spent the last five weeks resting up after being treated for heartworms and am ready to enjoy life as a healthy puppy! Be quick about requesting to meet me because I will have no trouble finding my forever family!

Just call me Max. I'm enjoying my stay here in my foster home. We have other dogs and I like their company. We get to go for walks which I enjoy. I'm very good at it if I say so myself. I love chasing squirrels and birds but have not caught any as yet. My foster mom thinks I wouldn't be too good with cats because of it. Not because I would hurt them but because I want to play chase. We have a dog door and I use it as I please. When my foster family leaves I hang in my crate quietly. Not crazy about going in but will deal with it because I'm inside in the AC. My last home made me stay outside all the time. I didn't like that and could squeeze out through the gate. I just sat on the front porch but still would have preferred it inside. My fosters think that somewhere in my prior life, an owner or trainer was pretty heavy handed because I cower away pretty quickly to fast moves I'm not expecting. I'm a lover not a fighter and if another dog growls or corrects me it only takes once and I stay away. Oh and if you are looking for that big huge Lab that's not me. I'm purebred but on the smaller more compact side. 

I'll be interviewing families soon so stay tuned.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I can't wait to meet my furever family!

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

Hi Everybody!  My name is Adella!  I had to sneak on here real quick to write to y'all because my foster mom has been putting it off.  She says she's not ready for me to go!  She says I'm perfect...I've got 3 furry foster siblings so I think she knows what she's talking about!  Ok, so she gets real excited about a few things so hopefully you will too and pick me! 1) I know my name and come running through the house to her when she calls it....she usually has treats so of course I won't miss that chance 2) She does this weird hand thing and I take a seat...she gets a kick out of it 3) I love sleeping in...one day foster mom was sick so I snuggled with her until 9:30am, she so was so proud of me for letting her sleep 4) I run into my kennel when it's time for her to work ...I know when she picks up her travel mug it's treat time in the kennel and I run there lighting fast 5) I finally figured out the difference between the fluffy rug & grass...she really liked that one!  Ok so enough about me...Tell me all about you!
Paws crossed I find someone that enjoys food, long walks, giving belly rubs, and snuggling (wait did I mention food) as much as I do!

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

Hi, my name is Alphonso, but most people call me AL. I am about a year and a half old, but sort of an old soul. I love to follow my foster mom around everywhere and basically I am her shadow.

My foster mom also gave me my very own doggie door that I love to use when I need to take care of business.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 Will chase squirrels until time stands still

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

from the start.

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

lab his age.

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

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

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

Lumpy will slow up and let the kid get it.

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

doing it.

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

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

position.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A doggy door, no problem!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I am a very chilled lady and a truly gentle soul; nothing fazes me - I like kids, other dogs and am even fine with cats; I like to  cuddle and am very grateful for love and affection as I have not had much attention before I got surrendered. I like to swim and play fetch and walk nicely on a leash. I honestly have no bad habits - I don't chew anything, don't bark, don't damage anything and am perfectly house trained.

Burton

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I'm being fostered along with my brother, Frank, though I'm the far superior one in the brains & beauty department.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hi. I'm Nola. My foster mom and all our friends call me Lola. I'm a 1.3 year old, yellow female.
I'm a little timid when I first meet you (dog or human), but I warm up real fast! I just need a minute to check you out. And then I'd like to snuggle with you, play fetch with you, go for a walk with you.... I'm great on a leash (I pull a little when we first start or if I see a bunny - but again, I just need a minute to check things out!)
I'm about 99% house trained, 100% crate trained and 95% trustable when home alone with free run of the house  (I pulled the mail off the counter one time.... just one time! And it was junk mail!)
My foster mom says I'm a real sweetheart! And who am I to argue?!
I can't wait to meet my forever family!!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love, Manny

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He is looking forward to his forever home!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Witten is a one year old active, happy puppy!  He will make you smile, He loves to run and play fetch.  He needs work on a leash but is trainable.  He is potty trained.  He will be fine with young children, as he met my 1 year old grandson and was gentle.  He does NOT like CATS though.  He will need a big yard to run and play.  Want a hunting dog?  He would love to be trained to help you out!!!  He has gorgeous golden eyes!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

By putting me under the tree

And I promise I won’t pee…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

My foster mom says I’m improving but still need some more practice. I’m potty trained and crate trained. I love playing with toys and other dogs. But even more than that I like being around people. Ear scratches are my favorite. I also like long naps, bones and squeaky toys.

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

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

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

All I want for Christmas is my forever home,

My forever home,

Yes, my forever home!

Gee if I could only have my forever home,

Then I could have a Merry Christmas!

Hi, I am Mufasa (but they call me Moose). I am a handsome 3 yr old lab and I am ready to find my forever home. I am great walking on a leash. I know some commands. I love my two foster Lab brothers and although I am curious about my foster cat, we are buddies. I love ear rubs, snuggles, stuffed animals, and just being close to you. I am not such a fan of a crate though. My foster parents have left me outside of it and few times and the house is still standing. At night, I sleep on a pillow in their room. I am just a big teddy bear with the saddest eyes. If you think I would be the right lab for you please check me out so I can finally say that I got the best Christmas present ever, a forever home of my very own!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I know you would make the perfect match for me!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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