Tucker is the perfect buddy.  He is sweet, tolerant, friendly to all dogs, cats and humans and loves head scratches.  He has the best personality and the most expressive eyebrows!! He thinks he is a lap dog and his favorite place is with his head in your lap on the couch.  Tucker likes to play chase in the backyard with his two westie brothers and just goes with the flow. He is mature for his age and the easiest boy to take care of.  He loves to ride in the car and stick his head out the window for the full effect, has never met a stranger and is a total love bug.  Tucker is great with children and never growls or snaps.  He is not particularly food driven but he will tell you when it's dinner time and he does loves his treats!! 

Tucker really is the perfect boy plus so handsome!!

Chewy Buddy is a playful sweetheart! He loves to snuggle and even tells you how much he enjoys it. He knows sit and shake and is just picking up on learning that healthy snacks can be a yummy reward too (he had a little too much junk food in his past life). Chewy Buddy is a strong boy, but “ok” on the leash and he enjoys walks and exploring the variety of scents of the neighborhood. He is a bit shy with men at first, but a friendly and even talkative fellow.

Right now Chewy Buddy is getting lots of exercise playing with a pack of active dogs. He loves the dog pool whether it is just splashing around or dipping his feet in. He is a happy boy and will help you in the yard to move branches around  and loves to play tug of war. With playful growling he invites you or other dogs to play with him. Like any young lab, he needs to be watched with dog toys, and given the kind he can't eat when he gets hungry. With a restricted diet and all the movement in his foster home Chewy Buddy should loose a bit of his weight. He is learning life is not all dog kibble and table scraps, since he is uncertain what to do with a raw bone, fruits and veggies and continues to beg for human food.

Chewy Buddy is in need of patient & loving structure and routine. Sadly he was not outside potty trained previously and we are working on understanding the principles of being fully house broken. Chewy Buddy learns quickly and is now crate trained and sleeps quietly during the night in the crate. When not possible to watch him all the time, he will spend time in the crate. He is learning all the basics he missed out on before but Chewy Buddy is young, food driven, interested, curious and a huge love bug. He will learn quicky!

This guy will give you lots of pure love and joy in return for the attention he needs to bloom.  This sweet yellow lab has amazing potential to be a wonderful loving friend on your side. You can watch Chewy Buddy (he is the chubby yellow lab) in action in a with a dog pack here:  https://youtu.be/0qMZmNgvPmA

Hi we are Demarco’s foster family, let us tell you a bit about this sweet boy. He was picked up by animal control which probably explains why he insists he gets to walk on the inside away from the street ( so no one picks him up again). DFW Lab Rescue pulled him from the shelter and he is now in our foster home. He had heartworms so he had his pre-treatment, heartworm treatment and has just completed his bed rest. This guy is feeling good now and he is full of vigor, ready to go! 

Demarco is a young lab and is full of liveliness and energy. He is stunningly handsome, long legged, American style Labrador. He is quite thin so he will need to put on some weight but he loves food and good boy treats so that will not be a problem. Out of 63 foster dogs I can say that Demarco is one of the best dogs I have ever taken for a walk. He cannot wait to get outside but once he is out, he is very good on the leash. He loves to walk especially now that is cooler. He has been very friendly to everyone we have met on our outings both people and other dogs, he has no problems with being petted and loved on.

Demarco loves playing with our Labrador. He loves to rastle and play chase. Our lab is a bit older so our lab just waits for him behind the sofa and jumps out and Demarco thinks it is funny and he runs around and around the sofa without realizing no one is really chasing him. Demarco also loves to crouch
down and pretend like he is a stealth ninja who is going to pounce on our lab. Demarco is hard to miss though so our lab always see him coming and then the chase is on. Demarco loves his chew toys and bones. As he is young, he uses them almost like a pacifier ( it is the first thing he runs and gets when he gets out of his crate) and then likes to bump you in the back of the leg while you are doing chores so you can see he has a toy. He is potty trained (hooray!), crate trained (although is very vocal that he wants to come out and play) but he does settle down and he is crated while we go to work, school and at night. We have a twelve year old boy in our house too and Demarco loves it when he gets out his hockey stick and they play keep away with a ball or puck. He is not a mouthy or licky dog but he really likes to play and has a lot of energy. He can get all four legs high off the ground when he jumps to catch a ball. He likes to be petted and gives sweet little kisses.

Demarco will definitely need some basic obedience classes as he is looking for reassurance, boundaries and he wants to please. His most challenging habit right now is wanting to put everything in his mouth – shoes, blankets, remotes, toys and wanting to carry them around. We are working on the drop command and what is ok for him to play with. On the bright side our house has been less cluttered and neater than it usually is as we quickly straighten the house before he comes out of his crate. (Our son even puts his shoes away in his room, it is a miracle!) All in all, Demarco is a super sweet, handsome lab who needs some basic training, daily walks, play time, love and attention. As he continues to get older, he is going to become even more awesome and he will be a loving member of your household. He will do well with all aged people and loves playing with other dogs if you have one who likes to play. We
are not sure about how he feels about cats.

The name Dalton means brave and faithful, and this gorgeous chocolate lab lives up to his namesake. After being deserted by his only owner, Dalton was rescued and given a second chance at life, which is amazing, because I don’t know how anyone couldn’t love this sweet boy. Dalton is affectionate,
expressive, smart, and just happy to be here. He is the kind of soul you wish you were—optimistic, positive, and excited about life.

Even though he’s beyond puppy age, Dalton has a lot of puppy innocence left in him. He absolutely loves playing with toys, especially tennis balls, going on walks, and exploring the world. This clever boy is house and potty trained, and excellent on a leash. He does get very excited on walks, and even barks in a high-pitch tone for about the first five minutes of them to express his brimming excitement (so cute!)—but he does not pull, preferring you to lead. He also chases his tail. It’s adorable, along with his other quirks.

Need a cuddle? He’s a pro. Dalton loves hard and fast. While he’d do well in any home (minus cats) we’d prefer a home with another dog for companionship, or kids to play with. Regardless, he will be grateful and happy to join any loving family who chooses to commit to him for life. He will undoubtedly add years of joy and blessings to his forever home.

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

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

Blaize is a calm sweetie who wraps everyone he meets around his little paw!  He likes nothing better than to hang with his people and take some nice walks to say hello to the neighbors.   He walks fairly well on the leash but likes to zig zag so we are working on that.

Blaize is a gentleman around other dogs but is mostly interested in your attention (well...and your food).   He hasn't yet shown any interest in toys or play but does have a keen interest in what yummy morsel might be on the counter.  He also enjoys the couch when he is able to sneak on up there!

Blaize would do best with someone interested in a mature buddy that does not have too many stairs to navigate as he ages.  He is a wonderful game night supervisor!

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

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

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

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

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

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

She loves exploring outside, picking up sticks and playing fetch. She is still learning about outside and inside and where to go potty. She will let you know when she has to go with a little whining. She would need someone who can put in the time to train her and continue helping her become the best dog she can.  She will make someone a great friend and companion.

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

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

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

Navarro is an adorable little go getter.  He enjoys exploring the huge yard and trying to keep up with the bigger resident dogs even if he has to put on the brakes, or just playing with his siblings and toys. Navarro is learning the ins and outs of potty training. He will whine when he needs to go out. He isn’t a
fan of being isolated from others, but really what Lab does?   Navarro will be a blessing in any home especially one where someone is home to help with his housetraining and continued teaching of proper house etiquette.

He would do best with someone who has the time to help him learn house etiquette. He will make someone a great friend and companion.

Kaufman is a layed back boy who enjoys playing, cuddling up, and giving kisses. This cutie pie is learning his p’s and q’s while getting this housetraining nailed down. He has shown that he knows to go outside, but will continue to need encouragement to complete his training. He can be a little shy when it comes to the rumbustious resident dogs. Would do best with a calm dog if there was one in the home.

Kaufman will truly be a prize for any family.

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

If you are interested in meeting Seda she will be available next week so please let adoptions know if Seda sounds the perfect addition to your family.
