Sept 13   Soho is now scheduled for his 2nd TPLO surgery in late Sept.  Unfortunaltly he still has complications from the first TPLO surgery and that may need to be redone in 4-8 weeks. 

 From Soho - Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. As you can see, I’m one big gorgeous guy. My Foster Mom tells me I’m a gentle giant (well maybe not so gentle but very loving)  and as sweet as can be.  I’m housed train, get along with my doggy foster brother and even get along with the house cat.  I get free roam of the house during the day but sleep in my crate at night. Im still learing to take treats more gently,  but I just get so excited that I sometimes forget myself.  I'm being told I wake up to early but heck, when the sun is coming up, we should all be up. I tend to barrel into people when i meet them with my excitement but I'm just sure that everyone wants to meet me and give me belly rubs.  Smaller kids who i could knock over easily probably wont be  the best fit.  I love meeting other dogs to say Hi but really I rather just get belly rubs and  hang with the humans.  Im not much of a barker except when my foster Mom is getting my food ready, and then I just have to let her know how hungry I am.  

My surrendering family had kids and I loved being around them but unfortunately my family had to surrender me because they could not afford my surgeries. They knew that DFWLRR would take great care of me and find me the perfect loving home.

As Giada’s foster, if I had to pick one word that describes her it would be PEACEFUL. This girl has the sweetest nature. She is loving and attentive. She is tolerant of young crazy dogs, and even plays with them appropriatley. She loves treats and is knowledgeable of many commands and is a very obedient girl that loves walks and is great on a leash. Giada was found wandering near a busy Highway. It appears she had worn out her usefulness to someone as she has had more then one litter of puppies. The finder took care of her for 4 months trying to locate an owner to no avail. She then called DFW Lab Rescue to help her find her forever home.

Giada has been the perfect houseguest since her move to into resuce. She crates quietly though she really does not need it. She uses the dog door as she pleases. Sleeps on a dog bed in our room at night. She is the 6th dog in our home and gets on well with everyone of the others. While she is not interested in swimming in the pool, she will come hang poolside while the humans and the others swim. Giada also has zero issues with the cats and zero prey drive. Her heartworm treat was done mid September so she will be ready to meet families by mid October. Let adoptions know if you are interested in meeting this precious soul.

When they say it takes a village - this is the perfect example.  Abiquiu is one of 3 puppies that came to us at only 3 days old.  Their mom had died while giving birth and their owners felt they could not handle their care so dropped them off at the shelter.   The shelter called us and of course we immediatly went to pick them up and brought them directly to a foster.  The fosters had to bottle feed them every few hours in order for them to survive..   Luckily a few days later, we had a breeder from Oklahoma reach out who wanted to  surrender a momma dog (Navi on our website ) who had just weaned her puppies.  One of our awesome volunteers made the drive, picked her up and brought her to the puppy fosters home.  It took a little doing, but Mom started nursing the puppies.  Now they are old enough to eat some gruel and they are thriving.   We will make them available around 8 weeks old when they have had their first round of puppy shots.

Big boy Blaine is a beautiful, 95 pound (he has gained some much needed weight since in our care), silver Lab who is looking for his forever home. He is strong and very loving, happy and eager to learn. Blaine’s previous life was spent outdoors without much affection, proper care or training. His job was to make baby Blaines and those days are behind him now! He is working on crate training but is not really a fan (he barks - very pitifully like a please come let me out of this thing bark) and can be trusted sleeping in the bed (his preferred place) or near you.  He has learned how to sit, sometimes lay down and occasionally stay. He also loves to play with or just carry around his toys (squeakers, nylabones, balls) and he enjoys a short game of fetch in which he will even bring the ball back and put it down near you most of the time.

Blaine walks well on a leash, but will pull if you let him and he gets very excited for those walks! He likes meeting people and loves to be petted, scratched on his head or just to lay near you. He rides well in a car and really wants nothing more than he wants to be where you are. His days are spent selecting toys from the basket, lying near the desk during the work day, and greeting anyone when they come for a visit. Blaine is a great dog who would do best in a home with leadership and love. He may not be good with small pets (he sometimes appears to be very interested) and he does well with kids. He is a gentle and very sweet guy.

In his foster home, Georgie is very much a "Happy Prince". He was surrendered to DFWLRRC as his owner's new landlord did not take dogs. He is quite compact for a lab, and is a lighter weight than average (although he is eating well and may fill out a little more). There is nothing this charming, sweet guy wants more than to be with his humans; he will follow you everywhere, and his sense of curiosity means everything needs to be checked out. When not napping, having his tummy rubbed or eating, Georgie really enjoys playing with a tennis ball or a tug rope. He likes hide chews and butcher bones too.

He walks pretty well on a leash, and is fairly well-behaved when he sees other dogs, although he wants to play with them. Luckily, he has formed a firm bond with our older pit-bull girl, and they keep each other amused with puppy games and tug o' war when they aren't curled up together on the dog-beds. He also gets on well with our cat, although he can get a little excited when the "funny looking dog" comes up to him. He sits, stays (mostly) and gives his paw. He will lay his head on your lap when he needs attention so you can stroke his head and he can gaze up at you. If nothing is going on, he will find a spot where he can keep on eye on the maximum number of humans, and curl up waiting for the next adventure.

He will occasionally shy unexpectedly - we have had incidents with laundry baskets, wheelbarrows and hats freaking him out slightly, but it is only momentary until he realizes they are not posing a threat. He has also shown some angst about bicycles getting close to him, but otherwise he is a very solid, well-natured dog with good manners who will fit in perfectly with an active family and be a wonderful companion.

Razen is a sweet, petite (just 40 pounds) little girl that just wants to please. She listens well, she loves her crate, and has the most gentle mouth ever. She likes all humans and is gentle with kids. She gets along with her big dog foster sisters. Although she was initially nervous, she warmed up in less than a week. She does not enjoy cats or small dogs. Mostly she wants to be where the humans are. She is housetrained, crate trained, hardly ever barks, doesn’t chew or counter surf (too short). She loves meal time, doesn’t mind a bath, and will sit on command. She would be fine in a situation with no other dogs or with other large dogs that are pretty chill.
