10/21/20 -  Demarco has been moved back to Coming Soon.  He will be going through some allergy testing

Hi my name is Demarco, although I must admit sometimes I think it’s no because I hear that a lot too. I’m quite the handsome guy and a little bit smaller than some of my gy friends. But don’t let my smaller size fool you I’m full of life and don’t have much use for sleep. My favorite days are going to the country

where I have a lake to play around and swim in. I have a strong desire to hunt and retrieve and irronically am fascinated with dragonflies. I’ll gladly chase them around for hours, enjoying every minute.

When I’m in the city, I really enjoy riding in the car and going on long walks. I’m told I’m a little over exuberant at the beginning of a walk but after a while I go at a normal pace. Being confined for an extended period is not good for me. My energy level becomes more than I can handle. So hours of exercise or getting out two or three times a day is best for me right now - and that's on top of my squirrel duty in the back yard.

I’m pretty good in the house but still have to stay in the crate when I’m home alone. Apparently its because I will pick up anything on the floor. I do
have my favorite toys but can truly and throughly enjoy getting a water bottle or milk jug to play with and chew on. Boxes are another favorite, but that can make quite the mess.

So if you’re the active type and like a loving & energetic companion - lets set up a time to meet.

Hello to all the DFW Lab friends that stop by to read about me. Before I came to my foster home I was not handled much. Then one day the volunteers from DFW Lab Rescue showed up. I did not understand that they were there to help us and not having learned to trust any humans, I tried really hard to run away. I was terrified. My foster mom saw that immediately and knew I would take a bit more time than the others to find my forever home and successfully move on to be a beloved family member. My foster parents have been teaching me at my pace. I am walking on a leash in the neighborhood now and I love going for walks unless it's trash day - those cans scare me. I am allowed to slow down and sniff which helps me to understand more. Sometimes I get nervous like when we stop to talk to neighbors. I will stand behind my foster family and study the strangers until they leave and I am getting more comfortable with people at a distance.

I can now eat treats from my foster mom’s hands. In the evening she sits on the floor with us and we are learning sit which I hate and lie down which I have mastered. She is always talking to me and tells me when I am a good girl. I get a bit nervous about her motives and won’t come when asked yet but we will see how that goes in the near future. We still have a long way to go and I am going to visit with a trainer for some more focused training this week. I like my foster dad unless he puts me in the crate. When he lets me out I give him a single “what for” bark then go on my way. He still makes me a little nervous but he means well so I will give him a little affection now and then.

I love my foster siblings. They make me feel safe. The yellow girl barks to warn us of ANY possible danger. This way I can run in or out the dog door. Speaking of the dog door, it is so handy and I have learned to go outside whenever I want to go potty. I like my foster mom the best. She is very patient with me. She will play with me if my foster siblings won’t. Since I have been here we have had two other fosters my age and I have learned a lot about playing. 

Please check back for updates. I will remind my foster mom to post them so you will know when I am getting ready for my forever home.

Hello, I'm Hazzel and I'm looking for my forever family. I was abandoned on the side of the road by my previous family. That was not cool! But I waited there for them to come back and burned my little paws. Needless to say, they didn't come back for me. Luckily, I was picked up by a Good Samaritan and taken in this rescue and now I'm hanging out with my cool foster family and becoming the little lady that I knew I could be.

I have good manners - I know Sit, Stay, Come and some other commands.  If you want me to learn new ones, just let me know - I'm eager to learn and please. I do jump up on people when I am really excited, but I'm learning not to do that. I do like to chew, but I stay away from things that I shouldn't chew on - your shoes are safe with me!  So having safe toys and bones around would be great! I'm fully potty trained and will let you know when I need to go outside.  I like being in my crate - it makes me feel safe.  Toys and balls are fun!

I have so much love to give and would love to be a part of your family.

My name is Jeau and I'm getting settled into my foster home.  They say I had a rough start in life at a breeder for the first year of my life and then I was with someone who kept me out in the yard all the time. I didn't know how good it was to sleep in air conditioning at night! I'm not used to foster mom and dad quite yet but I'm starting to trust them and like the mom best so far. I'm not so sure of that guy that tries to pet me, but I'm liking him more and more every day. They tell me that I need more socialization skills around people, but I sure do like to run around in the yard with my foster brothers.

From Jeau's foster mom:  Jeau is a sweet guy, very timid, and just needs lots of love and patience. He walks well on a leash, but can get startled by sudden noises. He is crate and house trained, and likes to play with his foster brothers. He's looking for someone that can love him and help him gain confidence through day to day interaction with people. He has come a long way since we brought him home, but it will take a lot of loving to bring this sweet guy to be the doggy he was meant to be. If you have time to be patient and loving, he will become a great companion and angel for you.

Mellow, calm, eager to be loved . . . this describes Stringer. He is a fox red lab whose life before now is a mystery. He was found as a stray. He has multiple scars on his face and legs, a missing toe nail, and a broken tooth. He has not had a comfortable life but he is heartworm negative, so someone cared enough about him to give him monthly HW preventive. He is good with other dogs of all sizes and after feeling comfortable with them he will play. He is very food motivated (he’s a Lab after all) so he’ll be easy to train. His likes . . . food, treats, food, soft touches and whispers in his ears. His dislikes . . . water, squirrels and storms.

Stringer will make someone a wonderful companion. Look past the scars and see his wonderful heart and soul.

I’m guessing that you are looking on this page because you are feeling the need for some four-legged loving in your household.  You have clicked on the right pup!! 

My name is Daisy May, and I would love to become part of your family.  I have to admit that I was pretty shy and a little skittish at first, and definitely not a big fan of being at the vet.  However, when my foster mom brought me home, I really came out of my shell.  I was particularly excited when I met my four legged foster brother and I love playing with him!  I’m cautious with new humans, but when I figure out that I can trust you, you will get lots of kisses and cuddles.  My foster family is trying to show me how to behave in the house and I’m learning to follow the “rules”.  I think they are impressed because I’m smart and learn things pretty fast. They really like that I'm ok going into my crate when they need me to and I don't complain about it. I will also sleep there all night long. The whole "wait until you are outside" to go potty thing is new to me, but I'm doing my best to stick to it.

Thanks for checking me out. I hope you are as anxious to find your forever pup as I am to find my forever family!!!

Liv is such a sweetheart! She will be your shadow all day long and loves to snuggle through the night. She is learning to play with toys, but doesn’t destroy anything. She just carries them around gently. Liv is very curious of her surroundings and especially loves to chase squirrels and rabbits! She’s on alert at the window whenever she isn’t snuggling or playing.

Liv has done very well with her potty training. There may still be an occasional accident, but she’s very smart and aims to please. She is also doing very well with Sit, Shake and Down commands and walks very well on a leash.

Liv is currently living with foster dogs and kids and gets along well with them all.  She is going to bless someone’s home with so much love and fun! Will it be yours?

Meet mellow Gable, a handsome boy with a reddish yellow coat referred to as "fox red".  He was a stray picked up with no ID, so he is a mystery man.  Somewhere along his life’s journey, Gable suffered injuries that left him with some now faded scars and a missing right ear.  However, he has also clearly been a loving and loved pet; he is joyful with new people and craves attention. He shadows his person everywhere.  He is house trained, crate trained, and leash trained.  He walks on a loose leash as well as a more formal “heel.” He obviously wants to be back in a settled, loving home!!

Gable is a cuddler who enjoys petting and will ask for it with a paw or his head in his foster mom’s lap.  He likes to lie next to his foster mom or his foster sister on the couch. He would like to be a lap dog and bed buddy if he is permitted to do those things, but he is also happy to go his own way if discouraged from those privileges. Gable takes treats very gently, though at times his foster mom reminds him to be “easy,” and he remembers not to grab.

Gable is good with his foster sister, who is a little too old and too small to be much of a playmate when he invites her to chase or wrestle.  If he were to find a home with a dog buddy who was up to his speed, he would love the play and companionship. Gable is not an inappropriate barker – he will alert when his sister fires off at something strange outside and when the driveway alarm goes off.  His indoor voice is a whimper – get out of bed, please; let me out of this crate, please; let me outside, please. He is great with his crate and eats there for privacy and often sleeps there by his own choice. He spends time there when Foster Mom is away just to be sure that play does not get too crazy or into mischief with his foster sister when no humans are home.

Gable seems familiar with stuffed chew toys and ropes.  He gnaws them but does not seem interested in shredding them. He has not chewed furniture, blankets, clothes, though he will pick up a shoe and take it to his favorite lie down spot (without chewing).  He does not retrieve and he seems ignorant of typical people/dog play. He seems to be happy staring out the door or windows or going outdoors to lie in the sun and guard the property.

Gable is undergoing heartworm treatment, so his stay here will extend into December. He has not yet spent time in town walking among people and city critters and cars and noise, so that is a future experience to be reported as his treatment permits.  He has been through a fierce storm recently with no reaction at all, and he does not seem to shy at strange things – workmen’s trucks, cows, coyote howls.  He is relaxed and just biding his time until his “real” family shows up!

Hello, Estrella here.

Let me tell you about my favorite things first. I love playing with the resident dogs, helping load the dishwasher, tug-a-war, eating toilet paper rolls, and of course, snuggling on the couch. Now that I got the important stuff out of the way. I am house and crate trained. I will sit at the door when I need to go out or use the doggie door. When in my crate at night, I am as quite as a mouse. You might even forget I am here.I am a sweet, very social dog that loves meeting people and other dogs. I would love to have a young playmate to help me learn even more. I might be too much for an older dog that prefers to be left alone. I am still very much a puppy and will need to continue training, but what young pup doesn’t. I still jump up at times and do some mouthing, so it would be best not to have young children in my furever home. 

I will be ready to meet you soon, thank you for stopping by to read about me.

Hi future family, whoever you are! My name is Mercy. I’m hanging out with my foster mom right now but wanted to introduce myself. I’m a very petite lady, with a beautiful, shiny black coat and pretty brown eyes. Kinda hooked already, aren’t you? 

The amazing folks at DFW Lab Rescue say I was found out wandering around. I’m not sure how long I was on my own at such a young age but I am trying to learn what being safe and loved is all about. It's not easy to believe that I’m going to have food and a soft place to sleep all of my own.  I am initially shy and take awhile to warm up to new people. I also do not like loud noises like car horns or doorbells and stuff .... but I love other dogs and am not shy about showing them my fun, playful labby side!

My foster mom says I walk really well on a leash, although I am still a little timid about it. I know one of you has the patience and love to show me how much fun walks to the dog park can be! I am a champion napper and like to play with my new toys but am not quite sure what to do with the ball my foster mom throws once I catch it. I mean, its mine now right, why drop it??

If you think you have the time and heart for helping me feel safe, loved, and happy…let’s meet up!

Abe is very sweet, incredibly handsome, and surprisingly calm for his age. He has two small foster dog siblings that he is gentle with and he loves it when he can get them to play. He walks slack on a leash except for when we encounter other dogs or an unknown item (like a stroller) and can get excited in these situations.  He is so friendly that he just can't help his excitement and this is something we are working and is something his forever family would need to continue. He sits on command and listens when we tell him “off”, “no”, or to “leave it” and he loves pulling all of the toys out of the toy basket but has not destroyed any yet. His favorite toys are ones with long limbs he can shake around and play tug-o-war with. He likes to carry around a frisbee or a tennis ball but isn’t always keen on playing fetch and hasn’t really learned how to catch.

Abe goes into his kennel with some coaxing and a treat and will sleep the entire night without a peep after on occasional whine for a few minutes in the beginning. He tends to get bored if left unattended and may find a shoe to carry around or something that is not a toy to chew on, however, he is quickly distracted and content if given a stuffed Kong or an antler to chew on his bed. He is house trained and hasn’t had any accidents, and has been learning to ring a bell like his foster siblings when he wants to go outside. Abe is curious about the pool but has not tried to get in and when we took him to the lake, he waded in the water but didn’t want to swim for sticks. He rides quietly in the car but looks to us for assistance to get in and out as he’s not a big jumper.

Abe is extremely loving and wishes he were a lap dog. He follows his foster parents around the house and is always looking for the opportunity to cuddle. He would be a great fit for a family who is willing to continue to work on his training, can provide him with ample activity, and will give him all the attention he craves!

Mayweather is a gentle, laid back dog; a distinguished chocolate gentleman! He loves nothing more than lounging around the house and receiving constant pets and affection. Mayweather enjoys spending time outside with his family and rolling around in the grass. He is a good walker and is quickly learning commands – he works very hard to be a good boy!

Mayweather is terrified of the crate and not a fan of car rides, so he needs to be with a family that doesn't require crating or a road trip companion. However, he has been good roaming the house; no accidents or damage to furniture or shoes! He's not sure what to do with a ball or squeaky toy, but mostly prefers to spend his time lounging in his soft bed. He has a sweet demeanor and would be good around children or in a home with a lot of activity. He’ll quickly turn into your little shadow.

Finnegan has a wonderful fun-loving Labrador personality. He loves to run, go for walks and play with his toys. Finnegan can also swim and loves to retrieve balls. He has a medium stature and is built like a Tonka truck. He is high spirited and affectionate all in the same minute. His tail is always wagging and patiently waits for the next activity to begin. Finnegan is a very active young pup and who will look around the room with the “Who is going to play with me next” attitude. He gets along with other dogs and does not mind cats. As Finnegan is a young enthusiastic pup, he will require some work on house manners and leash work.  Finnegan has all the tools and just needs some fine tuning. We feel he will thrive with consistency and structure. With that commitment we promise you will have a loyal lab companion that will make you smile every day.

Hello my name is Zekie. I am a handsome, young guy. Yes, I need to put on a few pounds. My foster mom is feeding me well and I like to eat everything. I am a owner surrender because my owner moved and could not keep me. I am house broken but not crate trained. I do well when left on my own, I may bark some, but I eventually settle down. I convinced my foster’s that by sleeping in a small ball, I was good to sleep with them!! I love to go on walks and ride good in the car. I am good with other labs and little dogs. I do tend to want to interact maybe too much with my fur friends and they get enough of me pretty quick. I am very possessive of my chew bone so only allowed to have it when the other dogs are not around. As long as I am telling the truth I have to say I am a mama’s boy, I cling to her side like Velcro, and I am very protective. Foster dad, well he is ok as long as he does not get between us. I will let him take me for walks, and I will go outside with him, but that’s about all he is good for.

Now grandkids, bring them on, I love kids, they can play with me all they want. Ok, to be totally honest I am just a puppy, I still need someone to work with me on the basics, I am eager to learn, feed me treats and I will do anything. I just need a family that has the time to work with me and I promise to be the best dog ever.
