Hi there fans,

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

After all this time I am ready to find my perfect home. I want my new owner to be interested in continuing my training. We have some private lessons I bring along so we can learn more together. There is no doubt that I will be the most amazing companion you will ever have at your side. So let’s meet soon so we can talk with the rescue about us being a family. Looking forward to meeting you soon.

Hardie

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.

Things were looking pretty bleak for me when my family took me to the shelter on December 22, 2019. Not my idea of a fun Christmas. But I was one lucky boy when the good folks at DFW Lab Rescue decided to pick me up. They say I am kind of an old guy, but Foster Mom says I sure don’t act like it! I am sweet, sweet, sweet, house trained, walk well on a leash, ride well in the car, and like all people and dogs. But man, the “Joy Meter” goes up though when someone brings out a tennis ball. My, oh my, I do love retrieving those balls. But I also know my manners. I sit before the ball is thrown, bring it back and drop it at your feet, and sit for you to do it again. Oh, I also know “sit” and “stay” (although that last one is pretty hard when one of those yellow balls is involved).

I will be great for someone who likes to go for walks, throw the yellow ball for me, then come home and snuggle. I love all kinds of affection and being close. As long as we are together, I am one happy, happy boy. I am looking for my new home and hoping my Forever Family will show up soon. If you think I might be the guy for you, just let the folks at DFW Lab Rescue know!

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!!

Hello, my name is Sweet Sally, name just about says it all. I am one very sweet little girl. I am very good with my foster dogs I live with, I am sweet with the little kids that come to play with me, fact I like all humans. I am good about sleeping in my crate at night, I never make a sound. I sit and lay down on command and take treats very gently. I am 100% house trained and settle down nicely in the house. I stay very close to my human fosters, if they move then so do I. 

Now don’t forget I am still a puppy, I will grab the dish towel off the counter and run off with them but when I hear no, I know what that means, I am very remorseful. While I'm not quite perfect, I'm pretty darned good for a girl my age. I am healthy and ready for my next step in finding my way to my forever home. I like belly rubs and love to give kisses, hope to find a family that will give me that kind of love back.

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

Khloe has lived with children and in an apartment in her prior life. She loves going for walks, though will pull a little initially but settles quickly into a nice pace. Sweet Khloe is unfortunately 25-30 pounds overweight. Her perfect new life would include daily exercise either walking or swimming. We are on a diet with a daily walking routine to get her new life off to the best possible start. Khloe loves attention, while happily sitting near us to be loved on while we are watching TV.

Did I mention she loves car rides? If you think you can help Khloe get back in shape and are willing to be her best forever home, please reach out to adoptions and let us know you are interested in her. As her foster mom, I think she’s perfect. The quintessential Labrador

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