Sallie Mae is a petite (50lb) and really rambunctious puppy. She is all muscle and can wear out her 90-lb and 70-lb lab foster sisters at super rough play. She is housetrained, walks well on a leash (UNLESS she sees a rabbit - the prey drive is strong!) and isn’t extremely food driven, although she likes treats, will sit and has a gentle mouth for treats. She loves to sit for a full body massage! She loves to fetch and chew (hide your shoes!). She can outrun a squirrel (squirrel was running along the top of a fence, Sallie Mae on the ground). When she gets excited, she is still very mouthy and nippy, so no small children for now. We are using techniques to stop this, and she is already responding, but it takes time and consistency. She would benefit nicely from obedience training. She wants to be outside a lot with her person and room to run. She sleeps in her crate all night in a room alone, but fusses some when put there during the day.

July 22    Soho has developed some post surgery complications and will need an adtional 8 weeks of crate rest before we can continue with his 2nd TPLO surgery.    We are still anticipating a full recovery for this boy but just going to take a little longer to get him there. 

 From Soho - Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. I've my first knee TPLO surgery and am now in a foster home recovering. I will also need a 2nd one in a few months so I will not be available until the late fall. 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,  my foster Mom tells me I dont know my own strength and I act like I'm 10 lbs and not 100.  Younger kids who i could knock over easily probably isnt going to 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. 

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.

This 75lb bundle of mischief is well-named. "Loki" is always ready to join in any fun and games, and is quite capable of creating his own shenanigans. He was found wandering in the rural areas of Hunt County and spent a while at the Animal Shelter before he arrived in the DFWLRRC system. We have fostered him for a week as of this writing and what follows is a first impression.

Considering what he has been through, Loki is remarkably relaxed and friendly. He loves to chase and retrieve tennis balls and chews happily on Nylabones and hide chews (not to mention pillows and shoes, being in the middle of his "terrible twos" age-wise)! We are working hard on reminding him of behavior expected in a civilized home, which includes re-educating him on house-training (it's improved somewhat in his first week but is by no means perfect yet). He doesn't like being crated and will howl for a while before he eventually settles down. He has not shown any interest in making use of the swimming pool although he has fallen in a few times and got himself out.

He probably shouldn't be in a home with cats, but he has bonded with our AmStaff girl so we think he would quickly fit in to a family that already has a dog or two. He walks tolerably well on a leash but needs training and discipline to make him less of a handful when cats or squirrels appear, although he does not react much to other dogs on walks - he does seem to want to chase passing bicycles though! He has a curious habit of enjoying sleeping on his back with his legs in the air, even more so if he can find a wall or other surface to lean against. He has a light appetite, doesn't gulp down his kibble like so many labs, and is not food or treat aggressive either with either people or the other dog in the house. He will sit for a biscuit but pretends ignorance if commanded to do so at any other time - again, we are working on that.

He's a work in progress who is going to be a wonderful edition to an energetic family who are willing to spend the time training and directing him.

Howdy everyone! My name is Eliejah, and I am the happiest-go-lucky pup you'll ever meet. Don't be fooled by my age-- I've got the spunk of a puppy and the wisdom of a grown, trained lab. I grew up on a church camp and love the outdoors. Unfortunately, a visiting delivery person got a bit scared of me, so the camp had no choice but to leave me in the good hands of DFW Lab Rescue. My foster mom can't believe that this is my story because I'm very excited to meet all kinds of people, especially kids! I show kindness by gently licking. I love my fellow foster dogs and cats and I am even able to share food with my foster siblings without growling or snapping. My foster parents are really proud that I know how to use a crate, save restroom trips for the outdoors, and walk on a leash. I promise I'll be a great addition to any home or family of all ages and sizes.

Hi, Dottie here. If you are looking for  a super sweet, well mannered, and loyal companion, I'm your girl. A good Samaritan found me about a year ago but finally gave up on finding my owners. She took great care of me. I even put on a few pounds which I am now working on losing. Somewhere along the way, I managed to get heartworms, and so I am also in the process of getting those treated.

I currently am living with a small dog and I am very calm and non-reactive around him. He even likes me and he doesn't always like sharing his humans or toys. I have also been around cats and chickens with the Good Samaritan and was good with them. I have been making friends with the cows, horses and llamas that live behind me, but I still want to bark at them when I see them.

I like to go on quiet walks and I help my foster mom in the home office 5 days a week. I like to follow my people around to be wherever they are, but am not a snuggler per se. I do like to get scratches behind my ears and especially right above my tail. Scratching above my tail makes me rub against you from one side to another much like a cat. I am crate trained but I do sleep in a bed by my fosters and I don't bother them when they are sleeping. I am also trust worthy to be left out of the crate. I don't get into anything I'm not supposed to.  I like to stay up late at night and I don't like getting out of bed early in the morning. I am a night owl I guess you could say. I am potty trained also. I don't counter surf. I like riding in the car also which is all to say that I'm just almost perfect! 

Will you be my forever family?

Hi, my name is Ravan.  I am a sweet, gorgeous girl.  My brothers and I were turned over by a breeder/trainer, and, as you can imagine, I was bred and I was trained. I have experienced a lot in my two years of life, and I am ready to be a spoiled member of your family.  My manners are amazing- I am excellent on a leash (and LOVE to be outdoors!), I am house broken, and I love the safety of my crate.  I sleep all night in my crate without a peep, and I wouldn’t dream of getting on a piece of furniture. 

What my foster mom has to say:  Ravan is so calm and docile that you would never know she is a young lab.  While she has come so far since joining our family, she still lacks confidence and is shy.  She is scared of young children, but I completely trust her around our young boys.  She has not shown signs that she would harm a fly, so, while she has not been cat tested, I don’t think this would be a problem.  I think Ravan would thrive in any household, but I think her ideal match would be a home without small children and I think she would love four legged siblings.  She is going to be with us a while as she gets healthy so check back for updates because I think we are on the cusp of a happy, thriving, SWEETHEART that will make some lucky family so very happy.

Boeing is very friendly and loves attention.  He has been around a 5 year old and again very friendly but a little too rough in his play and has to be reminded not to jump. This guy is a work in progress and we are working on some manners and basic commands. He definitely knows sit. Check back in as we get to know him a little better and watch his progress.
